First.

The first step in listening to good music for me was from here. Someone long ago here linked to pitchfork which is how I got to know **** Buttons, Battles, Burial, Fennesz, Lindstrom, and probably a bunch of other perishable bands that I have happened to really like throughout these times. I...

I'm trying to import video from an old camera which has these small cassettes. It can interface with the computer through a Firewire cable. What I wanna do is import video using software other than Windows Live Movie Maker, which will import the video in ridiculous sizes (20+ gigs) without a...

Hello HL2.net, I know we have a forum to discuss literature but I can almost certainly say it is even less read than the off-topic forum, which is why the topic is here. I hope it is reasonable for it to be in this section, at least for a few weeks, so that it gains enough exposure for more...

Yes, hl2.net; I have indeed asked this question. You see, I'm in the process of Seeing how to design a bookshelf for myself when I decide to make the time to undertake such a task. In the mean time I decided some of you fine chaps might have a better vision or are better educated in all things...

I s'pose it will be rather random to create a thread like this, but what is there not to like about something random? For one, random things have an origin, even if the origin was a thought that commanded a random thing, like this thread. Anyway, I'll cease my series of disconnected notions...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muc0kaQtCMU HL2.net, I know you read reddit too. I... just had to. Forgive me.

So I've been listening to some "dance-punk" bands for some time now and was thinking what else is good out there. Bands/musicians like LCD Soundsystem, The Juan Maclean, Hot Chip, !!!, Cut Copy, and Crystal Castles (although these last two are only vaguely related to dance-punk, I guess)...

Post pictures of old pieces of technological equipment you no longer use that you can't throw away because of emotional attachment but still have hanging around somewhere in your home! The other day I was scavenging in a room of this house nobody tends to use, in which old stuff is just...

Here are words I consider cool and thought it'd be a great idea to post them Globetrotter Apnea :( that's it really. Post cool words:

http://conceptart.org/?artist=SamBrown36 So basically I'm in the process of trying to figure out how people come up with mechanical human-things. I made a drawing to attempt to figure out how it is that they do that - and basically the situation I want to solve is how I'm going to get a...

Let's talk about creativity. What IS creativity? Is it having some new, important idea to communicate, or is it just a reconstruction of bits of previously imbibed ideas that have been passed on to a person considered creative? Is it an act of innate brightness or is it mimicry? Can...

Which computer platform do you use more often, or do you use both? Which do you prefer for different activities (e.g. work, play, etc.)?

So I logout and notice that The Longue and all the other forums in the Off topic section are hidden. I wouldn't really mind if we had more activity going on in the lounge. Oh shit, did I say we don't have any activity in the lounge? F*ck yes I did. I mean, it's not like the Off Topic forums...

Which radio stations do you listen to? I don't really mean music discovery services like Pandora or last.fm, but rather actual internet radio stations of whatever genre that play decent music.

And did you ever think you would end up doing what you're doing, whether that's a good or bad thing? I ask, because I am running out of ideas.

Wouldn't it be cool if at the end of every post you could have either a like button or dislike button to rate a post? Just sayin' Holmes. Sulkdodds likes this.

Is there any way you can take a digital VST plugin, such as this one: And link its many knobs and sliders to an actual physical board so that, when you moved that knob on the physical board, its digital counterpart also moved in accordance to the physical movement you did in the physical...

Leftover food, I mean - of the kind that is left over when you finish eating, and you have 1/4 of a piece of chicken/steak/etc. still on your plate and you're no longer hungry, making you want to dispose of the food in the nicest way possible. I mention it because my parents, especially my...

You're bored and unemployed. On vacations, you could say. You've got big plans but your motivation is faltering. How do you manage your time? Do you have a schedule where you plan to spend say, 2 hours reading or do you prefer to do things whenever you feel like doing things? Do you set...
