Thanks for the answer. My Little is from 2001 or so and on the PSU module it says +/-12V @150mA so I may only put on 12V and see if that is enough. Now I just need to figure out which of the wires is the ground and I will be good to go.

When I was living in the US I had bought a Headroom Little. Now that I am in Europe I wanted to convert it to 220V. I thought this should be quite easy as there is a cheapy-looking external power supply. I thought I could just clip the cables and reconnect it to an off-the-shelf regulated 12V...

After going through 2 pair of Ety ER-6s with cable contact issues, I am wondering whether there are any cheaper and/or more robust alternatives (sound quality not so important due to spoken word podcasts) with similar insulation (from subway noise / not wanting to disturb fellow passengers)...

I am on my second pair of ER-6 now. The first pair developed intermittent contact problems on both sides where the cables connect inside the earpieces, i.e. depending on cable/earpiece location the sound comes on/goes off. I bought another pair and after a few months of heavy use I am...

In Europe, there isn't even the 512MB version available. Only the 256. Sigh.

I. Do I have any alternatives to the Ipod Shuffle? ----------------------------------------------- - I am looking for something in the $/€ 100 range; $/€ 150 is absolute max - I hate AAA rechargeables, I want something I can ideally charge on my laptop (which is always with me). I don't...

i sometimes print through walmart.com. no shipping charge if you pick up at the store.

I saw it and really liked it. Especially the bald guy.

Sportsnight, definitely. Essentially the networks have a basic rule: If I like it, they cancel it. Notable exception: Scrubs.

did the laundry worked on an amp what is unproductive about that day?

Laser printer all the way. Cost per page is a fraction of inkjet and you are not running out every week getting a new cartridge. The only thing to watch out for is sticker shock for the toner cartridge (e.g. $100, but then again it prints 5,000+pages).

From what I hear, it is still very questionable whether a sedan version will come out. The U.S. marketing department is of course really clamoring for one, but in Germany, e.g., sedans are often considered, ugly, impractical, and for older people.

Re. Leica. It is all a question of money. I use my friend's M7 once in a while, but it is still quite big and heavy. Nothing like some of the 70s fixed lens rangefinders which are truly pocketable. The viewfinder is to die for, though, and I hear the Bessa's comes very close and some even like...

Which of the Lowepro bags is it exactly? Does it have enough space for the other stuff one drags around on a day trip? (Water, raingear, a book, a notepad etc.?) I really like the idea but in the end, I've realized I just don't like to lug around a lot of stuff. Often just going out with...

I don't think you can just take SAT scores as a measurement of ability without controlling for post count. Once your post count is taken into account (maybe mention it in the personal essay), the score will look positively great. Hey, how many other people can perform at that level while...

Quote: Originally posted by Gergor I checked out dialpad a little more, and found out that the card expire in 120 days. I don't call that much so it could be a problem for me. This is the reason I don't use the really cheap calling card because most of the really cheap ones expire in a...

I've been using BigZoo for years. Pretty reliable, no connection fees, you get detailed billing (so you know where your money goes and minutes do not just disappear) and you can program in pin skip so I don't have to punch in all those numbers when calling from my home or office. In the old days...

I wanted to walk out of Jurrasic Park (the first one) and longingly watched others do just that.
