I haven't been on these forums in forever, what a change.  It took me forever to find everything, but alas it's hard to break tradition.   Ladies and (most prominently) gents, it's time for that wonderful time of year where we pretend we own multi-million dollar franchises and pit them...

So I recently declared a Film major at school and since I will be commuting in the fall, I've determined I'll need a MacBook Pro to replace my Toshiba so I can have home access to Final Cut Pro.  The school definitely has labs their but traveling 30 minutes just to do my homework and then having...

I'm taking Photography I this semester and was just informed by the teacher I need a 35mm film SLR camera. My mom brought out her old one but it is not in good shape and we've been told it would probably be cheaper just to buy one. So now you know what I know: I need a 35mm SLR film camera...

So, all-knowing head-fi community, as you may have guessed, I'm looking (sort of) into buying a car. My parents have decided to sell off the old van and my brother has my dad's '99 Avalon at school with him. I don't have the funds available right now, but I hope to have at least 2 jobs next...

In light of the joyous (for some) holiday approaching, what's the most creative costume you've seen/heard of/created? I recently heard a story of a guy who was originally not going to dress up. Walking back to his dorm he stumbled upon a large cardboard box. He cut out two holes and wrote in...

So nicknames are a fun part of our culture. I've been called 'Stish' since elementary school (part of my last name). I'm just transferring to a new school this fall where no one knows me. Now my question is, do I introduce myself as my nickname or do I tell them my actual name? How would...

Well it's August. Which means it's time for me to pretend I'm athletic by watching people who are much more muscular than I'll ever be run down fields and hit each other. Yes, gentlesirs and ladies, it's time for the annual Head-Fi fantasy football....thing. As usual, 8 teams to keep it...

So, being the illustrious undergrad that I am, I've decided to invest in a hammock. I'm working close to 40 hours a week this summer and could use something to relax on/with. However, I'd like something cheap, seeing as how I can only use it a select few months a year. I do know I'd prefer...

I'm applying to be a Resident Assistant at my university next year and I need to make a professional resumé. The one I've been using is the one developed in high school for applying to schools, so I feel an update is in order. However, some time on Google has lead me in millions of different...

Not to intentionally bash an entire medium of art, but I find poetry obnoxious and ridiculously pretentious. Whether it's reading it for school, for religion, for fun, friends poetry, or even my own...I just can't stand it. I realize some people think it beautiful and moving; some find it to...

My family was talking and the topic of pets was brought up. Apparently the monkey type found in Ace Ventura and Pirates of the Carribean can be bought and domesticated, albeit at a rather large premium. My brother took trumpet lessons in middle school, and his teacher had a pet prairie dog...

I'm currently an undergraduate and considering going to law school after graduation. I was wondering is there any real major a person should have if they are interested in law school? Right now I'm a double major in mass communications (focus in marketing) and acting, but I feel like those...

so my family is having a really odd thing going on with the internet. we all have a wireless network instead of plugging in. this morning it was working fine, but when we returned from my cousins this evening no one was able to connect. we did the usual unplug, let it sit, plug it back in...

I have some questions that I can not find in my notes/in the textbook/online for the life of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated: -A business established by government that performs functions that could be provided by the private sector is (). -What is the hiring process for a...

I was always under the impression when you wear socks to sleep, it increases the chance of athletes foot and similar foot problems, so i've always slept with them. however a few people on my floor here at school leave their socks on at night, so i wonder head-fi... how are your feet when...

It doesn't have to necessarily be Christian-themed, I just love the sound. For example, the Let It Be from Across The Universe or A Star is Born from the Disney move Hercules. anyone have recommendations?

i've had my new Toshiba P305 laptop for about a week now and I've had quite a few problems with vista already. the biggest has to do with the power. sometimes i'll set my desktop to hibernate when I go to class, and when I come back it'll be on but the screen won't respond no matter what I...

so my friends and are were all sitting around talking the other day and we learned that all of us used to play magic. so we dug out our old cards and we've been playing and it's been pretty fun. anyway, any head-fiers ever play this game? still play? i've got an elf deck and it's not good...

alright so my parents/brother are considering buying me a laptop as a late graduation present. they don't have much money, so i've been looking for cheap deals and need some suggestions. here's what i've got: Acer® Extensa EX4420-5239 14.1" Widescreen Notebook Computer With AMD Athlon™ 64 X2...

Well I'll be a freshman at Towson University in the fall. I move in on the 28th. I'm currently listed as a double major in Acting and American Studies. What scares me is that the American Studies degree appears to be more useless than I originally perceived. I mean, it's a topic that really...

well, i love everything about my ipod touch except the SQ. it's not the worst i've heard, but it's pretty far from the best. so i'm thinking it's time to amp, LOD, and upgrade/ so i'd really like to keep this as cheap as possible. i don't know anything else besides i have an ipod...the whole...

Well, it's that time of year again, where the couch coaches line turn down their music once a week to watch grown men in tight pants tackle each other so that our imaginary team does well. Yessir it's Fantasy football time again at Head-fi. Last year I believe we had 10 people which seemed...

So are these things really worth it? I've been looking at them and from what it looks like, they can run Counterstrike 1.6 and Starcraft pretty easily, which is the most demanding things I really do on my desktop... Anyway, is it really difficult to type on those things? Which are the best...

so i have a jailbroken ipod and i'm very happy with it. the only problem is i can't install gpSPhone. i can click it and press the install button but after it's done downloading, it simply take me back to my main page and nothing is there. can anyone help? i'm going to camp tomorrow and i'd...

Well I have a few questions. I'll be starting school in the fall and was wondering from other college-level students if laptops are especially useful or is it better to just stick with the desktop i already have? Anyway, I've been looking at laptops in the Dell Refurbished section, as my...
