there's a place on magil road that you should check out if you fancy building your own speaker cabinets, buggered if i can remember the name though... think it's called something something research.

if i remember correctly... you can either buy a whole kit to build the speaker, or pick the drivers and baffling and whatnot seperately if you want to have a stab at chippying up your own cabinets.

VAF Research. My god their speakers are to die for. Just go in there and get a demo. They are in Kent Town on Magill Rd.

After the demo ask for a price tag. laugh

Yup just found the website www.vaf.com.au  Thats some crazy but pricey shit, well beyond the budget of this job. 

I want to spend bout $300 max (ill build my own crossovers).  Parts express look like the go but i hope shipping from the US isnt gonna be too much.  I really just want to build something and have a project to keep me busy (not that i have any spare time as is).

stress, poor diet with a lack of nutrients, or you could of coloured your hair and your having a reaction to it, or some people lose their hair at certain ages through their genetics! But the human head is meant to lose about 100 hairs a day and if you don't brush your hair regularly it can all come out in clumps when you do!

There is also the possibility that you are living in the wrong climate area. As Winter is soon approaching our country, you should really be gaining hair to cope with the colder weather, and malting in the later months of the year to cope with the warmer weather. This could be caused by many things, including diet and irregular grooming. I suggest either improving the nutrients in your diet (I find green grass is good) and groom daily. If this fails perhaps you are not suited to this habitat, and would need to relocate to an area with a climate which is opposite to ours.

Yo Khem,
I'm trying to record a set on Soundforge or even Ableton for that matter and I don't have speakers nearby to use as monitors, so I'm just listening to myself through the PC speakers. Unfortunately there is a lag of about a quarter of a second for the sound. Is there a reason for this and anyway to get rid of this fucking impossible to work with gap?
Thanks in advance,

In the ASIO settings see if you can adjust it. Could slaughter your computer though if you don't have a good CPU or sound card. I'm making the assumption here that you are using ASIO. If you're not theres nothing you can really do.

I'm at work at the minute, I'll double check the options in Sound Forge tonight when I get home and see if there is anything to tweak that might help.

Is it definitely a PC/software lag? You said you didn't have speakers nearby, how far away are they?

You just using your onboard computer soundcard? If so then you can get programs like ASIO4ALL I think it's called. Should turn your normal soundcard into ASIO. Your computer might shit itself if you reduce the latency down too far though.

Initiation innit. Best way to see what the newbies are like is to get them pissed.

You are probably posting because it is the most entertaining thing to do right now. TV will probably bore you and put you to sleep. BTW - You are posting extremely well for someone under the influence. Proper use of capitals and grammar. Well done!

This is why I ask. $200!!

ive never seen them called 1-11's before but:

http://www.reidys.com/index.pl?submit=View_PLU&PLU=4676 $159
http://www.hifix.co.uk/sku.lasso?&item=d2038f5d074ae1027bac1c062630d7f2&rlog=froogle $149.95

U$ + shipping I imagine

The 25 SPs are similar however the cups are not fixed and tend to spin around and tangle easy. The 25s do not do this, and also have an expandable head piece to make it more stable. Add a pair of the velour cup covers and you're set!

Not really a fan of the Technics/Sony headphones, but everyone has their own opinion.

btw - keep in mind you can replace the components of the sennies if something messes up, whereas if you sony/technics fuck up you need to fork out for a brand new set of headphones. i have had my sennies for years and only needed to replace the cable once. in that time i have seen people go through 3-4 pairs of other headphones.

sennies + velour cup covers = teh win imo

For my multimedia design class I have to compare two websites,
one has to have really good design and the other really bad. but they also have to be competing brands/ products.
for example nike site vs adidas site... but cant do that coz they are both quite good
can u think of any competing brands/products where one site is good and one is bad?

Dear Khem,

There is a shit load of Indian people at my work, I've noticed that a lot of them make coffee and tea by heating cold water in the micrawave instead of using the boiling water that is on tap.

Why is this? My dad does it and it's always stranged me out!

