I have a Dell Axim that I want to play music on when I travel. I also purchased a 512MB CF card to store music on. I definately prefer the sound of mp3's encoded at 160 instead of 128 but the file size difference is enough to make me chose 128. I read that WMA encoded at 128 sound better than...

I've searched both sites and have not been able to find out if DirecTV has any plans on carrying ESPN-HD. Does anyone know if they have completely ruled it out? This would be a MAJOR mistake IMO.

Just received this email message: -------------------------------- We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has written in support of our show recently. The email has been overwhelming! I think we've actually gotten more emails since we've been off the air than we got when we were on...

I just ordered a Dell Axim X5 to replace my aging Palm Vx. I decided on the 400mhz version. Should be here before the end of the month. I'll be using it for work (documents, spreadsheets) and pleasure (mp3, games). Any "must have" software recommendations?

A.U.S.A. has taken Hidden Hills spot on Tuesdays at 9:30pm. The Hidden Hills page says "An upcoming episode has not yet been scheduled. Please check back later." Does anyone know if Hidden Hills has been canned??? I hope not, my wife and I love the show!

Anyone else catch Scrubs last night? This show continues to impress. I don't know of any other show that can run the gamut of emotions so well. Both my wife and I were amazed at the end of last nights episode. IMO there are not many casts, writers, directors or producers who could have pulled...

I've noticed that NBC HD shows like "Frasier" and "Ed" don't appear as sharp as CBS shows. Has anyone else noticed this as well?

Steve Martin To Host 75th Academy Awards Hopefully we have seen the last of Whoopi. Now I can plan on watching again.

On commercial flights why is it so important that your "seat-backs are in an upright position" during take-off and landing? Have studies shown that it increases your chance of surviving an accident? If so, why allow the seats to recline at all? Feel free to post any other questions that have...

Any recommendations for purchasing/selling stocks online? I have been using Schwab but their per transaction fee is quite steep.

Does anyone know if any NHL games are going to be on HDNet this year? I know they had 60+ games last season but I haven't seen nor heard anything about this season.

I want to stay away from the likes of Dell and Gateway but I don't have the time to build a PC from scratch so I have been looking at custom builders such as Envision Computer Solutions. Anyone care to recommend CPU/Board Combos as well as video cards? BTW, the PC will mainly be used with...

I'm not really familiar with the area of product labels so please bear with me. The company I work with is introducing a new product. Instead of using self-adhesive labels (stickers) we want to have the product name and our logo screened onto the enclosure (aluminum.) The perfect HTF example...

$600 plus shipping (UPS ground, insured). If buyer is located within 2-3 hour drive time of Detroit, I'm willing to meet halfway. Reason for selling: upgraded to dual CS+ and Samson 1000.

As of this morning, the HTF SETI@home group has surpassed the 250,000 work unit mark! You can see our up-to-date total at the SETI@home-HTF webpage. It has taken us several years and 342.623 years of CPU time to make it this far. We continue to be in the Top 200 of all groups worldwide with only...

To avoid confusion I thought it would be best to separate the two leagues into their own threads. This way we don't have to title each post "League 1" or "League 2". We have two openings left for the HTF FFL II. If you are interested you must act soon! We are going to lock the league after...

Anyone interested in joining a FFL with your fellow HTF members? The original league is still going strong but was becoming too large so we decided to create the HTF FFL II. We will be using a similar set of rules. Whether or not it is a "keeper" league is still up for debate. As of this...

I'm considering the Passat W8 as my next vehicle but I'm very concerned about the service at VW dealerships. It appears that complaints regarding service seem to go hand-in-hand with owning a VW. The VW forums are filled with complaints. What have been your experiences as far as service is...

I don't think I've ever seen a post regarding diving. Any HTF'ers "go down"? (Let the perverted comments begin!) If so, what are some of your favorite locations, favorite dive sites, best dive operators? For dive operators my fave is Aldora Divers in Cozumel. Hands down the best operation I...

Looks like the Wings are going to replace Hasek with CuJo! Now if they can only land Chelios. Any ideas where Guerin is heading? I've read that Dallas is planning to throw some big numbers his way.

I know its an odd question, but can the exterior of an SVS be painted? After removing the black material of course! Would it have any effect? Just curious more than anything.

My wife and I recently moved. Our move has taken us further away from the gym, so instead of being five minutes away, we are now 15-20 minutes away. I am thinking about purchasing a Bowflex machine and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. If so, what kind of results did you get...

Southwest will charge large fliers extra fare Bravo to Southwest and United. Its about time IMO. As a 6' 180lb person I've had to suffer through several flights with a very large person in the seat next to me. Nothing makes a flight as enjoyable as not being able to lower the armrest, to use...

How does one usually incorporate a mp3 PC server into their system? Don't you need a screen to see what songs you are selecting? Where does it all fit in with the rest of your equipment? The idea is intriguing to me, but I don't see how it would fit with the rest of my gear.

The lease on my Explorer expires in three months. I'm leaning towards purchasing my next vehicle because I don't put many miles on them, average 9k-10k mi annually. I've owned several SUVs and have been relatively pleased with them until my current Explorer. Its a 2001 and is a POS. With 16k...

The recently announced price cut pretty much guarantees I'll be getting the Box soon. My only problem is that I want to place the Box in my A/V rack which is 12-15 feet away from my seating area. Are there any wireless controllers available? If so, how is the performance? If not, are any...

and I am simply amazed! I finally hooked up my Hitachi 43" to the Samsung SIR-T150. After testing signal strength between the Terk 55 and a Rat Shack set-top antenna, I decided on the RatShack. It was close, but the RatShack seemed to be a bar or two (on the signal strength meter) ahead...

I've never been a fan of Rosie but after last night I have to give her far more respect than I ever thought I would! I was very suprised to hear that she was appearing on his show. I was especially impressed by her take on the September 11th fund raising. Her idea that any "star" that wants...
