I keed.

Here's one of the better articles I've ready about the Tablet, albeit it is more about what the device is likely to be in the context of how Apple approaches any product. But I found it interesting anyway and figured others might as well. Daring Fireball: The Tablet

Just figured that I'd bump this to say that I received my streaming DVD yesterday and tried it last night. Setup was simple and I seem to have sufficient bandwidth to maintain even the HD tagged titles (tested with Terminator 2). I hope that they continue to add content as the choices are somewhat limited and it'll be interesting to see if Comcast and other service providers start getting pissy about it if it gains in popularity. Added disclaimer: regular def content stuff looks pretty awful on my 42" TV, but the HD stuff was very watchable.

Papa Santa? If so, congrats Wayne.

Not sure. I'm still trying to figure out the illuminated "Input" switch.

No, it's not the same thing, but you could do something similar by taking a known voltage and building a series of dividers to check a range of voltages too. It was just a suggestion of one easy thing to check that might hint at how the meter is doing. Me, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm with the camp that says as long as the meter provides repeatable/consistent results rather than pin-point accuracy it's doing what I need it to do.

Glad to hear it, that would have been pretty awful. The heat shrink choice stands as pretty lazy, but otherwise probably fine.

That'd be my guess.

Buy some tight tolerance resistors, measure the group, judge for yourself. Better yet, buy some sets in wildly separated values, test them all.

Wake me when it's not restricted to T-mo. Their coverage map in my neck of the woods looks even worse than AT&T.

The least I would have done would have been to add a piece of shrink above where Alex's stopped. That would have taken all of 5 minutes and made for a much better looking finished product, there's no excuse for amanufacturer not to do that. And that still doesn't explain the zip tie, assuming I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing. I also don't think it's fair to invoke -=her=- just yet so let's avoid hyperbole for a little while longer.

I'm not going to cut him any slack when he can't be bothered to run the fracking heatshrink up into the driver housing and make his product look professional. Do I also see a zip tie poking out of the housing too??!??

Figured I might as well see what the fuss is about. So far it strikes me in a somewhat Modest Mouseish way, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'm sorry to say that even prior to this incident I was leaning this way and will almost definitely not be picking up another pair now. Suck pill.

Any other USB devices behaving badly? I unfortunately suspect the DAC if it isn't even improperly being recognized.

Will any other computer recognize it?

I was thinking those were somehow to develop a B+ for the tube ala Stax bias?

Oh I suspect you'll be taken care of.

I bought a bunch of both the small and med feet/cup combos and may offer a few to folks here if they want to try them too.

I'd add: A Fine Frenzy - Bomb In A Birdcage The Sounds - Crossing The Rubicon Imogen Heap - Ellipse Sarah Blasko - As Day Follows Night (which inexplicably has still not been released in the US ) Greg Laswell - Covers EP I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's what I've got for now.

Happy Birthday!

Congrats to you and your wife Haj! I had a sinking suspicion when you started the mad gear selloff a while back. If you have any q's about the new gear you'll be needing drop me a PM.

Did you somehow get the impression you were free to act like an idiot here? Shape up and that's your only warning.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
