The relationship you have entered is too short.

So that means you're, what? 44? Just curious, sometimes it gives us a little perspective. Not sure if you meant high school or college or what.

You guys really believe multi-tasking is on deck? For those of us who developed for the iPhone, there were constant rumors about multi-tasking being on deck, but in reality it never came, and I suspect the reason it was always backburnered was because if you wanted multi-tasking, you jailbroke your iPhone. So consider me permanently entrenched in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp. That, and the bluetooth keyboard. (Did that ever come to pass? I've stopped following.)

Had a hard drive die on me yesterday (the fabu Seagate "click of death" -- no, I'm not even going to defend myself from that one, thought I updated the BIOS, didn't), spent (yesterday and) today getting my system back to where it was and me with my work back to where I was, when we had a brown-out. My UPS responded to said brown-out by doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do, namely, shut off all electricity to the power outlets. Permanently. double-+- Not a good week for me.

Multi-touch?

No worries, I was just playin' the contrarian. Well, no, actually, I really do like them, but the seeming acerbicity/acerbicness/acerbia of my post was playful. I would even go so far as to say that away from each other, on a really good amp (e.g. BHSE, ES-1), I'm not sure everyone would be able to tell the difference. The coloration that I heard (slight midbass hump) worked well for rock-and-roll, and is probably the one you're thinking of will go away with mods, so: spot on. Also, nothing a little EQ couldn't solve. Also: moar black (at least, the black one is).

Yeah?

Of course, the conversations would get a little old. "Wanna go for a walk? Okay, I'll wait here..." "Hey, wanna go out for ice cream? Okay, I'll wait here..." "Would you mind walking my dogs? I mean children? Thanks, I'll wait here..." "Beer? There's a bar downtown, I'll give you directions..."

But you don't get the cool case.

I do.

I think it's the killing that makes us content.

Where does the O2 Mk II fit in with the O2 > 4070 > 404LE > O2 circle of greater-thans?

Pandora?

Absolute vs. per capita?

Hooray! EDIT: That looks bad, after stretch's post -- it was directed at Nebby. Ditters!

If someone can get QEMU running on a jailbroken iPad, can you run any damn thing you want? It's already got some ARM support.

Black is the old black.

Conrad-Johnson?

At 9 feet it won't be a problem, but when it moves to a different function, you might want that extra resolution. I know I would. And x3 on the calibration issue.

My point exactly. It's because it's black.

Black 404 > non-black 404

Is that good or bad? I've liked the Sharp Aquos that I've seen, but admittedly, that was a couple (2-ish) years ago at this point.

Jesus.

Doesn't sound corny to me, is all I'm sayin'.
