    Windfall - ongoing thread

    Yes there was a list, and they didn't bring it up. Nor did they go into the fact that there was a kitchen full of whitenesses when that Pizza delivery girl put in her dollar.

    Reason for TV Logos and animated adds?

    I still don't understand the point of it. (I have a Tivo so it doesn't really apply to me.) If I'm channel surfing and I run across Survivor, I know I'm watching CBS. If I run into ER, I know its NBC, and if I hit Desperate Housewives, I know it's ABC. What they need to do it put those stupid...

    Green Day has a good song "Wake me up when September ends."

    War of the Worlds (2005)

    The bacteria/virus of our world. We had 6 million years to build up an immunity. The aliens were doomed from the start. I knew the ending was going to confuse people. While exiting the theater I heard people saying the birds killed the aliens. :frowning:

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    Its not like they had built a condo yet. It was only one afternoon of building. It looked like the only thing finished were rafter like beams. Besides what were they going to say? "No you can't enjoy my warm fire and boiled water because you didn't win the challenge." :)

    Bye bye Paige Davis (Trading Spaces)

    Half the fun of the show was watching to see what she would mess up! She was always breaking and bumping into things.

Free meaning that your cable compnay can't charge you more for the HD version. So if your TV has a digital tuner your going to get whatever...

    Movies you liked but everyone else hated

    There have been plenty of mine already mentioned, but one so far I haven't seen is Meet Joe Black. People say its too long because the characters are just looking at eachother and not speaking. I say there's alot to be said in the "unspoken word"!

    DVR Needed for Olympics and I'm Clueless

    Something that might effect your decision.. NBC is doing very little of the olympics in HD this year. I think I've read only 12 hours worth. Cheapest way I know now, is to get a 40hr refurbed Tivo for $100. (Includes the 50 buck rebate). Wait 30 days to make sure its not a dud then upgrade...

    Need a refresher on XP install

    Its been a while since I installed Windows XP, so I don't remember if what I want is part of the set-up process. I'm going to do a clean install on XP Home on a virgin hard drive next week on my parents computer. Does the set-up have an option to create a partition? I know it can make a...

    Any word on OZ Season 4?

    My guess it's going to be a while. The 3rd season just came out in February I believe, and season 2 came out a year before that. My bet season 4 won't come out till next year. Kinda sucks it takes so long, season 3 had only 8 episodes and with very little extras and it still took a year.