Why not just use the freakin tap? It's way quicker!

Umm because they are retarded, thats why!


Quote
Legal precedent has proved that coffee can be hazardous at times. But most people are not aware of the dangers associated with instant coffee and microwave ovens. Remember the following information is a warning. DO NOT attempt to replicate anything you are about to read because you could be seriously injured!

Imagine if you will the following scenario. You place a mug full of water in the microwave to heat it up, perhaps the kettle burnt out. You heat it for a while, take out the water and add some insant coffee… Whoosh! The water boils violently spraying you with superheated water and causing serious burns. After being treated for your injuries you wonder what could possibly have gone wrong. Here’s the explanation for this strange event. The water in the mug becomes superheated, above the normal boiling point of 100 degrees. You add a solid substance for the bubbles to form around and then the water violently boils over. On a stove the receptacle is heated unevenly on the bottom triggering a rolling boil that by convection keeps the temperature at around 100 degrees. In a microwave the container is not heated, only the water is. No circulation from bubbles means the temperature rises to a much higher level. So don’t be tempted to use a microwave to make coffee or any other hot liquid for that matter. NEVER add anything to microwave heated water, you WILL be injured.

Are you talking a tap connected to an urn or just regular hot water tap? I don't use the hot water from the tap because I grew up in a house that had old copper pipes so it was dangerous to use the hot water. Maybe they have old pipes in India? 

Our indians use the kettle but one of our whiteys uses the microwave... my grandma knows about the dangers of boiling water in the microwave but was told if you put a wooden spoon in it the water won't explode because the surface area is broken, so my grandma boils her mug of water in the microwave with a METAL spoon in it!

I'm pretty sure that's what I saw on Mythbusters... oh and microwaving metal isn't really dangerous, it just fucks up your microwave.

i thought it was to extract as much flavour as possible from the coffee bean/tea leaf without burning it.

i know with coffee, the water should never get above a temperature of 85 degrees farenheit or some shit. it would be even less with tea i'd imagine...

But they use steam to make esspresso don't they?


Also with tea, did you know you can't make a good cup of tea on Mt Everest because water boils at about 65C or something due to the low atmospheric pressure.

they do.

i really don't know. i just saw a special on a cooking show about making the perfect cup of coffee. then assumed tea would be even more sensitive to heat than a coffee bean.

green tea or white tea is certainly sensitive to the heat of the water! when making a cup of either its advised the water be 85 degrees or so. i heard the same for plunger coffee.

i think that steam interacting with a coffee bean is different to saturating the bean with water, at close to 100 degrees. if that makes sense Smiley

from a bbc site http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A592832

Quote
. It uses an electric pump to force not-quite-boiling water through the ground coffee at high pressure. It can be used to make espresso or medium strength coffee.

The coffee made in this machine is much sweeter because the water is not boiling. In addition, the extra pressure extracts caramel from the grounds. This can be seen as a brown-coloured foam floating on the surface of the coffee. This is known as crema and is the sign of a delicious cup of coffee.

cool its not steam, its high pressure water!

I have worked at both Coles and Woolworths in the last 6 months and I can assure you that the ONLY difference (in fruit and veg) between the two is the impression given to the customers, which shows that Woolworths does a much better job at marketing themselves then Coles. Woolworths does have a much better range, that's true. But when it comes to behind the scenes, believe me... I was shocked at the lack of standards.

How do people NOT learn how to spell? It's not that difficult. This is a question that has bugged me for many years.

Probably didn't pay attention in school or something. I have more of a problem with people who struggle to correctly spell words when there are spell checkers included in all email and word processing programs. Even this forum has a spell checker, and so does Firefox!

yep. i'm sure that's the case. though coles are renowned for lack of quality in the meat and fruit and veg sections (saw a survey of customer satisfaction on sunrise one morning)

yeah, because the stock they don't they don't have at 4 in the afternoon is certainly going to be there at 3 in the morning.

they used to be open 24 hours a day (and it used to be not too bad). now they are shit, and half of the staff are downies that spend there time picking there nose then going through the stock.

