Minidisc players are very popular for a cheap method of recording audio at good quality. I have an old Sony MZ-N505 model and it has a line-in(can be optical), but the problem may be that it records in ATRAC. You would have to figure out a way to transfer it from mini-disc to Mac. I've had no...

Mixed feelings about this. I think it's mostly hype. There are many good PDA based phones already out there with established track records, and many more fuctions. One button? C'mon, anyone who's used a PDA knows buttons are essential. Even with buttons on the touchscreen, it will not be as...

Not really. Have to keep in mind that HD595's have a single cable going into the left ear, which makes it much harder to upgrade than say, the HD650 (which has a cable for each ear).

It's your iPod. I just plugged my SF5P into my iPod (5.5g) headphone jack to check. There is a hiss when there is nothing playing, but when I moved it back to my heaphone amp I hear nothing. So yes. The iPod is the source of the hissing.

Dude. Tell mom to chill out. If you apply for enough scholarships, you can get several easy. And if you really have a GPA that good, it should be no problem coupled with extra-cirriculars(sp). I graduated with a 3.69 (nonweighted), not the best GPA in my class, but I graduated 21st out of 358...

/agreed I watch FX for reruns of That 70's Show and the occational movie, but I loathe those commercials so much.

Another note. You should always carry a small folder that has some notes in it. Whenever you have some free time between classes, like an hour or so, pull it out and review for a bit. That adds up after a while. My schedule had 2 or 3 hours gaps on some days. Since I commuted (which takes from...

Just be glad it wasn't a tie. I'm so tired of getting ties for birthday/christmas from girlfriends. That's such a cop-out gift. If I were you, I'd hack that scooba. Make a personal robot out of it. Scare the dog.
