I wouldn't personally call ana caram a guilty pleasure...

My understanding is turing, who cracked enigma, was primarily responsible for the concepts, but never participated in the actual design of the hardware. He was more the type to enjoy ideas but who found actual implementations boring. I could be mistaken, I'm not sure how much of the character Alan Turing in Cryptonomicon was real and how much was fictionalized. In a bit of trivia, one of my college advisors was on the design team for eniac...

It's got black gates and had opamps upgraded. It doesn't have the SACD/DVDA spdif mod, but does play them back over analog. I can dig up the full description of the mod.

Pretty sure eniac enigma was cracked by hand mathematically. The ideas lead to eniac, however.

I have a redwine modded DV578a that, while not being quite in the league of the cary, is still quite nice. I'd ship it to you to try out if you're interested. If you don't like it, send it back, if you do, make me an offer...

Pay attention in history class. The engima machine is the code machine that hte germans (and japanese) used during WW2. That we were able to break the code and not let on is the real reason ww2 ended the way it did...

Now that airport extreme support is apparently working, I need to put together a live cd for my powerbook to use with my shuffle as homedir...

But ones you put your emo stickers on it it won't be so bad...

Yup, I'd think anyone could get action in princeton...

living in nj, almost 15, and still a virgin? Jeez...

Yup, I am...

Tyll, if you're interested in virtual communities beyond niche areas like this, I can point you at a REALLY interesting place...

Don't stress too much on what members write as board policy, Yikes

Still, a good dac is a valuable thing, and having the option of fewer things in the signal path if you want to use a different amp seems helpful.

That'd eat a huge percentage of the market for those amps

You know, a PS3000 with port covers might be a good alternative to moving to a different room

If you think that this place is only about dishing, perhaps it's because you haven't ventured into the other topics? There's a lot of discussion going on elsewhere, and people do spend some time dishing in the various off topic threads because it's been verbotten for so long...

me either... [me=grawk]throws stuff at a guy in maryland.[/me]

Freedom doesn't imply the ability to take back what you say...

It seemed to me that the questions were reasonable, and since you ARE rudi's point person for north america, you're the right person to ask, right? When you post pictures for comments, it seems reasonable to get comments...even negative ones.

There's morsel... Feel free to invite others.

Sometimes people should ask themselves "Should I" in addition to "Can I"
