I've never actually seen them, but from what I've heard they use some rare connector that can be purchased individually, but for a crazy price. And more annoyingly, its a different connector as used on the other Sennheisers.
There are some albums that I listen to solely because of their production - like Eric Clapton's Me and Mr. Johnson. None of the songs are that great (compared to some of the other albums he's played on), but the sound that he can get out of a guitar sucks me right in.
It is the Clapton album that sounds the best, and because of it I listen to it at least as much as his others.
I love my headphones, and I love my speakers, but they are two different beasts, and different moods and styles of music usually dictate my choice of speakers vs headphones, and which speaker or headphone to use.
I have multiple sets of both, and my favorite speakers are a set of Full-range Fostex FE206Es. They are pretty flat, but its more than just the driver that makes a speaker flat.
It might also have to do with the specific amp that I can only use with very efficient speakers. Its amazing how much volume 5 watts can get you with the right speakers.
I would have recommended the Logitech S220s. I bought a set for my nephews for Christmas for $25 CAD. When I saw how small the box was that they came in I thought that they were going to be crap, but they were surprisingly decent for the price and loud enough to annoy the hell out of my sister.
I was upset when these came out, my HD-650s aren't top of the line anymore.. That said, man are the 800s ugly.
My SR-80s are very good headphones for the money (~$100) and rival the HD650s. One of these day's I'm going to listen to a set of RS2is, one of their upper-mid level headphones.
I don't want a memory stick containing lossy 320kbit songs, I can get that easily enough off the CD (they are still giving you a real CD, right?).
Why not include a 24-bit 192 or 96 khz lossless format, and maybe something in 5.1 instead? DVD-Audio and SACD didn't take off because no one adopted the players, but it might take off if you made it easily playable. I might even pay a slight premium.
I would recommend pfSense or m0n0wall, but I would stay away from the Atom.. I would use one of the Intel D201GLY2 mini-itx boards with the Celeron processors, as the boards use about the same amount of power, and the Celeron will be much aster (the Atom has a terrible northbridge that results in both boards using the same amount of power).
I use m0n0wall at home with my cable modem running VOIP, lots of NNTP, and lots of torrents, without any problems. It also means that web pages load as quickly when maxing out the bandwidth as when no ones doing anything, and that ping times generally stay pretty low. My m0n0wall box also has an uptime of over 300 days, way better than I've ever been able to do with my Linksys router.
I read somewhere that some areas will allow you to use 20A NEMA 5â"20R (with the twisted pin but not a T shaped slot) or even locking NEMA 5-30 wall sockets for DC, as long as you had no actual AC circuits using those sockets in the building. This should prevent most accidents.
so you're agreeing with me. The servers getting blown up was a huge mistake, one that certainly could have been avoided with a little proper planning. you are a fucking moron
I'm willing to pay $2/gallon for the opportunity to use the 50% efficient stuff.. Why wait until you reach your target of $1/gallon when what you have is already cheaper than normal gas?
Speaking of this, I recently bought a Tartan branded HDMI cable from Blue Jeans Cable, as it was the cheapest reputable cable I could find ($9.50 for a 6 foot 24 AWG HDMI/DVI Cable).. Was I ever surprised when I received it, as it was larger and seemed to be of higher quality than any of my other HDMI cables, all of which were significantly more expensive.
Unfortunately, I was going to place an order for some cables, but now the site is crazy slow because of all the hits..
I have 2 fairly recent computers in my room. One has absolutely no fans, and is a (single core) Athlon64 running at 2.4 Ghz with a Scythe Ninja, passively cooled video card, Fanless (not quiet, but completely silent) power supply, and 2 compact flash cards in RAID0 for storage. I use this computer for pretty much everything except for gaming and video encoding, and it works perfectly, playing 1080i without skipping frames.
The other is an Athlon64 5000+ Black Edition running at 3.4 Ghz, which I use for games. This computer runs an Asus M2N-32SLI motherboard, which is a top of the line AMD motherboard, and it has no fans on any of the chips on the motherboard, using purely passive methods to cool down the board. While this computer does have 3 or 4 fans, none are blowing directly over the north or south bridges.
Well, considering you linked to the article:
Technetium-99m is used in 20 million diagnostic nuclear medical procedures every year. Approximately 85 percent of diagnostic imaging procedures in nuclear medicine use this isotope. Technetium-99m is made from the synthetic substance Molybdenum-99 which is a by-product of nuclear fission. It is because of its parent nuclide, that Technetium-99m is so suitable to modern medicine. Molybdenum-99 has a half-life of approximately 66 hours, and decays to Tc-99m, a negative beta, and an antineutrino (see equation below). This is a useful life since, once this product (molybdenum-99) is created, it can be transported to any hospital in the world and would still be producing technetium-99m for the next week. The betas produced are easily absorbed, and Mo-99 generators are only minor radiation hazards, mostly due to secondary X-rays produced by the betas.
I want a really fast small drive (or even better, 2 or 3 really fast small drives in RAID0) for things like my OS, programs, scratch space, etc., and then a slow big capacity drive (or RAID5 array on a file server) for things that take space.
.. also isn't the voice synthesizer and special screen reader and enlargers part of Windows, and not part of Microsoft Office? I have those programs installed, as they're part of the 'Accessibility Pack' or whatever?
* Magnifier--a display utility that makes the computer screen more readable by creating a separate window that displays a magnified portion of the screen.
* Narrator--a text-to-speech utility that reads what is displayed on the screen--the contents of the active window, menu options, or text that has been typed.
* On-Screen Keyboard--displays a virtual keyboard on the computer screen that allows people to type data by using a pointing device or joystick.
Just as a comparison, I offer the following. All Prices are Canadian, I could probably buy this system tomorrow, and I think the RAM may be a bit overpriced:
My MythTV silent PC system is much quieter. Get a silent thermal controlled power supply, Seagate hard-drive, fanless video card, silent CPU cooler and you're all set.
Silent Thermal Controlled Power Supply? What does it do, change size when it gets too hot? And a Seagate hard drive is silent?
If you really want silence, get a fanless mini-itx board, an 80 or 120 watt power supply (which has no fan), and do a network boot or boot from compact flash. That's what I have for the PC in my listening room. The mini-itx board has onboard sound/lan/video/tv-out. The onboard video isn't the best, and the onboard audio is AC97, but it should more than do for the application.

The cables on the HD800 are removable, however as far as I know there are no aftermarket/replacement cables available yet.
There are many options available for the HD580/600/650s, including balanced cable options.
Well, close...

I have a pair of 600 ohm AKG K-240s, and while they are nice headphones, they do not rival Grados at the same price point.
I have never heard any of their more expensive headphones like the K701s, so I can't comment on those, but lots of people swear by them.

So basically its a Powerglove for your head.

But think of the benefits, this way you can still control the flaps in the wing, even after the wing has broken off!
Apparantly they want the market to decide, but get upset when the market decides that they won't pay more than $0, and downloads the song from p2p.
According to actual drivers (from the EPA website, the Prius gets about 40-48 MPG. A Diesel Golf gets 40-49 MPG, slightly better.
The Diesel Golf is rated at 42 city/49 highway. The Prius is rated 52 city/45 highway.
Also, Diesel fuel is quite a bit cleaner than most people would believe, especially when using low-sulfer fuels.
