Hi all, I'm looking for a decent ceiling mount for my new Optoma H27 DLP Projector. The thing is great, but it has a HUGE offset, and when I sit it on my coffee table I have to prop something underneath it to get the image to display dead-centre of the wall. It's also sitting mid-room, and...

Hi all, I need some help, guidance, and assistance in determining how I should proceed with a recent projector purchase & setup. I recently purchased an Epson S3 LCD Projector from Costco, for less than $750 CAD ($850 after tax). The price was right, and it listed itself as HDTV capable...

Hey all, I was in costco yesterday, and I noticed that they had an Akai 55" HD Ready RPTV on display for $1000 (Canadian), and I wanted to know if anyone has any opinions or experience with it. The model is PT5598HD - I did some online research, and I can't find much in terms of a recent...

When I left the house this evening to pick up my girlfriend, the price of gas was at around 88 cents per litre (I'm Canadian... in canada we do it by the litre, so in the US that would equate to what... 19 cents per gallon roughly?). Anyway... on our way home, I noticed the needle on my gas...

With Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars out of the way now (and available on DVD), I was wondering if there was any news on the future of the series? From what I understand, the miniseries scored VERY well, and there's still plenty of plot threads left to be resolved, like [D'Argo's fate (I don't...

I have the Blah's. It's saturday night, and I'm home alone. I'm tired, feeling sick (there's a lump in my throat... predecessor to what I know is going to be a SORE throat), and it snowed all friggen day, resulting in a winter hellhole in my neighbourhood. (I hate snow). I left the...

Well, it's officially official. By midnight tonight, the NHL lockout will be in effect... http://www.nhlcbanews.com/news/bog_meeting091504.html This obviously blows donkey balls for us hockey fans. No season in the forseable future, given the nature of the grievance. It's basically boiling...

Hey all, I tried using the HTF Search functionality, but it just ain't working out for me. Maybe I'm just having a Monday... :frowning: I'm trying to locate the amazing custom covers that were made for the Star Trek season sets of TNG, DS9, Voyager, etc. I remember seeing them a couple of...

Spoilers Ahoy! If you haven't seen this episode yet and don't want it ruined for you, stop here! I picked up the Season 4 boxed set of Futurama yesterday, encapsulating most of the episodes that I had not yet had a chance to see. First off, let me just say that I absolutely LOVE Futurama -...

{bitching mode} I don't know about everyone else, but here in Toronto it feels like we've gone from May to September, and completely skipped the summer months! We don't get much warm weather up here on a regular basis, so I really cherish the warm summer months. What we've had lately though...

I'm now the happy owner of a Sony CRT (VPH-1000)! I've set it up in my living room (temporary, until I finish working on my basement and turning into a HT area), and I'm loving it! It's an older unit (manufactured in 1991 I believe), and is fully analog. There are no digital controls on it...

http://www.abc.net.au/goulburnmurray...7/s1150214.htm ;) I'll do it! What makes Canadian sperm so sought-after in Australia anyway? Could it be the long, cold winters? The Beer? Celine Dion? Moe.

I just read on CNN that musician Ray Charles has passed away. Information is pretty limited right now, but I'm very very saddened to hear this news. Ray was an inspiration to many, and despite the difference in generations I always got a major kick out of his music. Just 3 weeks ago I brought...

Are taxi's and taxi drivers given special consideration on the road? I've lost count of the number of times I've been cut off by a cab, or a cab doesn't signal, or a cab pulls some bonehead move to go pick up a fare on the opposite side of the road. This past weekend, I was driving home from...

Some people have TOO much time on their hands! (I did a search... seems like no one has posted this before) http://subserviantchicken.com/ :D Burger King... home of the subservient chicken! Moe.

Hey all, So I moved into my new house on Wednesday of last week (my first house!... yey!), and among the various issues that need to be addressed is one that is really starting to upset me - this silly tree in my front yard which is dripping SAP on my car! The tree has several branches...

Hey all, So I just recently purchased my first house, and I'm moving in on April 21st. Among the various renovations that I plan on doing (Roof repair, Painting, Crown-Moulding, Kitchen remod, etc.) I intend to rip out the god-awful carpeting and install a flooring system. I'm kind of on...

I'm still waiting to hear any buzz about plans for Warner Brothers to release the early 90's television version of The Falsh. With the recent interest in all things comic book (Smallville, new Nolan Batman flick, all them Marvel movies), you'd think that Warner would get on the bandwagon...

...I find that it's not quite unlike the oh-so-pleasant feeling of shaving my scrotum with a rusty & dull butter knife! I've made it about 10 minutes into the movie, and I'm seriously contemplating turning it off, and using the disc as a poop-scoop for my neighbours dog. Dear lord, what an...

Hey all... some advice needed... I'm on vacation, and what better time than to make sense of the disaster area that is my apartment. During the course of rooting through the debris, I've come across several boxes of old comic books that I bought in my younger years, but have no interest in...

I'm a member of a Hyundai Tiburon enthusiasts board (http://www.newtiburon.com), and these pictures were posted there today. Introducing the new 2004 (maybe?) Hyundai Tiburon hardtop convertible! Fully equipped, with a fully retracteable glass roof! I...

Has anyone here ever written a screenplay? I'm interesting in writing a couple... one is an adaptation of an existing work, and the other would be an original idea of my own creation. My plan is not necessarily to produce these and shop them out for sale, I just kind of want to create them to...

I picked up Star Trek 4: Voyage Home Collectors edition a few days ago to complete my current run of the SE's. I'm very impressed with the work that Paramount's done on the Trek Special Edition DVDs, especially the extra's and the restoration of the video & audio. So now we come to the sticky...

Haven't we all had these conversations with friends? You know - "Well, if I won the lottery, I'd spend $x on this, and $x on that, and give $x to this person, and quit this job, and go here, and go there, etc". These are usually the best kinds of conversations - everyone's laughing, smiling, and...

I'm frustrated! One of my biggest pet-peeves is reading something in which the three words "their", "there", and "they're" are mis-used or substituted for one another. I just finished reading a post in which "their" was used for every instance of "their", "there", and "they're", and I had...

I've this stupid frikken canker sore on the underside of my tongue for the past few days, and it's making me MISERABLE to put it mildly!!! :frowning: It manifested itself on monday night as what I had originally though to be a small cut. The next morning I woke up with a throbbing pain, and...

Seeing as how everyone seems to be complaining about the weather lately (and with good reason!!!), I thought I'd start the official whine/bitch/complain about the daily weather thread. It's DISGUSTING here in Toronto today. About 15 degrees outside, but it's been rainy, wet, and grey all day...

My new car (2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT) finally arrived this week, and I picked it up last night. I'm a happy camper now. :) The only problem is the damn "new car smell". This is my first "new" car (i.e. not previously owned), so I was kinda floored by the pungency of the aroma. For the life...

Hi all! Ok, now that I finally bought a new car (see this thread for my excited ramblings on the subject -> http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...98#post1572106 :D), I've gotta unload my current vehicle. I've never sold a car before, so I could use some advice here... I got a message from...

A little less than a month ago I posted a thread asking for advice regarding how I should approach the purchase of a new car (http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=139506). Well, yesterday I did it! I visited three separate dealerships in the morning, intent on purchasing the car...
