Dusty Chalk

...looks just like HappyCat -- Dusty approves.

A case of Left Hand Fade To Black, Volume 1: Foreign Export Stout. My grail beer. (Yes, I found it locally, without having to travel to Colorado.) ...and a watch.

Wait, what? What's wrong with Victory/Magic Hat? I thought they were craft brews. And Dan -- thanks for the link! Perfect! Exactly what I want/need.

Happy belated! Beer incoming after finals.

These.

You fucking troll, quit baiting me, I need to get some work done before tomorrow's meeting!

No, incorrect, you're wrong, etc. Dynamic range != resolution. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and the softest, whereas resolution is the amount of detail to the signal -- I.E. what will let you know whether or not you're listening to a triangle wave or a square-wave signal being run through an LCR circuit that's really close to being critically damped. And why are you even bringing up sampling rate/frequency response? The fact that all of you guys keep harping on the same wrong strawman argument tells me that you're just regurgitating, and not even trying to understand my point, much less paying attention at all. FAIL. So -- to put it simply -- go fuck yourselves, all of you. (wanders off, muttering to himself something about 'retards')

For What It's Rirth?

Not on purpose, but yeah sorta kinda maybe. I wouldn't put any money into it, though, as historically, Apple has locked out such "accidental" features. Unless they decide to endorse it. I don't know if they've done the latter yet with the camera kit, though.

Those were fucking awesome. So full of random, so full of win.

It's not just about dynamic range, it's about resolution. Fuckers.

Keyword there is 'seem' -- there were always a plethora of DACses, but fewer FOTMses (flavors of the month). Now there just seems to be more. Yes, pretty much. Seriously -- the questions are: how good is your hearing, and where is the point of diminished returns for you? I have found that most material sounds pretty much the same out of a several hundred dollar DAC and a several thousand dollar DAC, so my point is somewhere less than a thousand. I might pay more for additional functionality (Cambridge Audio 840c seems like a bargain, considering what it does), but unless I win the lottery, I just can't bring myself to 'dew et'. The only way to do this -- the only way, those that claim they can tell good from bad in a short listen are lying -- is to somehow arrange for an audition in your own system for a weeks-long period of time. This is usually done by actually purchasing the item. I have found that my best bet is to purchase used, and sell used, that way there's minimal financial outlay to me. (I consider shipping and any loss of value the price I pay for the in-home audition.) Sure, one can look at the specs and the reviews -- how else are you going to determine which ones to audition -- but ultimately you have to hear it for yourself to decide for yourself.

Corpse?

Castle -- they really need to do more episodes where people don't have an alibi, and yet are innocent. Some people just aren't that social. In fact, they could do a whole episode where all the suspects are gamers or something. Or forum-readers. On a forum about alcohol.

Bump. Need moar pet photos.

Yeah, and rule #...two, is it?...is let us know what you're drinking.

Let me show you my shocked face: YouTube - NEW E*TRADE Baby - Lottery

In adhering to the one-syllable theme -- Chuck.

30 bit?!?!? Huzzah. I think the Macbook Pro just bumped up to the top of my laptop short list. (Not for any reason other than MOAR BITSES.)

I wonder if that's a similar algorith to rasterbating.

Going back to Blue Note SACD's -- on now Bottoms Up/The Three Sounds.

Yeezh. Go drink some water, man.

I remain blown away by that waterfall plot.
