Interesting but the big question is: How do they sound?
I only use them for listening to my LP's. And I think it sounds great.
But then again, my main goal is to "catch" that sound, that those records back then had, when it was played on the different music systems(?), back then.
I think I've posted this before, but if you haven't seen it, I have these as my arrangements:
Speakers: http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=446 (although in a different color)
Beomaster 1900-2: http://beocentral.com/beomaster1900-2
LP player: http://beocentral.com/beogram1700 (slightly different color as well)
Nice setup.
I need to get some new floor speakers. I have 2 DCM kx12s which were great 15years ago but sound muddy now so I guess my tastes have changed. I also have 2 technics SL-1200M3Ds for vinyl and am in desperate need of a new amp too. I should try and sell my speakers and Amp and get something better.
Sweet setup:nod:
You should post a pic of you listening to your classic setup!
Reminds me that I need to post a pic of my new office.
Something in particular you have in mind for replacements?
I think that the next thing that I will swap out, is my turntable. Although I'll try to keep all the different things from the same time of manufacture. Which I have accomplished except for the speakers. Which are from the 1972-74. where as all the others, has been manufactured around 1978-1982.
I dunno, maybe I should just focus on the speakers. I've been playing with the idea of getting a B&O CD player. But that would screw with the manufacture period, so I'm not sure about that. The first one, developed and manufactured in 85-86 (which fits the timeline okish), is too dependent of a certain B&O system. I'm not sure, maybe I'll give it a chance anyway.

Yup, no kittehs allowed in the office. Dogs either, to be fair.

IT's not as hard as you might think. Turning off alerts has made it much more doable, I usually don't think about the forums if I am working now.
Yeah fair enough. I don't go on the forums when I have a lot of work to do.
I am the same I will visit forums when there is a lull in classes and students are doing labs but other than that I don't even think about it.
Taking almost a week off did well in helping me to break the cycle :p
Heh I imagine it would.
I like it how most people take a month or so off, kegs takes a week :)

Yeah I guess taking a month is not something that a (wo)man in green can do.
Are you calling me a woman?
Tapatalk is fine, just need to not use alerts.
Well you are not a man :)
I was actually making sure that when talking about mods I took into account there are female mods as well. Given you called me sexist about referring to the WD as a male.
I hate posting with Tapatalk so it is really a non issue for me. Something about typing on a phone still just doesn't work for me. And I don't think I ever had alerts on because my phone would never stop making noise that way.
Yeah I think for anyone but kegs having alerts is a bad thing :)
Silly kegs he just had to be more normalized and that fixed him.
I can be normal now?
I don't like typing on the phone, but I don't type terribly fast on my keyboard anyways so it's not a huge time difference.
I imagine typing on a phone would be much slower for me compared to keyboard.
It is still slower, but with swype it is actually fairly fast. I've gotten pretty decent at typing on my comp now though. I was never any good in high school though.
I got good at typing on the computer during university when I had to output ridiculous amounts of work. MSN messenger also helped a bit.
These forums have been my biggest help :p
I imagine they would have been :D

