Almost everyone has one of these whiney "I'm leaving Head-Fi" because of something so-and-so said. I guess I get to be unique because I'm leaving for what I said. I received yet another warning and "rule change notification" from Jude in my email today. Jude's been wanting me to leave for...

Quote: Originally posted by sephka I'd imagine that two front speakers and two rear speakers are really enough. With those four, you have the back and front represented. Center and sub are kind of icing on the cake. And after that, it seems kind of excessive. In my experience, I'd...

...seems like a good time to buy a cd player.

Where better to ask this than a headphone forum? Yamaha recently announced their new flagship model to have 9.1 channel surround sound. http://www.audioholics.com/news/indu..._RX-Z9_PR.html I'm just wondering: How many do we think we need? Personally, I'm a little disappointed that we...

I guess this is for the anal Mac guys out there - what's the absolute best way to encode to aac? These damned search engines won't let me search for three letter words.

If you meant VOICE CHAT, then no Trillain does not support that. Instant Messaging is more for text based communication. There are a multitude of better applications for voice communication. As for your two friends hosing their machines just by installing Trillian, all I can offer is that...

Trillian does not require that you have other chat systems installed. It does require a user with an iq greater than six.

Man, I love horror films but none of my friends do. I'm missing out on a serious rash of releases lately: Underworld, The Order, Cabin Fever, Jason v Freddy - at least the home theater is coming along so I guess I can enjoy them next spring. I really need to see American Splendor sometime...

Quote: Originally posted by ph0rk Dr. Hsu has recommended the VTF-3 over his cylinder subs, and this for a living room that, due to a pair of huge unclosable walkways essentially needs a sub that can fill over 16,000 cubic feet with high spl. Thanks, phork. That makes me feel a...

I once spent 20 minutes at McDonalds explaining to a stupid bitch that the coupon was "Buy one, get one free" not "get one free, get another one free." 20 minutes--I'm not even kidding. It required a manager. Anymore, I'll try if the person's nice to me and it's not going to cost me a great...

Quote: Originally posted by Sovkiller The MSN is the best of the bunch for chatting, AIM and Yahell really sucks and the audio is a real shame to begin with, once you chat on MSN unless you get a better one, you will never want to use the AIM or yahell again.....I will give it that...

When AOL wouldn't let Microsoft have access to their chat system, Microsoft sued. Now Microsoft is blocking other clients from their system. Lucky for me, I never used MSN to begin with. If I had friends dumb enough to be on MSN, I'd first question why I had this person as a friend and...

I've been in contact with Tom via email and it really sounds like they're a little more proud of what the PB2-isd box can do than the comparably priced 16-46 cylinder. Unless something else comes up, I'll probably be ordering the PB2-isd as soon as I can scrape the funds together.

Here is what SVS says in their FAQ (The FAQ is huge--this is just the piece on my question.) Please speak up if you agree or disagree with what they have to say. 4) What's best for me? Cylinder or Box SVS? Like so many things in life... it depends. Some folks like the cutting-edge...

Quote: Originally posted by stereth kelly, that slider bar is the same one as the system tray volume adjustment that Ashera posted. There are two ways a program can control volume in windows. One is to adjust the master volume. In programs that do this, adjusting the volume in that...

Ashera Those headphones are sensitive so that they're easy to drive from battery powered portables. What you might keep in mind is that most PC applications have a volume control that is separate from the master volume control of Windows itself. Go to Settings > Control Panel > Sounds...

Sorry Falcon, I didn't even think about that. This machine has about 512MB more RAM than it actually needs to do anything useful so I just didn't notice. That's definitely a consideration for my wee little Laptop at home, though.

So those of you who carry firearms. Which one do you carry? (By the way, if you're pro NRA or anti-right to carry, post your opinions in another thread please. This one's not for arguing politics.) I think the only pistols I really like are too big to carry concealed comfortably (Colt 1911...

Quote: Originally posted by Ph34rful I have 2 SVS 20-39 PC Plus. And I can not imagine having anything else. Well... Except maybe something higher end by SVS. I truely love them. I'm really leaning toward the 16-46 right now. Are there any disadvantages at all with this sub...

So far, I'm liking Thunderbird best (which prob isn't surprising since I'm such a Firebird browser fan). The new Mosaic suite is really shaping up nicely. If anyone else is using Thunderbird, I could use some help with how to set up LDAP, though.
