Gw lagi suka sama seorang cewe. Sebut saja inisialnya N. Yang menurut gw istimewa dari dia adalah orangnya baik, enak diajak ngobrol, anggun, dewasa dan manis bgt.

Let's cut the story short.. Gw udah telfon dan BBM dia alias pdkt skitar 2bulan. Awalnya dia cukup responsif dan bahkan gw sempet ngaku gw ada rasa suka sama doi (bukan nembak bilang sayang or cinta, bukan yah, cuma pgn jujur aja soal feeling gw)

Blakangan ini si N ini seperti agak menjauh. Bbm jadi agak lama balesnya atau kdg pendek aja. Apa sebabnya ya doi bgini? Gw bingung:

Apakah dia pengen nguji nyali dan kesabaran gw buat deketin dia?

Apakah dia emang ilfil or gasuka sama gw dan pengen menjauh dari gw? Tapi doi kdg2 masi suka crita walopun gak sesering dulu.

Gw bingung apa yang gw harus lakuin? Nekat terjang terus? Or give up? Jujur gw emang suka banget sama ini cewe

Okay so I feel it's time to replace my 5 years old 42" plasma with another, better, newer, and bigger bigger plasma.

My budget is limited to $1200 max for this upgrade. Then I think it's good to have some opinions from your side.

So I might give Samsung Plasma a try. But given my budget, I need to make some choice and compromise between 51" 3DTV plasma (costs around $800), or a 60" HDTV plasma (costs around $1200, but certainly no 3D)

Given the choice, and you could pick only one, which one do you think is better? Bigger screen (60") OR smaller with 3D (51").. I wish the 60" has 3D so I can pick easily, oh well...

Please share your opinion, thank you..

I am 29 years old single male and she's 35, divorced with 2 kids. We've dated for about 6 months now. I can feel she likes me too, and so do I. We feel fit to each other.

But sometimes we just have this argument about her ex. It feels like she's still in doubt to be open about our relationship, and whenever I push her to be open about us, she's upset. She's not wearing her ring anymore, in fact she always wear the necklace I gave her AND she also has introduced me to her kids. Well that's a good sign of acceptance, isn't it?

Now the problems, and main questions are:

1. Why she still seems reluctant to be honest about our relationship? Yep she's legally divorced, I checked.

2. It also feels her ex still not fully let her go. She tells me that some time the ex still try to call/text her, asking about the kids. He even still calls her [honey] .. WTF? What should I do about him?

3. Do you think it's okay if I make contact her ex? I really want to know both sides of their (failed) marriage tale? And I really want him to let her go. Is that wrong?

4. Give me general tips about dating, or even maybe marrying a divorced woman with kids? I'm trying, but it's really hard to not get attached to her. She's just adorable woman, and mother.

Okay, so I've just got my iMac (No hater or basher please, because I love windows too)

Now, the internal speaker is just mediocre. I've decided to purchase a pair of decent speaker (2.0 or 2.1 system). My budget is ranging from $100 - $200. I have a few candidates, which is:

1. Harman Kardon Soundstick III

2. Creative Gigaworks T3

3. Edifier C3

4. Hivi Swan .. the active 2.0 bookshelf one, I don't know the product type

Well .. I don't know .. that's what cross my mind now, anything else you can mention with that price? Which one do you think has the best sound overall? I'd use it for music (smooth jazz, audiophile) .. and some movies or gaming. I know you might say I'd better listen to them by myself. But, I need some reference from others. I don't want a speaker with overwhelming bass

Or if you have another brand of speaker, please feel free to suggest me. 10 POINTS for best and most helpful answer. Thank you :)

Along with the growing collection of my bluray movies, I'm still using my ps3 for movie playback, of course I only use Bluray disc for it .. I have separated DVD upscale player for my old collections, because I know PS3 is notorious for mediocre upscaling capability

But .. that's not the case with bluray source. And I'm on the crossroad now, whether I need standalone bluray player? or should I stay with my ps3?

