Yeah I meant leakage both ways, if they keeps noise in and out fairly well then I can listen to music quieter and annoy less other people and as a bonus preserve my hearing too ha. Thanks, I'll take a look at the Sennheisers.

You may notice that many BBC sports commentators use them, especially in F1. They are also a popular choice with DJ's. They work well in studio recording situations where you don't want the headphone monitor mix leaking onto the recording via the singers microphone.

I have had mine for over 10 years now.

A question about headphones:

I have approx. £100 to spend on a pair of headphones, not earphones, I've been looking at some Bose over or on the ear versions (89.99 and about 129.99 respectively) does anyone have any brands/models they would recommended from experience? I want some that are good at stopping noise leakage so as not to be "that" person on the bus/train/tube.

Cheers for any help!

Noise leakage? both ways?.... tube trains can be dam noisy. Sennheiser HD25-1 II.

With a bit of shopping around you should get them for about a £100-120. Also spares are readily available.

Dunno, but my 38" jeans are now too big and I'm on the last hole of my belt. Back at the gym today so weight might stop decreasing.

If you are doing resistance training then you might well find you don't loose much weight, but you can still lose fat. If the gym provides a free fat measuring service then use that. If not, then measuring your waist is still a good way of tracking progress.

you should DEFINITELY watch 'into eternity'. it's a documentary about nuclear waste and it's horrifying but way interesting. they cant put it anywhere tectonically/geologically active cos the stuff lasts for fucking millions of years and it would move around and come up to the surface etc. but they do put it underground - or at least when they have finished building the stores they will - but it has to go miles and miles and miles underground and it is a pretty difficult process! anyway watch the movie it's amazing

And the government have us believe it's Iran we need to worry about :D

I've got HTC branded screen cover that I actually managed to stick on properly this time along with some kind of back cover that the phone slips into.

I failed miserably at this, however I went to an 02 shop and they had a chap who displayed Jedi master skillz. No charge and invited me back to pop on the second one from the pack when required.

Interesting idea - maybe
Fast - probably
Ugly as sin - Definitely

It can be seen under Rasmus Henning this weekend.

Horizon is on the piss

I imagine my bf % is now somewhere around 25% but I will confirm that tomorrow.

Plus I'm 6'2"

What's your waist now?

94.9kg

Is this a lean or fat 15 stone?

A question for the computer music crowd:

What sequencer software do your recommend for someone with a very low/non existent budget. Wanting something for mac that can utilise midi controller knobs.

I was stoked with how decent Garageband was till I realised it cannot handle midi controller data (other than piano keys).

Reaper. Can try it for free. Mac or PC. $60 for the license if you want to keep it after 30 days and that includes free upgrades up to verion 5.99, currently on 4.10

Is there much difference between brands of innertubes?

SOLD.....to one of the LFGSS posse.

But....I have another one. Again unused. I will post up a new photo soon. £10 plus delivery.

I am in London this Saturday if anyone wants to save a few quid on delivery.

This morning, bang on 14st
1st down on March
All I have done is reduce dairy, McDonalds and KFC

I weighted in at 195.6lbs :P

I had crept over my 14 stone limit. Broken hand hasn't helped over the last 3 months.

I don't eat McDonalds or KFC though.

I have lost an inch on the waist and 4lbs in 3 weeks. Pretty sure I have gained 1-2lbs of muscle as I have been able to do some resistance training in the last 3 weeks.

My culking skills are impressive :P

Gatorskin hardshell - by far the best tyre I've used.

Thanks, have heard good things of them. I was also looking at the Schwalbe Ultremo DD and DURANO PLUS.

Anyone tried them?

Currently running the stock Specialized Mondo Sport tyres that came with my Langster. Shit for punctures. Running 23c, what can you chaps recommend? Only really need to replace the rear.

Defiantly all over the place on my phone and the same on a friends. It seems to jump to previous locations randomly.

Caching the area doesn't make any difference.

Wow, much quieter in here today.

Some one must have turned all the Mac's off.

Cool. I wonder if that can be customised to, say, within 100 miles.

Would be nice.

Anyone use Latitude? Anyone got it working properly?

this used to be such a quiet thread...

Mac's? Quiet?

I own and use macs

If that was my family, I'd have got the house up on NAS storage by now, and my kids can fuck off, get a summer job and buy their own MAC and get an external HDD with the money saved from their student discount.

My parents certainly didn't buy me a computer when I went to university, in fact I built my own computer as that was cheaper than buying a Mac, and I was more than able to get by on that.

Dude, it is not an unreasonable expectation of mine to expect apple to stick their own FW technology on their range of laptops. OSX was for what? What was the main driving force behind that? Network integration with Windows. Apple want an all apple household. I don't think anyone would dispute this but AGAIN dropping FW on mac books for the sake of a dollor is cuntish.

Why the fuck would you defend that?

You must in some way be affiliated with someone at DV in some way shape or form. Or perhaps you work at DV.

Feel free to PM me what your connection is, but not a conversation for the public forum.

Nope, no affiliation what so ever. Just made the mistake of purchasing an item from them.

But for a moment I would like you to think about this..... an Apple household. Lets just say mummy or daddy work with power macs at work (media job of some sort no doubt). Have a powerbook for own use and taking work home etc. Kids have ipods. Daddy or mummy or both have invested in many external HDD over the years, lets say Lacie( though these are crap). They chose FW as well they are loyal to "mac". Seems to be a logical choice. They want to get their kids a laptop each, they are at uni or college or school..blah..blah. Powerbooks? They are out of budget. Mac book? well would be nice to use those external HDDs with them, just for the dam convenience of it all.

No Apples arrogance thought better. It was a bad and inconsiderate decision as far as I am concerned.

The arguments I have heard so far are just utter tripe. Yes Apple can do what the fuck they want. Apple customer from 1993 to 2009. No Loyalty here any more. RIP

I'm not really up for stipulating where I work, but I can assure you it isn't DV. *** I used to though***.

/conversation

So, all in all, you're happy with your 3 year old macbook that has FW. But it would be nice if you could buy a new one for roughly £750. Correct?

Not correct. Seriously if you wish to advice me on the subject than maybe ask some probing questions so you actually know what I require.

I thought I gave some pretty solid reasoning, but my advice has been overlooked.

Next you will tell me you work for DV

so you're upset that you can't use a macbook air for recording? are you also upset you can't use an apple tv?

The macbook air is for people that just needs a light laptop for travelling and don't mind sub spec as trade off.

It's sunny out man, go for an ice cream and chillax

Your logic is ridiculous. Location recording would call for exactly what you have just stated. You don't need the power of an i3/i5/i7 mac book pro etc for that. You just don't.
