Can anyone address the media compatibility issues with the 2900? I'm leaning in that direction, but problems with reading some media -- even commercially produced discs -- is one of the reasons I'm shopping for a new player. I'm particularly interested in hearing about DVD-R compatibility. Most...

I think this experience clearly shows which store really wants your business. I would just stop going to Tweeter and give all my business to the other place. The town I grew up in only had three or four places where you could get anything approaching serious gear. One place was a regional...

I didn't intend to further respond to this thread but, at the risk of further raising the ire of the moderators, I also didn't want to just disappear without acknowledging the posts about Roger Ailes. I did the Google search as Ike suggested and found an obvious connection between Ailes and...

I'm using Win2k so your mileage may vary. Find the file "hosts" in the "etc" directory on your system. Mine is "C:winntsystem32driversetchosts". Edit the hosts file and add the line "127.0.0.1 a.tribalfusion.com", without the quotes. This will remap all references to a.tribalfusion.com to your...

Another option, though probably not appropriate for running, is a CD player that plays MP3s. I have two, both manufactured by iRiver, that work very well. They're a reasonable compromise between the small capacity of the fully solid state models and the hard drive-based models. Rio is about...

In keeping with the topic of "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them", I think it appropriate to point out that Bill O'Reilly spent six years working on "Inside Edition". While "Inside Edition" has always been an "infotainment" program, during O'Reilly's time with the show the emphasis was much...

The Block in Orange (22 Fwy at City Drive) is supposed to be fun. Stores, restaurants, entertainment venues. Brea Mall is a pretty good place to wander for a few hours. Lots of good restaurants in the vicinity of the mall. BJ's Pizza, in the southwest corner of the mall parking lot, brews their...

The GE Super Radio has very slightly better long distance reception than the CCRadio Plus due primarily to its larger antenna. The larger speaker provides better sound (regardless of what CCrane says) and the analog operation allows the batteries to last a VERY long time. For casual listening...

I don't think the CA DMV web site will let you renew your registration if a smog check is due. At least they didn't a couple years ago when I tried it. I used the web site this year. Paying the extra $4 bugged me, but I have to admit it was quick and easy. I pay all my bills online, so having to...

I've had many times when my ice tea was wanting a refill for a very long time. Sometimes you can't even find your server to ask for a refill. That said, I think you need to have a little perspective on this. You're consuming a beverage that not only doesn't put any money in the owner's...

The Gladiator products have been featured on "This Old House" and "Hometime". They look very sturdy and easy to install and re-arrange. The wall panel system is very slick. Unfortunately, they're also a bit on the pricey side.

About 25 years ago I remember reading of a study the government did into what needed to be done to get people to accept $1 coins. The conclusion -- which seemed pretty obvious to me -- was that they needed to stop printing $1 bills. 25 years later they've melted down millions of Susan B. Anthony...

I didn't have much in the way of home theater when I last used Raid Fumigator, but I didn't notice any residue on any surfaces in the house. I steered clear of the aerosol bug bombs largely because I was concerned about where all those tiny droplets of pesticide were going to end up. If you go...
