How does one skin in vB on Firefox?

I'm sure everyone is telling you this and you already know, but just in case you don't -- there's two versions of this, right? The older version is supposed to suck. Here's to hoping you got the non-sucky version.

That was useless, hungrych.

I haven't programmed it yet, but you might want to try Stylish -- there are some pre-written skins, and if you're a programmer at all, it looks fairly straightforward.

Alan Moore's Lost Girls -- porn, basically. Extremely well-written, non-straight porn, but it's still porn. Not for everyone. Buffy Season 8 -- Kelley Armstrong -- caught up with the paperbacks of her Women of the Underworld series, starting "Exit Strategy". Very good, downright addictive.

I sure wish you could communicate with as much clarity as you do confidence. Can't you give us a 30 words or less definition? Saying it's "about" something is not the same as saying what it is. PS If you have an essential book or something that you could recommend, I'll read it. (Don't start me with 10 -- start me with 1, maybe 2 max.)

I said, "improvisational based", not "pure improv" -- one can improvise within a context or structure, and still improvise. I'm not arguing with Jacob yet...but I'm not ignoring him, either, I just need to know more.

Wait, what?

Ran across this while googling for nude pictures of Rebecca Romijn:

Gauisus Natalis.

I think it's only a photoshop away.

Uh-huh.

Got this in the email from the mom-out-law (formerly, mother-in-law):

Really? You think maybe the ones that don't sound good loud don't sound good because of their parts aging? Or are you saying that the whole "they don't sound good loud" part is a myth, entirely? Because one myth I have verified for myself is that the LS3/5a's don't sound good loud. That one's true.

Doing a lot of buying, less selling, today, I hope.

I think a better question is, "what's for dinner?" Yeah, I also wonder how he got from The Birth of the Cool to Bitches Brew, but he still managed to do it. One thing that all jazz has in common is that it is improvisational based. So if Kenny G's music is entirely composed before it's played, then it's not jazz, it's just instrumental music that's made to sound like jazz. The thing I like about jazz is not just the emotional impact -- although that is essential -- is the intellectual stimulation as well. It's really the best of both worlds. On the best jazz I've heard, you can almost get inside the person's head and 'hear' him composing on the fly. The ones that I admire most are the ones that are 'composing' faster than anything I can imagine (that doesn't necessarily mean playing faster, but they're anticipating what to play, and picking the perfect note or set of notes [or combination of notes and silences, to the pedantic] better than I can at that speed).

Need moar info.

Thanks for that -- my first reaction, when a friend of mine sent me the video with the subject, "Whedon is my master now", was "WTF is that?"

I don't know -- I'm quite happy with my (recent production) Quad 12L's, build quality and all. That said, I'm not interested in Quad ESL speakers, except maybe the 2905. I like to go loud, and Quad ESL's aren't exactly famous for being able to go loud well.

Since this is online and not television nor movies, I thought I'd post it in off topic:

They have red screws? They have colored screws? Hmmm...

You need to check out some Pink ("There You Go"/"You Make Me Sick"), Kylie ("Slow"), and Annie ("Chewing Gum").

I'll sleep it off. If my colors are still changing in the morning, I'll go.

Stayed home, sick. Finished one book, started another, read some more on a third. Played with my kitty. I'm going to go out and get some orange juice.

I don't know, I got a case of The Rock last week from someone I met in a bar......&c.
