FYI -- I've been getting good results using a one-two combination of Mac-the-Ripper for getting it off the DVD, and DVD Audio Extractor for getting the audio out of the .VOB files. I've been having some problems, and the one guy has been very responsive. And yes, it's from DVD's I own -- the bonus DVD's from the Depeche Mode sets, which is nice, because it's coming from a higher quality source material (48kHz and...uh, 24 bits, I think). But more importantly, all those bonus tracks I now have access to on my iPod. Converts to .wav, mp3, ogg and FLAC, amongst other options. DVD Audio Extractor also works directly with DVD's, although I haven't used it that way myself, yet.

I lowered my triglycerides from 206 to 99. Yay me.

Enabler.

Pfff.

I am by no means back, just passing through.

Alti, Baro, Compass, digital? Nice! Suunto? Supposed to be good, IIRC.

They're actually not that bright in real life.

iPod Classic 160 refurb, black -- right around the time of the new 120 (I was pissed off at Apple for making it smaller). I've been spending most of my spare time (that time that I've not been spending here) ripping CDs. Jesus. That's a lot of fucking CDs.

Notwist/Dosh -- Dosh surprised me with how good they were, since I had never heard of them before, and Notwist were as good as the last time I had seen them, which was 'very'.

True Blood -- rocks. Very true to the books, which rock. Sarah Connor Chronicles -- very much enjoying this. Especially enjoying the incorporation of the mythology tangentially, such as having the doctor tell the story behind T2 from his perspective, things like that. Also like the taglines that the robots use, such as "Thank You for your cooperation", "we don't sleep" and "come with me if you want to live".

Today I spent much less time being my kitty's personal Lazy Boy. Ate, drank, watched movies, and did a few load of laundries around all that.

Re: 28 weeks later -- yeah, if you didn't like the first one, I don't see as how you'd like that one. ... but it didn't ruin the movie for me, I still managed to ultimately enjoy it, myself. But I loved the first one.

Unless he's your friend and you're trying to fight another monster.

Also, it looks like a hammer. Pointed at her. In this case, 'hammer' being a euphemism for a word that starts with the letter 'p' and rhymes with 'penis'.

Also consider the Apogee Mini-DAC w/USB option

No, some neighborhoods have covenants with which you must abide. Chances are, if that's the only one you break, your neighbors and whatnot will turn a blind eye (especially on the backside of the house), but if you break enough of them, they tend to itemize everything you've ever done wrong. (I actually know someone on the receiving end of a law suit right now.)

Lounged Communed with kitteh watched movies at a friend's Pretty much like a prophecy fulfilled.

I'm thinking yes.

Of course, the converse ain't necessarily true, neither. Smartass response #2: I'm good, then.

Not if you licked the garden hose.

Do you dislike all transmitters, or just the one(s?) you had? Because I'm seriously thinking of getting one (and I just missed that buy.com one) until I get cd player working again in my car.

I'm going to have to try yelp to try some local places. Would I just try "Japanese", or is there more to it than that?

That one. That's where I'd put it. Would also render the switches moot if you put it after them. I wasn't lecturing safety, the thread title requested surge protection, I was obliging.

It would look more high-end if you wrapped it in an actual garden hose, filled with pop rocks and coke.