With all the OT posting it is a small wonder that you guys aren't setting world speed records.
Speed posting = sign of release?
Mantis should pop by the DoE to see some real speed posting ;)
You are a little bit late on the sign of release train.
I am making up for lost time?
So when will any of you be able to actually play the game, once it's released?
Cakes is like the rest of us and not till 12PDT it is you EU bastards that will be finishing Normal before we even get the game installed.
No, what I meant was when you guys actually would be able to play? Do you have friends, family or work that gets in the way? Or can you play as soon as it's release?
Well it won't be released till 3am here so i will probably go to bed normal time and get up and play a bit on tues but I have to work on Weds after that I am golden.
I have a plan. An evil plan.
I have a plan. An evil plan.
Headline in April Reads "CO man locks family in attic to play D3 at release" news at 11
Okay....maybe not that evil.
My wife works from 7-noon on weekdays. Normally I go to work after dropping the kids of at school. I won't be scheduling anything before noon that week :)
I think her job ends on the 24th though, so it will be a short lived plan.
*goes and posts kegs plan on his FB :)*
Sounds like a great plan kegs!
I reckon I got about 48 hours of gaming before I need to focus on reading for my exams.
I am not sure how it will work out for me, I'll probably be on about 2 to 3 hours after it goes live.
You can play that afternoon Cakes, No? It goes live like 2pm for you I thought.
Yeah but I will have work most likely :)
Till what time? I should be on 7-9pm your time. Since I am not staying up for release but getting on in the morning. But as I am typing this I forgot I am not talking to anyone till I complete the game.
Anyone who posts my plan on my FB gets banned.
Heh. I will definitely be on at that time. I imagine I will be on from 7ish until 1 amish
I'll probably be in the mumble lounge at that time, I think.
I am not sure if I will log into mumble, want to avoid spoilers as much as possible through Normal.
I don't know anything about the individual acts.
looks like we are nicely paired up Muggs :)
Heh. I will definitely be on at that time. I imagine I will be on from 7ish until 1 amish
I don't think the Amish are allowed to play D3, seems unfair to be on them.
that is awesome, didn't even think of that.
I'm going to avoid mumble/forum whatevs. Until I have completed Normal at least.
I don't think the Amish are allowed to play D3, seems unfair to be on them.
Nice catch Kestegs ... totally missed that one.
I would expect to see everyone online from at least Thurs or possibly friday on and that is definitely when I will be online including the weekend.
I'm pretty sure that I have to work the whole weekend.
Not that it matters much, most of you guys that I talk to, are on a different server.
You could always play on the NA server
I thought about that.
I don't really think it's a good idea.
We were just having that discussion on Mumble and there are definitely more than a few people who will not be playing with during the launch of the game. SK, Kori, Kaydee, Farxy, Loriku, to name a few. All the NA server definitely seems more active on the pre-release mumble.
Either server you play you will miss out on done awesome people to play with, so you might as well play your natural one.
I plan on eventually making an EU character so I can play with my EU friends. Will probably wait a bit so they can twink me out properly :thumbsup:
Ok, I'll go Korean then.
I'm telling your gf!
I may do that too, Muggs.
How?
I'm not on stalkbook!
You wouldn't be able to find her!
And no, this is NOT a challenge.
You really need me to answer that?
You'll get to play with me which is nice muggs
Yeah we get the Aussies and Kiwis but Autti and I were talking about it and it is just him and you on the server. And I will be sure to be up in the AM here so I can get some cakes gaming time in.
Thought we had another Aussie, but maybe not.
We've got a bunch in the spf.
I think thenix signed up for mumble, not sure if he's been on or not though.
I haven't seen anyone on as of yet. Of course I have only been on 1 time with kestegs being present but not talking.
Well you weren't talking either, along with everyone else.
I was speaking. You said that you could only type and if you were going to type you will just stick to the forums.
Really? I never heard you talk.
I am talking on Mumble a lot unless I log on during class to chat. But a majority of the time if I am on I am talking.
I don't see the reason for getting on there if you're not talking :p
So I realized that something was wrong and my audio wasn't working except for Robo *****, so people probably were talking I just couldn't hear them. Fixed now.
ah that makes sense. What did you type that got ***** I thought that would be voice, but why did it get censored?
You know, it's a dog. That's not male ;)

LOL kestegs.
thanks stegs, I was thinking more a lady of the night
Is that even censored? Whore
nope.
A bit, yeah. It's fairly derogatory and such. Of well, we get some words I guess, can't censor everything.
But you still censor ***.
Weird.
Because it's offensive and derogatory the was people use it. It's unfortunate really, as it doesn't really have to be.
That's my point.
It really doesn't need to be used in a derogatory way. Sadly it is though.
Where as "Whore" is just plain derogatory.
True, but *** touches on a far more sensitive issue than whore.
whore is no less offensive that b****
Really? I think that they are essentially as offensive is each other.
Witch with a B and bore with a WH are the same in my book. The only word stateside that woman truly hate is Hunt with a C.
Yea, it's hard to explain why though. I keep trying to put it to words but I can't.
yeah bunt (Monty Python reference FTW) is really a nasty word, which is strange given how nice the thing it is referring too is :)

I concur. The implication is wonderful, but the word got a bad rep. Which reminds me, I once read that the Polish language has the most words for the anatomical organ in question ^^. No idea how did they determine that though and really can't remember what was the point of article... Guess I'll search for it later :P

Wouldn't it blow your own mind if you were that sane?
I hate math.
I'm doing an assignment which isn't really a real assignment.
More a description of a certain subject that you need to share with the rest of the class. I'm doing this at the last minute (I know). But it looks like I may not have been in school the day it was taught. I can't find my notes about it and I can't seem to get any help from my book. It irritates me to no end and I'm sleepy.
Sounds like a stupid assignment. I love math, but not garbage like that.
What is it about Skjolde, I might be able to help :)
It's a bit too late now. About to go to bed:)
EDIT: But my assignment was to write about
-differentiation of the exponential function (If it's translated sorta correctly)
I can find some examples on the interwebs. But it needs to be easy to understand. Meaning I haven't really found any sources that explains it in a easy understandable way.
The reason for this is that the thing I write has to be copied to all my other class mates, and act as sort of notes on that particular subject. If that makes sense.
Ok, fine don't use my help :)
You're more then welcome to help me. I'm just saying that I'm going to bed now. So I will not be checking the forums much longer and I won't be working on the assignment until I wake up.
The only math I can do is math with regards to theorycrafting min/maxing in D3 :P. And even then, only the most basic of stuffs.
Good luck! @_@
Well unless you tell me the problem I can't help can I?
It's not a problem like that.
I have to explain how I differentiate a exponential function. Just in general.
And I guess my problem is that I'm clueless about it.

