    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Is there a thread or set of posts somewhere with guidelines on how a hat should fit? Like, how tight it should be, how far above your ears it should sit, how much space between the top of your head and the hat, etc. I used to be confident that I knew these things by a kind of a priori...

    Home wireless file sharing

    Unless WinXP has changed, you can't do this because of domain/workgroup incompatabilities. If you want a drive both machines can interact with, a network drive may be what you're looking for. There are premade options or you can always set up your own share using Linux/FreeBSD with the...

    Home wireless file sharing

    Thanks guys, but... Sharing stuff on the desktop doesn't seem to make it visible on the laptop (possibly because the laptop is a work machine and set to be part of the domain there, whilst the desktop is part of a home workgroup). So it's not as straightforward as the "Network...

    Home wireless file sharing

    I feel like an idiot for having to ask this, but I can't figure out how to do something that must be pretty straightforward. StyleForum has always provided good answers to tech queries, so here goes... I have both a desktop and a laptop connected to the same router (the former wired, the latter...

    "Banana" republic

    Just saw this over on the failblog, and immediately thought of SF:

    Five days in Dublin, 5 days in London...what would you do?

    Trinity College and the Book of Kells are worth a visit, and the Guinness Brewery too, probably (although I've not been there myself). O'Connell street is one main drag, but slightly more down-at-heel; I'd avoid spending too much time north of the river after dark, as it can get a bit sketchy...

    What sort of tie to match pink striped shirt?

    Conservative: Navy pin-dot (goes with everything). Bold: Something purple-ish.

    This Shoe Had Prada Beat by 5,500 Years

    And Ron Pinhasi, from the People's Republic of Cork is one of the lead investigators! We might be something of a sartorial wasteland, but there are a few of us who know about shoes...

    Stollerys Toronto

    I've had pretty good service there buying a haspel seersucker suit, a few shirts and a couple of pocket squares. The above several comments about the sales staff ring true with me too. Two comments: 1) The staff can be quite snobby if they don't like the look of you. One time I went in wearing...

    Loose thread on nice suit - what to do?

    If the loose thread is long enough, I'd be tempted to stick it through a needle and then poke it back in so that the thread is hanging down between the back and the lining.

    how long does it take you to iron a shirt?

    5-10 minutes per shirt. I store them folded, so I iron them before wearing, rather than after washing. Here's the trick: I don't bother doing the back, because I never take my jacket off. Of course, by that logic, I shouldn't bother doing the sleeves either, but whatever -- I like a bit of...

    Weird new chain in Ireland

    I think he was implying -- somewhat clumsily -- that Irish people are drunks. Sometimes the desire to press the buttons on one's keyboard outweighs the fact that one has nothing to say.

    Weird new chain in Ireland

    (i)Gents, I just happened to cycle past a new alterations tailor in Cork, and discovered that it's actually a franchise of a nationwide chain. It's called The Zip Yard (http://www.thezipyard.ie/). I promise that I'm not shilling for them -- it just seemed kind of odd (and comment-worthy) that...

    Outlook 2007 question - I will paypal correct answer $1,000,000

    This exists? How do you enable and how do you then "cancel send" within the one minute? Go to outbox and delete, or what? A workaround for this is simply to tell Outlook always to run a spell-check before sending, and then make sure that there's some word (like "tel") that it always picks up in...

    Academic Job Talk -- What to Wear?

    I'd echo what radicaldog says too. I interviewed in philosophy departments in North America and here in Ireland (which is closer to the UK for the sake of this issue). In both cases, I wore a dark brown tweedy jacket, light blue shirt, conservative tie, and charcoal flannel trousers. I figure...

    Clear Metal Collar Stays: Coming soon?

    I can't find the epic thread in which the existence of clear metal collar stays was postulated. Nonetheless, that possibility may become actual -- Oxford scientists have, apparently, created a transparent form of aluminium: http://www.physorg.com/news167925273.html The bad news is that the...

    Recommend me a AVI to DVD converter

    Super -- I'm pleased to report that both seem to work perfectly. They both make a nice little ISO, and burning that to DVD is a piece of cake. Thanks for the advice, guys. Once again, I am amazed -- but not surprised -- by the collective problem-solving wisdom of SF.

    Recommend me a AVI to DVD converter

    Hey -- that's neat. It looks like Devede is available for Windows too, and I use MPlayer already, so it looks like they'll be friends. I'll give that a try too.

    Recommend me a AVI to DVD converter

    thanks -- that's exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to find. I shall give it a go and report back.

    Recommend me a AVI to DVD converter

    Quick version: Can anyone recommend me a free program that will allow me to convert downloaded .avi files to watchable DVDs? Longer version: I'm sick of watching downloaded TV shows on my computer, and so I'd like to burn them onto DVDs, so that I can watch them on my telly. There seem to be a...
