Anyone have experience purchasing a Montecristi / Panama straw hat? I am not quite willing to go to an Optimo or Brent Black level, so looking for a good value in the lower tiers...

What happened to Kirosia, someone at HF banned him.

I'm going there this fall for U of C's MA program, and I'm just wondering if anyone here knows anything about the neighborhood, like where it's good to eat/drink, which areas to avoid. Really, any knowledge is appreciated.

Have the best day!

And if possible, just post the statement and no discussion. So, lets roll........

You know, sometimes their descriptions are just plain daft, but I particularly enjoyed this one. I mean, instead of getting all technical, they just took what was going to be the definitive misinterpretation of things, and embraced it.

It's a "hippier" version of what I've aimed to create here. Howard Rheingold is one of the great visionaries of online community, and he gives an interesting, short interview about the well. It's now for sale, but I imagine it will end up disappearing, and that will be a sad day.

Well, I guess there won't be a real reunion of the Floyd. Rest in peace dude. NME Article

I've decided after reading the "i guess i listen really loud" thread that I'd temporarily donate my sound level meter to who ever wants to use it. That way anyone that wants to determine safe listening levels can do just that. You won't have to worry any more if you're destroying your hearing. Here is what I propose. I'll ship it to the the first person that wants it. After they're done they'll ship it to the next person on the list, so on and so forth until it gets shipped back to me in the end. This is presuming that anybody is interested.

I want to get a Nikon d90 body and most places offer it at around 900 dollars but there are a couple of places that offer it for about 550. Are those places safe to order from? They don't seem overtly sketchy but I rarely order things outside of amazon.

Have a work related question... We have a PC that streams videos from sources like Bloomberg and MSN... The issue is the videos all have varying volume levels. Are there any software or hardware options to normalize volume on the fly? We are using stereo analog audio outputs.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | The golden age of infinite music Interesting article, pondering on the change from a situation of Artificial scarcity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to a completely infinite online jukebox, where the limiting resource is no longer your money (or lack of it), but your time. Given that you could listen to "anything ever recorded", what would drive your selection process? Familiarity? peer pressure? marketing? social networking?, statistical patterns?