How is PQ/AQ of PS3 as bluray player, compared to another brand like Pioneer, Panasonic, Samsung or even Sony itself?

Is PS3 performance on par /better compared to those players? I need your opinion in term of PQ/AQ .. Of course PS3 is a power hog (80watt on movie playback) .. but the capability is undeniable, or PS3 is just jack of all trades, master of none?

If I'm going to buy separate bluray player, I prefer panasonic, how do you think? Will I notice improvement on PQ/AQ compared to my ps3?

I'm not ready to buy those hi end player such as Oppo .. so just stick with typical brand mate :)

Thx for your opinion .. 10 pts for best answer

Okay .. now i'm not totally newbie on home theater setup .. My knowledge is enough to setup my rigs on maximum performance

But I have a nagging question about DTS HD-MA and Dolby TrueHD on bluray

I have a beautiful Yamaha DSP-A1 which was the best sound processor i think .. until now, in terms of hardware quality

And yes, it only has toslink/coaxial for digital input .. but believe me or not, it sounds better than my brother's receiver, which is Yamaha RX-V765

Why we just can't bitstream DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD by toslink? Bandwith problem? I look through wiki that Toslink can stream up to 125 Mbps .. that's highly outrageous for audio bitstream, why it is said to not have enough bandwith to stream Hi-Def audio format?

Because most of today's receiver cannot match the quality of older receiver, which has more quality on amplifier section. And i proved it with DSP-A1 .. I cant find newer receiver which can match with this.

So I had to buy bluray player with analog output, and I still can enjoy lossless audio from my bluray collections

My point is ... does Toslink really have no capabilities to stream HD audio? Or those marketing boys want to screw us up and make us buy newer equipment?

Because you know, near Bluray quality video can actually be fit on a single DVD (MKV video with lossy audio, but still maintain amazing video quality)

When i stay on silent room, on my bed at night, or just on closed room, or even when i close my both ears with my finger, i hear this slight ringing on my ear

Imagine it like tube television but with muted sound .. it's a high pitch but not hurting, but it's there

Does everyone have it? or am I having tinnitus? should i really worry about it?

Because it's not there when there is sounds around me .. only when it's really silent

Now how if you have

f(x) = (x^2 - 7x + 10) / (x - 5)

what is the value of f(5) ?

and please tell me why?

what will the graphic of the function look? will it be parabolic? or should it be linear and identical to f(x) = (x - 2) ?

If so, what/s the point of that function? why dont just write it down to f(x) = x - 2 ?

I have a plan to buy a pair of diamond 9.6, the store offered me a good deal.

But before I continue to bank and withdraw my account for it, can somebody here give some review on this speaker?

What's the pros and cons? how's the sound character..Is it overall a 5 star floorstander?

Please somebody that has listened to this speaker or own this diamond..

I really want to make sure that this is a DIAMOND quality speakers

Thanks..10 points for the most objective and comprehensive review

if there's 2 numbers, call it A and B

call the numbers if:

A+B = A/B = A*B

Best answer is for one who first appear with answer with good explanation..it's a challenge, not a question..so come on :)

Hi..i want to ask something about jazz. I confused about these categories of jazz..

Nu jazz

Smooth jazz

Bossa nova jazz

Contemporary jazz??

Sometimes they just sounds similar and some jazz artist classified on some categories

Which one has the "heaviest" character (most not easy listening)??

Thanks for your answer. i would appreciate it

I like Kirk Whalum, Kim Waters and Paul Brown, also a few other artists. What's their jazz categories?

And who is your favorite jazz artist? thx

I saw a wharfedale diamond 9.6 - cherry finishing on a local electronic store. but when i opened the grille. I saw the dust cap (round cone on the center) of one speaker is deformed and a bit flattened. From what I saw that would be unrepairable. I simply cannot make it smooth rounded again.

Now they sell this excellent pair speaker for 425$

Is it really worth the money?but does the dust cap damage actually reduce the sound quality?

For note..nothing else is damaged or defected but deformed dust cap

Please answer my problem here. i would be grateful
