Tube amps sound so different from day to day, depending on so many variables...
there's an incontinuity here...if they sound correct at a given setting, then they sound correct. your 'variables' argument seems to say that the tubes have an inconsistent sound. i want consistent sound, especially since recording spans more than one day.
i don't see how much of this technology differs from recording dry and choosing the sound variant from a pull-down menu. i can appreciate the live sound of a laney stack playing a 60's Telecaster, but i doubt you [anyone] can be sure that [some song] from [some rock artist] is using a digital or analog amp on [some album].
there are tricks that work to get 'warm' or 'old school' sounds. this may be a good way to explore many without $tens of thousands. i have Van Gogh's Starry Night in my house. no one comments on how the original is more colorful, bigger, warmer or varies from day to day. except for operating systems, any 'my taste is better than yours' comment is moot.

if an email is worth reading, isn't it worth a double-click?
but it is nice of them. i didn't read sarcasm in that at all until you pointed it out.
...all we can have is sarcasm in the post?
no, there is also information about Sun bringing an enterprise class OS to x86, and more. i guess you were being sarcastic. trying to convince us that your glass is half-full isn't working.
When you're launched from your bike, you keep your appendages close to your body and roll, similar to how paratroopers roll on landing to reduce the stress on your body.
this should not be taken as advice and can kill you. at speed, your out-stretched body keeps you from bouncing, increases your air drag and increases your ground friction. bouncing and rolling along (tuck style) will cause head trauma when you hit the ground, whether you land on your head or not. opening as wide as possible keeps your torso intact and the head injuries potentially much less severe. i'd rather have a belt sander work at my helmet for 5 seconds than have one drop on my head. picture a high-speed auto crash where the car starts to flip and roll. your body does the same thing at lower speeds. a paratrooper reducing stress on his legs and expending less energy than a two-footed landing is NOT a survival issue. apples and oranges. sliding is much preferred.
What they don't realize is that ABS actually increases your stopping distance.
on ordinary dry pavement, this is only true if the drivers ordinarily ride the thin line between skidding and maintaining traction. ABS allows control of what would otherwise be an uncontrolled skid. i don't see people coming to red lights with their brakes jammed; braking fast and an all-out jam on the brakes (even with ABS) are different. when you stop fast, the car rocks back on its tires--the result of leveling after the front wheels have 'dug in.' i don't see that occuring with drivers who are paying attention. almost all drivers ~do~ pay attention. if ABS was a detriment to the car's ability to stop, we wouldn't have it. on surfaces other than dry pavement, ABS has the traction/loss of traction reflexes of a computer. i would love to see any human without ABS stop in less distance than i can in the same car with ABS. especially through cones or between cars or on any surface that isn't plain, flat, straight and dry.
i want you to tell me why having a laptop is so important down at the dock. if keeping your kids in clothes is even ~remotely~ difficult, the fact that you continue to pay someone a monthly fee for internet access is appalling.
let's watch Apple do things the way Dell and Gateway do? build them thicker, heavier, charge us $gazillion for gigabit ethernet, etc. no thanks.

as a 13-year vegetarian for ethical reasons, i can loosely define ~my personal~ rules in this manner:
i will not eat ~or consume~ any product that contains animal or animal by-products that were killed for the sake of consumption.
accidental killing (e.g. road kill) or natural death (e.g. old age) are acceptable as food to me, but i haven't had the nerve or opportunity to scrape up some squirrel or raise my own cow.
i would love the opportunity to surgically remove a small t-bone, but alas, i can find no DVM's willing.
am i against the research? yes, there is killing. will i eat a lab grown fish stick? yes, if the killing has stopped--that is not likely.
i don't listen to CD's on my computer; neither does my daughter/brother/sister/dad/neighbor/uncle. they will not be deterred by some fine print on the back of a cd case at the store. the great majority of people still use their home and car stereos anyway. the same majority doesn't 'backup' their music to cassette, let alone computer.
this legislation is necessary, but they need our voices. our paltry minority doesn't compromise enough $ to make our dollar vote count.
how do you suppose we educate the masses? honest question. show a public service commercial to try to get millions of people to stop buying Creed/Spears/whatever? that won't help.
it's YA hopeless case unless we write (read: flood) our local governments. sad.
Watching a DVD via such software may not be recommended...
DVD is non-dynamic and cacheable. it should perform well. have you tried playing a FPS over timbuktu? it's weak. i'm not talking about connecting to another player, i'm talking about running the game on the remote machine. even marathon is a low-requirements game and it isn't feasible. timbuktu and PCanywhere rely on amounts of visual information that doesn't change. even a cursor across 100bT steps across the screen. why? the info is dynamic and not predictable. why no wireless monitors already? bandwidth. it's not rocket science. if they could do wireless displays, they would have already. if Apple decides it's time for something like this, it's not going to be in a low-cost iMac. how isn't this obvious?
you know how much bandwidth full screen video takes? 1024x768x24>30fps. 30fps would annoy a lot of people. still over 550Mb/sec. and you want this wireless? in a low end iMac? maybe we'll get wireless pci and agp add-on slots first.
...this is why serious companies order kits and standard micro-ATX motherboards and build themselves...
serious companies? computers that aren't CE certified aren't even allowed in an incorporated business (u.s. only, i think). no, it's not the best price, but if my racks are full and i need to fit 5 more machines in a closet or spare cubicle, i can now.
...easily replaceable...
sure, but if people are busy actually doing work and a machine goes down, try getting warranty service on a non-CE or homebrew machine. you can't run to johnny's computer shop and expect identical parts 6 months after ~any~ purchase.
...in a million kids trying to get the definition of cunnilingus, fellatio or labia?
they'll probably get taken to a closed microsoft sites like encarta.
what's wrong with using a meta tag to include them instead of one to exclude them? serves the same purpose, right?

