oh and have I mentioned how awesome the E55's HID's are? Holy hell!

Awwwwwwwww, Penguin's first HID's, how adorable!

(had to do it )

partsexpress should have reliable cables for cheap.

dammit why didn't I remember to think of PE when I needed a digital audio cable yesterday. I went to Best Buy and bought a damn monster cable for $45 because that's all they had. I hate monster. Could have bought a Dayton cable on PE for like 12 bucks.

return the shit to b.b.

I didn't think they'd let me return something after I had to completely mangle the packaging to get at the product. Not sure if I still have the scraps of packaging or not.

SO I go to check out this SHO, and the guy told me the only rust was some small spots starting on the rear quarters. No big deal as every Taurus rusts there. I get there and they is no fender lip on either side of the car. So now I'm pissed and the guy gets pissed at me because I offered him basically the price of scrap, but really, that's all that it's worth. It's never had it's 60K service and it's over 120K, so it should be on it's second, so yeah. . . What a waste of time.

I did manage to find a nice T-bird TC that needs paint and a little bodywork nearby though. Gonna see if I can talk the guy down a couple hundo and I think I'll grab it.

A SHO that has been taken care of so well I wouldn't want even for the price of scrap.

I was going to part it out. Only reason I made an offer.

I should've realized you weren't crazy. Parting out makes sense.

Whenever I hear of an SHO I think of a Conan O'Brien skit where he went out into the street to show everybody his car, which was an SHO. He said something like "And this is what I call the ranch" as he opens the hood, "because this is where the horses live." Haha it was so funny.

Speaking of funny, if anybody has seen Total Recall, there are two parts at the end which are frickin' hysterical. I watched it today, hence the thought. There's the part where Ah-nald is walking into this room of pillars just stacked with bad guys with guns. He has this wristwatch-like device which makes a hologram of himself, so he walks the hologram in. Of course the bad guys surround it and shoot it, but the hologram remains unscathed (how they don't shoot each other in the crossfire is beyond me). Arnold's hologram laughs, then the real arnold comes out from behind and shoots a bunch of them. Some escape. Then it shows three guys looking around, when Arnold comes out from behind a pillar. The three guys just look at him, and Arnold says "Do you think I'm the hologram?" Then rears back and laughs. The three bad guys look at each other, kinda bewildered. Then Arnold cuts off his laugh and says "I'm not" and shoots them. oh my jeez I busted up laughing so hard.

The other part is more in-depth to try and explain the joke, so I won't. I guess just know that a bad guy party is planned for later. But it's when him and a second in charge bad guy are fighting as they are riding an open elevator going up. Arnold has the guy dangling over the edge, holding onto him by his arms, when the elevator goes up beside a rock face and the bad guy's arms get cut off between the rock and the elevator floor. Obviously the bad guy falls to his death while arnold is still holding onto his severed hands. Then he throws the hands out of the elevator back toward the bad guy and says "See you at the party."

Oh and a scene where Arnold uses a random guy on an escalator as a human shield, and the poor guy gets hit about 143 times with bullets, turning to face him different directions a couple of times. Then Arnold throws his corpse at the bad guys.

But mostly the movie was just terrible special effects. Oh man when anybody's face had to be changed due to bulging from lack of air, it looked incredibly fake it was ridiculous. Like the B movie it was I suppose, although I thought it was billed as a huge action movie back then.

Considering that the sales guy told you that is the cable that you needed but it isn't the right type they ought to.

Isn't there a program that analyzes your MP3's and tells you there quality?

What do you mean by quality? Current encoding level perhaps and some other parameters, but not really a quality analyzer.

Audacity does

audacity is what I was thinking of. Thanks peng

Still can't tell the quality, just current encoding.

Take a 128k and convert it to 320k, Audacity will tell you it is 320 when in reality it is a 128.

Hey any of you guys paintball? I'm looking to upgrade my A5, what are some good sites for parts?

My goal is to get my audio on the verge of organization before school starts.

This includes...

Having all FLAC files available in MP3 format as well

Being able to organize all my folders by Artist>Album>Song

Get Foobar to not recognize the MP3's if there is FLAC available (I am sort of doing this manually by creating 2 MP3 Folders)

Ridding my collection of inferior MP3's (Ex: tracks < V0 or 320kbs)

K maybe audacity wasn't what I was looking for.

It was a program that would take all the mp3s you told it to look at and it would list 128-320 or whatever and you could set MP3's below a certain quality into red so you could pick them out

No program can truly tell the quality only the current encoding.

Squeezecenter displays this while it plays and can easily sort the way you want.

And that intruder is the only somewhat decent looking car in that group. Nice scenery though. Where did you drive to Tom?

$400 on a Sunday? Where'd you go?

the red dragon.

I paid for a squad of friends I haven't seen in a while

I had 4... or 5 wonderous punches though, and then walked across the street with one of the guys to ruduolfs and had a horrible martini.

this weekend.... well sunday particularly was just greusomly brutal on my emotions, and all my friends. We tied one on and let go, and untill I'm laid off, I have much more $$ than all the college poor guys so I thought it would be somethign I could gift to them.

$400 at the dragon is making a statement, you should not feel 100% today
