Yeah, those kind of sucked, didn't they? "How can we repackage a Slinky?" "Why would we want to, it's selling so well?" "Because pretty soon, everyone who wants one will have one, and then sales will taper off." "So? If every household has at least one, then we're still doing really good. Besides, they kink if you actually use them at all, so those people will have to replace them." "If they're selling that well, then we can get rid of the marketing staff, which means you'll be out of a job." "Oh." "..." "Uh." (tugs at collar) "..." "How about -- we stick things on each end so they look like long animals?" "Now you're cooking. Go tell it to manufacturing."

That's a software issue, not a function of the 3g. As far as I know, Imap already works, what other issues are there? Push? I'll have to look into it -- I had someone else say something to the effect of, "Apple needs to get email working the way Blackberry does", so I do know it's an issue, I just don't know what it is. EDIT: Just found an article that synopsizes the problem. Looks like the answer is going to be, "no".

That can be done, too, but then AT&T won't subsidize it, I don't think. But yeah, I'm waiting for the 3G. June cannot come fast enough.

Well that's just silly

Well, yeah, who hasn't? But the person in that vid just looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.

The first time I saw those two clips, I didn't even realize it was the same person right away. I'm surprised he didn't have an aneurysm since that older clip. He must have switched to decaf like that same day.

No, never mind, I didn't realize it was the second half of that one. "Fuck it, we'll do it live!" Awesome. How great is O'Reilly? This great:

Hey, that one's gone, what should I search on?

I understand giving up one's L3000 before I understand giving up one's K1000. So consider yourself only mildly berated.

Are you sure you'd want that? You'd get all sorts of comb-filtering from the backwave. Closed headphones need to be specially designed to minimize that, that's why most of the higher-end ones bulge out like that.

-5 reading comprehension points from me

Unless you need more space.

Hey, what's a good source for anime soundtracks? Mail order, online?

No, really, I meant the iMod -- it's its own punishment for not searching the archives.

The Miles Davis cross-section is almost perfect. I would add Cannonball Aderly's Somethin' Else (tip o' the hat to thrice for that one -- it has remained a favorite), some representation of the Relaxin'/Steamin'/Workin'/Cookin' sessions -- perhaps the Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions? -- and something representing the 65-68 Quintet output (personally, I'd do the boxset, but there might be a better single album). Chick Corea is sinfully underrepresented -- one disk? Fusion needs reprazentin'. Also, shouldn't Keith Jarrett be represented with both a solo piano disk and a trio disk? I guess my summation is that -- as stated in the intro -- this list is obviously stilted towards jazz's early years. And there is such a thing as vocal jazz, I just don't think Frank Sinatra should represent that.

Nope.

I think you should get the iMod.

Not everything has a clock input. That Rega that was pictured was modified.

Yeah, but there are -- what? -- two of those in the world? I didn't want to just frustrate him. So...what's the car situation, what ended up happening with that?

The Tannoy Prestige line have high sensitivities, IIRC. linky (about 1/3 of the way down the page). There's also the JBL K2 S9800.

"...listening to dynamic headphones...", or "...listening to just dynamic headphones..."? Because you can pry my L3000 from my cold dead hands.

They had the Cavalry one last week for $189 -- should I have posted that? I will, next time.

L3000.

Welcome to head-case, sorry about your thin skin. And this.
