    ASOS sizing?

    Has anyone bought ASOS-branded clothes before? What are their jackets like in terms of sizing? I have purchased an ASOS oxford shirt in XS before and it was too tight, whereas an ASOS cardi in XS fit perfectly, so now I am unsure if the rest of their brand is inconsistently sized (I have also...

    I don't get how the LCD monitor refresh rate fixed blurriness

    So I was just playing around connecting my lcd monitor to my laptop for a bit, and after a while I turned it off and connected it back to my desktop computer.

With Naked ADSL, is it okay to bypass the splitter altogether and connect...

    Guitar amps: hearing risk?

For example what if you put your amp's Gain level = 10, Drive volume = 2, then turn your Guitar volume = 7 or...

    B-Sides Rate an artist: Linda Ronstadt

    The first time I had ever heard Linda Ronstadt sing was a couple of days ago when I saw her on ABC2 performing in the 1976 'Concert Behind Prison Walls' (headlined by Cash). Very captivating I must say! EDIT: here's some youtube clips. hr9vKWLgZzo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr9vKWLgZzo...

    Imprints left by 30-day trial programs?

    Hey guys, you know those trial programs that function fully for 30 days, then after that stops working... do they leave some sort of imprint on your computer? Because if you delete the program, then try reinstalling it, it still says your "30 day trial is over". (Although after a Windows...

    Bit of a weird question but: If you have mould growing under your carpets or inside your walls, what is it supposed to smell like? Dry and dusty or... sour and disgusting?

    Burning rubber/electronics?

    A couple of days ago I plugged in and started up an old computer from way back in 1998. I went out of the room for a few minutes while it started up, and came back to smell something like a mix of burning rubber and electronics! (a quick search on google indicates that this may be due to the...
