i took delivery of my ER-4P's today, and they are amazing. i love the SR-60's, but there is no comparison. my initial review of the Ety ER-4P can be found here here.
Where i work, at the University of Cincinnati, our "official" (official because it's what my boss favors, not because of university policy or anything) live distro is knoppix and it has certainly helped in situations where machines have been royally screwed up, for whatever reason. i've had better luck with mepis, hower. i find that it is faster and more compatible (especially with properly recognizing and using sound cards), and that it is also more fully featured. it makes a good install, too.
i disagree. i have ER6i and have extensive experience with the ER4p and ER4s, and i consider the Shure E5 to be superior to all of them. i hope to buy a pair next month.
I am an active member of Head-fi, and I was expecting a private message on a purchase this evening. Not going to happen now *g*. On the other hand, I'm glad that Head-fi is getting exposure, as too many people use crappy headphones with their expensive players. Shure E5 for life! West Side!
i noticed that the cigarette burns weren't "normal", but i wasn't paying enough attention to them to notice exactly what they were.

i agree. wile Altered Carbon was no Neuromancer, it was very interesting once you got into it. i'm a big Raymond Chandler fan, as well as a sci-fi fan, and i found the merging of both forms to be a lot of fun.
the iBook is the other reasonable choice, for people that don't want to go with a CRT, until the iMac gets refreshed. since the iBook has gone to the G4 architecture it has become a very good machine for a very reasonable price. the PowerBooks (i love my 1.25 15") and the G5's offer very good value for what you get, but are significantly more expensive than the eMac and iBook. they aren't any more expensive than any other companies high end products, though, and one could argue that they offer greater value than many competing machines.
Stephen Hawking did NOT kill the idea of warp speed. afterall, Warp Speed (when you capitalize 'warp' and 'speed' you invoke Gene Roddenberry) involves subspace bubbles which, to the best of my knowledge, are make believe. what Hawking MAY have killed, however, is merely the idea of a certain type of wormhole. which was already make believe, anyway.
where did i pull that out of? the part in the article that says: "only 10 MB of dedicated graphics memory, and the undecided comments on whether the hard drive is 'built in'. The high speed bus to the GPU and the small amount of video memory point directly at Microsoft's upcoming DirectX Next, which will supposedly feature virtual graphics memory."
so, i get modded to 0 for talking about something in the article, and this jackass gets 2 for not? brilliant.
what about people that don't have broadband, or don't want to pay for the service that provides this "virtual graphics memory"? do they get to play their games at 1/3rd of a frame per second? these supposed specs seem to be BS, to me.
what is the cost benefit analysis of this? would microsoft have saved money if they had simply licensed everything first, or is the $440 million cheaper? i imagine that big software companies do the same kind of CBA that auto companies and the FAA do.
the Spymac e-mail addresses are quite nice. they had a bit of a lag on activation e-mails for the first couple days, but that seems to have been cleared up.

i'll see your bourbon and raise you a bullet. these images will stay with me until my hippocampus is smeared on the wall behind me.

the RotJ speeder bike scene was great. there was even a couple seconds of the Star Wars chase music in it, i believe. really great homage.

personally, i prefer paper texts to all of them. at least paper doesn't crash. mostly.
