  1. The idea itself sounds very interesting, although I have no intentions modding any of my guitars to achieve this kinds of effect. I would try it on the better guitars I have and as clumsy as I am, I know it will end in tragedy ;)

    For my needs I have enough plugins to make one take sound like two (PODFarm DualTone+hardpanning on one stereo track anyone?) - so I am fine with that I suppose.

  2. If someone cares more about what particular pidgeon hole music belongs in then it's actual audible content, you should ignore their face and it's various energy emissions.

    100% correct, good sir.

  3. Ok, so taking the cable modem into consideration as well I take it the setup looks like this?

    If that is the case, how about moving the wireless router to where the 4-port switch is, just leaving the cable modem all alone, connected with your long cable. this would move the obvious wlan area to where you are actually need it:

    IF you still need wireless access in the area of the cable modem, then you can leave the wireless router there and use a simple access point that you connect to the 4-port switch, thus using the access point as a kind of network bridge to get rid of the direct cable to the laptop.

    This accesspoint can broadcast a different SSID, no problem whatsoever, just make sure that you still get your DHCP addresses from the wireless router so that you stay in the same local network (IP-wise) to still be able to surf the net (or you configure the IPs manually, what only a few people do on a WiFi Interface of a laptop).

    Ugh, my post is kinda messy, I hope you could understand what I was babbling about. :|

  4. You are correct, you have to place the wireless repeater in a spot where it still can get the signal. I do not know exactly what the situation of the building is, so let me ask a few questions:

    Is your desired destination location on the same level, or it is like upstairs or downstairs?

    Do you have any intentions to maybe use other means of transport media? Like either being able to pull an ethernet calbe between the two locations, or transport your network via powerline?

    A quick mspaint drawing of the layout and the approx range of the current router would be greatly appreciated. With a better picture in mind I can think of probably more ways to get to a working solution.

  5. I have seen DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL dozens of times on XP and Vista systems and it mostly was one of the following:

    - One or more RAM DIMMs faulty

    - One or more RAM slots on the MB faulty (that took me ages to figure out once)

    - GPU faulty

    - PCIe slot with GPU in it faulty

    In one single case we had a faulty PSU, that was also tricky to figure out.

    I suggest you get Memtest86, burn it to a boot disk and test the RAM.

    Then, does your motherboard feature on-baord graphics, even though you are using your own seperate GPU in a PCIe x16 slot? You could try to deactive the on-baord graphics card in BIOS.

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on a fresh system is not a configuration problem, it looks like some hardware issue alright.

    A BIOS update could also help, but this would be some lucky shot, I have seen 2 cases in my whole life where a BIOS update actually DID something remotely helpful to the system.

  6. After watching a bit of FF14 at a friend's house (= 1 or 2 days per week for the last 3 months) I get the feeling that it has not even remotely anything to do with Final Fantasy.

    The way I see it, you could put "Random MMO Game Title" in there as well, as I for myself see nothing special or really worthwhile about it.

    FFXI at least had a charme, at least for me, by adapting archetype MMO classes into classic FF jobs. I think they did a good job providing a Final Fantasy setting in FFXI. Whilst FF14 - as i said - just seems like any random MMO to me.

    Dunno, that's how I see things.

  7. sorry to hear about your misery, data loss is never a funny or laughing matter.

    as for hitachi, i am not too fond of them as i had some bad experiences in the past (back when we all still had PATA, etc.). i do not know how current generations of hitachi drives work though.

    the best experiences i had were seagate barracuda or samsung spinpoint drives - at least they never died on me as long as i had them in use.

    as for the backup, i do it like this: i have a 640GB disk that has the OS and installed programs, games, etc. and a 1TB disk that contains DATA only. which means: all my applications, games, installers, music archive. i backup all my software and games by writing a disk image (you never know when your super expensive cubase 5 DVD will not be readable anymore...). this harddisk is the one i backup 1:1 to an external 1TB.

    my worst cases are either to reinstall the OS and all the software (if the 1st disk dies), or just copy back the files from the external to the internal (of 2nd disk dies). i am pretty fine with that.

    hope you got some ideas out of all the posts for yourself. good luck and better fortune in the future, brandon.

    cheers,

  8. True, it is different. But I see it as sign of life or at least as a step into the right direction.

    I just find so many tracks of video game music much more interesting than the simple pop stuff MTV and the like sells to our youth today. So anything that causes attention (if even partly) connected to video game music is good IMHO.

    Flame me all you like, I am nerd enough to not take it seriously :D

    with mucho <3,
