Just installed XP on a brand new system and It's working marvelously. I keep hearing about all the problems and hastles associated a/ Vista. I'm afraid to try it.

Well, it was one of those where I didn't see it on the main page so I created it and like on page 2 or 3 ... there it is! I really must learn to go a few pages deeper before going into a new one. Search even!

I'm planning of fabricating one up at work from RV axle parts. When i get done, I'll post pics.

CMOYs are indeed simple. You can find kits out there and grab a soldering iron and have at it. I learned how to solder on my first CMOY and after some serious discussion on this forum, decided on a bad amp as the main problem with my circuit. This forum is a beautiful place to bounce...

I'm technically listening to the WoW in-game music, but queued in my winamp player is a full listing of every Chemical Brothers song out there. Can't wait to delve into it and listen to all their great stuff

LOL I noticed those shortly after I made this one. *sigh* Sorry for the duplicate.

I use a bic as well, for home audio stuff as well as some heat shrink useage at work. They're the cheapest and easiest. If you hold the heatshrink to the side of the flame instead of above it, you can avoid the scorching. Just get it close enough to apply the heat from the flame, you don't want...

The socket in your source took a poo on ya. Either turn it in under warranty, or, if you are truely adventurous, break it open and try and re-solder the socket to the PCB inside. I've done that on my Dell DJ 30 before it took a final dump, and I traded it in for a shiney new Cowon iAudio A2...

I recently finished Storm Front, a Harry Dresden novel that was suggested by a friend of mine. I need to go pick up the next book in the series, it was a great story. So be it for business, for class, or for pleasure, what currently holds your bookmark?

Worst agony: Knowing that the stuff is going to be dropped off today, getting out of work early in order to sign for the stuff and having to sit, waiting for the package for 4 hours. In my case, it was a brand new computer I had ordered piecemeal from New-egg, and my old one was in the...

Yeah, and I'm usually the poor guy getting snuck up behind... Not cool. Funny, but not cool.

I'm trying to sell my laptop, but since I'm not over 50 threads yet I can't post it here . I had a Dell XPS Gen 2, and It was a sufficient gaming rig when in my room playing WoW or other miscellaneous games. At ~8 lbs, it was a beast to carry to class, but that's what backpacks are for...

"Halt, who goes there?" Small Soldiers

My Dell DJ 30 finally bit the dust after about 2-3 years. It can still play fine, but the little button / scroll wheel thingy in the front fell off and a contact broke off, and there's no way i can solder it. It's just not fixeable, It's warranty is long gone and i need something with better...

Technically, yeah you can do that. Crossing will give you the right voltages. However... The fact is, you may have some subtle fluke right now that's reversing the voltages, and once everything's finished, or you replace the batteries the first time, the voltages could go back to teh...

For me, music is one of those things that can change my mood from one end of the spectrum to the other. I can get pumped up for my soccer games by listening to certain songs, get into a calm one in order to fall asleep, etc. I've also been playing classical music in my school's orchestra for...

I just ordered some V-moda Bass EQ IEMs in Bling Bling Black and a DVD from Amazon.com. I actually payed for shipping in order to get them at a reasonable time. I need them to put together a rig to listen to music while I weld at work.

I second an MX Revolution. It fits my hand very well, i use the wheel all the time because of video games and web surfing. The battery works great too. I had a problem with a charging error once, but it was easily fixed in 20 min by throwing a 30 ohm resistor into the power leads of the charger...

Ok, perhaps my phones aren't working correctly. I'll check with a second pair and see if there's a difference.

Joshadot: Cool site. Are you going to be selling some of the boards? Dost thou havest pics of the design? -------------------------------------------------------- Now that I've finally gotten it working, I've been testing to see how much it amplifies the sound, and in all honesty, I...

can you define extension and instrument separation? I can glean instrument separation, but extension I'm lost as to relation to sound. I'm not looking for any certain emphasis on bass, no. So, I'm thinking I'd rather go with extension and separation...

There is no way I can get my forum count up fast enough, but I have to say, this an awesome idea. Kudos on an awesomely fun deal. And in case for some reason I do hit 150 by the 15th... I want the Golden Euphoria

In the WoW ToC, separating the key (and adjoining account) and the discs that go with it is illegal (as far as selling goes). You need to keep them together. Anyone that downloads the game needs only pay a $40 activation fee online and they are a full registered player. Buying a CD key off...

Leaded solder has been used for eons because there is just nothing better. As far as I've read, there's very little. Tangent covers basics on soldering in a nice ~30 min video here. Searching on google for about 10 minutes yields nothing about lead solder being a problem because of the...

No i haven't, that's the thing. I'm a complete ignoramoose (made up, don't google it) when it comes to headphones. All I know is that I like big around the ear ones, and what music I like. Is there a list somewhere of a run-down of eash manufactiurer's speciality, and why they are good for...
