VertigoMotel, I will draw you.

Also, Mak, you should try the fuego takis and let me know what you think.

Oh, yeah, I suppose. (vegetarian, but i have been trying to lay off the cheese lately)
 
I like musicnotless's idea better.

can you somehow put a kitty in the picture, I don't care how or where, I just want a kitty in there!
:p
 
Liquid - I'm loving this Hawking series on Discovery. Have you read A Brief History of Time? Is it worth checking out?

[quote name='JohnnyFoxDarko']Mak, if you think the fajita takis are strong...wait until you try the fuego ones.

Just wait, Mak.

Wait.
until you have the 'drunk munchies'.
[/QUOTE]


I wasn't gonna open them until I'm done with the Fajita bag but since you're daring me ...

[quote name='Rocko']Maklershed, if you're around, when are you coming down here?[/QUOTE]


May 23 - 28. I wanted to ask you ... what are the best non-chain restaurants near the Ft Myers Beach / Bonita Springs area? I'm planning on going to Pinchers Crab Shack, The Fish House, and Iguana Mias but I'm wondering what else I should experience.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']TheRock - have you been watching the Giants/Phils game? :whee:[/QUOTE]

Yup. Great game so far. Too bad the Giants bullpen blew the lead for Lincecum, just like usual.
 
I read it a long time ago, Mak, so I can't really remember too much of it. I can tell you that it has only one equation in it (meaning it's a very qualitative book that's aimed at a market whose constituents are not physicists), so it might be right for you.
 
Its crazy. A lot of back and forth. I think Phils might have it cinched now though.

JFD - the fuego are awesome. I like them a lot more than the fajita actually. Can't have too many at once though .. my noggin starts to heat up from the inside. :lol:

Ahh cool. I want to read his thoughts on space and time but I was worried it might not be digestible by people who aren't geniuses and/or physics majors. I think I might give it a purchase later.
 
Fuuuuuuck, I found a 4 br/2 bath place for $1800 a month, with paid yard work and water, that's really close to campus.

I need two new roomates.

I honestly have no idea. I don't ever go down that way other than to just chill at the beach which is really rare for me to do anyway. Is Iguana Mia really not a chain? I thought it was. We've got a few down here. Maybe check out Yelp for some ideas?

You might have jinxed yourself there. :lol:
 
That Olivia Munn nekkid PETA ad is noice.

If it's a chain it must be regional. We don't have any up this way. And I will check out yelp.

Oh really? I stopped watching about 15 minutes ago.
 
None of the previews I've seen made it all that interesting to me. The previews reminded me of Harper's Island which was absolute trash. I'll most likely be passing on it...are you?
 
Yeah, that's the one that I used. There may have been a small problem with it working on Windows 7, I can't really remember for sure. If there was I was probably able to solve the problem by googling the error + Windows 7.

(Disclaimer: You can do this using Foobar2000 or dbPoweramp easily enough. For those of you who don't use those apps or can't be bothered, read on...)

NOTE: This method does not work for file names with Unicode characters in them (use Foobar if you want to convert those types of files). Also, this will only add id3v1 tags to the mp3 files - you may want to add in id3v2 tags in with a program such as Mp3tag or MediaMonkey.

OK. Here's a little tutorial for those of you who would like to convert Flac to mp3 using a simple little freeware app.

First, if you don't have them yet, download & install the Flac (FLAC for Windows with installer) and Lame mp3 codecs. Next, download & install this small & simple app called All2Lame.
*You may also need Tag (by Case), which is used for adding ID3 tags to files. It can be found on the All2Lame homepage.

http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html
http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm
http://members.home.nl/w.speek/all2lame.htm


Now that you've done all that, open up the program. You'll need to point it to the codecs that you just downloaded. Do this by clicking on "Locations" and then browsing to each one.

Next, you'll want to add a command line (or a bunch or 'em) to the "Switches" box at the bottom. These command lines tell the program what bit rate to encode at. Click the " " button beside it to add new ones. Later on you can just click the arrow button there to bring up whatever command line you choose, for different bitrate encodings. Here's the ones I use:

-b 320
-V 0 --vbr-new
-V 2 --vbr-new

You will want the "Add ID3 tags" box checked, and you can configure that option how you want. (I just use "Copy tags from source files")

Now you just add the files you want converted, choose a command line, set the "Output folder" location, and then click "Encode". A DOS window will appear, showing the process in action. It doesn't take too long.

That's it! After that initial setup, it's a very quick & simple job whenever you want to encode Flac to mp3. Also, if you like, you can click "Decode" to decode to .wav files.

Cheers!
 
Man, building a new computer is expensive. I still need a motherboard, 4GB of ram, windows software a dvd drive. keyboard, mouse and speakers. That alone is gonna cost another $600.
