The Monkey

All I remember is the look of utter confusion on the Beyer rep's face when Colin asked that question at an NYC meet.

So for instance, here are the specs for the Luxman P1-u. What am I looking at for output impedance? EDIT: Sorry, that didn't paste in the way I'd hoped. Here's the linky. Continuous power output 2W+2W (8Ω)/1W+1W (16Ω) / 500mW+500mW (32Ω) / 27mW+27mW (600Ω) Input sensitivity/ input impedance Unbalanced 1.0 V/26 kΩ, balanced 1.0 V/67 kΩ Total harmonic distortion rate 0.0025% (1kHz) 0.02% (20Hz–20kHz) Digital output 1 coaxial line, 1 optical line (TOS-LINK) S/N ratio 115dB Power consumption 19W (Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law) , 9W (under no signal) Outside dimensions 400 (W) x 82 (H) x 408 (D) mm (terminals and knobs included) Weight 8.3Kg

Is output impedance something that is usually disclosed in the specs? And if not, how does one measure it?

Is OS X Server something that is useful in a home environment?

If correct, can someone explain to me why this is so?

paypal sent. Thanks Justin.

Played baseball in the backyard with the Little Monkey today. Had him shagging flies and even pitching to me, which he can actually do now. It feels good to whack a tennis ball about a half mile into the woods. Even if the ball is being grooved in by a 6-year-old. I am amazed at his progress. He can hit, throw, and catch much better than all but one of his friends. He's a determined little guy. Having a son is good.

I am not a fan of Monoprice's build quality. Signal Cable is nice and I also happen to like the lowest end Audioquest (esp. if on sale). I'm talking only about build quality and ergonomics here. They all sound the same to me. EDIT: BlueJeans has been good too.

I've never been a fan of multiple users on one computer. I suppose I don't like to share.

Sad monkey is sad. I don't like it when friends move away.

How are you finding the scrolling on the rMBP? I thought it was a lovely machine, but I did notice some scrolling hiccups (not always as smooth as it should be), which I had also read about. The demo unit was under-powered in terms of RAM so I think you definitely did the right thing. But some of this obviously has to do with the video card.

I agree with and approve of his post.

Nope. But others seem to be having problems, too. Call Apple and tell them to get their shit together.

Not true, actually. Apps like Print n Share and HP eprint will do it, but it's clunky and not fun. You basically have to print your stuff from within the print app itself, which is annoying. So it can be done, but it isn't as simple as it should be an certainly not as easy as Airprint. Gas Face Apple for making this shit harder than it should be.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but what's the best app for printing to a networked printer from an iPad? Assume a non-Airplay enabled printer. Also not a wireless network printer, it is hanging off an Airport Extreme's ethernet port. EDIT: Also, I don't want to have a Mac on in order to print, so I think something like Printopia is out.

Yes, but... "At a media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, this month, Apple's current CEO, Tim Cook, ducked aside with Messrs. Dorsey and Costolo, according to journalists who saw them, fueling buzz among investors that the companies appeared particularly cozy." They later were seen at an orgy.

Now they want to buy a piece of Twitter.

I want these.

Happy Birthday!

Sometimes I think Apple has never really understood the internets.

Agree. Lots of refinements and little goodies. I like refinements and little goodies.

Yeah, I'm a maybe. But I'm going to rent a bike this weekend to see if I still know how to ride.
