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'.

Russian Diver, looks like I don't think I have an 8.5" wrist, but like I said, I'm certainly used to at this point wearing a 47mm watch.

@laxx -- I thought the Nook was color? I probably won't. I have paid for exactly one book so far, but have to admit to feeling ripped off without a physical analog -- it should easily be cheaper than any other format of the same book, since there's no physical media, no shipping, no handling, and no damaged returns.

What big orange watch? I remember you posting when you got it (now that you've brought it up again), but forgot about it when I saw the new big orange Invicta Reserve Subaqua Venom (quartz, unfortunately) recently. It was reminding me of something, but couldn't remember what, now I remember.
