Liese, how thick are these straw bale walls going to be? Because an 18 inch thick straw bale gives an insulation value of R26. That is a lot better than most homes have, but I'm not sure it qualifies as super insulation. Of course, if you are talking 36 inch thick walls, which is not uncommon with straw bale construction...
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

After looking at the systems in person, we went with the Yamaha because our living room is tiny, and the Onkyo speakers would have completely taken over the room. (That, and I know I don't hear well enough for the sound quality to make that much difference.) Next stop: Radio Shack for more cables.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Steph, the directories you want to look in are:
- /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
- ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
- /Library/Application Support/
- ~/Library/Application Support/
- /Library/Startup Items/
Where "~" is a shorthand for your home directory.
If you still can't find it, make sure Safari is running, and go to Applications->Utilities->Activity Monitor->Monitor->Show Activity Monitor->File->Print...->Save As PDF...
If you send the PDF file to me, I can help you eradicate the evil sheep from your computer.

From my perspective, the Ipod is absolutely worth it, but I use it for music and as an extra hard disk. Just for the additional space alone in a compact case...wonderful.

Hey. New board.
ND: To be fair, my original recommendation of the Onkyos came entirely from reading AB comparisons of the Onkyo HTIBs with similar price-pointed systems by people on hometheaterforum.com - a rather uptight sound quality group, generally. The spec sheet reading thing came afterward, specifically since the Onkyo HTIBs I had seen reviewed were generally slightly higher-end than that one. And I was curious.
Not that Jessica's decision isn't personally reasonable - for many (most?) people, aesthetics are more important than sound quality. I get that. And those Onkyo speakers are pretty durn big.
Hey, ND, what do you think of Axiom speakers? Any opinion? Any knowledge? I'm thinking of setting up a 5.1 system using Axiom M3ti's as the fronts and center and QS4s as the surrounds, with a highly recommended ~$150 sub from partsexpress (a Dayton 10"/100W) to take the LFE.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I did. At least, I opened (shudder) Explorer to see if it was modified, too, and it was not. If I could just remember the damn name of the sheep program, I could get rid of it.
(And again, it's not causing problems with my system at all; I'm just tired of it and want it gone.)
I can't find it in any of the logical folders, including the ones that Tom suggested. I have learned my lesson to keep track of stuff I install.

NSM aesthetics as physics -- we live in a tiny NYC apartment, ergo, we need tiny electronics.

You could get regular or large electronics and zap them with some sort of de-bigulator.
