Airfare from Dublin to Boston. I hate booking last minute tickets, but I really need this bloody time off Ah well it wasn't too bad. 346 Euro round trip with only a three day notice. And I do get to spend St Pattys in Boston.

As much as I want the Deluxe super limited (and it will probably only appreciate as time goes on) I think I'm going to opt for the 2 CD digipack.

Jebus this came out of no where.

Happy birthday Nate

Good times, N64 was good stuff

Same here. A casual acquaintance was pseudo-training for it. I'm guessing he will do it at some point.

Just curious if anyone has put serious thought into it.

Oh ok didn't realize it was your ex. Is this the girl doing homeopathic voodoo? You're paying for it in your taxes. Either way someone wins, someone loses.

In general (these are very big generalizations) from what I've seen Americans are more for country and self and Europeans (especially Norwegians and French) are more progressive thinking about their health care systems. But their socialized health care has been around for a long time so it's not such a stretch. In it's current state I think the US health care system would collapse if even attempted to go universal or full social security.

Obgyn is still competitive. You won't be raking it in like the good old days, but if you go specialize in infertility you can still make a million a year.

I agree to both statements. Personally (I think) I would forgo the convenience of a NAS and just do manual backups myself. My biggest worry about the Netgear NAS is the quality of the power supply used.

If you want a webstore to find the stuff Aquarius Records is decent: http://aquariusrecords.org/ /AQ fanboy

Yeah I've been thinking about picking one up and adding my own drives. On the other hand 2x 1 TB drives is a lot cheaper and the other one would be used for backup. And I don't think RAID is the best solution if your data is of critical importance.

Some great arguments in this thread, and I have to side with Mike on this one, the war is pointless. Maybe I feel more strongly on this because a few of my friends have had to do ROTC through their college since they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it and I've heard from them first hand about Iraq (and one of the partners in my dad's old practice went to med school through the army and thus serves two weeks every year which he dreads). I don't particularly care if my reasoning is sound or unsound, but it's a damn shame when people in their twenties are dieing for a cause they don't believe in. Sorry to hear about that David. And sorry about mentioning Liebman Sachs in that other thread, I can see how that came off as brisk \

Here is some info on the Infrant ReadyNAS+ [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=4sD3BjhOjq8]YouTube - JESUITS - gadget @ TTS -Ep3- Infrant ReadyNAS NV+[/ame] It really is that good (but expensive), my friend's dad has one in their house and it gets accessed by 5+ computers at any given time. It's now sold with the Netgear brand name.

Not tough to find when you go to India every three years Indian classical is good stuff, great live. Though those videos are more contemporary, IMO the older classics are better.

Merged the remaining posts from "Slow Forum" to the political discussion thread.

DEEPAK FOR SURGEON GENERAL

Hope I have some free time to start this.

b& edit: you're off the hook for listening to sunn o)))

:'(

A budget DAC. Will post more about it when it arrives

Nice Haj, the 2100 looks sweet. I'd definitely like to hear how those vintage transformers sound.

Here's a dumb question is he able to play videos on his computer without crashing (videos on his hardrive)? Just making sure it's not a problem with his computer (saving you a lot of grief, allowing you to focus on his computer).

There are a lot of factors that dictate torrent download speed. Like on a public tracker you could have a 10:1 seed:leech ratio and only be getting 100 k/s because the seeders are all uploading at a very low rate. Then you could go on a private tracker and the S:L ratio is 10:5 and be getting 1 MB/s because the majority of seeders are seeding from 100 mbit servers. This is because your client is slowly connecting to more seeders. I don't know about utorrent but in Azureus you can see the number of seeds you are connected to. This will depend on your ISP and if they throttle torrent data at "peak hours" to free up their network. Otherwise for most of the good ISPs it won't matter. I generally get the best speeds at night because I'm guessing most of the seeders increase their upload speed since they won't be using their connection. This is very important: to get the fastest speeds you want to make yourself connectible. This means opening up ports for Bit Torrent in your router. Here is a good website to help with that: http://portforward.com/routers.htm
