Soon, they're already seeding it. And what's with all the trash talk? Why can't we all just get along? :'(

What the hell does anyone need 7 DAC's for?!?!? (counts number of DAC's he has...wipes brow, only has 5) I mean, they're not even that good.

Pretty sure you can do server side storage with POP3, but yeah, it's not nearly as advanced (no searching, etc.).

Okay, I'll bite -- why? Don't dumb it down for me, I'll understand the explanation, it's just news to me.

Thank you. The voice of reason, yet again.

I never get tired of that one with the double-tackle by the dog. He's obviously just too happy doing it. And: flying squirrels are (still) the best!

Gorgeous!

Is that what I think it is?

PCB boards for Pete Millett's UniAmp. That would be karmic.

Why would a guitar without batteries not want its picture taken?

I did good, and was nothing at it.

I keep forgetting to post this, sorry: Whedon's Angel Box set on Amazon.com's Gold Box today only for US$57 That's a little more than US$11 per season (not per disk, per season).

Correct. Yes. No.

My question stands -- does he have digital out or 5.1 analog channels? Otherwise you're going to have to add "computer connectivity" to your list of requirements. I don't know why people feel obliged to get computer speakers for their computers. Most of them suck. froogle

Need to know what he has first -- what does he have in the way of soundcard? If it only has digital out, then he's going to need a receiver/speaker package. If it has multichannel analog outs, well...then he's still going to need a receiver/speaker package. Just get the best you can get for $500. Something like two pairs of the Insignia NS-B2111 and a cheap receiver and a cheap sub (this last will be the hardest part), set it in phantom center channel mode. Or I think CostCo sells something like the Philips MCD709 with surround channels, but that was a couple years ago, I'm not sure they sell them any more. Really those receiver/speaker packages are your best bet, the hardest part will be making sure you have connectivity, because none of them come with USB. EDIT: Yeah, like the Promedia system that Grawk linked to.

The conversation is already played out, but I thought I'd still mention -- this is by no means a limitation of the USB 1.1 spec at all. USB 1.1 can easily handle 24/96, and I have a USB 1.1 DAC to prove it (M-Audio Sonica -- precursor to the Transit).

It's a waste of perfectly good snake oil.

Oooh, new IQ!

Popped out a RMI prototype in Java (getting back into the swing of Java development -- haven't done it for a few years -- I only just heard about RMI for the first time on Tuesday, now look at me).
