I seem to be having some issues with the Edit button on here... It's submitting new posts instead?   Anyway, yeah. I haven't actually measured but the Grado cable looks like it should fit a .25" diameter jack. For pads, I would look at the Head-Fi sponsors that sell Grados.

Not hard at all, IMO. Soldering a new plug on just requires steady hands and adhering to some simple rules. You can pick up a cheap iron at Radio Shack that will suffice for something like this for what you'd pay to ship your headphones elsewhere. If you Google, you can find instructions on...

Most of the 120 Hz TVs have something called motion interpolation. This is what causes the unnaturally fluid motion people are complaining about, and you should be able to disable it. It may play a role in reducing motion blur, but I've read that motion blur on LCDs is mainly caused by the...

Quote: You can just hit clear at the bottom left and it deletes your editing and takes you out of edit mode.   Also, I'm not sure if Head-Fi had this enabled or not, but I believe you can opt to delete your posts entirely in Vbulletin, and I don't see an option for that here.

Specifically, it's the Indian Head test card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Head_test_card   Edit: Ugh, I need to read the whole thread before replying. Can we delete posts on the new Head-Fi?

From what I understand, the ratings agencies rated these investments as safer than they turned out to be. At any rate, we're all having to deal with the broader ramifications of these bad mortgages being issued when they shouldn't have been.

They won't let you take an SLR into many concerts. Stupid rule IMO. Maybe they are more tolerant at smaller venues?

How is this guy involved in two tech businesses and unfamiliar with a kilobyte? Even if someone isn't tech savvy, surely they come across typical file sizes for different media just by using stuff like MP3 players, digital cameras, etc?

Tivoli makes a couple of such radios that run off AA batteries. There was a thread on here about em in off topic a yr. or 2 ago. Tivoli Audio, LLC - iPod Playback Systems

Here are a couple: 2.4G Wireless Mini Keyboard with Touchpad -- Black C709B [C709B] - US$48.99 : TOMTOP Wholesale Center Lenovo - Find accessories for your laptop and desktop - Keyboards & Mice 57Y6336

If you want to do this cheaper, Canon has a 200mm 2.8 prime that is around $800 at Adorama. It is also much more compact than a 70-200 2.8. There is also a 135mm f/2 L lens around $1k. It won't have enough reach for soccer, but it would be something to look into for indoor sports. As for Canon...

I think Guns N' Roses would be great. Live and Pearl Jam would also be good.

This is just my opinion, but I hate the small viewfinders some budget bodies have. The Rebel T2i looks like it has a lot of trickle down features from the 7D, so it should be technically excellent, but I don't like my Rebel's viewfinder. The small size is a mixed bag- great for carrying around...

I had several in high school... a HPI Nitro RS4, a Tamiya Pajero crawler, and some Mini-Zs. I found them more fun to build than to actually play with. They also seem to break something every time you run them... total money pit.

Tim, a typical netbook processor (Atom) is about as fast as a Pentium 3. If your Mac is feeling slow, I think you should look at CULV laptops for a similar package with much better performance. They will also have bigger keyboards since they are in the 13" range, and they aren't limited to the...

Possible world record - FM Forums Thought everyone would find this interesting.

The movements in Seiko 5s have been known to run forever with no maintenance. Good thing too because the entire watch costs less than getting something nicer serviced.

I believe releasing the IP from your computer will just fetch it a new IP from the router, not get your router a new WAN IP from the modem. That's what the Linksys help is probably referring to. Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1 Leave the username blank and type admin for the password. Once...

Can you get into the router's web interface? Some ISPs require you to clone your computer's MAC address. That might be something to look into later on.

Amazon.com: Acer Aspire AS1410-8414 11.6-Inch Sapphire Blue Laptop - 6 Hour Battery Life: Electronics This is probably the only one on the market that fits your criteria (including price). I don't trust Acer quality though. I've seen several of their monitors die.

I'd get the Panny. DPReview picked that one as the best budget camera in a recent test.
