I don't think that nostalgic audiophiles who prefer the old analog equipment could reliably pass blind listening tests comparing high-end audio from a digital source to an older tube (or whatever) based high-end analog system.
Sure they can. The noisier one is from their precious analog system.
That's probably part of the illusion of "warmth" -- just a simple lopping off of frequencies. But I think that's the effect he was going for. Plugging the iPod into the amp directly would be a very different sound test (one I'd be much more interested in hearing, personally).
Actually, it's the kind of thinking you're espousing that makes you a slave to religious interests. How can you even presume moral superiority to anyone while you advocate the use of WMD? But whatever; thankfully, it's not likely that anyone in charge of any significant WMD will ever give the key to someone named "Marxist Hacker," even after you claim to have read a book about the ancient Romans slaughtering the Jews.
And by the way, I am not advocating "nuanced thinking" with respect to bin Laden. That's directed at the other billion or so people you propose to murder.
This is insane. I thought I was obsessive just watching the Simpsons 3x/day. I see now that there are levels of obsessiveness about this show that I can only dream about.
That's what I was wondering. There are several episodes where they refer to the state, and even almost say the state name. There's one where Lisa says it's easy to figure it out if you follow the clues. Anybody got any theories on what state Springfield is in?
I had linux running on my Sharp Actius 100 about 4 years ago. There was even a driver that worked with the modem, as I recall. Let's see.... yeah, here's the archive of my install experiences.
Cheney's remarks after the blast were just reported on UPN:
"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that North Korea will nuke us in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."
I believe those downloads are so you can run pepper keeper on your mac or windows box. It looks like pepper keeper is a combination window manager with a bunch of apps like media players and a web browser and so forth, probably with builtin pen-input support. I imagine the source code is included at least for the web browser since they say it is mozilla-based (or it may simply be mozilla, but I imagine they trimmed some fat to put it on here). It also looks like the linux system under the window manager is complete so if you wanted to run it as a regular linux machine you probably could.
Comes only with USB 1.1, which is kinda slow for something that you'll want to transfer photos, mp3s, and video to. Also the 20g hard drive is a little tight for that purpose. I'd like to see one of these with usb2 or firewire and at least 80g on the hard drive. It would be nice if it had some kind of cover to protect the LCD too. But this looks pretty badass nonetheless.
It kind of already is a portable media player. The Pepper Keeper software looks like it will do most things you would need, and since there's a full linux system underneath, you can just install whatever players are missing.

how'd you find your way around?
For more info on how beer helps police harmful free radicals in blood...
It's time to write your representatives, folks!
hehe... yeah I figured the Soviet Russia part was obvious.
can I plug my iPod into it?

Alright, Jobs, here's my wallet. I want one!

Fuck this, I'm going to Moe's.
you're right. Took me half hour to find it. I have too much time on my hands. But not nearly as much as the guys who made this!
D'oh!
I don't see "123 Fake St." on the map.

I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs owns that song.

tomorrow.
It hits the bloodstream a lot faster if you warm it up.
Because in a pinch, ye can use this software to make somebody walk the bleedin' plank, matey! Arrrr!

Maybe it's a magic mushroom cloud! The North Koreans are finally chilling out, kicking back listening to Pink Floyd. And watching the Wizard of Oz.

Don't forget that puzzle thing. They're bringing it back with Tiger!!
