  1. Wait, what? When? I thought you said the top-of-the-line one was good and listenable? That'll teach me not to eat pizza before bed...
  2. Continued luck and forward progress and whatnot.
  3. Correct. The HD580/HD600/HD650 are roughly in the same league -- the others are different animals altogether.
  4. No, no, I understand that. It's a patience thing -- once I pour the glass, I want it NAO. It's an effort not to drink it right away. I've had the best luck when I pour a glass first thing when I get home from work, put it up on a shelf, forget about it, go about my evening, feed the kitties, etc. Then much later get around to drinking it. The Final Punto was just a meh wine -- it needed to be chilled to subdue some of the flavors I didn't like. With the Y+B, it was back to just the patience thing. So in essence, I'm agreeing with you, at least in theory. What is common wisdom for optimal drinking temperature for wines?
  5. Nop(e). Bummer about hubby. Sending goodish waves in a general Western and slightly Southern direction. Me: took my mom out for her birthday. It was nice. She was time-limited, so she didn't have a chance to hem and haw and make departure painful like she usually does. Really nice.
  6. Oh, that might be a configuration issue (I.E. perhaps one can't mix and match sticks. Or something.). I do now see how that might lead to failure.
  7. Not sure how this would work -- 32-bit machines can only address up to between 3GB and 4GB. 64-bit machines can, of course, address much more. I don't know where the 2GB number came from.
  8. Yellow+Blue malbec 2008 -- pretty good straight out of the fridge, but have a second (1/2) glass warming to be sure.
  9. What? You do realize that they have less bass emphasis than the DT770's. Right? Well, anyway, whatever. Just don't be perpetuating that without having heard them for yourself. Re: HD600 vs. HD650 -- I agree with Tyll, they're pretty close. Especially well-amped. And remember that headphone position (including how far they are from the ears, I.E. as a result of clamping force) has a lot to do with sound quality.
  10. Cock and Pussy...fight!
  11. Finish this for me? "Yo dawg, I heard you like Playboy bunnies so we made a Playboy bunny out of Playboy bunnies so that you can..."
  12. Which duplicates did you get? I may want to buy them off of you.
  13. Also: Allagash Black & Young's chocolate stout Sent from mah Droid
  14. Sakura matsuri Sent from mah Droid
  15. Pranqster -- yum Sent from mah Droid
  16. You did not.
  17. I lollered. They should start doing that in the margin -- "Your cart is empty, (No) Part of your order qualifies for free shipping! You need to give us $25 mo' moneys to qualify for free shippings!"
  18. Take for example, ebooks -- it was the kindle's biggest step to start supporting that format. All the sites that provide ebooks, the single thing they probably have most in common is that they support pdf as an option.
  19. You can do pdf without adobe, and that is probably the single most universal document format. At least, I know you can create the document in linux, and I know there's some freeware and shareware utilities on windows, except not sure about the OCR part. I'd start with at least some sort of universal image -- jpg is good. You can always convert later.
  20. Please don't mention "flavor" and shoes or feet or anything in the same breath. Again. Ever.
  21. I'll see what I can do, but my studio is not set up right now, so don't hold your breath, neither literally nor figuratively, and I have no idea where the tapes for the Ever Darkward sessions are, or if I even have a copy, and whether or not said TMI is on those tapes, so I'd be better off trying to recreate. Compression is weird -- the human body makes a lot of very wet noises, when you listen closely enough.
  22. The thing that's great about the DT770's for recording is the isolation -- there are few headphones that isolate better. You can be right in front of the microphone, with the compressor set so high that you can hear eyelids blink*, and monitor fairly loudly without feedback. And yes, very comfortable. The DT880's are like the DT770's without the ...erm... hyped bass signature. I suspect rockers at Guitar Center like the DT770's because of that bass hump. EDIT: This last is from memory, and I don't know which version of both I heard. I own the 250 and 600 pre-pro/home split (which effectively makes them pro, I think) of the DT770's, but have only heard the DT880's in meet environments, but I don't remember which DT770's were at the meet. *Yes, I've done this, really -- it's a surprisingly wet and intimate sound. And a little bit TMI.
  23. He wasn't padding -- link. Sounds like I need to invite him here...after I receive them, of course.
  24. Quite possibly. One becomes so drunk as to be relaxed as a noodle, making it easier to absorb blows?
