I wasn't planning to get a car for several more years, but CFC made buying a car early worth it. I had an 05 Scion tC and a (clunker) 94 Dodge Dakota. Cash for clunkers put a new Mini Cooper S in my reach with almost no car payment. So I spent a month selling the Scion, and was due to turn in my clunker Friday morning when the money ran out and the dealer got shy of doing the deal. It left me in a bad spot because I didn't want to buy a car without CFC's at all, but I was now driving a mostly unmaintained unreliable car for a daily driver, since my perfectly good car was already sold. There was no warning things were about to go to crap with the program.
I was lucky things worked out by the end of Friday, but I spent a harrowing 9 hours camped at the dealer making sure I was first in line for any remaining funds in the program, and (slowly) submitting the paperwork to the cars.gov site. Cars.gov was so spotty that I participated in the document submission part (and had better luck than the dealer) to make things go faster.
I never would have gotten involved in the program if I'd known it could have run out at any minute and endangered my finances.
This is a PR fluff piece, with no feedback from anyone blind. And everywhere I looked for derivative articles was more of the same. I want to know if it really works for a blind person, or is it just frustration in a tiny box.
The pictures indicate its limited to region 2 dvd's. And this isn't likely to be a product we get region free versions of from Asia. This seems limiting since DJing is largely sampling from a wide variety of sources, I would think it would be advantageous to show first release/current stuff from region one or (preferably) all regions.
Boy does that statement have some holes in it! But you can bet you system that every tv ad you hear from gateway, compaq, etc. with an intel chip will try to convince consumers that the statement is true. Intel subsidizes computer makers advertizing budgets, but requires statement similar to that.
I think the hardware vendors are selling their souls pushing stuff that way. At least make up legitimate reasons consumers need high levels of performance. Its no better than selling insurance, magazines, etc. to lonely old people through telemarketing... prey on the weak and ignorant.
Since I'm not a gamer, i'll keep plugging along on my P100 dual for another few years...
I use a Gemini PMX-3501. It has 4 stereo channels, some of which can be reassigned to other imputs on the fly. I think its about 75-80 dB S/N, which isnt near that of my PCI soundcards, but you wont hear static either. Works well, my only complaint is it doesn't do quad channel sound, like SB Live! or Diamond's MX 300.
Cost is less than $250 new, Rack mountable too. It has 3 separately adjustable output pairs, so you can hook up 4 or more speakers if you like...instead of 2. You can also preview one source while driving another, like I output the channel hooked to my playstaion to the speakers while i listen to my MP3's on the headphone out.

He was an asshole when he was my HS classmate. So he's already delivering more of the same.

Sony fanboys : the new mac zealots. The ps3 is better because it _is_.
Maybe the technology is one generation immature, and he is waiting for a new revision. Sometimes any amount of money won't buy exactly what you want.
Well if you want a full feature bluetooth mouse with scroll wheel but without a huge recharging station... You might still need Microsoft.
A victim of its own success. Check those treads:

Many of the other mixers will also fit what you need, posibly better and less expensive.

If you need higher S/N rations, get another brand, Gemini's are the most affordable though, and comes with a decent guarantee.
