Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Nov 09, 2004 6:19pm PSTSorry for the late start, busy busy.... Well geeks rejoiced today as FireFox 1.0 has been released. Although the browser doesnt really provide any particular thrill for me with 'tabbed browsing' I do still highly recommend it for having a lot of other nice small features. Check it out.
- MS challenges TiVo - FireFox on CNN - The Google IPO hasnt been copied - FCC further deregulates VoIP - Folks pissy over MS anti-spamLastly, Half-Life 2 just cant get here soon enough you know? I'm gonna ask them to release it sooner just to be nice. k?

I was in the market for headphones close to a year ago but never actually bought any. Back then after some research I had settled on the Sennheiser HD 500's. Now.. I'm curious about 5.1 headsets. I really want headphones for listening to music primarily but I'd also like them to function well for games and it would be cool to have 5.1 sound. I really don't know anything about 5.1 headphones or how they work so any info would be awesome-o.
The HD 600's are really sexy and are just within my price range. How would they be with gaming and would I get the effect of something coming from behind me or to the side?

I need a dilemma solved.
Right now it's 3:37am, and I woke up at this time and realised I wanted to buy a console. I've owned a PS2 before, but regretted selling it.
For PS2:
- Tiny. This is good cos I haven't got much space - 250 DVDs n all.
- Cheap online.
- I love my Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo. All over the walls.
- San Andreas which I've heard is the pwn.
- I've always wanted to play Burnout 3.
For XBOX:
- Well, it's XBOX HUGE
- XBOX Live, while subscription fee, is fucktons better. But I don't have broadband yet. If ever.
- Hard Drive and all that fancy hoo-hah.
- Halo 2... which well... I dunno. Wasn't big into the first Halo.
- Still has Burnout 3.
So.. can people from each camp persuade me before I go to make a purchase this morning?

So, after a few hours of pain trying to get the 'Live Communicator' to fit comfortably/right, I'd had enough. I needed another option. Seeing Plantronics made the new, reportedly uber-cool Halo2 headset, I figured I'd dig out my old one.

Alright, I'm going to call upon the math gurus of the shack: the subject is complex analysis.
I'm getting my ass handed to me by this one question and I can't seem to figure it out. It's #4 on this page - http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/~taylorp/3K3asst4.pdf
Now I came up with a solution but it rests upon one line that I know I'm probably making a poor assumption on. My solution is here: http://www.clanoto.com/images/3k03-4_4.jpg
I've outlined the line I'm pretty sure I've screwed up on. My biggest problem is finding a series representation that falls within the appropriate bounds. Any feedback on this one? :(

I called my ISP to inquire as to the problem, and the guy tells me "Oh, well, you'll need to talk to the guys at this number, because they're the department that SUSPENDED your service"
Wha? I asked if he knew why it was suspended, and, of course, he didn't. And naturally, the guys I needed to talk to, unlike all of Adelphia's *other* help center people, only work 9-5, so I couldn't get it fixed last night.
Any thoughts? Why would my ISP suspend my service? I mean, sure, I was running a torrent for quite some time the night before, but it was the WoW beta, which isn't illegal. Is it possible they saw torrent-like activity and just suspended it for that? Hell, can they do that?
