I was hoping this would talk a little more about the mechanical aspects of building the actual driver, instead of being mostly a guide to fitting a sub into a box. Or am I just missing something?
Yes, you are missing something. A driver is not a subwoofer. I have 12" drivers in subwoofers. I have 15" drivers that are not in subwoofers.
A subwoofer is a combination of driver and enclosure designed for greatest efficiency and flattest frequency response at frequencies from 80Hz on down.
I got excited, wrapping a cone w/ wire, finding a good permenant magnet.
That's the driver. I believe he is talking about making a subwoofer, which would imply the use of the device at lower frequency ranges of human hearing.
A driver, no matter what size it is, is not a subwoofer. Subwoofers can be made with a single 12" driver, with four 18" drivers, or even a 30" driver.
Hmm...Am I the only one who finds it ironic that both the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) and kiddie porn are mentioned in the same post?
You got me there. I can see where I might lose one of the slots to a scsi card, but other than audio processor engines what would I need the other slots for?
Bear in mind that I'll already have dual-monitor support with the single video card in the AGP slot, plus USB and Firewire ports on the MB.
[Watch it over and over... the commercial about that Gateway that looks like the iMac.... much more useful, easier to use, faster, and costs a lot less]
You mean that one that doesn't even come with an ethernet port or a modem?
No wonder it's faster and cheaper. Probably has no built-in facilities for wireless either.
OS X sucks. face it. It was a nice idea and it just doesn't work. I hope apple isn't taking extra steps to prevent it (via hardware), but rather stopping development of OS 9 drivers for the new hardware (I imagine new powerbooks will be among the first affected by this), and maybe make the Startup Disk control panel in X not recognize OS
Pardon me, but I think you dropped your tinfoil hat.
Pehaps I am a missing something, but I can't boot into OS9 now from 10.2. My remaining system folder is greyed out and unselectable from the Startup disk control panel.
Perhaps you are missing something. I've installed Jaguar on a number of machines, from old Beige G3s to TiBooks and not lost the ability to select OS9 for startup. Sounds like your OS9 System Folder has a problem. Does Classic still work for you in X?
Can I please have a *global* icon size setting and a *global* view style
There is a global icon size setting: With a finder window open, select "Show View Options" from the View menu. The first choice at the top of the preferences window is "This Window Only" or "All Windows".
You're not given this choice at desktop level; You must have a finder window open.
As far as your window style preference: You can select "Open New Windows in Column View" in the Finder Preferences pane. Personally, I prefer that to List View anyway.
What you're forgetting is that on eBay, it's the second-highest bidder that determines how much the winner pays.
I realized today where my perception problem lies: I don't participate in auctions because I'm looking for an obscenely great deal. I bid because I've found something I've wanted, usually something that can't be found elsewhere. Usually the 'deal' comes because the seller has an item they have no use for and just want to get rid of. Many deals I go after are on repossessed and/or 'evidence' items. Just like in real auctions. Sometimes I bid on rare collectable items that I would never find locally.
In other words, auction bidding is not bargain-hunting for me, in the strictest sense. I don't 'win' every auction, either. I haven't been upset by any 'lost' auction, however.
You're missing the point. By bidding early, you give the other bidders something to aim for.
I think you missed the point. Other bidders have no idea what to aim for, because do not know what my maximum is. Because I don't see it as a competition, I don't lose. If I'm outbid, then obviously someone else wanted the item more than I did.
Few people have a perfectly fixed idea of what a given item is worth.
You're right. That's why auctions always work to the advantage of the seller. People who know what they are doing know exactly how much they are willing to pay, and bid accordingly. People who don't know make sellers like us very happy.
Sellers (like myself) LOVE people who follow your advice and bid early.
Sellers like myself just appreciate it when more than one person bids on an item. If they want to try to out-snipe each other, fine. I'll win every time.

The Mononoke dub was indeed excellent, but it still falls short of the original audio.
Agreed.
There was a nice review of a pre-screening of Spirited Away on the nausicaa.net mailing list. Sounds like Disney put more effort into getting it right this time. They've used talented voice actors (Quoting from the review Daveigh Chase as Chihiro/Sen, David Ogden
Stiers as the Kamaji/Boiler Room Man, Suzanne Pleshette as Yababa
and Zeniba, and Susan Egan as Lin) instead of 'name stars' as they did on Mononoke. Chase was voice of Lilo in Lilo&Stitch. John Ratzenberger (Cheers, Toy Story) also has a roll.
Because other people tend to base what they are willing to pay on what you are willing to pay.
But, with proxy bidding, other people cannot know what I'm willing to pay until they bid above my maximum. Once they've done that it doesn't matter anyway.
Placing a competitive bid early in an auction is just plain stupid.
Seeing the auction process as a competition is stupid. The seller is the only "winner."
I've been playing with auction sniping [auctionsniper.com] clients recently. They work really well when you don't want to be "one-upped" when bidding on auctions
Why not just bid what you are willing to pay? You know how proxy bidding works, don't you?

A driver is nothing until you put it in an enclosure.
A subwoofer is a combination of driver and enclosure designed for greatest efficiency and flattest frequency response at frequencies from 80Hz on down.
A driver, no matter what size it is, is not a subwoofer. Subwoofers can be made with a single 12" driver, with four 18" drivers, or even a 30" driver.
No, he doesn't tell you how to make a driver.
I do like being able to safely open all the interesting attachments Klez sends me. Interesting and funny stuff in there from time to time.
I thought the deaf lucky enough just by not having to hear JBJ.
You call me a "Mac user" like you think it's some kind of insult. It's not. "Anonymous Coward" is an insult. You seem to be one of those.
Bear in mind that I'll already have dual-monitor support with the single video card in the AGP slot, plus USB and Firewire ports on the MB.
No wonder it's faster and cheaper. Probably has no built-in facilities for wireless either.
So, other than CPUs, what am I missing again?

Please.

So someone outbids me. So what.
Jobs says 'jag-wire'
Some chick on TV says 'jag-you-are'
Probably none of us is right.

I'm glad to see they went with talent this time.
Good for you.
The only advantage of sniping is the opportunity to overpay for things. As a seller, I thank you very much.
I'm guessing that would just make too much sense.
