Having just re-listened to the Anathem (Neal Stephenson) audiobook with its really nice monkish music at each chapter start, I really want to listen to some monk music. (I'm sure there's gotta be another name for it, but I can't think of it.) Anyone got a link to free downloadable monk music recordings, or barring that anyone want to recommend some that I can buy?

Edit: Is it Gregorian chants that I'm thinking of? I want polyphonic, male choir, acapella, Latin.

Anybody here had to get past an institutional ethics review board for an experiment? I'm writing a sci-fi/fantasy short story that involves human subject research and I'd like to see some documents people have to produce to get past ethics review boards. It doesn't have to be humans, experimenting on mice is fine too. I'm looking for things like forms that you fill out for the board, forms that you create for the subjects to give informed consent, and justification papers that you submit to accompany the paperwork. It doesn't have to have been successful.

If you're willing to show me such things but don't want it public, you can email me at zandperl-AT-gmail-DOT-com.

Thanks!

I need to buy a PC. I attempted this last summer w/ help from

kelsin, but I never got off my @$$ to actually buy it. I thought Newegg.com sold whole computers, but apparently they don't. I do not need a monitor or other peripherials, just everything that goes in the case. So what do I need to get, and do you have recommendations for which one? I will be installing Win XP on it (possibly Vista), MS Office, Firefox, and assorted games. I want to be able to play Starcraft 2 when it comes out.

I feel like these are the parts I need for a computer.

* Case
* Motherboard (is the processor typically integral to this?)
* DVD R/W
* Hard Drive (100+ GB)
* Video Card
* Sound Card
* RAM (1+ GB)
* USB slots (2 minimum, 6 ideal - are these usually integral to the motherboard?)
* Wireless card (Bluetooth not required)
* Power supply
* Fan

What parts am I missing, and what do you recommend for each? I'm counting on YOU,

sirroxton, and maybe

kelsin since I'm thinking of converting the old box to linux. ^_^ I'm hoping to order this next week, in the same order as a conure-cam.

*sigh* Well, that and that I don't have photoshop or anything on my Mac. (and I don't ahve a working ethernet card either, but i haven't called apple care back yet either.) I want the last two panels of this webcomic, just the lower left corner w/ the hats and cereal box, to blink back and forth slowly (like maybe 1-2 s each, so 2-4 s overall) as an icon.

Anyone *cough*

meredithanne42*cough* know what the yellow line with half-circles over west Texas means? I've never seen it before.

ETA: And while I'm at it, why does it make a difference if a cold front moves under warm air, or a warm front moves over cold air? They're the same except for the stationary ground under them, why does that affect them?
