lol thanks...the colour is "Brittney Blue" I believe and the bed is just a duvet without a cover on it. It actually took me a while to put my room together

Sold my speakers last week (nothing I've heard can compare to these Grado SR80 headphones) so I took some updated pics of the setup.

My camera is absolutely terrible, so excuse the quality of the pics.

There's nothing "special" about them, they're just really good quality headphones. Infact they're so good, I'm tempted to buy even better ones from Grado.

I wasn't until I got a pair of SR-80s.  Music just isn't the same :happy:

I suppose I was, but not on the scale that I am now thanks to these headphones.

One thing though; they sound so much better with an amp. My iMac has an amplified headphone socket, and it sounds much better than anything else I've hooked them up to.

Once I've got my iPod shuffle, I'm going to be buying a dedicated headphone amp and power supply for them:

Wow, that is really expensive. I really need an amp for my sennheiser hd-580s but that costs a bit too much for me right now, heh. I was hoping it would only be 150, not 300 :(. Even unamped my headphones sound so much better for music than my klipsch 2.1s with monster cables. I tried them on my receiver when I got them over 2 years ago, and they sound way better on that then on the klipschs... Maybe I will invest in some hd-680s (if they haven't been discontinued since I last shopped for headphones) and an amp instead of klipsch 5.1 ultras in the future. BTW your imac looks awesome. I can't really see it from the picture, but I am assuming you have a nice desk too :ninja: (yeah I know that considering that its not really in the oic that is a crazy question, but whatever, I am getting desperate for a new desk). Mind sharing what it is and where you got it? I am in the market for a new desk and everytime I pm someone the desk they have has been discontinued or is only available outside the usa, lol.

Heh, I have an LC III+(LC III with 33Mhz 68030) right next to me. I run NetBSD on it, it's used as a webserver, works quite well. :D

Nice iBook roadwarrior

Thanks. I love this thing. I bring it just about everywhere with me. When I'm at work, I can use it to run Remote Desktop to the Dell so I can do my newsgroup downloads (which are saved on my wife's Blue & White). Too bad the network at school has the required ports blocked, so I can't control the Dell from there.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
