Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44. The guy was over the top but man, I enjoyed his enthusiasm! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060904/ap_on_en_tv/obit_irwin

Hey everybody, I'm looking for an invite to Pedro's BTmusic tracker, which has a great amount of music, I think mostly in lossless; a friend told me that it was maybe one of the best trackers for music... I had an account on Oink but since it's dead I can't really find rare music in good quality. I'm a music addict, and I really want to join that BTmusic... so could anyone invite me on that tracker? Thanks, Tim PS: I'm french, so sorry if you don't understand anything...!

Does anyone here have a fancy robot that goes around doing the boring dirty work, cleaning all the vacuum at home? I was thinking perhaps the Roomba could work... but I'm not sure if it's the Stax of vacuum cleaners, or if it's more like the Bose of floor sweeping robots. Do you have a robot floor sweeper at home? Is it good?

Oh, dear. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-20029913-47.html via: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=607150 My take. The information content of losslessly compressed file and the original is identical. Try comparing the md5 hash of the source, and the expanded compressed file, or do a bitwise diff to see if that is the case. (Poor analogy: a word file reads the same, if came as a .doc file or contained in a .zip file) I think he's confusing the data container with the playback system, or succumbing to expectation bias: So while lossless audio compression (FLAC or Apple Lossless for example) can be "expanded" to produce an exact digital…

Happy Birthday Ryan!! Enjoy the day my friend. (from the look of that beer list you will)

Have a great one Mike

Hello All I thought it would be fun to take the Polar Bear swim at Coney Island this year. Its been on my bucket list for a while. They are raising money for Camp Sunshine - a camp for Children with life-threatening illnesses and their families and I would appreciate it if anyone could donate some money to them through my page. https://www.crowdrise.com/AriFriedman I don't think I have told you this, but I went to camp every summer from when I was 6 weeks old (my father was the camp director) until I was 20, doing everything from filling diapers, to being a camper, working in the kitchen, being a counselor, and working on the high-ropes course. All of it wa…

Have a great birthday! I hope you spend it listening to the beautiful music.

Have an incredible day!

I'd like to invite her here , but I don't know where I put her number last time I called her ..

OK, here's the deal : Back in december 2007, I bought an Oliver Powerflex 502 bass amp + cabinet for $1000. The seller, say Mr. X, wanted me to pay with a money order, which was sent to say, Mrs Y. I also asked him to take the unit to Mr. Jess Oliver, who lives near Brooklyn, for a repair job. He did and I thought that Mr. Oliver would take care of shipping but instead of that, Mr. Oliver asked Mr. X to pay for the repairs, which he did and then asked me to pay him back, also with a money order. I sent to Mrs. Y $750 to pay for repair + shipping + storage time. When she/he received the second money order, Mr. X asked me for my home address to ship it, along with a vint…

I can see myself looking back fondly at this post and wondering, " Could this be when it all went wrong?","When the wheels came off the cart?", "When I mislaid the 52nd card, loosened that screw, dropped that oar,.." What a wonderful memory that will be. Well, many of you already know me from NorCal meets as that whacko with the reel to reel and after spending a car ride at the end of CanJam 2009 with Jacob (what a charming and unassuming fellow) I just had to register and add my thoughtless and unimformed 2

Not sure if I've ever started a thread in here, but I just had to for this: Headphones With Swagger (and Lots of Bass) I spoke with Andrew Martin of the Times for about a half hour. He was quite interested in what I had to say, and was well aware of questions like, "If Dre adjusted the EQ in the studio, why would he adjust it again in the headphones?" I'll save you the digging, here's what he decided to quote from me" “In terms of sound performance, they are among the worst you can buy,” says Tyll Hertsens, editor in chief of InnerFidelity.com, a site for audiophiles. “They are absolutely, extraordinarily bad.” I was talking about the Solo.

Happy Birthday to one of my original Headphone friends. If you are thinking of giving me anything for your birthday, I would settle for that Krell HP Amp. Thanks.

Have an incredible day!

Have a great one bro! Cheers!
