I might have to adopt this as my motto: "Use all the amps and all the speakers"

Thanks for the input (and humour). Okay - so if I do go with hiring a PA system, how do I avoid that awful "PA sound" - Is there any way to get something approximating hifi sound?

LOL - it's definitely not a bunch of preteens and there will be alcohol involved. Okay seems like I need to go the PA route. Any advice on what kit to look out for when hiring?

I'm setting up sound for a smallish dancefloor (room is 8m x 5m x 2.5m ceilings). Audience is very mixed bunch and I anticipate playing a large range of music - most tracks with the intention of getting people on the dancefloor. I want to decide what equipment to use. This is what I have...

The i9500 is a bit of a tricky phone to put custom ROMs on - I believe that this is due to the fact that it has Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa 5410 chipset rather than one made by a third party like Qualcom. You need to be careful that whatever ROM you install doesn't have any bugs which will make...

Thanks for the recommendation. I ended up ordering the LG LGP-PB62G which I think is the successor to the LG pb60g. Looking forward to playing with it.

Any thoughts on the BenQ MX522P? Kalahari has them for a touch under R6k http://www.kalahari.com/Technology/BenQ-MX522P-Projector_p_49404326

Hi, Does anyone have recommendations for which projectors to look at. There seem to be a dizzying array of models, and it also seems like a lot of those recommended by US websites such as projector central don't seem to be readily available here. Budget on the lower side (R5k ish). Could I go...

I own a V40 D2 Excel and I'm very happy with it. I bought it a year old second hand (not demo) with less than 20k kilometres on the clock. The 1.6 diesel engine suffers quite a bit from turbolag at low revs - but you get used to it quickly enough. The fuel economy is fantastic. I get in the...

If you just want to hire one, you might be able to do so at Sinderella's in Linden. They have quite a lot of military costume stuff... http://www.sinderellacostumehire.co.za/

I'd also be interested - pricing dependent...

When you say do you mean the disk utility available during the OS X recovery/installer as opposed to the disk utility available through OS X once you're booted up?

I've seen a Barble a bit shy of 2m in the Orange River in 2009. Wikipedia seems to say that this is not entirely unusual - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catfish#Size

Thanks for the feedback - will do some more reading about the options mentioned.

If you do end up downloading Mavericks via a mechanism other than the App Store you can also always compute the MD5 or SHA1 cryptographic hash and check the result against people who have posted the hash on the internet: e.g. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1658909

What leatherman models do you guys have? I was looking at the medium sized very popular Wave and the tiny Squirt ES4 which seems to be tailored to electrical work...

Can anyone recommend a multi-tool suited to Hi-Fi/Electrical and other DIY? I was looking at a Leatherman Wave for example.

I don't think it is necessary to pay for software to get the music off your iPod. How successfully you can get the music off your iPod will depend on how good the metadata is on your music library, in other words how well the files in your music library were tagged. If they all have song...

I listened to a recent NPR Planet Money podcast http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2014/05/30/317030992/episode-543-a-world-without-banks on peer-to-peer lending (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer_lending). It's an interesting concept. I see there is a local enterprise called Rainfin...

Consider the following scenario: Four lane freely moving traffic, busy but not to the point where traffic is being significantly slowed. You are travelling a bit over 120km/h in the fast lane maintaining following distance from the car in front of you, the traffic in the next fastest lane is...