On a similar note does anyone know a good program for converting flv files to mpg or avi files? I know FLV player plays them, but I want to convert them for movie editing purposes.

WinAVI is pretty easy to use and speedy. I use it to convert AVI's to DVD. Not sure about FLV though...

The best way to convert DVD movies to DVD divx/xvid rips is an involved process where you use DVD Decrypter to pull out the native MPEG files, called .VOB. Then you use a program called VirtualDubMod to trim the letterbox black bits and resize to a smaller ratio to save space. Then with the same program you encode it with divx or xvid codec...

It's explained pretty well here among other tutes you will find helpful: www.doom9.org

I'm sure they have more automated tools for you to use as well, I just know my process above is how people like axxo do it and we all know he has pretty much the best quality rips out there!

Dear khem,

I want to buy a digital camera off of Amazon, it works out to be about $500 aussie dollars, which is about $250 cheaper than it is at most shops in Adelaide. If I buy it, will I have to pay any taxes or anything like that when it gets here? Or will it be $500 to Amazon and that's it?

Or what would be even better would be if a shop here could price match it. Do you think any shops are likely to do that, or am I dreaming?

I have never had to pay any extra taxes on any of my international orders from Amazon. I am not sure if any stores would price match with Amazon, however I'd give the camera store near Hungry Jacks on Rundle St a quick call to check.

Ants are pretty much everywhere. If you can't find ants you really aren't looking hard enough. You can buy them but it would be a total waste of money to do so. I'd try leaving a jar/bowl outside overnight with a tiny bit of sugar water in it. This should attract enough ants to start your farm.

by coincidence me and ribbsy have been scouring the net for ants today too.

the boys were given ant farms for christmas last year and according to the instructions the best ants to use are harvester ants, which apparently are the best for tunneling.

in the box was an address to supposedly purchase these said ants online... but of course the sodding website doesn't appear to exist!

when I was about 8, me and my best friend made a shopping mall for ants and in our imaginations these ants were gonna have so much fun shopping and trying on ant size shoes!!

 but then when we had finished making it and tried to catch some ants it didn't prove to be as easy as we thought hehe
 after getting bitten several times we gave up..

Dear Khem,

Seeing as you used to work for Optus and all can you help?

I have my home phone and internet on a 24 month contract. Im moving soon and wont need it anymore. They are going to charge about 300 bucks to can it. If i just dont pay the bill and let them disconnect it from an overdue bill. Will they still charge me the rest of the contract?

If that make's sense...

Thanks

As far as I am aware you can call themk up and ask for the service to be transfered to your new polace and they wont charge you an early term fee, I f you get a rep that is just a fucking dick slapper and wont waive the fee the ask to speak to themanager, that usually gets stuff done pretty quickly. Thje answer to your question though is yes they will still charge you the fee as well as any other amounts outstanding

do you know someone that works for optus still mole?

if so, they whould be able to sort you out without you having to pay a cent.

i've had it done for me through telstra a couple of times through who i've known. i'm sure optus wouldn't be any different. it's who you know after all.

If you don't pay your bill, the service will be suspended. It will take a bit longer for it to become cancelled, but if the service gets cancelled for any reason a cancellation fee (aka pay out the remainder of the contract) will apply as you are breaking your contract. In most cases they might waive a termination fee (depending on who you get) if you relocate, however there are relocation fees and on top of that you will need to start another contract. The cheapest way to get out of it (not sure if it is an option for you) is to transfer the service into the name of whoever is staying in your house. Easy to do if you are leaving a housemate behind, not so easy if you have some random coming in after you leave.

Does boiling water with the lid on wear out the pot?

I was just looking something up and came across this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling

It must be true, because wikipedia says it, so I'm just wondering how many people here have had to throw out their pot because they boiled water in it and put the lid on (idiots).

