Superman! I just saw it and though it was something like 154 minutes I was pleasantly suprised. I thought it was great! Kevin Spacey and Brandon Routh both fit the parts perfectly imo. Did anyone else see it?

I purchased a sound card from a seller early last week and still haven't had any email answers, or recieved a shipping confirmation regarding the deal. I was wondering how long people usually wait to file a claim? Obviously the thing would still be in the mail, but I just fnd it odd the guy won't respond to an email confirming the deal. I saw he had 100% positive feedback, but was only a member since january, and had 41 feedbacks.Also saw he was selling generally cheaper stuff then what I bought. Any thoughts?

Fine writer. Read every one of his Culture novels and about 75% of his "serious" fiction. A great loss. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/jun/09/iain-banks-dies-59-cancer

A very good friend of mine, Jameson, is riding in Death Ride Tour in honor of a friend who is suffering from ALS. Below is a message I received from Jameson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello to all. This year, we are doing two fundraiser bike rides. Death Ride - a fundraiser for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and Tour de Cure - the same diabetes fundraiser that we always do. Why Death Ride? One of my best friends has ALS. He was one of the toughest guys I knew. Five years ago, we were doing mountain centuries, and didn't think much of it. Out of nowhere, he started complaining about cramping after long…

So... For all of the super comics guys/gals here I've been eagerly anticipating the DC Comics Blackest Night Event, me being a "casual" and rather new comics reader I went to my local shop and created a "box" to subscribe to the series. It's maybe 6ish issues in now (crossovers) and I wanted to see what everyone thinks so far. To be honest yesterday I said to myself, all of these issues so far are pretty weak albiet highly rated by the comics community. Pretty much every issue I've read centers around the fact that the dead are coming to life and pwning all life... Sounds exactly to me like Marvel Zombies But in all seriousness, I'm TO'd that this is ALL that…

I just noticed this. As I am a keyboard shortcut kinda guy, I always take full advantage of the "alt + S" to submit a post. In FF2, however, this is now the shortcut for the History menu. Is it just me that this is going to affect? Let us rise up, and make FF2 fix the woeful problem, so I don't have to use my bloody mouse... or use another 2 key combination such as "Tab/Space or Tab/Enter"... tis just not the same. **BRENT**

I have to ship a Linksys "Music Bridge" to a friend in Denmark (from the US). Can somebody please suggest a reasonable shipping method? I'd like to get it there fairly quickly but at a reasonable price. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

So far, for me, it's Ultraviolet -- most of y'all are going to hate it, but those who will admit to themselves that they enjoy watching a heroine kick some serious ass -- with guns, bullets and looks -- this is for you. Highly stylized looks (it appears that 29 out of every 30 frames have been airbrushed)...terrible CGI (I think Tron was better) -- but again, I think this was on purpose, since it's so consistent -- made to look like a comic book, perhaps?...total over-the-top violence (bullet-dodging)...Milla's naked butt...what's not to like? If you liked films like Equilibrium or Brotherhood of the Wolf, recommended.

Google featured a Pac Man 30th Anniversary icon game theme that is playable with your directional keys. Nice sound effects and music. Here is a video.. Pretty cool.

Tomorrow is the day.

I usually only bid on eBay items with PayPal payment allowed, but I was careless this time and bought some tubes from a seller who doesn't accept PayPal. I would appreciate someone in the US paying the seller on my behalf, with a money order or personal check. The amount due is US$106. I will pay you back by PayPal plus a "fee" for your trouble. Send me a PM if you are willing to help. EDIT: Someone has offered to help, thanks

What happened to Kirosia, someone at HF banned him.

I thought I would post this little story. Enjoy... Caver Ted

Hi! Some of you might already know that I started a small headphone related wiki a few years back. It is coming along nicely, but I only know so much and only have a little time to update it with info. A lot of folks joined and contributed a ton of information, but more is always better. This is basically my Modus Operandi: I am not sure how many of you want to contribute or even know about it, but if you do please join and help us all out. Sorry for posting it this here but I was hoping this might be of interest to some of you.

Happy Birthday audiosceptic. With a moniker like that, you need all the encouragement you can get.....

I need a dvd,mpg, or something i can make a dvd out of that is a 10 minute or more clip of just an eyeball moving and blinking. For those who have been to ABT, they have something like this in the receiving department. That sort of thing. Any ideas?? I'll show whats up once i get something...

Article suggesting that it is the artifacts we are familiar with, that we like.. I remember wondering what audiophiles were up to, buying extremely expensive home audio systems to play old vinyl records. They put turntables in sand-filled enclosures with elaborate cabling schemes. I wondered what they heard in that music that I didn't. Someone explained to me that audiophiles liked the sound artifacts of vinyl records -- the crackles of that format. It was familiar and comfortable to them, and maybe those affects became a fetish. Is it now becoming the same with iPod lovers? The Sizzling Sound of Music - O'Reilly Radar

In case you guys missed it, here's an interesting interview/breakdown of the case. Video is priceless.

For a couple weeks, it looks like. Which shows how closely (or not) I pay attention.

Too bad about his passing yesterday. I can't believe his wife, which he was in divorce proceedings with, actually tried to tell the judge that he wasn't as sick as he was making out to be. If you saw him on Hollywood Blvd., you could see he was pretty frail. RIP Dennis.
