    Disgusting abuse of CVS's return policy

    I think that's a violation of the enema convention.

    any graphics folks? check out my ray tracer! (aka pretty cgi pictures inside)

    Cool, thanks. :) Yeah, I'm coming at this from a programming perspective, doing a Computer Science degree. The math doesn't sound too difficult, but we have a Math faculty and take math major courses, so they tend to be very theoretical and about proofs than application, so I feel like I might...

    any graphics folks? check out my ray tracer! (aka pretty cgi pictures inside)

    Cool stuff! I'm actually going to be taking a graphics course in my last year in university, I think we use OpenGL and C++, and writing a ray tracer is part of it. About how long did it take you to write it? And how much lin alg do you need? I've taken the first course for it, but it was...

    Thanks for answering! Definitely gassing for a 3 lipstick pick up bass now. Sounds like a fun, wild time.

    Monster tone in New York Beck performance

    Hey Justin, just watched a clip of Beck performing in New York, and couldn't help but notice the thundering tone. Just wondering what kind of set up you were using, looks like a bass with 3 lipstick pick ups? The video's here:

    Anyone have completely crazy junk basses?

    Be Honest: Would You Ever Sell-Out?

    Who says mainstream music = bad music? A lot of the songs we (as in the members of TalkBass) are popular songs that made a lot of money. And we learn them for fun, or out of appreciation for the song. Now imagine playing fun, well crafted songs with large appeal, in front of thousands of...

    Bassists you like for their genius basslines, whos not known for that.

    Seconding Paul Simonon and Mike Dirnt. Almost every time I listen to a Green Day song, I'm surprised at something new I notice in Dirnt's playing :bassist:

    The Canabass - Oh Canada, what a bass!

    I don't even smoke pot and I thought it was going to be green with a different kind of leaf. :ninja: Pretty cool bass. Always wondered why you see guitars with union jacks, stars and stripes, but never any Canadian patriotism!

    Bobby pin in door, massive fail

    Coincidentally (or not) I've been playing New Vegas like mad recently. :o We talked to our don (upper year floor manager guy) about it, he sent in a maintenance request, so I guess the problem's on it's way to getting it fixed. As for the "putting things that don't belong in holes"...

    Bobby pin in door, massive fail

    So, me and my roommate came into possession of some bobby pins, and decided it would be super cool to pick the lock. It was not super cool, and the end of the bobby pin is stuck in the door. :atoz: I figure if you guys give legal advice, you must know how to deal with this situation. Please?
