What are you doing now?

@ MrCode -- peobably the best solution will be to replace all the wires connecting the speakers to the computer, using decent shielded cables, and make sure that the shield is actually grounded to the computer, and that the motherboard is properly installed & grounded..

Well, you're probably right in that getting new speakers would be faster (the end of the speaker cable that goes to the speakers themselves is permanently attached, so no way of replacing it) — but I don't exactly have money, so I suppose I'll just have to live with it for now... Not that big a deal.

I'm getting a station that plays classical (like, big band/orchestral music) — somewhere around 91-92 FM around here. Not that that would probably be testable from "N.S." (Nova Scotia?)

Your speakers are picking us an FM station and you can hear the music?

Heh, well I've never done any soldering in my life, so I can't see that going too well, LOL.

I'm pretty sure it's FM — that's what I tried on my radio first, and it seemed to be the same station when I got to around 91.<something>.

LOL You could just call it a built in media player and ignore it

I sometimes do soldering (even those tiny surface-mount parts) and I wouldn't think it's that hard.

Kind of hard to believe that it could pick up FM because the amplitude of the signal never changes. I guess the only way this could happen is if the speakers are less resistant to higher or lower frequency, thus "decoding" the FM back into AM.

Yep, Nova Scotia it is! Congrats -- I've actually been asked in the past, by Americans, if Nova Scotia is in Maine :/

pixellany · 03-16-2010, 02:33 PM

Of course it's not in Main---it's much farther north....in Vermouth or New Hampster....

I have frightening stats about young people who cannot find their native country on a world map.

Yep, far east Canada according to Google Earth (yes, I had to look

).

You know, speaking of geography and stuff, I think I used to know all the names of the state capital cities here in the US, but I've probably forgotten a lot of them by now...

I think the problem is that someone put all those other
countries on there, too ... that makes is so confusing!

And it does not help when half of the eastern European countries have changed their name since you went to school.

Hating myself right now, for not being able to see past my nose...
The girl that said "yes" to me was just trying to get back at her boyfriend.

5th time in a freakin row! So for now I give up on women.
I'll spend the better years of my life construction a female version of the T-800.

I'm not funny.
