When I first discovered Head-Fi, I went through several budget setups over the course of a year, escalating to a Corda Aria and then settling in to my current rig, which I've had for 3 years now. I've had my AKG k271S for 4 years though. Having stopped being a Head-Fi regular since I'm happy...

This may not be the best forum to go to for this, but it's the only forum I'm registered on besides ubuntuforums. So, my friend just got Rock Band for the Wii plus an extra wireless guitar, making two in total. We couldn't both guitars to sync with the little USB dongle at the same time...

Antivirus software is completely unnecessary for both Macs and PCs. As long as you run Linux. Or GNU. Or BSD. EDIT: Or Mac OS X.

As a university student, the amount of sleep I get each night varies quite a bit, from around 9 hours (rare) to about 4 in some extreme cases. What I've found is that I feel good when I wake up after 8 or more hours. As the amount drops to 7.5 and decreases, I feel horrible when I wake up and...

Good to see the ol' site up and at 'em again. Great work as usual, Jude and co.!

I recently started job at a local drugstore which has (cleverly) placed its toy aisle so that it's in direct view of the children who come in with their parents. Consequently, I quite often hear cries of "DADDY, DADDY, I WANT IT!", "LOOK AT THIS HELICOPTER, IT'S SO AWESOME!", and so on. I've...

That MR2 is badass. Looks really clean! The engine bay could use some tidying up, though. Hope it turns out well! My cousin has a late 1st-gen MR2 and it's great. Those engines can last for over 250k miles, too. If I were looking for a sports car (I sure wish I was), I wouldn't settle for...

I'll definitely post pictures when I'm done - maybe in a new thread. The Mogami cable I used has two separate cables for each channel which can be pulled apart to make the desired length of split. I pulled it apart and then put heatshrink around the end of the split to hopefully keep it from...

Long story short: I'm recabling my ex-roommate's Triports. (Yeah yeah, "U SHOOD GIVE HIM A PIAR OF KSC-75 OR EVEN BETTER A PUNCH IN THE MOUTH LOL!!!!111 BOTH OF THEM ARE WAAAY BETTUR THEN BOSE!!" Give it a rest.) I've put together the new cable, which is a Mogami which splits, terminated with...

I came in a bit late, around '97 with AOL on a 28.8 kbps modem. The computer was a Packard Bell Pentium II 120MHz, with 8 MB of RAM and a 1.2 GB hard drive. Windows 95. I was in third grade. AOL had a great database of computer game demos that you could download for free. I did that all the...

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=214703 For me, it was Counter-Strike and CS: Source. College has pretty much pushed video games out of my life, though. Definitely a good thing. Once you step back and evaluate video games from afar, you feel kind of ridiculous spending so much...
