No, that's mirrors. Depending on which mythology you follow.

Argh, for some reason, I can't see the pics.

The biting thing is normal. He's not trying to eat you, that's just the way cats play -- it's part play, part establishing relationship. Some play rougher than others. Since your hands are your livelihood, I recommend teaching him that you don't play that way, so that it doesn't escalate. The most important thing is to stop him. I scold mine when he gets too rough, but I let him bite me when he only does it gently. He's learning -- he bites without getting too rough more frequently. And it's not just breaking skin -- if he breaks skin, you definitely need to stop him, that's usually too far even for a cat. What I mean by "too rough" is when it "stings" afterwards. I've seen a study that said cats who are played with roughly tend to be rougher when they grow up. I want a gentle cat, so I try to expose him to as little roughness as possible. But he's a male kitten, so there's also a certain amount of him naturally being that way. It's also a bit of a dominance thing -- he's trying to gain dominance of you, so by not letting him bite you, you are partly telling him that you're boss. I say "partly", because you're not biting him back. That's just a length I'm not willing to go to, to let the cat know I'm boss. Besides, eyes too close to paws. You also need to learn to clip his claws. Good luck with that. Do it early, so he'll get used to it. About once a week, depending on growth rate. Just blunt them, and make sure you don't cut his flesh.

Colin -- was your copy signed? I got the pic, but it wasn't signed. Perhaps I will get that advance entrance surcharge and get it signed myself. (I got mine today also, but am listening to this: Copland: Billy the Kid/Grofe: Grand Canyon Suite, RCA Living Stereo SACD.)

Without reading the article -- isn't that what CD-Text is? Will read article.

Jesus Christ! @ the crate. My AudioValve RKV comes a distant second.

In a word: 9.10. 64-bit version from the 32-bit version in one case. Still working on it. (Backups occurred during the former part of the day.)

And you can always phantom the center. The hard part is getting buy-in on the part of surrounds for two reasons. #1 -- Why? Why do we need surround at all? What's wrong with stereo? I don't want sounds coming out from behind me. They distract me. I don't want things happening behind me. #2 -- Can we please put these wires away? What do you mean, they always have to be there? They don't have to be there when we're just sitting here watching TV, do they?

Why do you think I've only posted pictures of my work rig at particular angles?

Can't be that big a fan...

I think he wants to know where he got the (a) parts; ( idea for the project/schematics; © who his friends are that did the other 85%.

You don't need cat stuff -- mine likes to destroy plastic bags and corrugated cardboard, so leave plenty of that around. (Be careful with the plastic bags at first -- some cats are stupid enough to suffocate themselves.) Indoor/outdoor cats -- let him out whenever he asks, unless you want to truly adopt him (I'd recommend it, of course). In which case, get some kitty litter and a pan, and place him in it at least once (so that he knows it's "his"). Get him neutered when he's old enough -- do this even if you intend to set him wild again. I was told that stateside the rule of thumb is when his balls drop. 12 hours at a time is a good rule of thumb. We've accidentally locked kitties in all sorts of rooms, and they can usually hold it until they're discovered. I wouldn't do that on purpose to an indoor/outdoor kitty, but you can train an indoor/outdoor kitty to use litter. But then he might become an indoor kitty. I've said before the big difference between dogs and cats is (1) you can't litter-train a dog, and (2) that middle of the day walk -- cats don't need one. If you're going away longer than a day, I'd find someone to watch him. Re: cleaning/dirt -- it's usually a sign that the cat isn't feeling good if it doesn't clean itself, but some outdoor cats are dirtier than indoor cats. I'd follow the advice above -- make sure it feels better, and then if it still doesn't clean itself, then don (rust-proof as well as claw-proof) armor and bathe it. If it's young enough, it can be taught to bathe. YouTube - brunello1997's Channel Take him to a vet -- will probably need deworming, rabies vaccination, and whatnot. And yes, pictures, please!

You mean, the one that says, Stolen Beauty? I believe that's called Stolen Beauty. (If you meant the unlabelled one, that's The Finest Thing which is superb beyond words. Easily my favorite by her, but it's not really fair, because it's unlike anything else she's done [i think]. Very Pink Floyd/Post Rock/patient/lots of instrumental -- more about textures than actual melodies.)

Huzzah, Brent. 29 months + is a long freakin' time to be unemployed. I say again, huzzah. I was unemployed for 12, and that seemed an eternity.

The other thing that will give you a couple more inches cost-free is inverting them, but then you have the tweeter/desk reflection problem, so I wouldn't do that until you raise them first.

He's talking about the larva. Or maybe the snickers bar.* Waits for inevitable "yeah, your penis is a snickers bar" joke.

Less disk noise due to swapping. That's all I got. Oh, and: the psychology of having a better machine than the average bear.

It expires at the exact least opportune moment.

I like that. You buy room treatments before you finish buying furniture.

I would rank a good cleaning machine very highly, amongst "tweaks", almost to the point of necessity (a cleaning "something" would be necessity -- machine just makes it easy).

Your intuition is correct. The design would normally be entirely different, going from reflex load to sealed. It's still worth trying, you won't blow anything up doing that. PS I just bought a pre. There's a good chance it'll show up on Saturday.

No, you did not. Thanks for getting me on Nate's bad side. Nate -- if I had a clue they were already spoken for by you, I never would have said anything. I'm sure I can get them from Lane Mart when I'm ready.

Once you go black, you never go back. Unless, of course, Apple forces you to.

Exactly.

Next time don't use compressed air.
