is it ever possible to get ANY kind of technological stuff which works totally well and does not fuck up in a way or another? my brother got a new iMac, with 256 extra RAM. i try to install it for him, and bam! 30 seconds after beginning - kernel panic!! (i also got another one on my own computer three days ago, which i hadn't got since november, but that's probably because i tried to put an optical mouse on it... the cursor started to disappear and fuck up, i plug it out, plug it in again, and bam, kernel panic). since then, he hadn't got a second one, but i fear it might come at any moment. i got myself lately a cd player, an amp and hi-fi headphones (i couldn't use my old Porta Pro headphones on this new amp and player since the wire wasn't long enough; and someone was always telling me closed hi-fi headphones were so much better...) too. Koss again and Marantz, supposed to be good brands no? well, i can hear more details (and imperfections in the music) through the new headphones, and they have a pretty cool design and all, but i still really prefer the sound of my old ones... warmer and... i don't know, the new ones sounds "numb". also, as for comfort, there is no comparison, i can wear my Porta Pro for hours and not even notice they're here - i'm getting tired of wearing the new ones within an hour or less. worse, i was listening to Medùlla on this new material and suddenly, the volume got low all of a sudden. then normal again. i don't know what happened, but i noticed if i move the wire of these headphones, the sound fucks up. and it's all brand-new!! and the Marantz player can't play the hidden track in ep7 where you have to rewind before 1st track. just a little detail, and i don't listen to ep7 anymore, but still. anyway, the thing is, i converted Medùlla to mp3 and i'm listening to it on my computer with my Porta Pro headphones now... i don't know what i will do, i can still bring the stuff back to the shop and get a refund within 15 days... but i'm getting despera |

I have heard negative opinion on Koss. I have Koss some ear-bud's that I stole, they have good bass for the price ($15.00), but they could have been better designed, and there's a loud hiss always present. As for the Mac and kernel panic. Well, it's a Mac. On a note, any panasonic stuff that I've had has been very durable, never had any complaints. |

mappatazee > heh : ) some months or years ago, i had bought a (quite expensive) Panasonic portable CD player some months ago to replace my old buggy Philips one. the next day, i brought it back to the shop and asked for a refund. it wasn't practical at all to use at home with this remote, it would start at track 6 or 4 or anything instead of track 1, etc. |

you shouldn't get a kernel panic just from plugging in a mouse, that's seriously fucked up. man i'm sure you've read about what i've gone through with my Mac computers - just hope you don't experience the same |

if they build cd players that last 20 years you won't buy a cd player for 20 years once you got one... so the quicker they break down, the more they sell! |

My electronics have been very good to me so far, and I'm thankful, because God knows I've spent many arms and many legs on these things, I depend on them. This is one of the few times where I can't emotionally connect with an Uzim topic. I can't wait until I can integrate electronics into my body! Like, a CD player built into my arm. The future is bionic. |

Ophecks > i dreamt i was an android once... that would be nice, to have everything "integrated" - if there wasn't any bugs... |

you sound like a troubled man.. im quite happy with all my technology. tis all sorts of different equipment mixed together, and the wires are connected with duck tape and garbage bin binders sometimes, but it works. you are totally right about buying stuff that doesnt work like its supposed to tho, it really pisses me off.. like a battery thats almost dead when you buy a mp3 player, or computers going to buggery almost a week after you did a fresh install |

oh, and i forgot: my n64 also seems to have died on me or something. i get no image anymore. actually it's not even my n64, since i switched mine with a friend's temporarily (mine couldn't play Mischief Makers anymore, for some unknown reason - all other games worked)..... might be since i got a peritel doubler since i got a dvd player, but the gamecube and snes work with the same cable and they work fine... i really don't know well, my n64 controllers were all fucked up anyway but still... i'm very glad Wind Waker included Ocarina Of Time in the bonus disc for GC/n64 emulation... at least i'd still have the best one... i'll miss the other games though, Mario 64, Goemon 2, etc..... |

you don't have to go to another planet to live a life with no technology. it's actually quite a few people i know have done it -- one is just returning to mexico city after spending a year on some remote island in indonesia researching their traditional music composition. it's very easy. i like that technology breaks. i mean, i obviously oh-fuck out loud whenever something of mine malfunctions, but i think i prefer a world with continuously crumbling technology than a perfectly functioning one. |

call me crazy, but I love buggy systems as long as they're not COMPLETELY paralyzing, it's like living with a couple that argues all the time, but instead of getting annoyed you think 'awww how cute, they're arguing' I'm strange. when it's something that can impair how well I use my system entirely, I turn into a lethal killer, not the james bond type, (accurately a swavely taking out the opposition) but more like a mobster (thumping anyone and everything to do with the problem until I get some answers, and when I do, beat the virus down with a metal cylindrical object) I also have a habit of punching my monitor if it ever resets for no reason |

"i like that technology breaks. i mean, i obviously oh-fuck out loud whenever something of mine malfunctions, but i think i prefer a world with continuously crumbling technology than a perfectly functioning one" yeah, I like that too, nothing lasts forever. |
