I use a switch from Inday which works very well. No signal degredation as far as I can tell. Here's a link: http://www.inday.com/rgb4x/rgb4x.htm

To me, this was the funniest episode so far. They better be careful because they're getting too close to Arrested Development quality.

If you are driving across in a US-registered vehicle and answer "Canadian" to the question about citizenship, Canadian customs will require proof of legal US residency. If you can't present a green card, they will likely stop you from bringing your car across at the very least.

My only car is a stick, but when I drive an automatic, I find left-foot braking seems to cure this tendency. Not to mention improving my comfort level in heavy traffic. But if you try this, do not rest your left foot on the brake pedal. Have it hovering above the pedal when you might need to...

I just bought Standing in the Shadow of Motown ( 2 disk with DTS sound) and Girl Interrupted the other day.

Another non-intuitive thing to try is checking return vs. one-way fares. Once I flew Ottawa - > Cleveland and found that the return fare was half the price of a one-way fare. I only wanted one-way, but guess which one I bought.

I bought a Craftsman cord electric in 1979 which I used with no problems until I moved in 2001. I gave it to a friend who is still using it. It was somewhat noisy for an electric but did/does the job. I bought a manual reel mower a couple of years ago, but gave up on it because the cut was...

Radio Shack also sells a limited line of X10 devices. And there is always www.x10.ca

Try double-clicking on the printer icon and see if there are jobs queued for it. If there are, select them and cancel them.

If you're using the X1's VGA input for the DVD player, the DVD player must be capable of progressive scan and set to output 480P. Is that the case?

If you can determine the make and model of the phono cartridge (the module on the end of the arm that holds the needle), you might be able to find a replacement here: Link Removed

The Air Force museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton OH is just an hours drive away.

Target have also cut the price of some DVDs to $5.50. And they don't use a bin.

In the US, Harbor Freight often discount their 18 gauge brad nailer to $15.00 or $20.00, and many people posting to the Usenet news group rec.woodworking swear by them. I also like the idea of using a crown stapler instead. However, those are usually a little more expensive.

Another possibility is poor signal distribution in the building. This may be the responsibility of the landlord to fix. In that case, lots of luck!

I've been using Tracfone for about 3 years now. I'm not a heavy user and don't roam much, so I can't comment on their coverage (or lack thereof). But it's always worked when I used it. Also, it's cheap for a casual user like me. They offer a 1 year card for about $95.00 with 150 minutes plus...

I had a similar problem with my setup. In my case, I was running Norton Internet Security, which includes a software firewall, and had to configure the firewall software to tag all my machines as trusted.

There was a TV movie about it called "The Hunley". I remember renting it a few years ago, but I can't seem to find a DVD version on the usual sites.

My guess is that the TT uses some sort of optical system to determine record size. Does it have an automated system to position and lower the tone arm? If yes, try placing an opaque record under the red one and see what happens.

I'm not sure I understand your question. But if you are refering to the distance between screen and projector, then, yes, the projected image is larger the further from each other. And the bigger the image, the more pronounced any flaws will be. I've not used a satellite box with my...

I'm using a digital cable box. The non-digital channels vary from awful to merely OK depending on varying reception. Digital SD channels are consistently OK. HDTV channels like InHD and HDNet are stunning.

The X1 can be set to 16:9. When you do that, it uses 800 x 450 pixels instead of the full 800 x 600. You can then tell your video sources that you have a 16:9 display and not be lying:)

Another Brit comedy I liked was Drop the Dead Donkey. I saw it a few years ago when I was still living in Canada. Was it ever shown in the US? And how did it rank in the UK survey?

The offset everyone refers to is vertical offset. The Infocus SP4800 has a vertical offset of 133% at 16:9 and 112% at 4:3. For example, a 16:9 screen with display height of 40 inches, ceiling (inverted) mount the projector so the lens is 1.33 x 40 = 53.2 inches above the bottom of the...

I put the Inday component switcher near my electronics with short component cables and only run one 25 foot component cable to the projector.

If you have access to a dial indicator, you might be able to use that to get the precise measure of deviation from flatness (the runout). Then you can contact the manufacturer and ask them whether your TT is within their spec. for runout.

A utility called WINISO will open it and allow changed files to be reinserted. I used it to edit the flash file, changing the manufacturer number from 0 to 1. This is described in a thread on avsforum. WINISO is available on a free trial basis at the usual download sites like TUCOWS.

You'll likely get the best cash exchange rate from a bank once you cross the border. Credit card purchases also offer pretty good exchange rates. You can use an ATM to get cash too, but expect a service fee at least from your bank.
