Oh dear, don't annoy the nerds, it only makes them mad .. http://people.xiph.o...neil-young.html Articles last month revealed that musician Neil Young and Apple's Steve Jobs discussed offering digital music downloads of 'uncompromised studio quality'. Much of the press and user commentary was particularly enthusiastic about the prospect of uncompressed 24 bit 192kHz downloads. 24/192 featured prominently in my own conversations with Mr. Young's group several months ago. Unfortunately, there is no point to distributing music in 24-bit/192kHz format. Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space. There are a few re…

Thinking about getting an upright vacuum to use on the carpets. Right now I have a canister vacuum (cheapest Miele) and it is a real pain to use (I hate pulling around the canister... it keeps getting stuck. Also the vacuum has a very small head and it is really meant for hardwood floor/rugs). I was thinking of getting the Miele Jazz but I then reading up on vacuums, Sebo vacuums seem to be better. Anyone used a Sebo vacuum before? Where would I buy one? Needs to have: HEPA filter, uses bags (not bagless) and it would be nice if it were easy to find the bags locally, upright, lots of suction.

Have a fantastic Birthday Santa!

Hope it was a great not yet 50 Rob.

Have a great day spinning vinyl in your birthday suit! Cheers!

Have a wonderful day!

Sally Ride, first US woman in space, dead at 61. An inspiration to both boys and girls, and something I did not know until today, she was an out lesbian. Condolences to her family and partner. And as stated on other sites, astronauts are badass. Female astronauts even more so. Godspeed Sally.

Kind of late in the day, but hope it was/is a great day!

Have a great day!

Do something fun today, like checking your roof slates on the third floor roof.😋 Have a great day Doug!

Any other head-casers going to CES? I will be there from the 9th-12th. Figure we could all meet up at the Barely Legal booth at the AVN convention

I've read you're starting the day very very nicely, so keep it that way

Happy birthday, Scott! Hope you have fun.

Have a Great Birthday!

Hope it's a great day, Larry. A nice watch to start!

Have a great day, which means, stay off bikes, skateboards, rollerblades/skates, unicycles and shoes with tall heals!

I wish you a very happy birthday

Happy Birthday to you! Hope it's a good one.

Why are there not three threads already honoring this man's birthday? Happy birthday to Gene! Party in Tampa!

http://usnews.msnbc....ers-santa-shoot Is this what wayne needs to add some "heat" to his set-up? Better not be naughty.

Not sure if you still drop in, but a very Happy Birthday!

I couldn't find anywhere specific to brag about my awesome girlfriend who played Santa this year. I received a big kiss and a littman stethoscope. It was the best present ever and extremely thoughtful. I feel guilty accepting it as i know it cost her a small fortune and I'm not sure I'm worthy of such a nice instrument. Anyhow, I've been playing with it all evening and it is so much fun. What did Santa bring you this year (if you already know)?

Have a great birthday Tom!! Don't forget to take some time off and enjoy your recently revamped speaker system.
