where you using the 1/4" or the RCA inputs? I'm wondering if there is something causing a short between the shield and tip on one of the 1/4" inputs. Maybe a piece of schmadda got in there.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Is there any difference between a coaxial digital audio cable and a "regular" rca cable?
Assuming there is a difference:
Is there any difference in quality between using a coaxial digital audio connection and an optical one?

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no," but NoiseDesign or omnis audis would be able to give you a more confident and correct answer.

Well, technically yes. The cables designed for digital have a different resistance than regular RCA cables. You can end up with jitter and some other artifacts with bad digital connections. If you need to use a random RCA cable for digital audio, use one designed to carry video and you should be okay.
As for optical or coaxial, there are different arguments for both. One of the advantages for optical is that you eliminate the possibility of a ground loop causing interference in your signal. The downside with optical is that some cables can once again cause jitter and minor clocking issues due to reflections down the cable. I tend to think it's a pretty level field between the two, it mainly depends on what the problems are that are presented by a particular installation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So. MS SQL Server 2005. I wanna drop some (or detach) tables where the data and log files no longer exist. Can't do it from the SQL Server Management Studio, as the fact that the files are missing causes an error.
Maybe switching the database to single-user mode first might work, except we can't get to the database properties using SQL Server Management Studio.
eta: Managed to find proper SQL commands to do what I want.
ALTER DATABASE mydatabase SET OFFLINE
DROP DATABASE mydatabase

Hey SA, I'd always lean towards the mac side of life. If you can afford just a couple bucks more I'd suggest the refurb mac's from their website: [link]