durable clothes. a pair of Dickies, like a pair of Levi's or anything else. thanks for the query, sorry i wasn't clear.
the 'dubya' in George W. Bush stands for 'i would never make it in the real world.'
i love running out at 4am to get stuff. Wal-Mart never closes and their prices beat 7-11. i LOVE Wal-Mart for last minute things and the occasional new pair of Dickies.
why did Wal-Mart open a store that is groceries only? that's right, no Barbies or Hot Wheels for the kids' birthday parties, no inkjet cartridges, no TVs.
the reason we (read ~i~) hate big business is because they go into markets where they historically have no expertise. have you seen Safeway or Albertson's gas stations?! great prices, but that's just not right. i can't support them when the near-future-and-getting-worse trend is toward a country with 8 major corporations, each with their own line of gas stations & cars, restaurants, hospitals, monitors, private schools and hotels. it's potentially sick.
i think it's worse here in Dallas, TX than anywhere i've been (that's a lot of places). even the college students want a quick degree and a job with a big company for reasons of money and not enjoying a career. others want a quick MCSE because they're 'good at windows 98' and can make their own useless and entirely ugly/bad type/bad animated.gif/never updated website. others are artistic, beautifully minded, free-thinking people who will probably be poor.

giving trademark holders first dibs is fine. the better answer is making the domains arbitrary. let's say microsoft get dibs on microsoft.xxx and microsoft.pub and microsoft.sucks...big deal. for the internet's end users (which is ~all~ of us) it's no big deal to get what either the big companies missed (for the squatter in you). keeping 'domains' together still works (support.microsoft.xxx and youthink.microsoft.sucks).
without violating these rules, NSI could still profit from arbitrary names without domain limitations like bill.gates.my.hero, which does ~not~ include license or rights to cmdr.taco.my.hero. NSI makes money; people can choose names better than 1eye41eye.org; trademark holders are happy and i can get the name idiot.freak if i want. name servers need almost no reconfigs or upgrades for this to happen, pop mail services would have to be set up for the exact name, but most.com's are rerouted without incident. maybe i'm rambling; maybe i'm tired; maybe i'm on the wrong page, but that really seems immediately feasible.
let's let the public have a go at all the DNS servers and name tables (or start new ones) and create them... well, ok, even i don't want a part of that chaos. since DNS is almost fully arbitrary anyway, i imagine established sites getting the boot; never mind then. but what about.pub? what's wrong with that? why can't all nakedness and porn domains get.xxx?
having mentioned the arbitrary point, i find it reasonable to have NSI or someone approve a name (and charge $, i guess) for anything. a governing body could take a 1 minute application for something like micro.soft or ski.nny and there would be an impossibly large number of names available. no more griping about profit dealers holding names because you could more likely come up with something not too bad yourself. slash.dot and www.slash.dot would have to be handled seperately with the NS organization, but NS information is already done this way for any level of name service. in other words, each name would be it's own domain and not allow other levels. if you need more than one level on your domain, you're big enough for the $small most likely. with your application, you can still check the education box if that applied to you. there are very few technical problems with it. NSI or whoever could remove the.net/org/com requirement easy enough on their request form and make gobs of cash in $70 chunks. i'm rambling, tired and late for work.
