I prefer briefs myself
likewise, but i found the tyop ammusing so i rolled with it.
checks price
yeah.
but the sound i get out of those is awesome!
also there's nothing quite like active noise cancellation.
-
I literally do not see any point in spending that much money on headphones and then piping the audio through bluetooth.
The bluetooth audio compression scheme sounds literally like canned asshole.
-
90% of the time i'm wired with those headphones. i only go bluetooth when staying wired is inconvenient or i'm in a noisy enough place that the degredation is quality doesn't matter (active noise cancellation isn't perfect)

Status: Trying to get our Windows build slaves (Jenkins CI) running again after some internal network reconfiguration. Windows has now decided Java is A Bad Thing™ and won't let me launch the slave software despite me tinkering with all the security settings on everything Java-related and web-related.
-
Fixed. Despite the pop-ups making me think it had to do with Internet Explorer security zones, it was the same concept but within Java itself!
"Java has decided that Java Is A Bad Thing™ and has blocked it from running."

That's bitten me in the butt a few times…
That is why I turned off automatic updates. I got burned by that on more than one occasion to my extreme annoyance. More than once, the dialog window popped at the precise time when I was hitting the space bar and I never even saw it. The screen just dimmed and everything started closing.
Now, Windows 8.1 pops dialog windows constantly asking you to reboot. Fuck off, I am working. Why don't you remind me of this crap when I lock my computer?
Clippy: "It looks like you are quitting for the evening, would you like to reboot your computer? YES/NO?"

they're currently at 1963 comics according to Comic Rocket.
Maybe they threw a few bonus ones in there, or maybe Comic Rocket is counting the "Click here to see this two-page spread in full-sized glory" links as additional comics. I dunno. All I know is >1900 in four days is a lot of Girl Genius.
I told my son about this great webcomic I'd just discovered, with some trepidation, lest it interfere with school and work. It turns out he's been reading it for a couple of years, although I don't think he's read it from the very beginning.

the balance of probability says by now that should someone belong to the set of people that bought a pair of those they will not be part of the empty set that will eventually receive them...

Hold on, let me fire up Visio and make a flowchart to decipher that.
Or maybe I just need to finish my coffee and re-read it?

one of the creators skived off with the cash.... that's not a product that's going to be a thing.
one of the risks of doing VC, even crowdsourced VC.

I know that, but you phrased it in the most complex way possible. But hey, why use 4 words when you can use 40? ;)

That's not saying much. Even this mannequin doesn't think a thong is comfortable.

Oh no no no young Grasshoppa. VC is investment. Crowdfunding is digital panhandling.
"Hey, we have never brought a product to market in our lives, and we probably cannot even balance a checkbook let alone do basic business accounting. But, if you give us millions of dollars we promise not to spend it all on hookers and blow. For realsies."

Well no wonder, it looks like she is wearing a thong over boyshorts. That cannot be comfortable.

"Hey, we have never brought a product to market in our lives, and we probably cannot even balance a checkbook let alone do basic business accounting. But, if you give us millions of dollars we promise not to spend it all on hookers and blow. For realsies."
yep... that sounds like VC to me.
-

Nope, VC always includes a little thing called "due dilligence and oversight". VC is: "We have never brought a product to market in our life, but if you give us money you get to tell us how we can spend it and it will be contingent on performance metrics and we get to use your accountants who will not let us turn in expense receipts for hookers and blow (unless we go public). Also, if we fuck you, you get all of our IP and assets." That is VC.

Both Word2010 on my PC and Word2013 on a colleague's PC couldn't open them.But Libreoffice could?!

The what now?
I was starting to say something about the online CAH thing that I and my friends on my other forum use. Since I neither own CAH or A2A nor have anyone to play them with IRL. But then I realised I was replying to a days old post saying nothing every interesting so I was going to not post but I fumbled it.

If this mod team ends up being hired by Valve and making Half-Life 3, I think everyone will be happy.
-
Half-Life is dead. Get over it.
The only way you'll see more Half-Life is if, a decade from now, someone starts from scratch and makes a homage/remake from scratch. Like what happened Fallout 3, or Bioshock (of System Shock.)

The rim is mildly fucked. Still usable, but it looks like a small chunk has been knocked out of it.

I guess having a light on your headphones would be quite useful, for finding them in the dark...
