fenton Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Except, you quote 12v DC there, most devices that run on batteries can accept fluctuating voltages, check the output on a car battery, it fluctuates wildly, and most devices that run offa car batteries can accommodate this happily.

lala Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 ah ok. Thanks for that clarification. though if it accepts fluctuating voltages it will say on the back, no? i havent got anything that does in my studios anyway, if it doesnt say, check the manufacturers website/manual to be sure innit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenton Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 In theory a power supply that has a box on it or the plug transforms the voltage [etc] and will prob put a clean voltage into the synth [or else you'd prob get loads more hum than ever!] and anything that has the transformer inside will probably be happier with a sloppy voltage and or have a voltage switch on it so you don't send UK current into a poor US circuit. So don't plug your korg into a car battery just yet, even if it says 12v on the back! Or you may have a 3rd world problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bechuga Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) My 5 star review rating (consisting of one single 5 star review) on Amazon has now gone, due to someone giving my book 1 out of 5 stars, claiming it's the most boring thing they've ever read...ever. Now I have a 3 star average on US amazon, which will likely never change now. Not to mention my solitary review on UK amazon of 3 stars, from someone who didn't even finish reading. True, the person who gave me the 1 star rating seems to rate everything low and is marked as mostly unhelpful by other readers, but still...the score is now emblazoned on the wall for all to see. I should just switch to writing Twilight fan fiction. Edited October 20, 2014 by Bechuga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 3/4 of the stuff on my Start Menu has vanished and I've wiped all the previous system restores so can't get it back. Will probably only take about 30 minutes to manually put stuff back again but ..... where did it go :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Someone stole my car two days ago. It was parked out in front of my girlfriends place and when I woke up, it was gone. Checked the tow-yards, called the police, chatted with a decently friendly officer, then begrudgingly went to catch the bus. The dick who stole my car added 1 hour to my daily commute due to busses being shitty in my particular area. Fucking human piece of garbage... The allure of driving a 92' honda accord must have overwhelmed him... Sorry to hear that. Hondas built before 1997 apparently *are* irresistible, though: http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-honda-accord-most-stolen-car-20140814-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublename Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 90s Hondas were especially easy to steal, I think. Source: My mom was a prosecutor in Newark, NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricone RC Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Laptops generally have higher voltage than drives.. The actual disk may still be salvageable if it really needs it ? Yep the drive is very possibly intact, when I get a chance I will get an enclosure for it. PS sorry about the car blysk! Never had a car nicked, which is quite lucky considering I normally drive ancient piles of crap from the 1990s which could be broken into and hotwired with a paperclip...

ghOsty Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Some fucker went rummaging through my car the other night on the one night I happened to forget to lock it, the only thing they really grabbed was a few of my CDs out of the center console... Which most of them are probably sitting on the side of a road somewhere as the fuckers seemed to have tossed all the albums astray as they drove off. Found a few of them scattered in the parking lot and parts of cases of others. Managed to save my copy of the latest Pallbearer and Triptykon, but the rest of what I had in there is gone, among that was my copy of Syro so now all I have is an empty case... motherfuckers.

My body fat used to be really low, when I was doing home renovations. I've been a lazy fuck for like the last year though. I loathe jogging, when I'm not being a lazy fuck I play soccer, badminton, ultimate, and basketball. I'm sure I'll cut back when I get back to Canada, the economics of it just don't make sense in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been rejected plenty so far, so being up on Amazon, if for minor pittance and only getting any downloads when the book is free is definitely better than just having a manuscript rotting on my desk.
