I think chords rubbing against zips was one part of what drove me to wireless headphones. How much I don't miss that 
My next class will consist of me writing a Trollbait blog post about some media thing for 10% of the subject's grade. Does anyone, (in particular Choc) have any media things that have just enraged them in the past couple of days?

The Klipsch S4i and the Audeos are probably the best sounding ones for the price. Not sure about build quality, but there's warranty for that.
Not sure if you can get them locally, but I've had good experience with earphone solutions and they'd be cheaper there anyway.

The existence of media outrages Choc on a daily basis.
Personally I am outraged by News Limited's complete lack of subtlety in their political biases, particularly when it comes to their editorially-proclaimed wish for the Greens to be "destroyed".

This is what I want to do for my next pair. Is there much loss in the audio quality? Will the bass suck like shit? I'm very accustomed to my awesome bass.
Do you mean enraged because the content was good, or because it was bad? Matt Taibbi wrote an excellent article about the case against Goldman Sachs the other day: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-people-vs-goldman-sachs-20110511?print=trueAon said:
The subject matter is pretty rage enducing.
That is a pretty rocking article
Sadly the idea is for me to discuss the way the media has treated an issue and not the issue itself in some form and I'm thinking I might go along the terms editorials like this:

Went window shopping for the phones Agyar recommended to VKS. Couldn't see them but picked up these bad boys instead. $70 marked down from $90.
Ideally, I'd like iPod controls on the think, but I think I'll manage. I picked up an iPod nano just for the gym that's only 8 GB and will make a few gym-only mixes considering I won't get my complete library on there. I have a limited range of music I listen to when working out, and if I desperately need to listen to Yann Tiersen's soundtrack to Goodbye Lenin whilst hitting the weights, I can always grab my iPhone, which was what I was using at the gym for a while anyway.
Never had a pair of phones like that. Hopefully the sound quality is good.
Oh, and here's the top 5 albums I've been listening to recently:
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Sarah Blasko - As Day Follows Night
Tron Legacy: Reconfigured
yOya - Nothing to Die
Four Tet - There is Love in You
evlcookie, it is impossible to listen to 'The Last Baron' and not feel like the goddamn Batman. Put that track on whenever you need to muster up End-game Boss levels of courage. Say for example, when you're about to board public transport. WINK WINK.

This enraged me somewhat. A family earning more than $200K complaining about how expensive childcare is and how they might have to hire a nanny.

Vooks, you clever bastard.
I get this email this morning.
Then later this afternoon these movies arrive at the office.
Amazing. Thanks so much you handsome bastard!
(And sorry it took me so long to work out it was from you!)
Edit: Kirby102 also sent me this...
You guys...!

Fredescu, and everybody else assisting with my transition into PC-ness, I went ahead and bought a monitor.
Can someone let me know if there's anything inconsistent with the build I'm going for ?

I am seen so much of this over the last few days. I think it's one of the few good things that happened with this budget. 'Middle class welfare' is a joke and should be abolished. For one it's their choice to have 2 kids and consider a third, and, seriously, if you can't make ends meet on $200K/year it's time to have a good look at yourself in the mirror.

Fixed. Now costs 105.
correct me if i am wrong but the AFL match Geelong vs Collingwood is not live in Sydney tonight not even on Foxtel
so people in Sydney, where the AFL want to expand can't watch the biggest match of the season so far live?
they need to get their priorities right. I can understand FTA to an extent (although they should put it on FTA) but not having it on foxtel, wtf?

So according to them, they pay $3000 per month in tax and $2000 per month in childcare. That adds up to $60k per year, leaving them with $140k in their pocket. If Government changed the $7500 childcare rebate, that would still leave them 132.5K per year.
Why are they crying poor?

It's just like 29. Except you are OK with going to bed early on weekends and bits of your body start breaking and don't heal.Stackboy said:
Yeah, when I looked at the numbers, they'll have nearly $12k a month after tax and childcare. Even with a mortgage of $6000 a month they'll have $1500 a week for food and bills. I think that'll cover it.Choabac said:
Man, it's been a bad day today.
I've started to come down with a cold, I forgot to bring my laptop with me, Thunderbird on my work PC went and forgot my e-mail account for no apparent reason and I had to set it up again, I needed to sneeze while chewing lunch and didn't have a napkin nor tissue (I was a little lucky here that I managed to swallow most of it just in time)...
I guess I did get a good mix of dogs and was able to clear out a few rooms of my second run through Find Mii on the 3DS, though, so that's one good thing.
Man, I wish I was superstitious so I could just blame this on it being Friday the 13th...

Do you hate your kids? I suppose you send them to their room when they're naughty rather than having a conference where everyone airs their grievances.legend166 said:

I have a robust contempt for my high school. It is so concertedly a money-making enterprise, and the money (stupendous amounts of it) goes into more and more fucking unnecessary buildings: gyms, theatres, computer labs. I can tell that they are irritated that the school isn't situated by a river, because they'd love nothing more than to funnel millions into rowing.
If I have kids, they'll go public. That said, I will find the best goddamn public school there is.
The only good thing about private school is that it creates an option for families to choose to pay for their children's education, hence lightening the burden on funding for public schooling. Because of private schools, there's more funding for public schools.

"Middle class welfare" is alive and well until they bin the baby bonus, get rid of negative gearing and increase capital gains tax to match income tax.
Not surprising to see The Australian reassuring households earning 150k+ that they aren't rich and are justified in expecting the government to subsidise their lifestyle. After all, Howard told them they were battlers.
In further expected news, Abbott yet again demands the government call an election because the Liberals weren't voted in last time and not governing for two more years is boring.
You dont need private schools anymore, Chaplains have officially made all schools religious in nature!

Deadline beaten like a red-headed stepchild. Early beer o'clock, right?
I live in the capital of Bogan Australia. Damn straight I'll be sending my kids to private school. It's the only hope they have of not turning into a ute driving, Triple M listening asshole with a mullet and five kids by the time they're 20.

I went to a private school and I turned out fine. Socially oblivious, pretentious, self absorbed, relatively talentless (but enough so to acknowledge it... in a self-absorbed kinda way) and just that little bit racist. But, still, fine. I don't drive, don't like music, have a sweet fat white-man afro, and have no long term child bearing goals!