Yo Khem,

Torrents are making my ADSL2+ connection crack the shits. I think this may be a Modem or Software problem though, because the internet doesn't die completely, but only some packets get through on the odd occaison. For an example if I ping, say, Adelaidemassive.com, Maybe 1 or two packets will get through in a decent time, but the rest will say 10.1.1.1 unreachable (which is my modem if I am correct, as I am 10.1.1.3. Any help would be great though, because I'd like to waste as much of my 160 gig a month plan before I move back to Goolwa.

im assuming that the internet works fine when your torrents are turned off then yeah?


make sure your torrents have a download speed set otherwise they will hog all your bandwidth and stop pages loading
may pay to look into port forwarding as well if you havent done so already

Yeah usually works fine. Since I have ADSL2+ there's no chance of uTorrent stealing all my bandwith (I have about 5500ish up) The port is forwarded and open, although I usually have to reset the router every time it screws up. I've read that a lot of people on TPG have this problem because they overload their connection with too many global peers. Whereas I should practically be able to have at least 300ish global peers, I have set it down to 50 with 10 per connection at the moment, which just makes it a lot slower. Seems to be more stable now though.

If anyone knows if this is a general Australia thing or simply a TPG thing I'd be interested, as the TPG forums get flooded with questions like this. The mods there also seem to have a nasty habit of banning people who say how shit TPG actually are....

Just because you have ADSL2+ does not mean that you could have 300 peers.

Your poor little router is not designed to cope with that sort of load and will fall over. Torrents are an extremely inefficient form of P2P.

I have a 18/1Mbit connection with Internode and I have the same problem sometimes. Example

I use USenet for all my downloads as it maxes my connection but allows me to do other things at the same time, and doesnt need to upload. Last night I was downloading a Torrent at 50K/s and had the newsgroups going, because of the load that the torrents put on the router I lost 50% of my total bandwidth and Websites would quite often Time out.

I would suggest setting your upload speed in uTorrent to about half of what you can, so if you can upload 400kbits/s set the maximum speed to around 256kbits/s so that you dont flood your router. Maximum peers should not be a problem as it wont try to connect much more than 5 or 6.

I would also try turning off DHT in your options. DHT essentially goes out and searches for more peers. This is frowned upon by a lot of private trackers as you are opening up their private downloads to the rest of the world.

Failing that stop using Torrents as they are le gay.

Torrents do suck, but unless you can recommend me anything else which will have what I want (everything ranging from music to movies to games) I will sadly have to stick to torrents.

Research Usenet/Newsgroups.

If you're using TPG you'll have to use a company like Astraweb or Giganews to get access which will cost you some extra $$ but it is so worth it.

Yeah I put my uploads right down because I don't care about other people getting what I have downloaded.

Torrents do suck, but unless you can recommend me anything else which will have what I want (everything ranging from music to movies to games) I will sadly have to stick to torrents.

I hate to say it, but I'm using Azureus and it's better than utorrent. I installed utorrent on my computer and it made browsing so slow that pages sometimes timed out. Then I found out there was a problem with utorrent and nod32, so I fixed that, but browsing went from being ridiculously slow to just slow.

Eventually I installed Az, and now it's fine, it uses heaps of connections and upload and download slots and bandwidth but browsing is still pretty much fast as ever. I also have a multicore processor now so I don't care that Azureus is stupid bloatware that uses too much resources, because at least it works.

I think they fucked something up in the new edition of utorrent or something, it worked fine on my old computer. I may test that theory today with the help of http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=utorrent... I'll get back to you.

I don' think uTorrent is the problem though, because it happened with bittorrent as well. I can also browse pages fine whilst uTorrent is working. At one stage uTorrent was cranking away the downloads at a total of 1500kbs and I could still browse the web the same speed as normal. And then it crash and burns and I have to unplug the router. I'll give Azureus a go but I'm pretty sure it's either my router or TPG being shit.

 Go brunette. Back to the old school back to your roots.

 Dear Khem,

 Discuss the role of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in controlling the body’s functions.
Your post should contain some discussion of how the two structures are linked and interact. You should explain how they maintain control over other organs in the endocrine system. Your post could include a discussion of the effect of the endocrine system on the nervous system. Your post could discuss hormones and their chemical nature. You may choose to include in your discussion all of the organs influenced by the pituitary or you may wish to concentrate on one or a few.

 about 1200 words if you can.

