SimMIke2 & AlmostInsane - are you able to get the pay services (aka high-def HBO, Showtime & Pay Per View ) without a box? Or with a box but still in ATSC form instead of component video? If it is in ATSC that greatly facilitates recording, if it is in component then recording is just about...

If you watch DVDs in the dark, take some black trash-bag material and tape it over the black bars while watching the movie. Sounds stupid but it is a SERIOUS improvment in watchability. The problem is that the black areas on the screen are really grey and subconsciously distract you from...

The wal-mart I went to in Nashua, New Hampshire was ringing up their $5 DVDs for $2.50, but their selection had dwindled down to only 4 or so fairly lame titles (I bought one, expecting to pay $5 which is how I found out).

Depending on the specific store there is a huge selection of 80's and early 90's movies in those bins. Lots of good flicks like: Switch (great chick-flick, makes them cry by the end) Altered States Mr Wonderful Feeling Minnesota (Reeves and Diaz doing the nasty in the bathroom, 1996) Inventing...

The real deal here is not the free book but the education on the just how much smoke deBeer's has been blowing up the collective ying-yang's of western women. I say that if you have a fiance (or is it finacee, never can remember that freaking french) who once educated about the truth of the...

If you buy one of these, don't install the drivers. Instead get the free dscaler program from http://www.dscaler.org/ and use that instead. The user-interface is not fancy, but the scaling and de-interlacing algorithms are top-of-the-line and will give the highest possible picture quality out...

If the intermediary site isn't working for you, just search for SKU# LNP08 and add it to your cart, worked fine for me this morning and I just searched for it about 30 minutes ago and it came up again.

Baloney. Digital is digital. If it will handle PCM it will handle Dolby Digital and DTS. I've even done 6.1 through my RCA cables. It isn't like these bit-rates are particularly high or anything.

No, the datacenter was using the same facial recognition software that they tried at Boston Logan airport and in Tampa and it thought the yak looked like Shawn.

You were doing excellent until you got to that part and made me bust a gut. Deism is definitely not about a hackneyed plot device that authors use when they've written the story into a corner and can't think of a way to continue the story without resorting to some outside force to fix things...

Netscape 4.x is even less standards compliant than IE - MS would love for people to stay on 4.x if they aren't going to use IE - that way they are stuck in the stone age.

That's microsoft making hotmail intentionally proprietary to internet explorer - unfortunately there ain't much you can do to fix it because it isn't Mozilla that's busted, it is hotmail. You could find another freemail provider, hotmail is getting more and more restrictive by the day anyway.

Check out the discussion on the forums at: www.ezonemag.com/ they seem to think that it is a fairly sucktastic r/c plane.

Mediaplay is the same as samgoody - just go to samgoody.com and you should get the same deals. For those who have never been to a mall - SamGoody is a B&M DVD place that is massively overpriced. They are also a recent acquisition of best buy but appear to have maintained most of their...

Friend of mine who signed up for the $100 reseller deal is getting the run-around. They took his money and then claimed that they were all caught up with ALL orders made after his order was made. Yet, a week later and a few entries in their trouble ticket system and they are now claiming that...
