I am blown away by how white they are. "None more white."

I don't know how to contact scrypt other than through head-fi -- anyone know his email?

And here, I thought this was going to be about headphones.

Not if you work that into the contract. Or if you hire on an as-needed basis. Of course, that makes it harder to get quality help. Harder, but not impossible.

Yes.

Looks too sad. I want 'embarassed' without 'sad'.

No, I wasn't saying don't let him in, I was just criticizing the use of the word, 'enjoy'.

Um...not here, not there, not anywhere headphone related... Where's that blushy icon?

You have got to be kidding me. I hated reading his "pre-emptive whining".

Hey, I resemble that remark!

No I'm not. And I love pretzels -- ask Hirsch. It's the oblique references to pretzels in an otherwise meaningful statement that I detest. That's just elitist colloquialisming. No-one understands it, but it separates the people who pretend to understand it from those of us who refuse to pretend we understand something we don't, and as such is designed to separate into cliques and outcasts. I refuse to join the clique, that is all. And I'm not anal. It's anal-retentive.* Close enough. My analogy does not draw to closed systems so much, but the rest of the definition looks accurate enough. Think of it more from a universal perspective -- all motion can be categorized -- nee separated -- into directional and random. Entropy is the random part. When I say, "I refuse to contribute to the entropy", it's because I see motion towards anything but a stated goal as a problem. I do not wish to be a part of the problem. I am, but I try not to be. Also, the entropy in the universe is increasing. Eventually, all motion will be random, and life will cease to exist (actually, it will have ceased to existed long before entropy takes over). *That's a joke, son, laugh. See, I'm being anal-retentive about 'anal-retentive'...geddit? That's alright, you'll get used to my sense of humour...eventually...you may not like it, but you'll begin to recognize it.

I caught this off of Ryan's review -- when did this come out?

I would also add the KG SS electrostatic amp (as implemented by Justin), as I have heard that several times now and've been impressed. I have yet to hear an ES-1. I suspect I will be able to shortly after Hirsch receives his. If he lets me. I may have to bribe him. With pretzels.

How does entropy get rid of dead weight? Perhaps I should explain my entropy analogy...nah, you guys don't want to explain fuzziness or pretzelness, I won't explain entropy (although it is pretty self-explanatory if you know what entropy is).

(shrug) I told people to contact you, but I didn't tell them to tell you that I sent you, so perhaps you can ask some of those mystery people who invited them if they persist. I'm not going through the process of inviting those people again, because it was kind of a pain, but the people I invited so far are (eyeteeth, perhaps you can help me out -- I basically invited everyone from the freeboards board): Doc Sarvis, bunnyears, KR.../I forget his real name, he might join under another name, paulie, and psmith. And you already let Davey and eyeteeth in.

No, entropy does not mean pretzels. Pretzels > entropy. Entropy bad, pretzels good, kapische? Entropy == brownian motion. Brown == color of shit. Hence, ergo, entropy == bad.

We already have that it's called off-topic. And why would you want that? Why would anyone want to contribute to the entropy? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm the first person to post silliness, but there's the occasional silliness, and then there's entropy.

Yes, actually, it does work that way. I made the mistake of taking someone off my ignore list just to read one post by him (on a completely unrelated board), and couldn't put him back on.

I stand corrected.

Two questions: 1 - the resistor -- should we get the best one we can afford, or are they all the same? 2 - Is there an acceptable way to do this, besides looking it up in a manual or on the manufacturer's site or something? 2b - isn't this a function of frequency? This site rocks.

He also probably gets laid 2ce a day.

So far, for me, it's Ultraviolet -- most of y'all are going to hate it, but those who will admit to themselves that they enjoy watching a heroine kick some serious ass -- with guns, bullets and looks -- this is for you. Highly stylized looks (it appears that 29 out of every 30 frames have been airbrushed)...terrible CGI (I think Tron was better) -- but again, I think this was on purpose, since it's so consistent -- made to look like a comic book, perhaps?...total over-the-top violence (bullet-dodging)...Milla's naked butt...what's not to like? If you liked films like Equilibrium or Brotherhood of the Wolf, recommended.

Pretzels are like the second-worst food to eat while wearing headphones -- for that reason alone, we need an "other" option. I choose bananas. That said, of the two, the idea of the crisp sourdough coating and the saltine-y insides of a pretzel are much more appealing to me than deep-fried sugar. I'm not saying I wouldn't like the occasional churro -- but I could eat pretzels all day long.

Oh, okay. And: awesome!

No, that's Head-Fi. I wrote the meat popsicle comment, as well as the sourdough/deepfried comment.
