taking apart MXL

Hey guys, as promised my next 'patient'. 2 months ago i managed to free this fine soaker specimen from the hands(or legs?) of the treacherous spiders which reside in the dark corners of my basement. It was a fierce battle, but in the end I was able to infiltrate their lair and retreat with my prize....

Re: xxp 275 leaking

Re: xxp 275 leaking

Re: 2012 Community War

@M4: What kind of computer is it? I have a recovery thingy that can boot up any computer and perform repairs even if you are unable to boot up the OS. I'm not quite sure how it works, it might have to be burned to a CD and then put into the drive. The concept of starting a computer and bypassing th...

Re: Vice President Biden Hosts Water War

you should get him to host a water war. he'd probably pick everyone up with a helicopter and get air force one to come to germany for me :)
