    Do you need an iPod to listen to podcasts?

    Out of curiosity, how large do podcast files tend to be? There are a few podcasts out there that I wouldn't mind checking out, but I don't have the luxury of broadband at my house. It would probably take me a week to dowload one. :D Oh the joys of living in the stone age...

    So did you toss it in the microwave to see what happens?

    Woman gains TWO pounds, files lawsuit!!

    Maybe I'm just not reading it thorougly enough, but where does it say how much weight the lady gained in that article? Regardless, it's a pretty stupid lawsuit.

    Looking for info on selling my house on my own.

    I currently own a little starter home. I wasn't going to sell it yet, but I have someone who is interested in purchasing it from me so I'm going to look into it. I'd rather not involve a realtor if I don't have to. In this case there wouldn't be any need for marketing or showing the house. I...

    What Comic Strips do you read (online and newspaper)?

    Some time back I discovered (Was it from this thread? I didn't go back through and check.) Dork Tower I friggin love this strip! If you have any interest in sci fi, gaming, comics or anything else geeky you'll probably get a kick out of it. I think I'd put this one up there with Bloom County and...

    Static problems w/ my satellite radio

    If your pnp2 has an FM out jack on it, Audiovox has an antenna switch box you can install. I bought mine for about $20 at circuit city. I think it's the SATSWB. There are a couple of different types, you might search the sirius backstage website to find out which one works with your receiver...

    New SIRIUS deal: FREE XACT stream jockey with car kit

    I just got mine last night. It was too late to do a permanent install, but I plugged everything in and set the antenna on the dash board. Even on the dash, I had no trouble getting reception on my 80 mile commute to work this morning. (Except for when I took a corner too fast and the antenna...

    Boston Legal ongoing thread

    My girlfriend made the exact same comment as we were watching this show last night. Alan: You're good when you get testy. Denny: It came easy today...My balls hurt. :laugh: I just about fell outta my chair when Denny said that. :D

    New SIRIUS deal: FREE XACT stream jockey with car kit

    I signed up for this last night as well. I chose the JVC-SR2000 unit, though. I can't wait to get this thing set up. Almost three hours a day commuting in the car and I'm so burned out on the local radio offerings (Or lack thereof.)

    Question for Marantz SR-7200 owners

    Ahhh man, of course! I should have known that. Thanks for the heads up.

    Question for Marantz SR-7200 owners

    I had a playstation 2 game system hooked up to the front s-video connection on my SR-7200 and it worked fine for me. I wanted to temporarily hook the game up via the composite connection, also on the front of the receiver. With the S-video connection I get picture just fine. When I use the...

    Critique this comic strip for me...

    I like the stories. I agree the artwork is a little rough. Maybe try using a finer pen (Or better yet a fine brush!) and varying line weights some. One thing you might try if you plan to do more of these is change the point of view up. Right now all four of your panels are talking heads from...

    Celebrity Poker 1/6/03 - Bravo spoils the game.

    The show was pretty slow for the most part. I got a kick out of Mimi calling Carrie Fisher a whore, though. :D

    Sherwood receiver shutting itself off...

    My parents recently bought themselves a Sherwood RD-6108 reciever along with some KLH HTA 4100 5.1 speakers to spruce up their television watching experience. Over the thanksgiving holiday I helped them set things up, and for such a budget system, it's not too bad. Certainly better than the...

    Paradise Hotel......

    :laugh: Tom. Didn't Toni make some comment to the effect of "I've been living with him for 3 weeks and I don't get that!" when Holley kissed Scott at the selection imterviews? And if I hear her say "Game on!" one more time I'm gonna scream. Sure she's plotting and scheming with her little...

    Paradise Hotel......

    Woohoo! It was great to see someone finally stand up to Toni and her childish temper. The little "clique" seems to have forgotten that they aren't just there on a little romantic vacation. Poor little Amy no longer has her dysfunctional romance. My favorite quote from Zack was something...

    "another" carfax check..please!!

    Not sure, but does a car have to be reported totaled to have negative info show up on carfax? That's what I thought. I ran some cars through there as well recently. I did get one car come up as having possible odometer fraud. They showed the licensing history and from one reporting to the...

    Not all people are bad!

    I have a friend who when he goes over a toll bridge pays for the car behind him as well. It's a nice feeling to do something like that for someone knowing that you probably put a smile on their face and made their day.

    Paradise Hotel......

    I can't decide what makes me cringe more: Zack and his tantrums and whining, or the fact that Amy still follows him around and fawns all over him. (Though it is funny when he goes into a rant about her, then makes her think it's her fault he's so upset...and she apologises to him for it. :laugh:

    Paradise Hotel......

    Ugh, I can't stand this show....and yet I cannot seem to stop watching it. I was so uncomfortable watching Dave when he came in. He was being so obnixious around everybody. He kind of sounded all liquored up most of the time, though. Once I thought about that I noticed that they all seem to...

    ***Official Survivor: Amazon Discussion Thread***

    I thought Christy had a valid point about getting help with building the shelter. (How much of the scenes of the rest of the team lounging around was editing, I don't know though.) But once some of the others offered to help (albeit in a huff due to her complaints), she turned into a friggin 3...

    Who hates shaving?

    Grrrr, shaving sucks. I've tried just about every razor out there to no avail. I've tried many different shaving gels, shaving in the shower, after the shower, whatever. Razors just tear the doodoo out of my face. Electric razors never did much better, plus they don't shave as close. Finally...

    Use your bike to play console games...

    So Ryan, where would one purchase the game of "Life" you mention? It sounds like something I might like to have.

    Shipping carrier appreciation thread.

    While I don't mind smaller packages being left behind, I really dislike it when UPS leaves big expensive things behind. I recently bought an expensive mountain bike frame and specifically told the guy that I bought it from to make sure they wouldn't deliver it without a signature. Of course they...

    how do i compete with these people??!!

    I agree with Joe. I work in the graphics field as well, and I know that with some of the jobs I've gotten I've been up against people with much more polished portfolios than my own. Much of the reason that I got the job over these people has to do with how well the employer felt I would fit in...

    Pearl Jam's new album...

    Mike, I'm not sure PJ does open floor any more. Last month in Key Arena they had the entire floor space filled with chairs. No mosh pit at all. I think after they had those deaths at their show they put a stop to any of that. That's just an assumption on my part, though.