From first principles? I can do that for you.
I guess? Mind you, this is low/mid level math only.
Last post for today. Need my 5 hours. I'll be looking forward to your reply Cakes:)
ok no problems, I assume by exponential you mean eX?
Ok this is more difficult than I remember, and I wont be able to type it all out, but I can get you most of the way :D
f(x) = a(x)
From first principles the derivative of f(x), f'(x) = lim(h->0) (f(x+h) - f(x))/h
=> f'(x) =lim(h->0) (a(x+h)-a(x))/h
=> f'(x) = lim(h->0) (axah-ax)/h = lim(h->0) ax(ah-1)/h
now x is not a function of h and can be brought out of the limit expression leading to
f'(x) = ax.lim(h->0)(ah-1)/h
now this is where it gets complicated.
lim(h->0) (ah-1)/h = ln(a).
I can prove that from first principles, but it is difficult and requires understanding of some other differentiation rules (namely the differentiation of an inverse rule). Anyway all said and done the answer ends up being
f'(x) = ln(a).ax
Mmmm min/maxing Diablo. ... I'd write a paper on that.
Yeah that would be fun :)

I once wrote a paper on Diablo. It was supposed to be a fantasy story, so I went ahead and described a Sorceress going through all of Act I. You know, how would it be, from a first person perspective, to gain spells, fight bosses, etc. I'm sure that if I found it and read it, it would be terrible ^^
I remember in high school we had to write about a developing village in the dark ages. I ended up writing based around Age of Empires II :)
I'm late for school, but thanks a bunch Cakes!
I'll try to translate it, when I get to class.
No problems Skjolde, just don't blame me if it is wrong :)
It looks correctly:)
I handed it in with the rest of my assignment.
Now I'm just trying to stay awake. Since I played Way Too much LoL last night!
That is good.
The lim h->0 ah-1/h = ln(a) is the hard bit to prove and requires a lot of knowledge in the theory of calculus.

Yeah I do :).
Sorry, but as I did Higher Level Mathematics in HS we learnt the theory behind calculus kind of early. I also always found that particular branch of mathematics kind of interesting.
I started algebra before high school, but I later got bored with math and stopped taking classes in hs.
I can barely remember the mathematics we did in primary school.
They were just too basic, that's why. You forget all of the old stuff because it's integrated into the new stuff.

Actually, hs calc is where i got the D. Had a good teacher, just a lousy brain. Well, semi-lousy... somehow it osmosis'd enough thru the book cover to pass AP's, so i got to skip the math parts of uni. Gonna count that as a win...

That is pretty cool, I always found plastics fairly interesting. My final year project (for chemical engineering) was the production of Polyoxymethylene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyoxymethylene) from green (I.E non petrolleum based) feedstocks.
These days however I work mostly in the Oil and Gas industry, would be interested in getting into plastics though.

Actually, hs calc is where i got the D. Had a good teacher, just a lousy brain.
My hs teacher was an under-qualified jackass who hated my mate and me. That made the lessons quite hard. It gave me quite a bit of schadenfreude when he was forced to leave after having an affair with an underaged student. Luckily our replacement teacher was aces and helped me a lot. Similarly, my teacher at uni was brilliant, eccentric and very good at explaining.
My final year project (for chemical engineering) was the production of Polyoxymethylene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyoxymethylene) from green (I.E non petrolleum based) feedstocks.
There were a few courses on production of chemicals in industrial amounts during my studies. The differences between making a lab amount or trying to make a metric ton of stuff is just so large. Different problems and different ways of looking at things. I found it quite interesting.

Yep, it is a completely different way of thinking TBH. We spend a lot of time on understanding / modelling the kinetics of reactions so that we can easly scale up the reaction in a CSTR or a PFR. The thing I found most interesting was scale-up of CSTRs for bio reactions and the different methods they use.

