And I would second that, because you'll never catch me with either of them.

Right.

I can't say if I AM more productive, but I sure as hell LOOK productive. Thank you, 3 monitors!

Passive cooling. Think of the average consumer, and what they might try. It's sadly that simple.

Many new receivers have a setup that includes a full onscreen display that will walk you through the setup step by step. I would also agree that a nice Harmony remote should take most of the headache out as well.

Besides the other answers I see here, there is another reason, and that is you generally want to keep your signal path as clean as possible. Less devices, less cables, less clutter... but more importantly, almost all devices will make an impact on the signal (usually not for the better) and so the fewer devices you…

Not generally. In many cases, the "sub" out is just a summed full range digital signal, and its up to the next device in the chain to process the signal. In the case of the external sub, the amp section usually has a crossover in it, and you can adjust the filter for the application. There's more to it than this, but…

There are a couple options, but really all you need is a good D/A converter, and then a separate amp. The D/A can be a relatively inexpensive one, like this:

This man is not wearing a 3 wolf, 1 moon t-shirt. How much more info do you need to know?

I apologize if you felt that I was making that assumption, which I was not.

Oh, that may very well be.. so, congrats... I guess? But you know, as a guy, its sad to think we lost to some plastic and a AA battery. LOL

Agreed.

I can see the point in Joe's comment, and I would also say that sex is a very intimate thing between two people... However, its alot less intimate when (at least) one of the participants passes it out like a new business card.

I appreciate your comment, but I think you misunderstood me. To be fair, my point was that sex was more than just a physical action (like intercourse) and comes complete with mental and emotional parts as well; and that it wasn't fair to say you "know" (as in, on an intimate level) what sex is without actually having…

I didn't say what they were doing was or wasn't wrong... in fact, I applauded them for keeping their virginity until marriage. And I didn't say that someone would/would not want to be with them as a result... but most men, (and correct, maybe not all) will desire a physical intimacy aspect to their relationships…

In a purely facetious way, sure.

With an attitude like that, its very possible that you'll need artifical insemination. Physical intimacy is an important part of a relationship, and the lack of (mutual) satisfaction your choice would create will either keep you single, or get you divorced.

Spit or swallow? Yes. It matters. LOL
