  4. As long as I can continue to spill the blood of the innocent, I will be satisfied.
  5. I cant tell if thats a dig against me or if you are talking about yourself
  6. Theres a report on [H] that alot of people are experiencing cross-platform system locks. I hope it doesn't ruin the game; this is like 10,000 years in the making. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1301276
  7. Every once in a while I'd put on a rap song in my car, but really only to get the subwoofer going. But I'm now a believer in the 'cumulative damage' of loud music, so I tend to never go nuts with it anymore. As a result, I dont really listen to much rap at all. I much prefer electronic music as my 'bass music'.
  8. lol I didnt know you were a headcaser too
  9. A few details left out of another thread So in other words, he's just like everyone else I used to mow lawns as a side job to being a pharmacy clerk/cashier back in college, so technically I had my own company
  10. Basically you have nothing to lose buying one. Even just to try You could buy a used one and sell again for the same price
  11. One benefit of the wait is that I was able to sell my second Pico for 100% of the original price
  12. GTA IV for Xbox 360
  13. Pico DAC impressions. I've had the Pico for a few weeks now. I moved some stuff from my bedroom to my basement, and haven't migrated my Dac3 or Ear HP4 downstairs yet. I've been using my new-to-me B22 with Pico. So I haven't heard how the B22 mates with the Dac3, and only had the HP4 connected to a Pico for a few hours. Overall, I still really love the Dac3 the most, but the Pico gets fairly close. Its quite surprising, considering it is about 1/4th the cost, and probably 1/4th the size as well. However, both the Dac3 and HP4 have not been turned on for at least a week now. To my ears, the Dac3 has slightly better highs, cleaner midbass and slightly leaner bass with more tonality. But if I was back in college with a more limited income, I could easily live with the Pico alone. I had to make do with a Transit, then an Emu 0404USB in college.....those dark days are now behind me The one impression I have that has been most consistent with all of my Dac upgrades is the tendency towards a 'fun sound' in the bass, as the chief signature of all the affordable units. The Emu definitely goes for this sound, and at times makes it glaringly obvious. The Pico does a far, far better job, giving an impression of a more balanced and even sound, yet if you listen for it, you realize that it does have a healthy, robust bass sound. The Dac3 is where I hear the sound take a different direction, and is more balanced and linear still. Though I know the optical sounds a little more robust than the USB counterpart. But I've been using the computer as source almost entirely. I haven't used the optical since around the first month or two of owning the Bel Canto, simply because the USB is so convenient. I still cant believe how close the Pico Dac gets though. So those are my impressions. YMMV. Here is a pic I took when I received my Picos. I've sold one to help fund an SACD player (not yet purchased), but will definitely be keeping the 2nd.
  14. I have some unopened ones, but haven't shipped any to be needle dropped. Maybe there's no point
  15. That pussie's gettin' alot of finger action.
  16. That new tattoo...I actually kinda feel sorry for him now. \
  17. This is what I do. Good enough for me.
  18. If that 1-2-3 punch fails, then use the failsafe: Kill them softly
  19. They're using JoeRotate javascript, according to their code. I'm not really a coder, but you could try being one of "those guys" that disable javascript on your browser globally. Or look for a javascript hack. But if you stay logged in, you can just minimize all the stupid side windows they have and they remain in that state until you delete cookies. Its easy enough, that its too much hassle to seek out anything, imho.
  20. Office food/supplies: One E5 22-oz. Thermos 'Hydration Bottle' Two boxes of Kashi GOLEAN Protein & Fiber Bars Crunchy, Chocolate Peanut 1.76-Ounce bars (pack of 24) Two packs of Eclipse Sugar free Big-E Pak Gum, SpearMint I've never tried the Kashi before, but its time to cut back on the calories, and these should make good meal-replacements/supplements
  21. Circa 2006 Focal Utopia were highly desired in car audio. But not their tweeters. People hated them. I stopped reading about car audio since getting my car done, so I dont know if this is still the case. This was before any of the 'be' stuff came out.
