I found the following website with some interesting statistical analysis on football. Here's a post on the "risky" calls (onside kick, etc) made by Sean Payton yesterday:

Unfortunately, I think Paypal charges the same ~3% fee for instant transfers. Here are the new fee rules:

This is assuming that the payment was considered a "purchase," but I think it has to be if Price Japan doesn't want to get into trouble with Paypal.

2TB USB+eSATA external drive for $139.99 after $50 instant Paypal rebate and $20 mail in rebate.
Buy.com's rating hasn't been very good these days though:

I bought Andrew's HF2. He left his sick kids at home and shoveled snow on the way to the post office in order to ship it to me.
I would not hesitate to deal with him again.

Am I seeing things wrong, or did they also completely pull out the wool inside the housings?
That's what it says under that picture.

6:19 A.M. OUT FOR DELIVERY
8:06 P.M. THE PACKAGE WAS MISSED AT THE UPS FACILITY, UPS WILL DELIVER ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY
Not a big deal really, but I wonder how a package can be out for delivery and missed at the UPS facility at the same time.
They probably thought that your package was on the truck that was out for delivery, but they actually missed it when they loaded the truck.

I can't think of a way to physically wear more clothes when outside, yet still feel so very, very cold. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.......?
Maybe you can try these heated boots:

Using sensitive headphones like Grados, my SQ-84 hums/buzzes maybe 70% of the time at home. I tried using the amp at work, and there's no hum/buzz at all. So now I have a 30-pound tube amp sitting on my office desk.
I guess dirty power is probably the cause of the problem at home. The power choke is close to one of the output transformers, which is probably why I only get the hum/buzz in one channel.

Would cryoed light bulbs have a similar effect?

IIRC, some people have tried marking regular PCM1704 chips as the K grade ones.

I stand corrected I was guessing that USB2.0 was enough but I really was guessing
I would never run it at 384 though. I run 24/96 and that's it. If it's good enough for Lavry it's good enough for me.
I'm pretty sure USB 2.0 has enough bandwidth for 384.
There's also the USB audio standard. I'm not sure if the class 2.0 version of this supports 384, but you don't have to use it if you write your own driver.

I just ordered one. I wanted to resist it but I just couldn't!
It was also the dealer's last unit before they have to order more that'll arrive in a few weeks. A sign? It'll be here as soon as tomorrow even.Dibs!
It looks like the warranty on the QB-9 is not transferable, so I'm tempted to just buy a new one once I have enough money saved up.

Hmmm, I was under the impression the USB port was to allow for use with external HD's, maybe it can serve as an output too? I've certainly done less research than you though.
If there's an USB host controller for the external HDs, supporting external USB DACs should be relatively simple.

If the LCD-2 sounds better than the LCD-1, then I think the price is pretty reasonable. I don't have a pair of LCD-1, but I think the upgrade program is fair unless they gave the impression that it was going to be better.
They should try to improve the cable and the headband though.
this is probably not common knowledge but the stock cable on the lcd1 does not use the shield as a shield. The 2 signal wires are tied together as the positive and the shield is used as a ground signal. The cable itself is heavy, although flexible, it retains some of its prior shape and even in my short use, managed to continually twist upon itself - so agreed on all fronts, the original cable is a serious faux pas ..dBFor interconnects this might be OK, but for headphone cables....

That guy also wrote a post about Wikiphonia.

You can actually buy square, hexagonal, and octagonal "drill bits." They are not really just simple drill bits, but you can drill square holes with slightly rounded corners using these things.
Here's some information about how they work:

I don't think it's a regular USB DAC that connects to a computer.
According to the description, you plug USB memory sticks into the USB ports. The DAC then reads and plays the music files stored on the memory stick.

I have an uncle that plays violin for Cincinnati Pops.
It was also the dealer's last unit before they have to order more that'll arrive in a few weeks. A sign? It'll be here as soon as tomorrow even.

Thanks a lot everyone! Kind of surprised to see this since I haven't been very active in the forums.
It's just another day at work for me, but my mom will be cooking her sesame oil chicken tonight.
Something similar to this (but with less oil, no salt, and no noodles):