My hs teacher was an under-qualified jackass who hated my mate and me. That made the lessons quite hard. It gave me quite a bit of schadenfreude when he was forced to leave after having an affair with an underaged student. Luckily our replacement teacher was aces and helped me a lot. Similarly, my teacher at uni was brilliant, eccentric and very good at explaining.
.
Amen to the schadenfreude. i don't believe in karma, but it's nice to see the examples where i might be completely wrong. Also had an hs teacher like that, different discipline though, but he was brutal. and my gf at the time suspected he was into her and trying to make 'something' happen during the undeserved, random detentions he kept dispensing... real creep of a douchebag, that one. Subtle though. Wish i could say justice prevailed, but he didn't give us any ammunition that we could escalate to admin during that year. Of course, for her sake, i was glad she didn't have to go through something worse either.
Anyways, good to hear you had better formative instruction in the end. In uni, i was more on the humanities side, but i had a helluva time getting through western art lectures until this one teacher made it brilliant. On my retake, this prof infused all of the different changes in art styles with their corresponding political intrigues and socioeconomic concurrencies. Had me riveted. =]

That whole teacher/student thing is happening far too frequently in my city, I think we're up to six in the last three years. Must be something in the water, I don't know.
I always did well by putting things into stories. If I can't remember specifics, I formulate a story about it that I can tell myself, that helps. My first college history professor did that the first day, I was so amazed. I guess it isn't that rare, but the way he did it was so flawless, I have yet to find another teacher capable of making a lecture so enjoyable.
(Missed one cakes)
One of our lecturers when I was at uni was going through a nasty divorce with his wife (who happened to be an ex-student of his). I guess atleast he married her ......
Yes....marrying her makes it soooo much better :p
I still think the teacher thing is kinda hot, isn't that every man's fantasy?
I don't know, maybe all my teachers were ugly but I never fantasised about that.
I suppose if you did have a bunch of ugly teachers it wouldn't happen.
You have to watch the Hot for Teacher video and you will fantasize or maybe that 80s movie My tutor.
Yup, I've linked that one recently. although it's a pretty old video now, a bit out of style.

No, it was a she, and a very attractive she to boot! Not my type, had that entitled Euro thing going on, but still.

Please explain?
I feel you pcm, my French treachery was like that.
I don't really know what you guys mean.

I am not sure if he meant to type treachery or if that was autocorrect. Hilarious either way.
I mean she sort of treats people like servants, whether she means to or not. She doesn't do stuff herself, she asks others to do it for her. It's just an air some European women have about them. My sister in law does it too. Hard to explain.
I have never heard of that.

No, Australians don't purchase Russian mail order brides.

I prefer French women.
But you prefer naked men over naked women?

kekekekeke... I had almost forgotten about that. So if they are naked, he would take the Frenchman over the Frenchwoman.
Yep, but only if they are naked.
but given they are french, it will be next to impossible to tell them apart when they are naked.

I read about some French dudes who built a movie theater/couscous restaurant underneath Paris. It was awesome.
pancakeman
09-05-2012, 05:01
Because they like to party? The cops who found it thought they found a bomb. It was a couscous maker.
I still don't see the appeal of couscous, but I guess that is why they are french.

That same group also snuck into a Parisian landmark every night for over a year to repair the giant clock there. When it was done, the guy in charge got fired for never catching them, so he stole a piece from it so that it will never work.

Indeed. I kind of wish there was a similar group in America, but it would either be shut down on suspicion of terrorism or get its own reality show and lose all coolness.

Ah yes.... I was playing Deus Ex: HR and as per usual I was hacking into emails etc. and came across this gem. It said "SO you think you can dodge traffic has been cancelled"
Hacker!!!
It never takes very long to go from talking about French people to making fun of French people.
It is one of the most awesome things about Deus Ex.

Not much else to talk about with Frenchies.
I got Deus Ex: 2 when I bought my 9800 xt 8 or so years ago.
Needless to say, it was a complete turd.

The 9800 xt was a beast for running Lineage 2 xD
I do enjoy a good French joke, not sure which is better though, French or Canadian jokes.
pancakeman

I think French jokes are better. Plus, there is at least one Canadian cyclist with a chance to win a Grand Tour, something the French cannot boast.
Too bad for them, you'd think they'd be better.

They should try harder.
That goes against everything they believe in.

Deus Ex 2 (IW) was terrible apparently (I only played Deus Ex 1, back when I had a Geforce 3 :))
Deus Ex 3 (Human revolution) is pretty good and what I was talking about.

It was really ****. They managed to **** up everything that was nice about the original. It was also one of the first games that made it abundantly clear that consolisation could be a thing.
I didn't realise it was ported to console, I guess that explains a lot ....
Ughhh....consolisation. Stop ruining good games!

The only thing worse is games designed for payed DLC. Don't sell me a game and expect me to pay 10 bucks the first day just to get the rest of the game!

They're French, of course they won't protest! And if they do, I need only speak German to silence them.
That is stupid, but it's not a big threat to D3 so I don't care about it as much.
pancakeman
11-05-2012, 05:29
Yeah, it is usually with the stand-alone sort of games, games where you don't expect 5 or 8 or 10 year support. I'm expecting at least 8 from D3.

The only thing that Frenchmen like to do more than not work is rioting. Haven't you seen the news reports every time something happens in France?

Yes but Frenchmen will not post on an English language forum purely because it is in English so we are safe.
