That's a lot harder than it sounds.

I have two, but have never tried using them in this way. I don't own anything that accepts toslink.

Scott, can you synchronize a stream to multiple AppleTV? I notice that the price is now $69.

PEMDAS is the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Divison, Addition, Subtraction.

Some people want "whole house" solutions. Nothing wrong with the way you are doing it!

That's awesome. I love that.

Stefan et al, I don't believe you can pair a device with multiple Bluetooth receivers simultaneously can you? Streaming one or multiple sources over a LAN to various rooms is what attracts people to Sonos and Squeezecenter. Squeeze is open-source.

(7x7)+(7/7)+(7-7)=(49)+(1)+(0)=50 PIMDAS

I'd guess the cost per CD/LP in this room is $8. Less if I factored in box sets? The average resale value is probably $4. Rough guess. The sound on most is more than acceptable to the point where I really don't give a shit what the bit depth is.

Either/or. I'm streaming to my stereo right now, perfectly content, with shelves of LPs to my left, shelves of CDs to my right.

Bluetooth keyboards are widespread, and you can make phone calls on an iPad.

You should send a demo to Jon Abbey.

I just had an opportunity to read the article. "...wiping the entire machine and installing vanilla Windowsnot Lenovos Windows. Then change all of your passwords." I am fairly certain that this is common practice, and considered replying before reading the article with this suggestion. It seems like a best practice no matter who you are, or where you bought your computer, regardless of manufacturer. I have had to help my mom with her best buy windows laptops over the years. They are chock full of bullshit, so I can see this being an issue for the consumer side, or a small company without a real IT department, and shame on whomever signed off on the deal at Lenovo. I don't think I have anything to worry about though. I'm not in front of the Lenovo today, otherwise I would check for the breach. The laptop was purchased before September 2014.

I'll certainly keep you posted. You have piqued my curiousity.

Good to know. I have no issues, but these laptops have been customized by the corporation. Adware is not a factor here. Until something drastically changes, I will continue buying Apple hardware for my personal use. The Lenovo thing was just an aside because I've been very impressed with the computer. Prior to this one, I had a Toshiba Portege that held up well. It is now five years or so and had no issues when I booted it about a year ago. Both are protected by an IT department of course. I realize if I were tasked with securing these machines, I'd despise them. I don't see any upside whatsoever for the subscription model. It is pure greed on the part of these software companies, and it will ultimately push middle-of-the-road people like myself to extreme measures (shareware, piracy, etc.) I used to really like the IBM ThinkPad. I realized that when Lenovo took it over there were some real problems and quality control had suffered greatly. I was negatively impacted, mostly related to how badly they implemented System Restore, and they caused me to lose a huge amount of data. At that time, I swore off Lenovo never to return. I'm glad I did, as the last 6 months or so of Lenovo computers have been intentionally infected with some of the worst adware ever to be installed on a personal computer (certainly the worst intentionally):http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/02/lenovo_superfish_scandal_why_it_s_one_of_the_worst_consumer_computing_screw.html People are pretty uninformed on the whole. In a perfect world, this abuse (and very poor reaction when being caught) would ensure that Lenovo went out of business. That probably won't happen, however. But I guarantee you I will never buy Lenovo again -- to the point that if my job moved us in that direction, I would start looking for another place to work.

I don't have a ton of apps, but I do have a six year old mbp that I use Safari and various programs within Adobe Creative Suite, iPhoto when I absolutely have to, and that's about it. I recently performed a clean Mavericks install and the machine runs like new. There are always compatibility issues with an OSX update and Apple has, in recent years, decided fuck it you can't please everyone. Adobe has also decide to stand their ground on support of legacy software. Off the top of my head, five years sounds about right. I would advise anyone with any doubts to hold off on updating their OS until all compatibility/support lists have been finalized. I have been in situations before where I updated the night the official update was released, only to be SOL until x.1 was released a couple of weeks later. Shame on me for using outdated software. I prefer CS3 honestly. It does everything I want/need and nothing more. It is my comfort zone. It is old now. I do subscribe to CC. A friend works at Adobe, so it is very affordable with the friends/family discount. It is subscription based. Everything seems to be moving in that direction. Their are pros and cons, as there are with everything. I loathe Microsoft Word. So much so that I will even use Excel for word processing instead. So much easier to format. We have Open Office, but everything seems compatible inside of Google Docs as well. I can't speak to your specific application unfortunately, but good luck. I have a real love/hate with computers. All this being said, I have a Lenovo THINKPAD through work that is the most responsive Computer I have ever used. Very quick and efficient. It is about the size of a MB Air (no optical drive). It runs Windows, which is fine. I'm rarely using the operating system for anything. It runs the software I need it to run very well, and there is very little difference within the software across platforms over the past ten to twelve years.

The new releases end up in the used bin every day of the week!

He plays piano (no organ at all) on Nathan Davis' "Happy Girl" (SABA/MPS) - recorded in Germany Jan 65 Woody Shaw plays on two titles (quintet), the remainder are quartet with LY on piano - I suspect this will be the lineup for the Nathan Davis Quartet material referred to He also plays piano on two early Woody Shaw Muse titles (Dec 65) "Cassandrite" & "Obsequious" - these were originally recorded for Blue Note but not released by the label Thanks rom. I haven't heard any of this stuff. I'll remember this. Are you sure it isn't John Patton? That's an Iron City joke.

Wish I could! Sometimes it is tortuous to even visit this board...

I don't think I've ever knowingly heard Larry Young's piano playing.

Jeb Bishop, Bryan Hooten (trombones), Bob Miller (trumpet), Cameron Ralston (bass), Scott Clark (drums) have been playing under the name Plush Dagger. I don't know if a record is in the cards, but the music has been very good.

You can skip a bunch of steps and buy tomatoes too!
