The trick with sinus infections (I get them all the time), is to keep it clear. Not just through meds like Sudafed and Afrin, but just plain blasting the congestion out with something like Simply Saline. But of coure, it's a double-edged sword -- you don't want to blast the insides of your sinuses so bad that they become inflamed -- that's counterproductive. Be gentle.

According to Wiki, ALAC was rendered open-source in late 2011 (a year ago), so they may be basing their decision on old information.

What type of phone do you have, Dinny? LMGTFY My phone is old enough that I can only tether via USB, but I have a friend who can tether wirelessly. You don't even need an app -- it's right in settings.

Also, they are by no means restricted to whatever they deliver, as they can always fix it in a software update, if someone can convince them to grawk's way of thinking.

Sammich. One of the daily specials from downstairs -- included hummus and guacamole/avacado. Boy was that sloppy.

Open Source still has requirements when using for commercial use, which is what this is.

I love that peeping cat .gif.

Yeah, that was my assumption -- that it didn't. I mean, they had to change the connector just for USB 3.0...

I really need to do my own cooking. But I'm hungry now -- Denny's, or Ihop?

That sounds like a killer combination.

Which segues into the question (I am going to try to find a phrase to replace "begs the question" every time I am tempted to use it, until I find one I like) -- what connector(s) are they using/going to use for 4k? I thought I saw the Sony was wireless...

Naan and sourdough?

Seriously. And I have a friend who contracted Lyme disease earlier in the year. I haven't seen any ticks, but they're always mentioned in the same breath as fleas, so have become totally paranoid.

February! I might even have some leave by then!

Musical Fidelity A3^CR + RCA->headphone adapter Also, ditch the HD800 if you like a warm sound. Go to HD650 at least. Someone else please feel free to step in here and correct me if I'm not remembering things correctly, as it's been years since I heard it, but HD800 is more in the "clinical" and "dry" end of the spectrum.

Thanks for the advice on mint and aloe, guys. I was talking with my ex, Julie, and I was asking her if there was such a thing as Frontline for humans, and she said, "it's called bug repellant". So I'm going to try some aloe and/or mint to see what I can repel. My cats will probably want to lick me if I have mint on, though, so I'm not sure that's better (other than the lack of fear of Lyme disease -- which is a big plus), so will probably try the aloe first. PS I love trains. I think it's really cool that you can go to completely different countries in Europe by trains, and have always wanted to do so.

Not bad, considering I pay for it myself and not an .edu, and it's $60/month with basic cable TV. Also: Woodbridge.

Probably not enough people were using eSata to justify keeping it in.

"When you came in the air went out..." "Bad Things", Jace Everett Yes, I've been watching True Blood. But I find myself returning to those opening lyrics, and when I try to recreate them in my head, I try to squeeze the word "room" in there somewhere, but ... IT'S NOT THERE...

Yeah, but I didn't see an HDCD logo...

The office itself is pretty safe...other than everyone else on the team has access to it. So even asking would require me to admit I don't trust everyone. But yeah, I'm tempted to ask after a locker or something, under the pretense of the monitor, as it would be perfectly normal for a geeky individual like me not to want anyone else using their monitor. They already had an argument right in front of me about one of them having a new enough laptop that Fred (making up the name just in case anyone sees this) hadn't gotten his fingerprints all over it yet, at which point Fred made a point to point at something on the screen. I do get my own office once I move back to Merrifield, but that's a few weeks/months away. And very very many late nights, working. I think the Cube will have to do for now. Cubes if I get them both working at the same time.

Yup, Windows, too. I was trying to revive my linux setup to see if that was the case there, too. There appear to be ways around it, but I haven't tried any of them yet. Now there's a thought (one way to get stereo out of both of them). That said, they do sound nice. I heard the Jabra Jambox in the store, and that wasn't bad neither.
