In the UK, although not universally accepted, 'the noughties' has become more popular. The BBC have started using it recently, which has aided adoption. 2000s - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guys - I feel your pain. My story in a nutshell: - Intel Mac Mini, running OS X 10.4.9, then 10.4.10. - Logitech MX Revolution ordered from Amazon Real problems getting the additional functions (thumb wheel, click/smooth scroll wheel, etc) working. Sent the first mouse back for a...

A sobering thought indeed. On another note: I was at my desk in midtown Manhattan on 9/11, and in our West End office in London today, and as people have noted - the atmosphere in London was a lot calmer. However, I feel that's understating it a little. In London, we saw the all too...

Hi Chu - Funny - I read the title of you post and was about to reply "Ilford Gallerie Classic Pearl - you may not have heard of it, but trust me on this one". I've used this stuff for the past year and found nothing better for digital photos from an HP printer. I believe 'Classic' is the...

OK. Here's my take on this... Virgil's is a great spot. I go here (and take delivery) from this place all the time. The food is great and the atmosphere is buzzing. If you like BBQ and want an upbeat 'Times Square' type place you can't go wrong here. I don't think they take reservations...

I've just registed for the premium version of DVD Profiler, and am running v2.2.0 Build 744 on Win2K SP4. I've scanned over 200 DVDs into my database, but have a problem with a few titles: Originally, I had downloaded the low-res images (which all worked). I've now refreshed to hi-res. This...

I've also had one of these accounts for a few years now. They do have at least ONE B&M location - the cafe (yes, cafe) where I opened my account on E 49th St. Back then, they were offering over 4%. (And a free coffee.) Oh... wait... http://www.ingdirect.co.uk/

You've got to love this. The white van boys have moved into the world of e-commerce... http://www.doggdigitalaudio.com They're selling them at 50% discount if you buy them online - with a "2 week money back satisfaction guarantee" ($300 handling fee). Priceless!

Here's a title to polarize opinion! Watching the YES Network last night, I noticed a plug for a 2 disc set of their six part documentary, due Sept 16. Can't find details of any special features, although buy.com have posted the artwork here. Richard

I'm going to be in Philadelphia on business for a couple of weeks, and need a decent DVD store to feed my habit... Is there anywhere in Philly like J&R Music World in NYC? i.e. good range, reasonable prices? Thanks! Richard

The New York Times described 'Freddy Got Fingered' as "Brilliant"?!!

The place in NYC that consistently combines the widest selection of DVDs with the best prices is J&R Music World: http://www.jandr.com This place will generally provide substantial savings over what you're paying for region 1 in the UK.

You gotta check out my favorite Village cafe: The Olive Tree. Great atmosphere, great food, great prices. Slate tables with complimentary chalk in case you're feeling artistic and... Chaplin movies projected all night on the wall. http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7109102/ If you fancy...

Also "Crowded House - Dreaming: The Videos" is released on DVD this Tuesday. Apparently includes: Videos: Mean To Me, Now We're Getting Somewhere, Don't Dream It's Over, Something So Strong, World Where You Live, Better Be Home Soon, sister Madly (Live at the State Theatre), When You Come...

"Don't Dream It's Over" - Crowded House (100th post! In only 3 and a bit years!)

Steve - I imagine that this is a result of the new Canadian cover requirements, which seems be be resulting in the R1 Canadian DVDs (stocked by Play.com) being available a couple of weeks after the US versions. I had exactly the same experience with 'Pride of the Yankees'. Does anyone have a...

Well - I took the plunge. When I got to the dealer, the Ref 100 was out of stock. Was very tempted by the Yamaha MCR-150 that Colin mentioned - until the guy in the store offered me the TEAC Ref 130 display model (same as ref 100 but with 3 disc changer) for the same price as the Ref 100...

I'm looking for a small second system for my tiny bedroom. The main requirements are: - CD/AM/FM functionality - Timer function to replace my alarm clock - Aux input (for internet radio off my laptop) - Gotta be SMALL - I don't want to drop $400 on a Bose WaveRadio/CD I've seen the...

I subscribe to Time Warner Cable dtv (digital TV - not HDTV) in Manhattan, with which I'm generally very happy. The picture is much clearer (less static, ghosting) and I get a Dolby Digital signal from most channels. My problem is with the 'local' channels - Fox 5, NBC 4, ABC 7, CBS 11. I still...

Add my vote for the ending. Made the film complete for me.
