You must not have seen the recent re-make of the Andromeda Strain where the future us sent back a message via a worm hole saying that those vent and nodules contain the only antidote to this virus :) Laters, Jeff
Ok yes I was talking about prices as the "tourist" places but I don't think I said the pricing was out of line. As tourist new to an area with limited time you are not going to going hiking around the city for a sandwich shop. Most people will take what is convenient and yes you will pay more...
I have been to London several times. I would second the Westminster Abby and Tower of London suggestions. I think that you could skip the changing of the guards, while neat and all I don't think it is the best bang for your buck time wise. If you are going to go to the Natural History Museum...
Congratulations on entering the world of HD DVD! I give demos all the time with my system to people interested in HD DVD or HD programming. The one consistent oddity that I have found is that when you first display the HD picture people may not be that impressed. However I let the HD material...
I have used a regular pizza stone in my gas grill with great success. If you want to add a smoky flavor use one of those smoke boxes for gas grills in there. Personally I like the flavor without the added smoke. Laters, Jeff
The expression on poor Dustin's face was priceless. I wonder if Dick will feel as brilliant as he does now when he finds out that Eric had to take the deal because we made him, not because Dick is such a great persuader :) This should be an interesting week. It will also be interesting to see...
I am not sure how this would help in your situation but here goes. My dog was a stray and very independent when I got her. It took being leashed to me whenever I was in the house for about 4 days to break her of this. Basically I have a leash that I would clip to myself. This forces the dog to...
From the feeds it looks like BB helped out Eric by claiming he was sick and had to be in quarantine for about a day and half. Also allowed him several multiple hour DR sessions
Since it seems like America is trying to get Eric in trouble who do you think we are going to make him vote to...
Well now we know why everyone was pissed at Dustin. I don't blame him though. He had four people on his to put on the block so who cares which one of the four it is. I agree with Evil that Jen threw the competion and blocked someone else from answering the last question because of her deal...
The movie "Baby Boom" was filmed in the town I grew up in Vermont. I was in college at the time but my Mom, Dad, and younger sister are all in it as extras. Laters, Jeff
I am looking for some software that will make it easier to communicate with my step-father after his stroke. He has limited use of his hands, is deaf, and has very limited speech ability as a result of the stroke. Otherwise he is completely mobile and can he can still read (and comprehend what...
I will echo the comments above. I have the HD-DVD set and the parts that I have watched are amazing. If you like this type of programming you should get a copy of this series! Laters, Jeff
I just spent $1400 last week on my dog because of a liver infection (visible jaundice in the eyes, ears, and gums and blood test indicators). I am not sure if this is related or not. I did give her a "treat" of 1/4 of the Iams pouch food before this happened. I know that they are saying it...
I have an A1 (HD-DVD) and the HD material is outstanding. That being said I am not limiting myself to HD material only. I still purchase plenty of SD titles as well. The nice thing about the A1 is that it does a wonderful job of upconverting the SD titles so really it is the best of both worlds...
Great thanks for the review. Looks like a double dip into HD for me! Maybe the reports of the soft picture are from people playing the SD side in their HD players :). Laters, Jeff
I have this projector and it has worked great for me so far. Nice to know Steve can work on this as he has ISF'd all my TV's so far. That is a nice bonus. One other feature that is fantastic is that this projector is able to use all of it's scaling modes on HD signals over both HDMI and...
Just keep wearing the glasses, your brain will figure it all out. I just got my first pair of glasses this summer as well. I had a lot of weird effects at first but after about 3 weeks all was good. Just keep them on. Laters, Jeff
Having just finished painting a couple of rooms in my house (which was the first time I had ever done any major painting) here are my suggestions: 1) Clean, clean, clean the walls 2) Do not skimp on the quality of brush and roller that you purchase. Yes get the $16 brush and $7 dollar roller...
Ok I have a good one for you. I had almost $1000 withdrawn from my account. The money was taken out of an ATM machine.....with a valid PIN and card......in a Casino....in Bangkok.....Thailand. I finally got it all cleared up but it was a hassle to get the money back. I had to swear that my...
According to web sources there was an issue with a 3rd party chip on the main board that the QC people caught. The problem is being fixed and the players should be available starting on 12/11/06. While some people are complaining and saying see we told you Toshiba could not make a good...
A couple of things regarding FedEx Ground Home Delivery. First is that they use mostly contract drivers that get paid per delivery or delivery attempt. You will always have to suffer through at least one delivery attempt even if you tell them to hold the delivery. Second when you submit...
Someone over at the HD-DVD camp is actually thinking. By releasing a lot of the classics they are winning over the true cinema buffs and building a loyal following. Additionally they are driving HD-DVD sales higher using this strategy. How many early adopters would re-purchase average movies...
