  2. For the nostalgic amongst you, you can go on the colossal cave adventure HERE
  3. Do they do Pantone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia colo(u)rs? e.g. pick one from Source PANTONE Colour Chart
  4. It does more than play lossy mp3's, it now plays lossless flac's out of the box. Here's a review of the Original SanDisk Sansa Clip Review And one for the new plus. SanDisk Sansa Clip+ Plus Review Ask Iron Dreamer how good a source it is for the JH-13's I like both mine (albeit with lowly ER-4P's). Being able to Drag N Drop files from a foobar / squeezecenter library onto a USB mounted device is nice'n'easy. The MicroSD card fits into a SDHC converter, meaning the music files can go straight into the SDHC slot on my mini9. SQ (with decent source material) is surprisingly good. For someone not in the iFamily, there is a lot to like.
  5. Looks like you guys are having a blast. I shall raise my next Diet Coke, or Iced Mocha (No Whip) in your hono(u)r. In the meantime I will make do with what a dry, warm, sunny Seattle has to offer.
  6. With visions of Stacia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dancing in your head?
  7. ^^ Sporty Spice, eh? Nudge, Nudge, ;) Say no more. Classic Bedtime Pop, fnar fnar.
  8. Possibly No doubt they sound better than they look
  9. Ed, It appears I made some unwarranted assumptions. You, however, appear to have thought it through. How fire resistant is that cat6e again?
  10. Do I need to remind you Let me google that for you e.g. Why RAID is NOT Backup | I Love Bonnie.net How important is uptime to you? How valuable is your data? what is your disaster recovery plan?

    Yet more emoticons, technobear's emoticon page Maybe some would be appropriate for here? maybe not? anybody?
  12. Somewhat overpriced considering Mackie Original HR824 High Resolution Active Studio Monitors (Pair)
  13. Thanks for the recommendations guys. Keep 'em coming.
  14. Joanne wanted to see Vancouver, so that's what we are going do next week. Thanks to the internet (esp. Hotwire.com: Discount airfare, hotel reservations, car rentals, vacation packages and cruises) , we've arranged transport and accommodation downtown at all the above locations 5 nights Vancouver, 2 Nights Victoria, 3 Nights Seattle, in that order (with coach / ferry Vancouver to Victoria, Victoria clipper to Seattle) We plan on mostly walking / using public/mass transit, but we might rent a car for one for one day to visit whistler, depending on the weather while we are there. As ever, Chowhound Boards - Chowhound, have come up with lots of recommendations for decent places to eat, without paying over the odds. The guide books have come up with the usual suspects for playing tourist. I wonder if the local residents, or previous visitors have any recommendations for sights/eats/drinks that we might not otherwise be aware of, or should not be missed. Thanks, Grahame & Joanne
  15. Yeah, but where's the fun in a proven good solution that "just works" If you want to future proof, and pamper your bits, you could always spec. Category 6 cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  16. Aren't these people near you? J&R: Electronics, Digital Cameras, Computers, Appliances, Software, Video Games, DVDs, CDs .
  17. Yes it is. But its role is the capturing/differencing, rather than the output generated from the mac. This would only be an issue, if you don't have access to a windows based system or a VM to run windows in.
  18. Better yet, run Audio DiffMaker and let us know the results
  19. You can use a nokia 770 (or 800, or 810 or the upcoming n900) with the 770 skin, or an iPhone, or iTouch using the iPeng skin or [url=http://penguinlovesmusic.de/ipeng-the-iphone-webapp-for-squeezecenter/]iPeng
  20. How would you justify your assumptions? If you can do that, then you have your answer. It has been argued that extracting clock and data from the same signal (as in the case of S/PDIF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is inherently flawed). Variations in the recovered clock being jitter. Jitter being audible above some threshold would imply that lower jitter is better. Word clock gets round this by supplying (a hopefully low jitter) clock, turning the issue into how do you populate a buffer that the word clock can clock data out of (hint: you'd want a bidirectional async protocol with error correction and retransmission as opposed to a synchronous forward only protocol ) This only solves the getting the right bits at the right time to the inputs of the DAC. Other people have argued that the quality and the design of the the analogue output stage connected to the output of the DAC (both onboard the DAC, and downstream) is a far bigger determinant of final audio quality. Computer audio can be tricky, as there are many ways that the software pathways can muck up the bits before the DAC even gets to see them e.g. Digital volume controls, re-sampling etc It constantly surprises me that we don't have a digital audio standard that is a "solved problem" rather than one that is based on a broken protocol. But then, how would you sell upgrades?

    Lego - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An Onymous Lefty: Lego bricks vs "legos" The company is still completely right, though: calling the bricks "legos" makes you sound like a total fuckwit. fischertechnik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia FTW

    PhotoshopDisasters: Samsung: XXL-CD Notes to Eddie before posting: Check people in India are not all dwarfs Have CDs gotten bigger? Maybe this is like a CD LP? or a CD 78? Is it unreasonable to expect people who make CDs to know how big they are? They seem so happy
