  1. Pico is a great choice, but for $350 there are many vintage options also in the $250-300 range and you could solve the USB to toslink/coax connection with the remaining $50/100. As long as space isn't a concern.
  2. Has anyone ever sold any 24 bit/44.1 Khz files before? Could have at least spiced up the apple...
  3. Not sure when the naked disappeared. And Al gives full meaning to "soap box." Looks like there's a movie. Fave quote - "Missiles are absolutely anti-social."
  4. I guess there used to be 19 uses.
  5. I like saying that three times fast. I may be very late to the game and this all common knowledge (from web search it certainly appears it's big with the hippies), but anyone else here try Castile soaps (buying or making - making)? A friend bought a bunch in prep for a camping trip (those 18-in-1 uses - body, shampoo, tooth-paste, aphrodisiac, bug repellant, etc.), so I gave it a try and man, if it's possible to be excited about liquid soap (it is!), this is it. Besides the strange pick-me-up (nose, skin and other sensations - easily conteracting the rum from the night before), with Dr. Bronners you're also entertained by the most unusual label I've seen in some time on a consumer product. "More good is caused by evil than good. Enlarge the positive!" "Each swallow works hard to be perfect pilot-provider-builder-trainer-teacher-lover-mate, no half-truth hate!" "Americanism is the knowledge of, the loyalty inspiration or attachment to the Army of Principles of All-One-God-Faith." And there's more wisdom as seen below... Anyway, if the label makes me feel a bit dirty, the soap does the opposite. I swear showers are more fun in the morning. So anyone else have experience with Castile?
  6. If anyone has a few iPhones around...
  7. Lambda Pros and SRM-1/MK II has gone for ~$500 many times.
  8. Great costumes. Was there blood under the wrist bands? I got close with creepy/crawlies by climbing under a friends house to start her furnace, listend to a debate on fast versus slow zombies on NPR, feel asleep early and woke up in the middle of the night and watched the below* (click to launch larger viewer) on my iPhone. Far from a crazy holiday this year. *The Omega Man/I am Legend story.

  22. Gotta beg to differ. Defined (though even general ones like this has its uses) hierarchies are only an issue if you place too much emphasis at the top. Using examples already given, ranking Shakespeare above Chekhov isn't remotely an insult to Chekhov, an encouragement to avoid him, nor inclusive of all related non-defined traits or differences (not to mention relationships are likely a key of the digestion of both authors by most readers). From the vast amount of time my 30-40 year old co-workers spend reading comics (sorry guzzi ), I'd say we need more lists! Stretching it, I have the same problem when people start ranting about film criticism, which seems to be the trend lately. We have limited time on planet Earth, hierarchical lists, reviews, etc. open up experiences through focus. At least in theory. Worry less about hypothetical exclusions and more about accurate, defensible inclusions. I suppose easy additions would be "Homer" and the Kalevala author(s) (or does oral traditions blow the pen requirement). And does Shakespeare have to exist? Also don't think can ignore Oprah, who likely still thinks Frey is the swellest.
