Hercules RMX / DJ setups Oct 10, 11, 1:43 p.m.

anybody ever use one of these things? www.amazon.com/Hercules-DJ-47804…... it comes with virtualDJ, which i haven't heard of. looks like it was just ported over to mac from windows... is it total bitch/noob software?

or should i just spring for say, TRAKTOR and get the S4 http://www.amazon.com/Native-Ins…

or ableton and some other controller?

i want to start with mixing MP3 and then get SL-1200s and a DJM-400 mixer later if i feel like doing analog stuff.

any suggestions for a beginner's setup?

Credit Unions vs. Banks? Oct 5, 11, 1:56 p.m.

more and more i'm hearing that moving your cash from one of the major banks to a local credit union is the way to go.

can someone with a better knowledge of the subject than myself explain to me why?

i've always hated our banking system so i'm just itching to find a way to stick it to 'em, even if in a small way.

P&S Camera Suggestions? Sep 13, 11, 3:49 p.m.

after having lost my trusty point & shoot i'm in the market for a new one.

i'll mostly be using it at concerts and festivals, so low-light performance and audio quality are important to me. i'll probably want to get all up in the performer's face with my shots, so 10x+ optical zoom is a must. i'll also probably be on drugs at the time so image stabilization and ease of use are a plus. compact is good so i can stick it in my belt bag.

extra points if it can achieve a DOF effect and makes me look like a pro.

i'm looking to spend around $300 USD.

got any suggestions?

i'm currently looking at this one, but the reviews say audio quality isn't that great in the low bass-y tones: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Cyber…

french toast May 25, 11, 6:47 p.m.

"French toast is a food made with bread and eggs. It is a Christmas time dessert in Portugal and Brazil and an Easter dessert in Spain. Where French toast is served as a sweet dish, milk, sugar, or cinnamon are also commonly added before frying, and it may be then topped with sugar, butter, fruit, syrup, or other items. Where it is a savory dish, it is generally fried with a pinch of salt, and then served with a sauce such as ketchup or mayonnaise."

What The Site May 25, 11, 12:05 p.m.

like it would turn it into a sphere with landmarks and stuff poking out. looked really good.

Porn at your house? Feb 28, 11, 6:42 p.m.

this has some interesting statistics, but i think it's bullshit how it talks about how "discovery of internet porn" is destroying marriages 'n' crap. makes me wonder how it factors into real people's lives and how it could actually be detrimental to relationships as it seems to me like harmless fun.

my girl has a sugardvd subscription. she picks out most of the titles and they just come in every week. we watch the stuff like it's cartoons while just hanging out or sobering up after a party.

i can't be the only one who does this... have you ever gotten in a fight with a girl about porn? do you have to hide a secret stash and beat off in secret like a criminal? how did you allow that to happen?

is this a christian/religious thing?

girls, do you find it offensive? threatening? fun? why or why not?

just curious.

iTunes Visualizers Feb 16, 11, 4:04 p.m.

speaking of screensavers, i'm on the lookout for cool music visualizers for mac.

got any favorites?

seen any cool ones lately?

Which would you choose? Jan 28, 11, 3:13 p.m.

and why? if you could have one</> of the following ten magical items:

1. A pot that can produce 1,000 kilograms of any food a day.

2. A bracelet that keeps weather perfect wherever you go and within a 250 kilometre radius.

3. A necklace that allows you to touch books and instantly absorb knowledge from them, without reading.

4. An unlimited bottle of perfume that will make you wildly attractive to the opposite sex (or same sex if you’re gay), which cannot be used on anyone you love.

5. A watch that allows you to reverse time by a minute or less per day.

6. A bell that when rang fixes any one object at a time, excluding living things, within a minute.

7. A chocolate bar, with twelve pieces, that makes anyone who eats a single piece invincible and youthful until the age of 160.

8. A no fuel required, maintenance free, eight person van that can take you anywhere on the planet within one second.

9. A remote control that allows you and another person to change, superficially, into anyone you want; the effect lasts until you decide to revert.

10. An immortal dog that poops out one gold coin every time it goes to the bathroom.

PS3 Playstation 3 Hacked Jan 3, 11, 1:06 p.m.

looks like hackers figured out the PS3's hardware keys, which opens up the entire platform for homebrew developers to do anything they want with it. what's crazy about it is sony basically can't do shit without breaking all of the other stuff that's been released for it. no patches will fix this.

we're just waiting for new apps and stuff to come out now; some people are talking about PS2 and Wii emulators and such...
