I am the fly who dreams of the spider

It says free 40-day trial. Won't it just lock me out after time's up?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

No, it just nags you a few seconds after you start it up. You click close on the window that pops up and you're set for the duration.

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 want one of these. Just not $3,000 want.

The Acoustic Immersion Pod.

This is the pod that immerses a listener in an acoustically optimized chamber, providing an enveloping audio experience with its robust six-speaker surround sound system. Its interior is lined with closed-cell acoustic foam--the same used in recording studios--that deflects, disperses, and absorbs sound waves, creating a personal sound environment that will not disturb those nearby. Providing a frequency response of 20 Hz-20 kHz for a full range of sound ideal for movies, sporting events, music, or games, the system is comprised of five 3 1/2" 40-watt mid- to high-range speakers built into the pod's ceiling (providing 80 watts peak output) and one 10" 250-watt subwoofer speaker under the seat. The system meets the 5.1 standard (the same used in commercial and home theater systems), and the subwoofer's 500-watt peak output makes the padded 17" wide seat resonate, placing a listener in the immediate vicinity of on-screen explosions, orchestral chords, or World Cup matches. Both a 5.1 and 2.1 sub-amplifier component are included to drive the speakers. High-density plastic construction. Red shell with red foam or Black with gray foam. 58" H x 34" W x 36" D. (120 lbs.)

The Acoustic Immersion Pod.

Some version of that has been around for decades. I'm sure I saw them at Sharper Image or Brookstone or somesuch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If I'm developing a subdomain for a website, and I want it to link to the same style sheet and includes as the main site, can I do that just by using absolute links?

For example, I'm creating foo.blah.com, and I have to link to www.blah.com/style.css to pull the style sheet over, right? That's a better idea than making a whole new copy for the subdomain?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, Dana.

The only issue, I think, is if foo.blah.com has a secure section (i.e. the URL is [link] Then the stylesheet has to be local or else the page won't be shown as secure by some browsers.
