Does anyone know if there is some kind of "auto-pause" feature in FF 2.0? I found--viz. Stumble Upon--a page with a "100 Best Covers" list and some sound samples/you tube clips. It wasn't doing it last night, but for some reason if that tab or FF isn't the focus, it is automatically pausing the...

As the title says, I'm looking for a source for a Waterman Phileas. Preferably in the gift box with several cartridges, the blotter papers, bottle of ink, and converter. My only caveat is that I'd love to get a fine nib, while the "package" set I describe comes with medium. I found an e-tailer...

Alright--to make a long story short, I'm looking to get an iPod, and it looks like for the price of a 4Gen + the extra firewire cable I may as well just get the 5G and a PCMCIA USB 2.0 card. This is predicated on my laptop having a PCMCIA card--its got a cardbus card, and while a combination of...

So I mentioned a way back that I was planning on purchasing an iPod, and was now going to bring that goal to fruition. However, I'm unclear--are the 5G (particularly the "old" 60GB 5G iPods) compatible with Firewire? My laptop doesn't have USB 2.0, but it does have a firewire port.

I wanted to get a smartwrap from Sumajin (because hes a sponser and all) if/when I order a K 81DJ. But, an automatic charge of $5 for shipping?! $10 for a little piece of plastic? Throw it in an envelope man, cause I've gotta pass. Anyone know of alternatives that are suitably light weight? I...

Sorry that I've created so many nearly redundant posts in the last few days. Call me anal, I guess. Long story short: need portable headphones. Will be used at work in a university library, so must be closed/leak very little. Also used on CTA (buses and trains), walking around, and potentially...

I had a thread up earlier and have been doing some research to choose a portable can for use with a DAP of some sort (most likely an iPod, unless someone can provide a compelling argument otherwise and point me in directions to research). The cans will mainly see use at work in a university...

I haven't been looking for headphones in quite some time; I've got an SR-60 and a Senn HD-650 and have been extremely pleased with both in the time I've had them. Now, however, its time for me to build a small and cheap portable solution. I'm working in the campus library, and everyone there...

Many moons ago, I had an iPod--it was a 3rd Gen. Now that I've started working in the library, I would really like to get one again--in fact, given the lack of serious time to just enjoy my set-up, I'm thinking of selling it and waiting to reinvest til post college--to make the time pass faster...

So I've been trying to get a game to run at a decent framerate on my laptop with the help of some people over at laptopvideo2go.com. Something that came up was the possibility that the inside of my case is dirty. I bought a can of compressed air to clean out the fan vents--I was very careful...

Alright, I realize my laptop is no gaming machine, but this is pathetic: I stumbled upon (literally) a neat little game called "Flow" at http://www.jenovachen.com/flowingames/ . It was locking up and going extremely slow, so I thought maybe if I downloaded it I would have better luck. No dice. I...

Hey Head-fi, Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. The LCD screen on my (two-year old) laptop broke, which has left me computerless for sometime. I tried getting it repaired, but it would have been $600, and just not worth it considering the cost of the laptop and what a new one would cost...

All of the other threads have been pictures and aesthetics. I realize its a bit early for impression, but I (and I imagine several others) am interested in the sound. I've always been interested in a pair of either Grado MS-2s or SR-225s to supplement my Senns for rock. Can we get some kind of...

Computer Gurus, Recently my laptop LCD screen has been completely schmucked up. I haven't made any system changes in several months (the only minor changes being updated antivirus, spyware, and Windows XP--no drivers or anything). Normally I turn my notebook on and leave it run all day, as...

My girlfriends mom asked me to scan in some old photos for reprinting/resizing. I've got an HP 2410 all-in-one, and I'm having a devil of a time getting the scanner to scan colors right. I'm just using the default HP program to scan. The preview looks fine, but when I actually scan it in the...

Recently I ran a full system scan with my free copy of AVG antivirus and came up with four infected files, all infected with: Java/ByteVerify. Two of them were moved to the virus vault, but two of them are embedded in Java programming (apparently). I've tried googling and searching...

In this thread, several technical criticisms were leveled at the G&W TW-J1. I contacted the official distributor of the amps and asked what gave. They told me they would get in touch with the designer to find out whats going on, and promised a response from him. Here it is: Ok, actually...

I wasn't really sure where to post this, but hopefully someone can give me some advice--last night after watching a DVD player, I stopped the disk and hit open--the tray was empty. I tried closing it and reopening the try to eject the DVD, but no dice. The DVD is somehow stuck on the spindle, as...

A while ago I had been ripping audio with EAC and Lame. However, I recently was forced to wipe my computer and seem to have misplaced my backup...can anyone direct me to the latest and greatest versions of EAC and Lame (note: if latest does not equal greatest in either case, please direct me to...

I've got a pair of hemp shoes that are getting pretty grungy looking. I've tried checking the manufacturer's website (Adidas) and googling for help, but no dice--anyone know how to safely and effectively clean hemp? I already tried running them through the washing machine on gentle cycle with a...

Seeing as how head-fi has lately become home to not only a great number of audio enthusiasts, but also amateur digital photographers, I'll do a quick query here. I've got some photographs stuck in limbo on my digital camera from the holiday break that I need to transfer to my computer, but I...

No, not for drug use. I've got a pair of hemp shoes (incredibly durable), but they're getting dirty--any clues on how to clean em? I've been googling, et cetera to no avail. TIA.

What with the wide variety of interests on Head-fi, I'll give this post a shot: I'm an avid skiier, and am looking for a site that can give me info on all things skiing, although specifically I'm looking to pick up some good goggles. Anyone know of any info sites, review sites, forums, or even...

I've heard several reports of the microphonics on Etys, ranging from not all that bad if clipped to your shirt to can't move your head--so which is it? I was considering these as a Christmas gift item, as I'd kind of like some portable cans. I would be using them while walking down the street...

Anyone know where I can find a solid SNES emulator online? I'd really love to play some Legend of Zelda, but I have neither my SNES or a TV here at school. Thanks!
