    Chronically Itchy Scalp

    My scalp has been itchy for a long time. Several years ago I had dandruff and used some sort of shampoo to get rid of it, then switched to regular shampoo. The dandruff has never really come back, but when I run my fingernails across my scalp little bits of dead skin always come off, and lots of...

    Music in Ali G Show

    Does anyone know the song that plays during the beginning of this clip? http://video.google.com/videop...TIOIqS-gHKzszvCg&hl=en It's not in the movie, and hence not on the soundtrack to the movie. I can't seem to find a list of music used in the TV show.

    Poison Ivy + Cat?

    My cat just came in and seems somewhat distressed. It keeps kicking its legs and licking in between its toes pretty ferociously, although I don't see anything on them. Could a cat's paw pads get itchy from poison ivy?

    Classical Guitar Rattle

    I can hear a rattle if I hold up my guitar and shake it. It sounds like its coming from inside the guitar where the neck meets the body. I took off the strings and reached my hand into the hole on top and felt around for anything loose, but I couldn't find anything exactly. There is a big...

    Erasing inside a PDF.

    I have some book pages I scanned into a PDF, and I'm trying to clean them up (black splotches and what not). How do you remove things like this? Can they simply be erased with some function?

    Japanese Music

    I pose this question to people who have taste (thus not to a certain forum member who's name need not be mentioned). What is some good contemporary Japanese music? I don't want to hear J-Pop or lame American Alternarock/EMO copycat stuff (in other words I don't want to hear flavor-of-the-month...

    Making Trills

    I've finally decided it's time to learn how to trill properly, as I'm learning several languages that require the sound. Up until this point I've been replacing all my trills with simple taps. After reading up on it I can't find any sort of trick to learning how to do it, so I guess I just need...

    Shipping a Computer and Monitor

    I've got to go to Iowa for college this coming semester and of course I'm going out there by plane. I don't think it will be taken good care of in baggage, so I'm thinking it would be better to ship it. What is the most reliable way to ship a computer to a P.O. box? I'm also going to send my...

    New subtitles with an actual DVD.

    I have a foreign DVD that doesn't have English subtitles. If I can find the subtitles online, is there a way to use them with the DVD (playing on my computer) without ripping the DVD?

    http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITI...ml?eref=rss_topstories Beret: check. Pretentious beard: check. Turtleneck: probably. Absurd philosophy and self-righteous attitude that will potentially culminate in a petty symbolic act with little bearing on the course of world events while wasting...

    No Ambition

    I have no ambitions in life or in college. I get A's, and I'll get a job when I graduate I guess, but I don't aspire to anything. And I don't feel especially bothered by that. Thoughts?

    Belkin router no longer showing the "Virtual Servers" page.

    I have a Belkin wired DSL router, and I've previously been able to set up port forwarding through the "Virtual Servers" page in the configuration. However, just recently when I try to access that page it just sends me to the configuration home page. It's the only link that does this, all the...

    Equivalent of 9800 Pro in current generation.

    If I wanted to get one of the low end cards that are out right now, can I expect any of them to match the performance of my 9800 Pro? I'm considering getting one to tide me over until I can afford something better. I'm talking about the 8400/8500, etc.

    An older CPU + Motherboard to tide me over.

    I have a Barton 2500+, Radeon 9800 Pro 128, 1GB of RAM, and an A7N8X Deluxe. I just want to spend $100 or under on a motherboard and CPU to tide me over until I have enough money to buy a whole new setup. I of course want to get something that will be a significant enough performance boost to...

    Firefox and its "helpful" suggestions.

    To a certain extent I appreciate the new suggestion (even of terms you've never searched for) feature of the recent Firefox Google search field. I'm all for convenience, and it has even sped up a few of my searches. However, I don't appreciate typing a Y into the bar and it immediately...

    Removing All XML Tags in a Document

    But keeping the text in between the tags. Honestly it blows my mind that I couldn't find something within 20 seconds of looking this up on Google, even though it seems like such a basic thing. Anyway, anyone know a fast, free way to do this? I could write an app for myself, but I really don't...

    Food Issues

    I get gas after eating pasta with olive oil and parmigiano. Besides parmigiano having barely any lactose, I'm not lactose intolerant. What else could be causing this? I know the population of ATOT is full of medical experts, so help me out.

    To Hardcore Hip-Hop Fans

    I'm trying to find a rap song I heard years ago that had the "Imperial March" from Star Wars in it. I've tried to find it through the intraweb but all that comes up is this "16's Wit Me". The song I heard is older and more underground. Any help much appreciated.
