Two days ago I heard a *click* sound from the right phone while listening to music on the computer. After that the sound from that side was muffled and much softer. A few minutes later, both sides started exhibiting this. I was left with a pair of PX100s that sounded amazing in comparison to my...

Is anyone here running Firefox able to get to PayPal.com today? I'm able to access via Microsft IE, but not FF. I'm thinking that my "speed" tweaks in the Firefox settings aren't being accepted by PayPal anymore. *shrugs*

Only about 80 million bullets were fired in tonight's episode. I don't think I've ever seen this much gunfire in a tv show before. Nevermind whatever message the writers were trying to portray with the Pakistani(?) prisoners or the incompetent Sgt., tonight was just damn entertaining. It...

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercu...l/15968292.htm It's been talked about for a while now, and looks like the Oakland Athletics are moving to a southern Bay Area location. The current Coliseum location is nice because it has it's own train station adjacent to it. A team with one of the...

Does the landlord usually take something (or everything) out of the deposit when a 1 year or more contract is over? I have a college friend that just moved out of an apartment complex with a $1,500 deposit and the owner of the whole place kept every penny. This friend spot cleaned and wiped...

Is there a simple to use editing program on winxp (hopefully free) that allows quick extraction of exact 4x6/5x7/etc inch sized images from a larger photo? I have access to a computer with Photoshop and ImageReady as well, so tips on accomplishing this task using those programs would be...

Hi, I'm leaving in a few days for my sister's graduation from Wellesley and just realized that I need a new set of foamies for my Shure E2's. Shipping from an online dealer would most likely be too late. Does anyone know of any retail stores in Boston that carry these? Close to subway and...

What can I do about neighborhood car alarms that go off in the middle of the night that don't stop? The worst was a year ago some punk's alarm blasted for 3-4 hours straight. Can I call 911 for these situations, or is there a better solution? I'm sure you NYC-ers have a lot of experience with...

Don't worry, I won't tell. Or maybe you work at home, or happen to be the boss.

I tried the lick the pinky then make contact with IEM tip trick, and it works really well! No more "rock and roll" needed after foamy insertion into the canal. Just one quick slide-in, granted I still compressed the foam between fingers first and then applied the spit.

It's been out for a few weeks now. Don't see it on the website though.

I obtained this fairly good conditioned 1997 unit from a friend today. -was hoping it would be a D-465 though, since I've heard some good things about that similar looking model on these forums. So far I like how the anti-shock stays disabled the next time the player turns on. There's also a...

With the K601 priced between, is it at least significantly better SQ than K501? Right now K601 reminds me of SA3k...the best looking out of a trio, but unfortunately a neglected middlechild some current prices (let me know if there's cheaper) B&H K701 - $286.xx K701 (reference...

My P4 2.4 running a more recent version of XP home is in trouble. Windows won't boot. Right before I get to see the desktop, the system keeps rebooting. I tried running Safe Mode, booting up with Floppy disk and booting up with a WinXP cd + reinstall. I'm not sure if I'll ever see the desktop...
