I used a bithead on my computer with good headphones and FLAC/Apple Lossless files and it was nice, both linux and windows recognized the bithead right away but once that broke my headphones just got plugged in straight to the computer and the amplification isn't really a factor and not enough difference is head by my ears to make me go out and buy another bithead.

Soundblaster is pretty awful now, plus it doesn't even work on linux but my last card was a soundblaster as well probably around '05.

I'm surprised that you don't have access to dsl but do have access to 3G, I live in a pretty rural part of my state but dsl is still available (but my first real hop is 80-100ms) but it is 1mbit. My only other option is satellite internet or purchasing a t1 for ~300/month.

I must say though if the cell networks stop charging so much for access I could see a real use for it as it is much faster than satellite internet and if they encompass the whole country in 3G broadband for all would be more of a possibility.

I really hope it is some sort of mistake, arpnetworks give you a /48 but I believe you are limited to /64 by default.

Even so though tunnel brokers give out /64's and having to pay for that with native support would be rather silly.

They are probably the best option if you are going to run openbsd or freebsd on a vps, though if you are going for linux I would say my experience with prgmr (for a similar price range) was much better than arpnetworks and if you want support/dns you should go with linode.

I wonder if it requires some buttons or something that your nook doesn't have as it installed fine on my phone running cm7

I don't see any reason to fret over a word, it was never compared to human rights violation in the post and in the context they did disappear her from her chosen handle on the site which is just as much as removing her blog as it isn't linked to the other in any other way.

Fabric is just so much easier to catch thats why things like short sleeves and no gloves are so important, it is probably much less likely for your hand/arm to get wound around the machine because the muscle and skin doesn't catch as easily.

But yes you'd end up hurt either way.

People can be stupid, even the smart ones.

That is probably the only reason training is so important.

As someone with light machine shop experience (building things in my ME schooling) gloves are dangerous on machines like mills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_machine) where they are spinning so fast when they catch the glove you will not be able to brake and you most likely will not have parts or all of your hand.

It also says it might have been, which is much more worrying to me than the lack of evidence; because before this sony had no evidence that their network was compromised.

This whole thing seems like a great example of incompetence.

Considering he gave him a good share of the company he may have to buy him out if he goes this way.
