Maybe I'm being a dunce, but you write that as if the reason for it should be obvious, and I'm not seeing it.

Really? I thought Sony had a thing against it. Never mind. EDIT: Well, at least I'm remembering it correctly -- link -- they (adult film industry) must've found a way around it...which if I had thought about it for two seconds, I probably could have predicted.

Juan had this one, which I liked.

Oh, there's lots of things he could do, but none of them would be the visual equivalent of the BHSE.

So my friend claims that he got grandfathered in at 30 Downloads/$11.99 instead of 24 on the new plan. Anyone else get grandfathered in? As in, long term? Or is it because he only had the basic plan?

Porn doesn't come on Blu-Ray. You'll have to get a nice line doubler for that.

Dude, keep your place in line. It'll be like Rihanna is right there in the room with you (except you'll have to close your eyes, because you won't be able to see her).

I see what you did there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqCAG7BEAu0&NR=1 I hadn't seen the last one before.

NewEgg's DailyDeal today is a CoolerMaster computer case. Better/worse value than the one in Todd's invoice? They're also having a 24-hour sale right now which includes other cases, power supplies, and whatnot. Dealsucker also had another case on it for $45, but I hadn't heard of the brand before...but it came with a power supply...oh, heck...it was this one.

Quoted for truth -- weeks, even. And then switch them out. And then listen to the other piece of gear for several days/weeks, and then switch back. You'll find yourself getting (slightly) depressed when switching to the inferior gear, and when that becomes noticeable, then it's time to call it. (This when trying to decide, for example, which of two pieces of gear to keep.)

Like Tachikoma said, your honesty is refreshing.

I love the Crown.

I actually really like Sony's non-DVD entry-level units, despite them not being the popular choice. I can't even imagine how much they'd improve modded. Something like this.

Dude, don't pay for stolen flac's.

An ouruboros of fora?

SMFF I'm sure there's a proverbial bouquet of fora about flora, though, which is how I initially read that.

grawk could put it in, for a price.

If (dellBox.scratchAndDent) { System.out.println (scratchAndDentHdr); System.out.println ("Scratch & Dent"); // what was I gonna write, "yes"? }

Do you already have an iPhone? If no, then dew et. If yes, then quitcher bitchin'.

I don't know, Nate, I wouldn't necessarily rule out a system ($489, Intel Quad Core, 6G memory, 750G hard drive, Vista pre-loaded -- it's too bad they won't forego the operating system...but who knows, they might...doesn't hurt to ask...).

It's really hard to compete with something like this. Or wait for PacificGeek to put up another 3.4GHz machine. Right now, they have a Dual Xeon 2.8 up. If you think you can put together a system even with scavenging parts, good luck with that. I intend to put a computer together, but I understand it's a losing prospect -- I'm doing it more for the learning experience than anything else. I can't believe I've never put together a computer for myself before. It's funny how when one is spending one's own money, things are different. (I've done it for work before.) What's dying, the motherboard? Is it just out-of-date/underpowered? I would monitor some of the deal sites (dealigg, digitaldeals, etc.), either way. I've seen both prefab systems and parts. But none of the sites seem to monitor MicroCenter, so you may have to monitor that one yourself (and if you need anything from them, and don't have one close to you, I have two close to me -- the Beltway/MD one, and the VA one).

In all honesty, that's still a good value on those <10 song/album dealios (especially if it's <7; and it's not just new age -- some ambient, experimental, drone, and doom metal albums also worked out that way...if that kind of music interests you [which it does me]). I might get some less decent values this last iteration, and then work out exactly how many more of those I want, buy the booster pack, and be done with it.

Snow Leopard was announced as "Summer 09" in summer 08.
