I am asking because my brother pointed this out to me: PayPal Adds Fees, Sneakily - PC World I will still use paypal, I guess. But just want to know if there are more options.

Alright, so I recently found out that Manga released a dub of this in the UK -- does anyone know if Dreamworks has any plans to negotiate something similar for the US? Or should I just go ahead and get the UK version? Also, according to the Wiki page, if the DVD says "V4" on the spine, then the subtitling is corrected (I.E. it's no longer the closed captioned version). Hirsch, you should do this. Then, you'd at least get the non-intrusive subtitles, for free, no less.

I don't know if he's a member here, or whether anyone else has shared this, but I really like the "New Posts" search he's created that is designed to search just for gear that is for sale. It pulls in all Buy/Sell/Trade subforums. Thought it might be useful for others as well. Thread: How to exclude forums from "New Posts" - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio Link referred to above: Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio ^ This is the link toward the bottom of his opening post. As he mentions, it would need to be updated periodically to exclude any new non-FS forums that may be added from time to time. I've added it…

Sadly, the Rover must have finally caught up with No. 6 Patrick McGoohan died today after a short illness. I hope he finds out who is No. 1.

I am considering purchasing THIS model drill press from Wilton. Anybody have any comments yeah or neah?

In my wanderings across the world wide web I came across Spintricity: High-end Audio Adventurers - Volume 1 Number 4 - Where the Music Is Interesting how they describe their aim here: Spintricity - Got Music? "So what are we going to do about it? First, we have no reviews. Or to be more precise, we have no reviewers Instead we encourage manufacturers and dealers, perhaps in conjunction with a writer or photographer, to submit articles about their equipment. Articles will be screened to maintain a high level of information content and a low level of marketing speak [we sell advertising space for those]." Four Issues out so far Their navigation …

I just had to re-install windows after a harddrive failure (thank christ I had my music backed up on another drive). I really don't want to set foobar up again. I'd like to steal your components folder and any other file I'd need to have your setup. All I am looking for is and setup were the music is organized by artist and album I don't care about anything else. It would be nice it it looked pretty but I just want foobar back. Thanks, aaron. It was about a year ago that I looked everything up and got it just how I like it but now I've forgotten everything and really don't want to go through that again. P.S. it can be sent to my gmail address which is; aaronco…

I have a pair of two year old, Sennheiser HD650's with the usual flaking enamel around the headband. There is also a piece of enamel that's flaked off on the back side of the ear cup joint. Pricing this is pretty easy. Here's the part I need help with. It will also come with a 1.2 meter Zu Mobius cable terminated in a mini. Sick I know but I just wanted to see if I liked the mobius sound and at the time my only amp was the SR-71. The mobius came up rather cheap and I decided to buy it. I will also be shipping it with the original cable, mini < 1/4 adapter and original box. I even put a fancy latch on the box for transport. How the hell should I price these?

... cannot believe all these other sites discriminating against me for how far away I live or how fast I want something.

Although I have trepidation about the coming year, I'm going to keep a positive attitude for now. Wishing a great year for our Head - Case family! Even Brent. 🙂 Easy on the biscuits for 2025 though B.

TRUE STORY (HAPPENED LAST WEEK'S FRIDAY AT WORK). : "Alright guys, see ya around, and enjoy your lunch!" I picked up after myself, heading out the door with my carry-on lunch bag. My colleagues waved good-byes. As I opened the door, I saw her figure a few feet in front of me: Christina was walking down the hall. Christina is an unmistakable young little beauty. She is one of those women you simply just look at and do not want to touch in fear that when you do, she will forever vanish in a puff of smoke, leaving you wondering why the gods played such cruel jokes on us mortals. But this was no vision: there she was, walking down the corridor towards her cubicle.…

Just read the following interview of the founder of Dwolla - an online payment company that has a very simple fee structure. Twenty-five cents. Transaction for $50? $.25 fee. Transaction for $5000? $.25 fee. The catch? No credit cards. But read the article. Those of us who have sold or bought high ticket items have been through the PayPal fee shit, and these guys seem to want to beat that. I have zero affiliation with them, other than I just opened an account after reading the info. So take a look - it might be very useful. I saw it originally on BoingBoing. http://www.businessi...w-years-2011-11

Being in the software industry and with most of our customers being developers we don't run into that many stupid customers but man today I think we found a nominee for retard of the year. We recieved an email from a customer that was having problems placing an order on our website, the first thing I do is check the credit card processing log to see if the card was rejected. Low and behold it was but the funny part is that he tried to place the order 14 times with the following in the "card holder name" field: platinum Pplatinum Mastercard Master card platinum :laugh:

Happy Thanksgiving d-_-b ! There are still some things to be thankful for. #NFLO

Hey guys, anyone of you live within driving distance of SAN RAFAEL, CA (94901) ? I want to buy a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1 book shelf speakers from someone who lives there, but the buyer prefers local pick up over international shipping. Does anyone mind helping me pick them up and then shipping it to me? I'd be really grateful if someone here could lend me a helping hand. You can have fun with the speakers in your system, and then when you're done with it, all I need is for you to help ship them off to me. I really, really want these speakers, have been searching for some time now; its impossible to get them over here. Any help you guys can throw my way would be …

If so could someone mail me a copy? I don't mind burning a few and sending them out to whoever wants one.
