I just did this with some sennheiser canalphones i had laying around... cracking open the buds was a pain, but it was easy after that.

Thanks James!
Shame my 450ROG died in 2005, exactly one year and one month after purchase... I think the year i had it in warranty it spent more time with gateway than with me. Terrible product.
I'd always loved TiVo, and today I switched to a Motorla box from Comcast... this thing is garbage, but $800 is a joke. I want an HD DVR, and I've had TiVo for 3 years, but I can't pay $800 for it.
I just ordered 39 of the 190fp's for a corporate setup, and quite a few of them had similar issues, a few had even odder issues... Dell just isn't a quality product, it's a shame, it's pretty nicely designed otherwise.
I think my major problem with SUV's remains the bumper height issue... with so many on the road, anyone who chooses to drive a car is at serious risk if they are in an accident with an SUV. I was rear ended by a larger GM SUV last year, and what should have been a minor bumper-to-bumper 5mph impact ended up causing a few thousand dollars of damage to my hatch lid, rear quarterpanels, and light clusters.

I'm not saying the driver of the SUV has no right to drive the car, but she was pretty upset and I bet her insurance went through the roof.

Common bumper height laws! You have every right to drive an SUV, if you want to, but they should be required to be just as safe on the road and follow all of the laws that regular old cars do.
I have the e3c now... and they're too sound isolating, this little add-on will make them perfect. As it is, i can't hear my office phone ring (a foot from my head) with them on at a very low volume.
As a former Mac Hater, I can attest to the halo effect being pretty potent. Two years ago I would never have touched a mac, then one day my Rio Karma died a inexplicable death and i bought an iPod. Now I have a 15" Powerbook, a mac mini, a 20gb 4g iPod, on and on. I've seen this happen to half a dozen people as well. But the iPod will pass, just like the walkman did, Apple just has to anticipate the next move in a few years. And it's not a video iPod.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
