    Cast iron and carbon steel cookware: or I'll never trade in convenience for quality (and health) again!

    If I didn't feel "personally invested" in seasoning my Lodge CI & CS pans (and the Lodge CS pan is an abomination the way it comes from the factory, it's coarser than their CI pans) I'd consider picking up a set of Smithey's (or one of several cheaper Kickstarter alternatives — not as beautiful...

    @Ronald Epstein I get a "Page Not Found" on Amazon when clicking on the link :(

    Toshiba HD-A1 HDMI Issue

    The 1.2 version of the firmware that's floating around the net *has not* fixed the issue. The best I get is a brief flashing of the Toshiba's HD-DVD logo on the screen before it switches back to "no signal detected" screen. I also once saw (just as briefly) a "no disc in tray" message. Also, the...

    What was your very first DVD?

    I didn't have a first DVD. For those who remember this offer, my first purchase was getting 3 for $1 from 800.com and those were the two Terminator movies and Pulp Fiction. Needless to say, all three have been replaced since.

    Terminator "Extreme" & "Ultimate" Edition Questions

    I have the original 2-disc version. For some reason I prefer it to the DVD-18 one, perhaps because of the artwork on the discs :)

    Chinatown DVD - edited?

    Shaughan, only confirming what everybody else said — bolded dialog is missing.

    Chinatown DVD - edited?

    I do, but I haven't watched it in a while. Can you tell me roughly at which time point in the movie it should be?

    Sho Kosugi ninja series

    Didn't MGM do a P&S butchery on those releases?

    Last Action Hero SE?

    I'll be happy to pick it up and can vouch for a few friends who loved the movie, too. Are we getting into double-digit fan base yet? :)

    Best Buy is Crazy!

    While I agree in general that Fry's staff is for the most part worthless (I've seen one or two exceptions in the 13 years I've been going there), some of the things have changed. If I need to return/exchange, I go there between 9 & 10 in the morning on the way to work and there's almost no line...

    New Matilda SE DVD in Full Screen Only! (Sign the Petition)

    Judging by the cover scans at DVD Empire, nothing has changed :frowning:

    1080p source material ???

    My guess (although I might be wrong) is that 1080i material is a 1920x540, not 1920x1080.

    New "The Parent Trap" (1998) DVD?

    Also, any word on whether or not it's finally anamorphic?

    How do you program a VCR with cable???

    I've been off of VCRs for a while now, but if I'm not mistaken, your VCR is supposed to be on channel 3, not 4 if you're using an RF connection from the cable box.

    Do you opt to recieve an email from Amazon.com once an unreleased DVD is announced?

    I do it -- mostly in the hopes that Amazon will indeed pass it on to the studios and that something good will come out of it. It's almost never happened that an email from them would tell me something I didn't already know though ;)

    Quick Netflix Question

    They have a 2-at-a-time (4 rentals a month) for $11.99 rental program. All other programs do not limit the number of DVDs you can rent in a month.

    Video scaler?

    All scalers are subject to Garbage In -- Garbage Out rule, but if the signal is OK and looks bad just to inefficiency of built-in scaler, something like iScan products (look here) might help.

    Looking For: (Kotyonok) <The Kit

    It's actually up to the browser as they are displayed correctly on mine -- and I didn't even have to pick the Cyrillic encoding (it's on auto-select and seems to have chosen Western European). The computer has a regular Win2K installed, no funky stuff with setting the locale to be different than US.

    What is a DVD-9

    Ben Hur was released as a DVD-18 (dual-side, dual-layer). DVD-14 is a dual-side, dual-layer/single-layer, like Terminator SE released by MGM.

    FSX -12 Velodyne Sub

    Rich, I have an FSR-12 and had experienced the same problem once -- turned out the fuse has blown in the power supply block. There are no seals to break, you just unscrew it, pull it out and check the fuse. If the fuse is good, then I don't know.

    Three Chip DLP ???

    The one I was refering to was actually an FP housed in a mirrored cabinet to turn it into an RP. The cabinet was designed for a two-chip FP but I've been told that the three-chip version would work in it, too.

    Three Chip DLP ???

    There were 3-chip DLP projectors from the time the first DLP projectors came out, but they cost a pretty penny (tens of thousands of dollars).
