    Funny when Helen told the new guy that she had found the perfect girl to set him up with. :laugh:

    Computer Help, please......

    Are you using WMP 9? I think they changed the codec for the video on their site. I can't access it on my Mac, but I can view it through the PC.

    Faces of Death

    Saw it once. Don't need to see it again. Where's the entertainment in seeing a monkey clubbed to death (among other things)? Wasn't the marketing hook something like "Banned in 87 Countries!!" or something?

    Arrrgh! How can I get rid of ants??

    If you want to use ant baits, I've found that the Combat ant baits work far better than the Raid ones. I had both in my kitchen a few years ago and the ants hit the Combat baits like it was a gourmet meal, while they didn't bother touching the Raid baits. Another good weapon is boric acid, which...

    Differences Between Dells

    What's the difference between Dell's Home and Small Business stores? It appears to me that sometimes prices are more appealing on the small business side. Are there specific requirements for ordering through their small business arm? Do you have to be incorporated, have a business address, etc?

    Those poor artists. They might have to lay off a butler or two. I'll try not to lose any sleep over it. :rolleyes

    iPod popularity and geography

    My "legacy" iPod currently gathers dust in the drawer. Instead, I take my Mini everywhere now. :D I see a lot of iPods in Chicago and San Francisco...the two places I spend the bulk of my time.

    Warners Chat - LIVE Transcript Questions and Post Chat Discussion

    Because a few devoted followers on HTF are clamoring for it? I think Warner is looking for a critical mass and I just don't see it for that film. I'm getting a good laugh out of a fair number of suggestions in the two-disc SE thread. I'm glad Ron's comment about listing films that truly deserve...

    Advice on dogs.

    I have two Labs and they are alone all day, but boy do they have a ton of energy when I get home. They do shed their coats twice a year, but because of that, they've never had to be groomed. A good frequent brushing during shedding season and an occasional bath does the trick for them. The best...

    American Dreams Ongoing thread

    Damn, I love this show. The scene at the end where Jimmy Riley joins them all around the dinner table gave me chills. I think Jack felt a great amount of pride while sitting there with a fellow veteran, although seeing Jimmy paralyzed must remind him of the dangers JJ's facing. Oh yeah, I think...

    Need Advice on a New Laptop

    Eh...in the end I decided to dump the Toshiba. Best Buy was out of the S150's and they were willing to sell me the floor model only for a measly $100 off and told me the $150 rebate was not applicable on open box items. After a heated exchange with a floor manager about the need to reduce the...

    Need Advice on a New Laptop

    Specs are pretty similar. The 359 offers a FireWire port, which is a moot point because I do my video work on a Mac. The 150 does have built-in 802.11g (the 359 is 802.11b) The 359 does have a video card with dedicated memory (the 150's is shared) The one downer...neither have XP Pro, which...

    Need Advice on a New Laptop

    Okay...it seems I'm being pushed toward the Toshibas. I made forays today to both Best Buy andd Circuit City and I think I've narrowed my decision to two models...the S150 (P4) and the S359 (Centrino) Considering that this will not be my primary computer, do you think the S359 is overkill?

    TiVo...How cool is this?

    Comcast decided to shake up my lineup again (when will I get satellite?), dropping five channels and changing the channel numbers for the remaining stations. This posed a dilemma for my TiVo service, especially for my season passes. I e-mailed TiVo and they asked me to send a a copy of Comcast's...

    Need Advice on a New Laptop

    I did. $1100 and I'd still have to upgrade to XP Pro and get a wireless card. The deal on the Inspiron 1100 is quite appealing. Unfortunately, I didn't see it until this morning and, alas, it's now gone. Anyone familiar with the Averatec laptops? They have an ultra-portable refurbished model...

    Need Advice on a New Laptop

    Can anyone provide any recommendations for a new laptop? I'm not going to be travelling with it a ton, so I'm not terribly concerned with the size/weight. I'm probably going to be using XP Pro on it. It will almost exclusively be using a wireless connection at home and at the office. I'm looking...

    Cripes! Yahoo Baseball Leagues

    I'm not actually running a league. It's a public one. I don't want to do an auto-draft, so I guess I'll just look to join a different league.

    My draft is scheduled for tonight, but I'm going to miss it. What do I have to do to reschedule? Move to another league?

    *** Official 2003 Academy Awards Discussion Thread

    I wondered the same thing. I heard that clip on the radio while coming into work and don't recall hearing it last night. Guess I'll fire up the Tivo when I get home.

    My feelings are just about opposite. I find Frank to be pretty grating and one dimensional while Romano was usually always entertaining.
