Nerdy Awesome shit you bought!

[Wazzerphuk]

Which one? Are hard drives still expensive?
Damn tsunamis ruining my life.

The one DaGaffer linked... noob.... was about £90 for 2TB. Only USB2.0 instead of 3.0 but I'm happy with it. It's only for backup protection anyway.

Just bought myself one of these lenses to play with.

Just purchased this at Dubai Duty Free for 389 Dhs. It works great. Will use it to scan receipts whilst on Biz travel. I lose so much money each year through lost receipts it will pay for itself within a month.

Thanks. Any tips for macro photography?

Those are actually really good. We were going to get one in the office until we saw the Fujitsu ScanSnap range. That won out because of the sheet feeder. Absolutely brilliant as we're chucking most of our files through it and destroying decades worth of paper archives. An average file of text, drawings, photos, etc comes in at around 25mb.

After much listening, comparing with other models and review reading, I have pressed the button on a pair of KEF R700s

intel 520 240gb ssds today. lovely and fast

 

[Yaka]

also thos cool kefs gonna be used part of an av setup or stereo only?

 

[old.user4556]

Stereo only, I've got KEF XQs handling my home cinema sound.

 

[Yaka]

what amp are you running em off? just curious

 

[old.user4556]

The R700s will be driven by an Audiolab MDAC pre stage and Audiolab 8200P power stage. They're rather efficient speakers so don't need a lot of power.

This just arrived this morning Coffee fags alert.

 

[megadave]

those are some fine looking speakers

 

[ECA]

This coffee machine is ridiculously awesome.

 

[megadave]

is it because it makes really thick white stuff for you to drink?

Why not just take a picture on your phone?

One of the first 10 or 20 units sold in the U.K.

Got this 6 days before release thanks to a friend in the retail channel!

I didn't, but my dealer didn't stock them.

They've arrived and they're fapping awesome!

Thats a shame, I listened to a lot of speakers and spent 6 hours in a sound room and instantly fell in love with them when they were next up. Anyway, lets see a pic of your setup now..

 

[old.user4556]

I'll get a pic up later.

Yeah, the Focals are very highly regarded, but it's tough to demo absolutely everything. I tried a mix of different brands and prices ranges but still kept coming back to the KEF R series. They've been getting some sensational press and I can see why!

I bought a coffee machine today, mine's a tad cheaper. Here's what you do:

1. Put teaspoon of coffee in mug
2. Pour in hot water
3. Add milk.
4. Drink

At least use a french press so you don't have to deal with skank at the bottom of your mug!

Cos it does not show the specs etc and I cba to write them all out .

If you mean the receipts, we can only upload PDF's and although you can convert it's quicker and better using this.

Press the 'coffee app' on your phone which is connected to WiFi interface on your coffee machine, which auto-makes it for you.

heh cd32 was nothing more than a amiga 600 with a cd drive. had the enhanced version of syndicate on it rawked. commodore fucked it up it tho if they did a proper job on it it could have been an awesome console.

as for the 3do i remeber peeps jaws dropping when need for speed or roadrash we pld on it. it looks shit b todays standards but every always would crash the car in need for speed and go wow when the car flipped showing so much detail.

Both android and apple have apps that will take a phone as a PDF specifically for receipts. FYI.

but that scanner is better for books and mags,
