  1. I got nuthin'. Although I am a big fan of Musical (In)Fidelity, I have been underwhelmed by anything other than highest end of their DACs in recent years (their X-tubes series being an exception). I was extremely disappointed to find out that a lot of them are topped out at 48kHz. I'd go for the Grace Design, but I suspect you need to find something that's actually considered to be sold by amazon, rather than an external website. Benchmark is certainly decent.
  2. Day care? I crack me up.
  3. No worries -- I have no lackeys, anyway. So they're safe. By being non-existent.
  4. I think having any predictable frequency at all is kind of useless. I'd grow numb to it. Or shut the script off. Mr. Slightly Less Ridiculous Man.
  5. I think your frequency is painfully too frequent, Mr. ridiculous man.
  6. Yeah, I know that. But thanks for saying it loud, it certainly doesn't hurt to remind me.
  7. (now playing in my head, Robert Plant's Tall Cool One)
  8. Fought with AutoIt & Windows Virtual PC -- this is ridiculous. When I have AutoIt try to launch a virtual PC, it says, "Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows\system32\VMWindow.exe', please check your typing and dial again..." If I try to launch the .vmcx file directly (hoping for automatic application association), it throws up the "please pick an application to be associated with this file type" dialog, and if I try to drill down to C:\Windows\system32, it's not there, and neither is vpc.exe, VPCSettings.exe nor VPCWizard.exe. It's like I'm in a parallel universe, with the one thing I need, missing -- I.E. hell. Anyone familiar with Windows7 enough to explain to me what's going on? I know they do a lot of things with these dynamic libraries that look like folders, but...really? WTFH?
  9. I would definitely view that as unpleasant if they were John-Grado forward. I like the HP-2's or -3's that I have because they're neutral, not forward. That said, I still may have to get the procedure, since mine are wonky.
  10. There are drinks in that picture?!?!?
  11. Chicken kabob from Moby Dick's.
  12. I thought it did? It used to be required (in Maryland, anyway) when you bought the house. Also: nice.
  13. She kinda looks like Gemma Arterton. In the face, that is. I have no idea whose ass hers resembles. Oh, and: Fuck you, kid, just fuck you:
  14. Finca Roja malbec last night -- not bad.
  15. Love the subterranean bass that starts playing at 0:21. I'm going to dissect the MIDI and see if I can get an actual song out of this, but it's pretty fucking catchy as it is.
  16. Get a surround sound pre-processor (or a receiver that has separately mutable speaker outs and pre outs -- I.E. the ability to mute the speakers, without muting the pre outs -- receivers are usually a lot less expensive). Set it up for 4.0 -- I.E. no subwoofer, full range to all channels, and a phantom center that gets mixed in equal proportions to the front left and right. Oh, and: noice!
  17. Great. I already have a microphone problem, now this. :\
  18. Dibs! (If I can afford it, which I probably can't.) So I should probably just say, "want."
  19. You could try rapping them with your knuckles.
  20. Going back & forth between Diseno old vine malbec and Val de Salis malbec Pays d'oc -- both are middling, yet drinkable Sent from mah Droid
  21. Get in mah belly!
  22. As is, anyway. I'm glad they made the changes they made. I mean, if I wanted a representation of the book...well, I'd probably read the book. Ks.
  23. I thought they were epically grand, myself. But I can just picture it: "Take that, Saruman, you old tweezer!" "What was that?" "It's called, 'ad-libbing'." "No, I mean, what on earth is a 'tweezer', and why did you call him that? We've already come to grips with the fact that we're going to be doing a lot of editing in post..." "Twat...Geezer...Tweezer."
  24. I get the successful login pop-ups (once per session, I think), but they don't bother me. The not working correctly part bothers me.
