I tested the headphone-out of the iPhone 4S and 5 using the new earpods.  The mids are way more prominent on the 4S than the 5, distastefully so.  The earpods must have been designed with the iPhone 5 in mind, where the sound is much more balanced. I did the same test using the ATH-M50 and...

My fiancee went to see a dentist for the first time in a long time.   Upon the first visit, the dentist asks why she hasn't gone in so long.  Is it because she's afraid of bad news or that the dentist will try to upsell her?  Well, don't worry, they assured her, they're not that dentist!  ...

Originally my plan was to pull one of the bulbs out and take it to Home Depot to find a suitable replacement.  Instead I went to Home Depot and found the replacement bulbs first.  After seeing a new bulb outside of its socket, I realized where the base begins and had no trouble pulling it out...

I don't know how to remove the bulbs.  Do I just pull them out?

I know this looks bad, but I need assistance in changing some light bulbs.  These are the bulbs in question:     The bulbs have "Sylvania Dulux S" written on them, and they're 13 watt bulbs.  Has anyone changed one of these before?

I think searching for an entry level job in a technical field is the best way to break into database administration.  Even something like customer service for a tech company, working hard for a few months/years while learning database administration, and then applying to an opening within the...

For database management books, I think perhaps you should just go to Amazon and search for "database administration".  There are several kinds of databases, each with its own set of relevant books.  Maybe try this one out:  ...

I must reply again just to say that MrGreen's reference Kohlberg's stages of moral development (on page 5 of this thread) was superbly relevant to this discussion.  Thanks for that MrGreen.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohlberg's_stages_of_moral_development

Quote from http://topics.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei from the United States Constitution:   My interpretation of the above clause is that government is concerned with protecting a citizen's right to their intellectual property for a limited period of time, so that they can...

I recently purchased an iPad for my fiancée, as a gift, which I'm currently browsing and typing on. As a preface, occupationally, I'm a developer, so I tend to approach things from a technical perspective. The iPad removes the overhead of using a laptop or computer. You are not...

I've only sent out resumes to a couple of places on sfbay.craigslist.org. However, I've gotten no replies back so far. But truthfully I'm probably not trying as hard as I should be, given the economic conditions. If it helps, this news article is the one that alarmed me to California's budget...

I'm in software development. She has a job guaranteed for her in San Francisco. I hope that makes things more clear. Thanks for the replies so far, I appreciate your advice.

Hey all, I'm just looking for a little bit of advice. My fiancee wants to move to San Francisco to pursue professional aspirations. I'm inclined to follow, but am a little bit unsure given the state budget crisis in parallel with the national recession. If you lived in Seattle with a...

Why is this guy getting so much media attention?

So many leads, where to start? I guess I'll start with the battery connectors and maybe the fuel injection cleaner. Those shouldn't cost me an arm and a leg!

Haha that sucks big time. I've ordered food and had it delayed for 2 hours, but I just call the place because it's not closed. Time to hit Jack in the Box?

LOL that is a great image. There are bound to be outliers and people are bound to die one way or another. Let's just chalk this one up as a freak accident and keep listening to our music.

Maybe it's too soon to say so, but it also seems to stutter less or not at all when the air conditioning or heat is off. Does this behavior strengthen or weaken any theories?

In case you didn't see it yet, Starbucks made some changes to their logo. It might be a good conversation piece. Here's a link: Group finds Starbucks logo too hot to handle

She goes out a lot. Meeting people isn't the problem, it's finding someone who is normal and shares the same outlook as her. She meets lots of duds and people who just aren't right for her. Seattle is a city full of singles who don't know how to get together, and unfortunately my friend is one...

I've got a friend who's desperate for some love. So far we've set her up on match.com. Anyone have any success on match.com, eharmony, craigslist, or any others? If all else fails, maybe we can start a head-fi matchmaking service? Any lonely guys in seattle between the ages of 25 and 30?

For a few months now, my 2001 Honda Civic has been stuttering. It usually happens when I'm close to a full stop, accelerating or decelerating. All the electronic in my car will turn off, then turn back on... I took it to the Honda dealership, and they determined it was something wrong with...
