  1. im surprised by how well regarded they are. i mean i doubt ill be able to afford them in my lifetime but compared to other "uber high end" speakers their price is relatively tame. again, not saying that the mbl's are cheap - they arent but some other stuff is just silly expensive. usually moar moneys = moar bettah seems to hold once you go off the deep end. really hope to hear them someday.
  2. happy birthday sir.
  3. well he is selling that and a rega p1 with the glass platter upgrade for 300. thats seems too much money for me. if anyone else thinks thats a decent deal, given instructions on how to pack it, i can act as middle man. no fees required of course. emailed him to see how much it would cost. havent heard from him yet.
  4. any thoughts on the following turntable? Sony PS- LX350H guy at school is selling it.
  5. South Beach Miami Florida|South Beach Restaurants|ISHQ dont know if your friends would like indian food all that much. i personally dont like it probably because i eat it everyday. they might want to try something different. that place is supposed to have very good indian food. pizza rustica has good pizza.
  6. Philosophical language
  7. thanks for making me spit my soda all over my screen fitz. asshole.
  8. please tell me that that is a very very good photoshop job.
  9. if you are buying a new machine, my vote goes for this. (almost half the price of a mac mini for a decently configured zino) Dell Inspiron Zino HD Desktop | Dell cheaper. and seems to be "designed" for that purpose. (this is assuming pc is even on the table for discussion)
  10. jebus they are pretty. im starting to life paler shades of wood now.
  11. external drives (usually) dont carry as long a warranty as internals. again, usually 1 yr vs 3-5 years
  12. wouldnt it be cheaper/better (in case you got some other speakers in the future) to fix the floor? this is assuming you own the place...if it is a rented apt/house it may not be worth it. then again a 6" granite or a concrete platform covering the area might be yet another solution. that way you could put whatever speakers on there. or just buy spikes.
  13. you guys have this community. ive been part of the scene for almost 7 years now. that is my community. i may not be able to contribute as much to headcase but i do contribute a lot to the scene. it is not a matter of benevolence. it is just something people do. take that however you like. to those who feel justice was served - if you have done absolutely nothing unsavory or morally reprehensible, however insignificant, in your life, i accept your criticism and admire you for leading the life of a saint and doing no wrong EVER.
  14. dusty/todd/other hardware people - assuming i do raid 5, for purely storage purposes (speed has absolutely no bearing on what i am trying to do...the output will be bottlenecked by usb anyways) would i be better off with a desktop mobo or a server mobo. part of me wants to just build the simplest desktop possible in a big ass chassis and get raid cards which would increase the price of the total project by quite a bit. 1. regular desktop mobo with craploads of sata ports. 2. server mobo with craploads of sata ports. 3. el cheapo rig with some raid controller. thoughts?
  15. in the "piracy circles" there are seeders (people who host/share what they download) and then there are leechers (they just download and dont share with their peers). ive been seeding every since i got involved with the scene. it obviously will not make it ok with the people who have a problem with it but thats my side of the story. either way i will not change the minds of people whose moral compasses point due north (which is fine by me) so this is all i will say on this matter.
  16. piratebay is bad. private trackers are how its supposed to be done.
  17. most if not all hollywood movies from 1995 onwards. 38 complete tv series. roughly 7tb (now 6tb) of music. 1 tb is taken up by math "research" that i have long abandoned. ive heard maybe 800gb of all the music i have. if i had to venture a guess id say that roughly 30% of all video is 720p. 10% is 1080p or higher. vc1s of pirates of the caribbean trilogy and lotr trilogy alone are like 310gb.
  18. son of a bitch...i forgot about the hd800s completely bleh. well hope everyone had fun.
  19. todd, multiple servers would require at least a two fold increase in hardware (non hard drive hardware). thats space i dont have but at this point i might as well just do that and have giant raid arrays sitting here. lame ass newegg pumped the prices of the 2tb drives back to 200 will deal with all this after the 9th.
  20. i dont even what to know how much online backup would cost for 20+ tb... will start buying back up drives and throwing them in the closet sad that the drives filled with expendable stuff didnt die.
  21. they werent cds. 750gb of movies from high school etc. little over a tb of video from boston. rest music. music i dont care for...i cant get it all back again in a week. the other stuff has me bummed. might end up paying for some professional recovery service to get back the videos.
  22. last night i restarted my computer and windows said something happened and started to run chkdsk on a drive. i let it run and left the office. this morning when i can back and logged into windows, i was welcomed with a lovely sight showing 3 of my drives had been wiped by chkdsk...good going xp. ive googled this issue and it seems to be quite common with external drives. have tried 3 recovery softwares with no results. yall have any suggestions or did i just lose 3tb of media
  23. i only hung out with the cool kids for an hour and change but finally got a chance to meet the dragon (he kinda looks like one), ari (not as scary as all the stories made him out to be), colin (waaaay cool dude. he greeted me with something from either star wars, star trek. i shall ask him if i see him again today) and scott (super cool dude as well). as always, it was a pleasure to see the old timers again. i am a freaking local and i had to miss last nights events =/ perhaps next time. hope everyone is having fun.
  24. any idea when you guys will be at the back room till? its about 5 minutes away from fau and i can swing by to say hello tonight. tomorrow is looking increasingly harder to attend. alternatively, any and all are welcome to stop by the office if anyone really really wants to hear the fonkens.
  25. dad is the head surveying engineer for that ship. he gets to go on the maiden voyage oddly enough he HATES going on cruise ships for voyage surveys. he is a grease monkey and sailed on oil tankers as a chief enginner for 20+ years and feels at home on big ass oil tankers. he gets to go on cruises for usually a week at a time every other week to all these exotic places but he hates it.