Partitioning.

Anyone had any experience with Ghost or other similar programs? I get the feeling I am WAY better off doing it from fresh via boot usb.

Want to do a few partitions (data, system, table) and all my data is currently on an external SATA drive, which is primarily a data backup/storage. Don't really see the point in running both drives as I have 300G internal, and my backup is 500G.

Can I change my stance to - any suggestions?

Hope I am not going to get in trouble for responding here... But Ghost isn't much good for partitioning. You should create the partitions with fdisk or some other disk level utility and then copy the data onto the created partitions thereafter using software like Ghost.

Why do you want to do a few partitions? Down the track when one fills up but you have space on another you'll end up spreading your data around and then you'll regret it. I partitioned for years then realised how annoying it got over time. Now I never do. Then again I don't run a PC anymore and Linux and Mac handle this stuff a lot better through symlinks or filesystems which can stretch over multiple disks...

in case of format

only looking at 10G for Table, 15-20G for system, so 270G for data, and I have the back up 500G for data also

can't see myself needing more than that for a while

I have seen that go wrong sooooo many times. When you format just backup the important stuff to an external drive and then disconnect it completely so you simply can not format/erase/delete/damage any valuable data!

Well yes, often it is operator error. But why not remove the chance of that completely by not storing data at all on the disk which is going to have filesystem and partition table changes made to it?

Regardless, my argument about not bothering with partitioning anymore stands...

PS. I have worked in PC stores and run my own business where I've dealt with these problems in the past, so when I agree about 'operator error' I am talking about me seeing other people doing it many times and not me doing it. icon_wink

He said he found my name and address in a "friendship booklet" and hoped I still wanted someone to write to! What the hell is going on? I think they found my details in the phonebook and want to get my DOB or other info to steal my identity... but the letter was all neatly handwritten and looked like it might have really come from some lonely person who needs a friend! It definitely didn't look like it came from Nigeria!

And what if my info is in some creepy "friendship booklet" floating around somewhere? And what the hell is a "friendship booklet" anyway?

There's some pretty scum taxi drivers out there though. I knew 3 guys that were in a taxi, they dropped one off at his house, then continued to the city. When they reached the city, the taxi driver claimed that there is a 20 dollar fee if people get off at different places or something. I think the reason they say they have to charge so much for spew is the time taken to clean it more than anything though. Not that it would take that much time to get rid of a bit of spew. Couple of those Wet Wipe things would do a rate good job.

Real Player updated itself? Why was it even installed in the first place?

Right click and save an asf file from redeye. Find it in Explorer, right click on it and select open with, select Firefox and then make sure you tick the box to always open with.

Opera is ok, I used it for a while then went back to Firefox. The speed dial thing is cool but I prefer Firefox. The bookmark thing happened to me, but it is a profile thing and was easily fixed by killing all the Firefox processes and going back into it.

Been using FF Beta 3 and haven't had a single problem yet.

Kurko maybe try the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack at www.free-codecs.com.

That will install Real Alternative for you plus update all your video codecs. These will work fine for Chem Recs samples but now I think about it the .asfs at redeyes are sometime tricky, I use foobar2000 (sick program once you setup your interface nicely, rips fast with lame and more) associated .asf files with it, ticked the always do this option and have had no issues...

I have one. Awesome MP3 Player. Had it for about a year and a half now. Not a single problem. FM tuner is handy, you can use it to store files etc. without software, and can even put music on it without software. Highly reccommended thumbs up etc.

I hope you learn, sunburn can be painful. Sun cream doesn't make you invincible either... be careful!

I don't think they have been retired, even though there is no mention of them under the Product Info section of the Nestle website. There has to be some out there somewhere... maybe you got unlucky and went to all the shops frequented by VC fiends?

BTW - Did you know Bertie Beetles were invented in royal shows around Australia to use up broken pieces of Violet Crumble.

