So if you're into depressing downer ending science fiction, I hear Harlan Ellison is good at that. First time travel messing up Kirk's stride in the 1930s and now perhaps the original Computer with a hate-on for humanity, AM. He tortures five humans because of nanoangstroms and stuff, and the only measure of success is how many humans get to evade this pain by dying, namely 4/5, while the last guy gets it even worse.
But if that's too wordy, you could always play the video game instead:
Yay! An interview for a housekeeping position at a nearby hotel. It would kind of suck to work exclusively Fri-Sun, but... well. Fuck it! I can work around it.
Speakers are one of those mechanically simple things that, as long as you don't damage something catastrophically, I imagine could be repaired.
My best friend has a set of Bose speakers that he's been using daily since 2002 that still sound awesome.
Are you sure it's the speakers and not your audio source?
I am sure of nothing.
I don't have any other audio output devices that could be easily swapped in.
If I plug in some headphones, I'd have to sit hunched over for hours, and even then it may not happen.
The only audio output I might feasibly use is my television. I imagine I could convince it to treat my computer like a game console, and play the audio over an hdmi cable. That just necessitates some pretty heavy lifting.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is, what steps would I take to narrow things down?
What's the setup look like now? What are the speakers connected to, and how?
Basically what you do in a situation like this is isolate the problem. Try different speakers. If you experience the issue, you know it's the audio source's fault (the stereo or PC or whatever) and not the speakers.
A traditional 3.5 mm speaker jack leaves a subwoofer and is plugged into my motherboard. The subwoofer then has 3 normal connections for the left and surround-sound speakers; the right speaker is a different sort of plug.
I don't any other speakers. I will be swapping my second monitor and television and seeing if I can get the audio to come through the tv's speakers instead, though.
Do you have an iPod that you could plug into that 3.5mm jack? I'd say do that and go about your business using the PC as normal.
It could be a weird software issue.
What kind of PC are you on? It would be a good idea to go to the manufacturer's page and download the latest audio drivers.
Self-built, have downloaded motherboard drivers a number of times over the past couple of months (this problem has been on-going for some time, but isn't getting *worse*, which confuses me); I am alone in that I don't have an iPod
I have, for the moment, settled on moving my television over to the computer and plugging it in via the hdmi cable.
If the tv has the drop in volume, then I'll post an update. Otherwise, I'll survive like this for a week or two, and then get the subwoofer repaired, a new set purchased, or something else.
Of course, now I learn that the 6850 won't support using both of the dvi outputs at the same time as the hmdi out.
So there's that. Looks like I'd need a Displayport -> DVI adapter; but as this setup is extremely temporary, I doubt I'll go down that road.

Hey fine folks of [chat] anyone have any experience with the bowflex? I'm looking for a collapsible home gym of sorts to supplement my gym membership (my girlfriend isn't really interested in weight training and we only stay long enough for some walking/jogging).
Wonder if any of you have any experience with it before I head to H/A with this and get the "dur hur free weights" that take up a shit ton of room.
Also, not really looking to get ripped like fucking thor either, just to have less of bitchtits than I have that jogging isn't speeding along for me.
Jogging will not firm you up all that much; you want to supplement with some weights.
That said, bowflex sucks.
If you want to save yourself a bunch of room and still get a full workout in, consider getting a pair of select-a-weight dumbbells. You can do almost everything with those that you need to build up, and they take up almost no room.
I am looking for a bench that I can fold up. I had a bench a long time ago but space saving it was not. Like I said it seems the only pitfall of bowflex is the weight differentials don't match up (150 lbs doesn't = 150 lbs of free weight) and that it doesn't go up to a really high number but neither of those are a real problem.
Outside of that do they work?

Silly Europeans with their over punctuated chat titles.
yo dawg I heard you like depression, so I put depressing characters in your dystopian sci-fi so you can be depressed about the future of people who are depressed about themselves.

I watched Neil Gaiman's excellent commencement speech today. I'm feeling inspired.

It sucks that he withdrew his offer to write an Inspector Spacetime episode.
Also it is super difficult to write a resume for someone who has no work experience.
Can they play up participation in a project at school or college?
Nope, never got a chance to go to college and at the end of high school got pretty much a life changing illness. So that rules out community service too

so i am finding that neuromancer, though the prose is quite impressive in many ways, is not very good at conveying the actual passage of events, and the characters are very flat. especially the main character, who is basically a vacuum of personality.
what it feels like, really, is a cyberpunk roleplaying campaign that's pretty much on rails, and the players don't really know much about the world or what's going on, and they don't have much interest in roleplaying, either, and they're just sort of letting the narrative move them from place to place by fiat
Also it is super difficult to write a resume for someone who has no work experience.
You just go heavy on the educational accomplishments.
Unless they're not educated either.
In which case.
Don't write a resume.
Just kind of show up.
Like here I am.
Here me.
I think it would reflect poorly on a Data Entry candidate if they were unable or unwilling to enter data into a Word resume template. They're looking for High School grads.

You're right, the comma is at best superfluous and at worst misplaced.

Data entry position looking for people with at least high school level diplomas.
I'm assuming they just didn't have applications typed up and this was easier for them.
I'm trying to decide if it's funnier for 'here me' to be a typo of 'hire me', or for it to be a Tarzan-esque grunt.
