I performed an Aux-Input hack mod on my RX8 and it requires me to use an 80 minute silent audio CD in wav format. I can purchase one for 8 bucks (not including shipping) but I rather not. I used Windows sound recorder to record 60 seconds of silence through an input that wasn't in use, so that...

I was at the gym kicking a MMA bag with my right leg while standing on my left. Just my luck, I stepped on a f'ing peanut (WHO eats peanuts in a MMA training room anyways?) while kicking, slipped, felt my ankle collapse then my whole leg twist. EVerything just went slow motion and I felt my...

Last week I brought a pair of "Skullcandy Ink'd" IEMs from my campus bookstore. My Ipod earbuds broke when I dropped my ipod in the rain that day (EEEEK!). It was a temporary pair of IEMs anyways so I figured that I'd spend a measly 7 dollars on a pair in white and see what this whole new fad is...

We're still stuck in our immature high school modes, so we're looking for pranks to do around campus. We already have the saran wrap + toilet prank and using a fishing line to trip people prank. No car pranks needed. We already tried googling but couldn't come up with anything good.

My Sony SCD-1 is in need of repair. It's not reading the discs. The discs are fine and the SCD-1 played them without a problem before. The past few days it's been taking a dump obviously since it's not reading them. I'm looking for a place to repair the SCD-1 and preferably in the NYC area.

Hi. I have a Canon Elan 7e SLR (film) that came with the "not-so-good" 28-90 EF USM kit lens. I am looking to upgrade the lens because the kit lens is really holding the quality of the images back and it doesnt seem like the money i spend on film and developing them is worth it. I would like a...

My Denon DA-345R Receiver's volume control took a dump. Well, it was a gift from my uncle and he go it for free from work. I believe one of the channel was faulty and he (tried to) fixed the volume pot. Both channel works but the left channel's volume is lower than the right and the right...

I need to know the difference between The Canon EOS Rebel Ti and the K2. What's the difference between the 28-80mm lens and the 28-90mm lens other than zoom? Both are kit lens but the K2 28-80mm is called the EF 28-80 II and the 28-90mm kit lens is called EF 28 to 90mm II USM? Ti with 28-90mm...
