No, it smells wrong, I'm throwing it out. Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis, Mr. Bottom Feeder Eater?

Pad Thai takeout at home -- hey, my bottle of fish sauce has a cracked top -- still good, or throw out?

Apple like to keep everything in house -- eliminates 3rd party fuckups. I don't agree with such a limiting business model, but I understand that it's theirs. And I totally get the 3rd party fuckups part. Not meaning CJ, meaning 3rd party companies that manufacture software, etc. It eliminates variables outside their control, and makes the market much easier to predict.

And what crime are you contemplating that you'd need to be thinking about these things?

It's not an upgrade, the upgrade is free (it says so right on that page), that's the entire OS.* But yes I see now that the EULA dictates that the OS be put on their hardware. *I know this because exactly this situation came up at a previous company. We had the older PowerPC-based Mac Pro that would only run Leopard of the non-Snow variety but the disk was dead and everything was lost and it cost us a new hard drive and $100 (at the time, now $20) to get a new OS. Having the hardware didn't get us shit.

What? No they don't. It's packaged, just like Windows is with Intel hardware, it just happens to be the same company this time. $20

Kickstarter benefits from even fraudulent projects

Ah, okay, the whole "hackintosh" aspect of it.

Wait, what? I thought he legally owned OSX.

Noice!

Robert Reed, Sanctuary -- more Oldfield than Oldfield!

We do not condone cruelty to snapping turtles, that was probably just sarcasm. Probably. Maybe. Probably not, really, actually now that I think about it, but don't do it.

Yeah, it's kind of like playing the walk-on music for a band and saying, this is what the next album is going to sound like, isn't it? But here's to hoping that there's more of that spacey-ness where that came from. Cheers to all the bokeh.

Agreed. Dan's looks good, too.

New Lunatic Soul due October

Scott Walker and Sunn O))) to collaborate

Had to move the 1920x1200 to the work laptop, so I pulled out the LG 2560x1080 for the personal laptop -- this thing is nice! It's the little little brother of the "I'm done with 4K" ultrawide monitor (the regular little brother is the 34UM65, which is 2560x1080 @ 34", whereas mine is 2560x1080 @ 29"), the pixel pitch must be pretty damn high. I'll definitely be lusting after the 34UM65 for a while. ...with a caveat -- laptops usually only have one of certain ports (HDMI, DisplayPort), so maybe for a laptop "extension" screen -- one big one. Unless one very carefully selects one with a very capable docking station.

I was never very involved in the DIY segment, but I remember the names of the amps you mentioned, and how popular they were. And I certainly take your and Nate's words for it. Sorry for the threadcrap. Regarding memory -- dude, I'm lucky if I can remember what day of the week it is any more, much less my own name.
