Tweakers Australia - Technology News, Reviews and Analysis

Top (Hits - 17) Posted - 12/1/2005 7:51:50 AM - bloodangel Guru3D: Hey everyone .. Cooler Master Musketeer 3 is a sound quality controller that filters the accurate digital signal of sound to a much more harmonic output in a classical way - Vacuum Tube Technology. With its dial VU meter and cascade volume control at the front panel, Cooler Master Musketeer 3 brings you back to 60's as well as the ancient-restored vacuum light warming your heart. Did somebody at CoolerMaster have loose his mind ? I mean, there's a reason that vacuum tubes were left in history back in the 50's: they kinda suck. However, they might have lost their minds, but they ain't crazy. Tubes have been making a bit of a renaissance comeback lately in audio. Amplifiers using tubes have always been apart of studios, and really, you can't have a rock 'n roll band without some screaming tube amps for the guitars. I would venture to say that every song you hear will have a tube somewhere i...

Of Hostages & Relationships: Article by Suzanne Clothier FLYING DOG PRESS

by Suzanne Clothier He said that he loved her. He said that his relationship with her mattered almost more than anything else in his life. He said that he enjoyed working with her, and sharing new ideas. To be sure, she never took her eyes off his face, paying no heed to the audience who waited breathlessly to hear his secrets for such adoration, such undivided attention. "First", he said, "I never let her talk to anyone but me. When I leave for work, I lock her in a room, which is pretty boring for her, but when I get home - oh, is she ever glad to see me! If she wants to do anything, except go to the bathroom, she has to do it with me. I control her food, her exercise and all her activities. Wherever we go, I insist that she always look at me, so I know for sure she's paying absolute attention. I don't let her have any friends, because they might distract her or use up the energy she needs for working. Being the only social contact she has, I am very impo...

The Dutch and their amphibious houses

we make money not art: Amphibious houses : "Amphibious houses 01:57 PM architecture The Dutch are gearing up for climate change with amphibious houses. If rivers rise above their banks, the houses rise upwards as well. houyel00.jpg Drive-in from Waterstudio. 37 'swimming' houses are already strung along a branch of the Maas. At first glance, they seem quite unremarkable. The cellar, in this case, is not built into the earth, but on a platform. The hollow foundation of each house works in the same way as the hull of a ship, buoying the structure up above water. To prevent the houses from floating away, they slide up two steel posts - and as the water level sinks, so they sink back down again. 'The columns have been driven deep into solid ground,' explains Dick van Gooswilligen from the construction company. 'They are even strong enough to withstand currents you would find on the open seas. As global warming causes the sea level to rise, this is the...

Martial arts - How good are they for self defense? || kuro5hin.org

By guitartroll Sun Jul 3rd, 2005 at 02:06:16 AM EST Culture Like a lot of geeks, I am attracted to Martial Arts. The idea that study, practice, and resulting increase in skill will allow you to defend yourself against someone stronger is attractive. The philosophy and culture of martial arts is attractive as well. Of course, one has to wonder how useful they are for actual self defense. I have studied a few Martial Arts over the years. I haven't earned anything over an intermediate rank in any art, so I'm no expert in any particular style. On the other hand, I don't have as much time or ego invested in any art in particular, so I feel I can be a bit more objective. Here are some martial arts, and my take on them. Note, there are many different styles within a particular martial art. I'm talking generalities here. I'm also talking about the way these arts are practiced in the present day, in the western world, as I have no experience training i...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rubric "lifestyle modifications" is the term physicians use when recommending non-pharmaceutical treatments for GERD. Certain foods and lifestyle tend to promote gastroesophageal reflux: * Coffee, alcohol, calcium supplements, and excessive amounts of Vitamin C supplements are stimulants of gastric acid secretion so avoiding these helps. Calcium containing antacids such as TUMS (Calcium carbonate) are in this group[1] * Foods high in fats and smoking reduce lower esophageal sphincter competence so avoiding these tends to help as well. * Having more but smaller meals also reduces the risk of GERD as it means there is less in the stomach at any one time. Advice generally given: * avoid eating for 2 hours before bedtime * elevate the head of the bed on 6 inch blocks. (Pillows under the head and shoulders have been shown to be ineffective.) * avoid sodas that contain caffeine * avoid chocolate and peppermint * avoid spicy fo...

TASCAM Forums -> Effect Sends

You have an external effect unit that provides reverb, echo, whatever. You'd like to record the vocal mic track dry but still be able to hear the effect ( and possibly record the effect on a separate track from vocal) ??? The FW has a pre-AD converter SEND TRS/TS jack on each of the 8 channels. Using the appropriate cable type (if effect unit has 3-connector balanced TRS , use TRS cable, if just unbalanced TS, use TS cable) , connect cable between Channel #1 SEND output to the INPUT of Effects unit. If you are wanting to record the effects unit, connect cable between Effects OUTPUT and the RETURN of FW Channel #1. If you don't want to record the effects, connect to the input of FW Channel #2 - Channel #2 will be the return from the Effects, which you can mix in with the monitor signal, and then record it (or not) as you wish.">TASCAM Forums -> Effect Sends : "You have the vocal mic plugged into FW-1884 (let's say Channel #1) You ha...

Chapter 5: Housing

If the person has not been living with you for a long time then you have the right to evict them immediately. You would be well advised to seek legal advice first however, as the person may have some right of which you are not aware. You might end up having to provide them with compensation if you compromise these rights. Even if you do have a right of immediate eviction, you cannot withhold any of the person's property or damage it, even if you think they have abandoned it or you think the person owes you money. However if you have concerns about your physical safety, or are worried that the person may damage your property, you should discuss the matter with friends, family or the local police. If you have the right to evict and the person refuses to leave, you might be able to seek the help of the police to have the person escorted from your property as a trespasser.">Chapter 5: Housing : "3. My former friend is now an unwelcome, guest in my house. Wh...

APOD: 2005 August 9 - The Belt of Venus over Elwood Beach

APOD: 2005 August 9 - The Belt of Venus over Elwood Beach : "The Belt of Venus over Elwood Beach Explanation: Although you've surely seen it, you might not have noticed it. During a cloudless twilight, just before sunrise or after sunset, part of the atmosphere above the horizon appears slightly off-color, slightly pink. Called the Belt of Venus, this off-color band between the dark eclipsed sky and the blue sky can be seen in nearly every direction including that opposite the Sun. Straight above, blue sky is normal sunlight reflecting off the atmosphere. In the Belt of Venus, however, the atmosphere reflects light from the setting (or rising) Sun which appears more red. The Belt of Venus can be seen from any location with a clear horizon. Pictured above, the Belt of Venus was photographed behind Elwood Beach in Melbourne, Australia. The belt is frequently caught by accident in other photographs."
