I think i saw a thread like this before, but couldn't find it. Back then was then, now is now, so I am going to ask what EDC you think is good. My question to you guys is three parts. Part1. What EDC are you using now? Part2. What EDC would you like to buy when your current EDC is gone...

CBS news 60min 12/14/2008 This video makes sense to me for what's comming next year or two. They are talking about some daunting numbers. See for yourself and get yourself prepared.

Just saw this. Hope you laugh as much as I did. **** Dear wife: I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever. I've been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that...

Hey guys. I know there're lot of you live in US, and regulary call your friends and family outside the US. I need opinions from you. ** My international calling company (AT&T) jacked up the international calling rate. The rate used to be a half of what they are charging now. I haven't...

I think every one of you has something don't want to eat. Because of religion, because of the texture, taste, smell, family tradition, bad memory related to a certain food, or simply don't eat it without reason. In my case, it's chicken. I used to eat chicken, then somehow someday I lost...

It's almost winter, and that means we got big sale season in front of us. You know, black friday, christmas season, new year sales events etc. But due to the bad economic situation this year, I am wondering if people can buy things as they did before or not. So, let's poll it for fun. I...

Setting aside all those fancy stuff a soundcard can offer for a while. As far as I know of, simple USB dac like alienDAC is not supporting directX acceleration. Even if it supports directX acceleration, I assume it's not as fast as what X-fi processor can do. Also, USB 1.1 chip like PCM2702...

Sorry, if this question is odd for some of you. But it is kind of serious matter to me, and it took some guts for me to ask this. I am not a native enlish speaker. Even if I studied, married and lived here in US more than 10 years, the word "buddy" still is weird to me. I sometimes don't...

I am not sure if this is true or not. But the article I read somewhere said... The outcome of the Redskins' last home game before a presidential election has been an accurate barometer for which party gets in the white house 17 of the last 18 times. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party...

Kind of odd question though, I want to know how old is too old for that. Last year, and the year before last year. I saw bunch of guys (yeah, not kids) were knocking my door "demanding" (not asking) treat. Gosh, They were bigger than me and some of them had mustache arround their neck looked...

Hello guys. My old 19 inch CRT starts flicking, makes couple lines at the top part of the screen. I guess it is time to get a new one. To my surpise, I am not able to find any LCD monitor recommendation thread yet, thus I think it is good time to make one. What I am thinking about buying...

I am playing a game called guildwar2. The more i play, the angrier I got. Average ping while I am in the game, is about 600ms. The worst ping i got was 28000ms. This is almost a dead sentence if the game is FSP game. Not much differ in Action RPG. I am shooting at the guy, and 3 sec...

This is what's happening near riverside, CA. Foreclosure Alley (edit: embed tag is not working. I am adding link instead of the video itself) Crazy things are happening there. To me, it does not look like a simple foreclosure. There must be something more painful than that. Some people...

Ok, I just finished phone call with my cable company. Here's what happened. I never had strong signal, but I didn't really mind as long as I can see some of my favorite channels without breaking or freeze up. Then those channels started go bad, and I found two other channels that used to...

I am using MS comfort optical 3000 mouse at home. It was ok so far for two years, Then its right button is failing. I guess its time to get a new one. I am not a heavy gamer, so simple 2 button mouse with wheel would be ok for me. But I do play games occasionally and I want it to be smooth...

Ok, we now all know prez bush's economy stimulous plan has been passed, and we probabaly get money at the end of this May. I am kind of interested in whether his plan is going to work or not. But I'd rather set this sort of "political/economic/or anything complicated than 1+1" matter aside...

2007 has almost passed, and 2008 is just couple days away. 2007 was chaotic for me. Lots of things happened, and the most of them are not very favorable to me. I sort of feel grateful for that I somehow managed year of 2007 without big problems. I wish you all the best for the year 2008...

I was waiting for my package from mouser. But it was not delivered even after a week, so I tried to find what's going on. What i learned was that the address on the label is not correct. The address on the label is like 2134 A-street, while correct address is like 1234 A-street. I don't...

I mean, What is happening in these days? I remember those Christmases few years ago are not like this. They were more cheerful and marrier with all those lights, trees, and ornaments. We could see them all over the place, we can hear all those Christmas carols whenever we turned on the radio...

You looks younger than you are or the opposite? I know this guy called William and he and I am of the same age. Actually I am few months older than him though.... The thing is... I look younger than actually I am. Some people may say it is good, but ... well... its not so good as they...

Hello guys. I got a question regarding paypal options. My paypal account is verified, which means I added my bank account to my paypal account along with credit card account. I guess most of you did this too. One thing I do not like is, it took money from my bank account rather than...

I usually do not things on impulse. I took my time and check few things before buy things. So, I feel comfortable about what I bought in most cases. But, about the audio parts... especially caps and tubes, things are bit differ. I just won few 12AU7 tubes at ebay. I saw them, I bid at...

Sorry if this question sounds silly or odd. I want to hear about climacteric disturbance from seniors and/or docs. What symptons you're gonna get when you hit a certain age, let say 50? And how to deal with those symptons? I have a close relative who is 57 yr old male, and he is in...

Simple answer like "yes" or "no" would be fine, further info/explantion would be appreciated. Do you think same kind of mosfets from different manufacturers sound differently? For example, suppose you're trying to make Zen headamp. All parts are in, and you somehow have several IRF610s...
