Confirmed on the 4/5 disc Target 3-D set for 19.99 "lower than advertised price" in Idaho.

Regarding the Star Trek Blu+DVD combo question, any chance the "digital copy" comes in such a way that you could just pop it into a DVD player that handles multiple formats (WMV, AVI-divx, etc.) and use that as a temporary solution until a Blu-ray player is purchased? (I'm in this situation...

Hi all, Thanks for the suggestions. I did have to use safe mode to get rid of some of the original garbage I received. I'll probably use system restore as a last resort but I've been doing a bit of work and projects on this computer so I'd like to try and just clean it first. Aaron, I'll...

Hi HTF computer friends, I had some relatives in town last week who used my PC and got it infected with all sorts of crud that caused random pop-ups and other adware nasties to take place. I downloaded a tool call SuperSpywareRemove (or something like that) and managed to clean up everything...

Took about 3 tries. Not a great likeness, but not bad either.

But what I REALLY want to know is if $20 will get me an "all syrup Super Squishee" at one of these stores. :) "If you survive, please come again."

Or check the number on the inner ring of the disc as described in post 41 of this thread.

Since I posted regarding my initial call (higher up on this page), I'll also report that I received my corrected copy last week. Very nice of Disney to just send the disc and trust me to send the defective one back. David

I just got off of the phone with Disney on this issue, and the story I got is that they are DEFINITELY fixing the issue as quickly as possible and WILL send me a new disc with a prepaid mailer to return the old one, as soon as it becomes available. So I would recommend to anyone who called...

Thank goodness, Billy survived. He was the obligatory "nice guy who looks like he died but then it turns out he didn't" character. I know this because I actually had to buy this movie instead of renting it, since it came out when Hollywood/Blockbuster were going through their awkward "we...

The video is even better than just the song. (It's all over on the web-- google video, YouTube, Al's Myspace page...) And to tie the video for W & N back to the thread title, look closely when he's "editing Wikipedia" by typing "YOU SUCK" in very large font-- it's the "Atlantic Records" entry...

They don't, but Al has a very high standard of getting artists' approval before he'll do a spoof. In this particular case, he had James Blunt's permission but the record label stepped in, and Al didn't want to cause problems between Blunt and his label so he pulled the song from the album...

Weird Al Yankovic's new album was supposed to come out last month, but his song "You're Pitiful" (spoof of "You're Beautiful") got squashed not by James Blunt, but his record label (Atlantic). In protest, Al made the song available for free download at his website (http://www.weirdal.com, which...

The newest LED Christmas lights are da bomb. They have just about everything over traditional lights: -- Very low power draw, so you can string them in series back to back to back to back to back without blowing a fuse -- They don't burn out and they'll probably last until you're too old...

My older brother took me to this in the summer of '81 when I was 12. I had a childhood fear of skeletons and rotting dead bodies, so I was pretty freaked out by Forrestal, the mummy room, and the ark opening scene. But I still loved it and it remains one of my favorites to this day.
