A friend of ours is doing a family room/HT. They're not serious audio or HT folks, so they just want a reasonable setup, as hassle-free as possible - so I'm recommending what we did in our "everyday" rooms, not our dedicated HT (which has more serious/expensive gear). My surround speakers we...

Here's a few images I got of the top guys in the Tour of California, all in the Solvang time trial: Levi: Lance: David Zabriskie (US national time trial champion, 2nd overall in ToC, using his tongue on the climb of Ballard Canyon): Michael Rogers (Aussie national time...

I did a search and was shocked to find not a single thread on this foreign film Oscar winner (I know it's not in very wide release yet, and only available in major market arthouses now, but still...). Set in the 1980s, "The Lives of Others" tells the story of a secret service agent in East...

The current theater trailer makes it look like Gladiator II (which wouldn't be the worst thing, except it's already been done). If this one doesn't do big box office, following Troy and Alexander as box office bombs, I'd think that would shut down the Hollywood coffers for "swords and...

Q: what speakers work best with the Pioneer 1014 receiver? I just got HD cable for my HDTV in the family room, and don't yet have surround sound there. I've ordered the Pioneer for that setup, and I'm thinking of replacing an old Technics receiver in the bedroom as well (where an HD LCD panel...

I'm finally taking the Tivo plunge (I've held off, planning to go satellite and get the combo DVR/sat receiver for all our viewing rooms, but my wife finally wants Tivo for Christmas; we still have cable, our internet hookup is cable, and Comcast finally has Extra Innings, so there's no...

I've downloaded more than a couple mp3 files now that were marked as 128 kbps, and took the requisite time to download. When I try to play them, though, I get no readout, no music, and silence, and the file stops within the first second. Or - the latest fiasco - all the files with different...

...ABM co-star Paul Bettany (the guy who played Russell Crowe's imaginary roomate). Story here: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...le_connelly_dc Based on the earlier JC threads, some guys' hopes (fantasies?) are dashed, I'm sure ;).

Anyone using an Ipod (or other MP3 hard drive, for that matter) as a mobile hard drive backup? I'm thinking I can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, if I get a hard drive MP3 with max. capacity, and use roughly half for music, half for file backup. (I'm assuming it's possible to use...

Here's a question about using an iPod with a Windows PC: I have a Windows 98 system with 1st generation USB as my primary computer (we have a newer, Windows Me system on the other desktop in our house, but that's not where my Mp3 files are). The iPod specs say Windows Millenium or newer is...

I hadn't had a need to download new movies for awhile into the list to add to my DVD collection. (Took a hiatus in buying until I got some gift certificates recently.) I've tried for two days now, and can't ever get the DVD Profiler online list to refresh - I keep getting a timed out error...

I had my 300-DVD collection inventoried in DVDProfiler. My computer crashed last week, and I ended up doing a restore of Windows 98 without having to re-format, so all my files should still be intact, except for email, browser bookmarks, address book etc. (thanks, Microsoft :frowning...

It's one thing to cover the war in Afghanistan almost non-stop (that IS news, IMO), but the overblown, constant coverage of bio-terrorism has been largely irresponsibly done by the media. It seems it's taken AT LEAST a full week to start to get some useful perspective or rational treatment of...
