    Upgrade Dilemma - Setup Question First

    Good idea, but takes the fun out of upgrading!! Actually, I've been thinking of upgrading for some time, and this is now the catalyst to do it.

    Upgrade Dilemma - Setup Question First

    I haven't posted in a long time here at the forum, but I need to upgrade my speakers and could use some advice, and I knew that this was the place to come. As we all are well aware of the WAF, I think there's a new one that should be BFF (Baby Friendly Factor) :) I have a 9 month old son at...

    The Bachelor 6

    That link is great!! I can't believe none of the women haven't brought up his "job" yet. No way these women can be thrilled with the prospect of Byron fishing for the rest of his life. I was hoping we'd see some of the Dad's bring this up on the home visits, but it seems like the women are...

    HD Olympic Games Opening Ceremony/Ongoing Coverage: What's Going On???

    Steve - that is incorrect. As long as the HD content matches the broadcast content, Nielsen counts it towards the ratings. I thought the same thing as you did (I also thought it may have to do something with the advertising deal they had with Sony) - my wife works for Nielsen and reconfirmed...

    Ipod Users - Help With Itunes Install

    Vince - any recommendations as to what works well? I've used Musicmatch with my old Rio MP3 player and it was ok - nothing special. Pete

    Ipod Users - Help With Itunes Install

    Yes I do, older version. I'll try to uninstall it first (although in the past, running the install with an older version on the PC never had any problems with the install, it would basically upgrade the software to the newer version). I'll try that tonight and see if it works. Thanks for the...

    Ipod Users - Help With Itunes Install

    Not sure if anyone can help out, but I figured I'd give it a shot as I'm not getting any answers from the Apple site. I just got an Ipod Mini and I am having an impossible time installing Itunes on my laptop via the install CD. Every time the install gets to the point where it's installing...

    CT members, avoiding I-95?

    I would 2nd the recommendation to take the Merrit Parkway. Although it's only 2 lanes, it does move pretty quickly certainly no "dead stop" areas like you could (most likely will) have on I95. A good friend of mine lived in East Berlin, CT (right where 95 & 84 meet) and we would always make...

    The Complete Peanuts

    I agree. I am a huge Peanuts fan and can't wait to get these. Now my family can't complain about what to get me for the next 12 years!!! Pete

    My brothers, sisters, roomates, friends, uncles, daughter???

    I had this same conversation with my wife not too long ago. Mark - I agree with you!! He's nothing to you, other than your sister-in-laws husband. My wife has a very large family - parents were divorced and both re-married. She has a blood relative sister, and 4 step-brothers (2 on each...

    Cold Stone Creamery

    The first time I had Cold Stone Creamery was about 5 years ago in Boulder, CO. I loved it then. Now they are popping all over the place and it just didn't taste the same as I remembered. I kind of feel that with their expansion, they've sold out a bit. Once you've been to the Cold Stone in...

    The Apprentice Ongoing Thread

    Erik - that's exactly what I was thinking. This is one of the oldest advertising tricks in the book. They definitely could've wet down the streets while the car was there, thus getting some water on the windshield. I did not notice any rain coming down when Bill ran out to the car. I also work...

    **** The official "Curb your Enthusiasm" discussion thread

    The scene in the Mexican Restaurant was priceless. "You still have some napkin on your head" Classic Larry!!!

    Line of Fire - New Episodes?

    Does anyone know if ABC has decided to order new episodes? It seems like last night was the last episode of the original 9 that were created (with the promos for NYPD Blue coming back next week). According to the abc.com it says the next episode has "not been scheduled at this time." I think...

    Las Vegas 2/2/04

    I agree. Seemed to be an excuse to get some guest cameos on the show (although Brian Austin Green and Jon Lovitz aren't the biggest name cameos now are they?) You can understand the Paris Hilton cameo, although they are a bit late on her "in" moment (as I hope it's beginning to fade quickly!)...

    The Bachelorette 2 - ongoing thread

    I would agree - nothing big happened, nothing shocking. It does look like things might get interesting next week with one of the guys upset over getting the boot (although that could be good ol' promo editing). On another note, looks like Jesse Palmer the Giants backup QB is slated to be the...

    The Apprentice Ongoing Thread

    There was a shot of one of the girls asking the guy at the store - "how about cost + 10%", and then he agreed and said "OK, $300" (something to that affect). Obviously these shows are ridiculously edited both for time but more importantly entertainment factor. My point was on the places the...

    The Apprentice Ongoing Thread

    The men really did a poor job of negotiating, but they also did a poor job of picking the right places to negotiate. I think they were under the gun due to Sam's lack of direction and that's why they were forced to go these places. Sam's football references were horrible - and he just didn't...

    Friends 1/15/04

    My wife and I noticed the same thing. They didn't even try to cover it up - and it's very obvious. I think they might go with the same story as Frasier did with Daphne - just have her constantly eating so she gets "fat" (in the opening scene, Monica is chowing on a large piece of chocolate...

    DISH Free upgrades - Worth it?

    I have noticed the promotions that Dish has for new customers and I was intrigued. I have Comcast Digital w/HD and just got notice that they are going to start charging extra for the HD box and am now looking into satellite as I can't stand the picture on the standard channels that Comcast...

    transporting live lobster

    Quote: Right now I'm really leaning towards putting two of them in a zip lock and putting them in my checked suitcase. Not that I've ever transported live lobsters on a plane before, but I would think this would be the least desired option - it will take weeks to get the smell out of...

    Proper xbox configuration?

    Not sure if this should be in the hardware of software section, so mods please move if necessary. I recently got an xbox and want to ensure that I have it connected properly to utilize the HD capabilites for games that are either 480p, 720p or 1080i (for the few that are). I have the xbox...

    Trista and Ryan's Wedding (The Bachelorette)

    Is it me, or does Trista just keep getting uglier and more annoying each time she's on TV? I'm at the point where I truly hope her 15 minutes of fame is long over!!! To me, the wedding was more tacky than anything else. I know she likes pink, but that was a little much. I do think that...

    Average Joe (merged)

    It was a great twist, but the outcome was pretty much expected as you knew Zach would bury himself. I do somewhat agree with him that guys act much different with guys being "one of the boys" versus hanging out with a girl. Although I do think that it revealed more of his true side than what...

    Did Pigpen have a name?

    According the the official Peanuts site - his name is Pig-Pen. You can see the first comic strip he was introduced - July 13, 1954. Pete

    Amen Brother! Or as Ed said to Eli last night: "Holla!" :laugh:

    Ed 11/12/2003

    We didn't get Ed in HD last night either. I figured someone at Comcast forgot to flip the switch again.