I know it isn't eco friendly but the BEST thing to do by far is to stand under the cold shower for like 20 mins, switching sides every minute or so. Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, they're wank. Cold shower or STFU. It's how I managed to get so brown without suncream or peeling.

To be honest I havent looked for the bigger packs. I'm not the biggest chocolate eater so generally when I feel like it I'm usually looking for just a bar of something from the servo. I've looked in probably 20 different places and there wasn't a Violet Crumble to be found. Considering it's a Nestle product I doubt it has anything to do with lack of supply so the logical conclusion is that they no longer make them.

Maybe they can't get access to the honeycomb due to the lawsuit from the Bee Movie?

For sure, I don't mind a crunchie. But I always preferred the Crumble.

Obviously life can go on without them, was just keen to know if they had been canned completely because when one is sufficiently toasted, it's the way it shatters that matters.

It's higher in sugar, which means the Maillard reaction (which results in browning) occurs quicker, and it's also darker in colour, which results in more heat absorption (like wearing a black top on a sunny day).

most naturopaths work alongside medical doctors and give pretty decent advice and guidance. naturopaths work on using natural remedies and the like to increase people's wellbeing, often its just a case of getting into more vitamins or changing your diet. doctors cant offer that sort of advice, their job has changed from providing general health guidance to now having to work in increasingly busy clinics where that sort of assistance can't be given, due to waiting times.

I've only been to a naturopath once but initial consultation was 1.5 hours which is significantly longer than the 3-5 minutes for an average GP consult "here have a script for some antibiotics". Also makes you fill out an extensive multiple choice questionaire so he has an idea how your health is as soon as you walk in. I didn't really go for any specific reason, just thought hey it can't hurt and I've got private health cover. The live blood analysis is interesting if for nothing else, puts your blood under the microscope and displays it on a big screen TV. Sure he was a quack, but I think they know a lot more about general health than a GP.

If you have a specific illness, go see a doctor.

Naturopaths are usually $70 or so an hour, the guy i've recommended usually takes about an hour to go over everything, say u are my friend when u make the appointment and he might give u a starter's discount.

its worth having private health, specially when u start seeing mysofacial therapists, massage therapists, naturopaths etc - can get reimbursed!

My private health insurance has nearly paid for itself in the last financial year if you include the $100 athletes foot gift voucher they gave me. Given, I wouldn't have done some things if I wasn't getting 65% of the cost back, ie naturopath.

they are probably busy chatting to their workmates or pretending to do work the rest of the day, so the only chance they get to call up is at lunch when half the office dissapears to get food.

Never use a hairdryer to defrost your freezer. There is risk of electrocution, and directing heat straight into your freezer can cause damage to the cooling system causing the cooling system to expand.

Maybe ill just leave it overnight. I dont wanna fuck up my hairdryer.

I hear credit unions are the place to be. My folks have been with Savings & Loans most of their lives and my bro is with Australian...they swear by them. As I understand it there's a lot less fees around the place. The trade-off is less ATM's around (and possibly higher 'other bank ATM' fees) but I have generally seen a credit union ATM at pretty much any place you'd need it anyway!

The way to not get stung by bank fees is to have a budget, pay bills/rent etc online, and take your coin out once a week from your local branded ATM.

easier said than done tho.  my banks decided to start hitting me with internet fees for transferring from acct to acct within the same freaking bank.  gay.  all fees have jumped up and i'm now getting slugged about $25 a month in fees.

wow total gheyness

ANZ has lots of options, they have been moving toward customer friendliness for a while now... more credit/banking options, more atms, more branches, excellent (probably the best) internet banking facilities.

i think i get 6 or 8 monthly ANZ withdrawals, unlimited internet, unlimited EFTPOS.

it's a win for me

Pretty sure it ain't just about the fees though man. I believe they have incredible interest rates on loans and savings accounts compared to banks as well.

Edit: Only info I can find as a direct comparison is US or outdated. I'll keep looking for you Sera. I found this site though, it looks helpful! http://www.banks.com.au
