Just got AOTC for $9.99. I was speechless when all 45 people waiting to get their copies told the store employees that they wanted Widescreen :) Young/Old, mothers/fathers, students...I think one person out of the whole group wanted pan/scam.
I think it was Moby who said that in years to come we'll all look back during this banal period of music which was based on the tastes of young teenage girls and wrestling fans. I guess one could be offended by that comment but in my opinion I think it's close to the truth.
I remember working...
Thanks for the suggestions. I just filed yesterday online so I'll keep my eyes out for the paperwork to follow. In the meantime I've been studying for my A+. I'm already an MCP for Windows Pro 2000 and having another title won't hurt. There are also job fairs coming up so if anyone in NJ is...
Thanks for the suggestions and experiences. Looks like it's off to the unemployment agency tomorrow. My company is paying me for November and then that's it. I'm trying to push both my Technical Sales skills and Computer skills to each hopeful opportunity. My fiance and I are buying a house in...
Hey Folks, For the first time in 12 years I am unemployed. I was at my last job for 4 1/2 years. There were cuts in the tech dept which resulted in my jobless state. For the past few hours I've been calling/emailing/faxing various job placement firms. I've never filed for unemployment before so...
I saw U2 twice in Jersey last year and it was an amazing experience to be standing close to the stage. I missed the Super Bowl show but I'll make up for it by watching the DVD of the Boston Concert.
I also saw the Popmart tour years ago and it was such a horrible experience. My interpretation...
Hey Nick I have an older model, the 7200 ext USB burner (I think it's the 7200, a relative of mine is borrowing it at the moment) and it runs fine. As a rule of thumb, shut off any screen savers and even antivirus software during a burn session. You don't want any TSR (terminate/stay/resident)...
I have a feeling that we're going to hear a lot of "garage rock" in the next few years on mainsteam radio. Remember, the early 90s brough Grunge into the mainstream so this may be history repeating itself.
Still waiting for Trip Hop to make an impact on mainstream radio. Just as well it...
Hi Basi,
Happy New Year. This morning I tried dvdtalk.com which is a site that I frequent for DVD Bargain threads. I am unable to load the page. At work, I am also having trouble accessing DVD Talk so it may be an error on their end. I am not sure at this time. My speed right now is 1.5 mb/s...
Hey guys I am back as of Sunday, 11:52AM After a barrage of phone calls since Thursday night, I am now running at 1.82mb/s. It's true what they're saying about XP owners. Somehow, XP isn't compatible with their software which arrived in the mail. I deleted the software from my PC, made sure that...
Hey Basi, thanks for the update. And whoever posted the forum link, thanks as well! I can't wait to leave work today and tackle this problem. Comcast tech support apperently told one person that the problem is XP and to "roll back" to @home which for me didn't work 2 days ago, hence the update...
Jack, after the 30 seconds does your page load up or does it show an error message? By the way I am posting this and other internet activity from work. I tried phoning Comcast this morning to look for answers regarding the outage but no luck. They say, "All circuts are busy."
I have an update: My connection has been down for 15+ hours. The recorded message says that the transistion in Northern NJ will only be temporary. I can pull email from the @home server but nothing from the comcast.net I have an IP address and I can also ping the gateway IP. Something's wrong on...
I just updated my credentials in regards to @home and so far things look okay. My firewall was preventing the upgrade from proceeding so I recommend that if you are running Norton Firewall, turn the damn thing off. It alerts you about a vbs script which is part of the upgrade process.
I...
Did you try emailing the manufacturer to see if/when a driver will come out? It's strange that they haven't released one yet. I have a Lexmark All-In-One X83 Printer and I had to wait about a week. I think the closest thing you can come up with for now, is to see if you can run the printer...
My girlfriend got me the Sopranos 2nd Season Box set and The Stanley Kubric DVD Box set :) I'm a happy camper. I got her U2 Live in Boston DVD and Bruce Springsteen Live in NYC DVD.
I'm also a writer who doesn't have as much time to contribute to his craft at this time (studying for MCSE). So in the meantime, my comedy script and novella are on hold. Barnes and Noble has a great program for self-publishing. Check this out:

Ah, good to see that another Lisa Gerrard fan exists! By the way I recommend the new Dead Can Dance Boxset which comes with 3 cds + a DVD version of their concert from "Towards the Within."
As far as I know, Lisa and her current musical partner Pieter Bourke, have one song on the album. Not...
The Matrix: I was expecting a lot and got so little. The story "borrowed" from too many sources (ex. William Burroughs, Phillip Dick, 'Ghost in the Shell', etc...) While the concept of "question reality" is an amazing thing, the hype made some of the fans want to know what all the symbolism...
Would you be able to go to a Computer Show and check out legacy laptops? Their LCD screens may be the answer along with the old PC to simply run a slide show program with the pictures. I would suggest a P 166MHZ which is old and shouldn't cost too much. Also, the screens back then were small so...
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I found a lot of web sites with sample tests. They usually have 40-60 questions, each different from the other site. I've been scoring really well on them which leads me to believe that I suffer from some kind of anxiety attack before a test.
I actually go...
Sounds like you have most of the stuff you'll need. For components, I would suggest purchasing a hub so all 4 computers can see one another on your mini LAN. If you want each machine to share your internet connection (if you are using DSL or Cable) then I would suggest a router.
I believe you...
Brilliant movie. It made me feel for the characters in the following ways: Getting that next fix, feeling existential in a world of "what-ifs" and "dreams not fulfilled", reality at ground zero.
Hey Folks,
I'm a bit bummed out right now. After studying for 3 weeks, I was 2 questions shy of passing the Network+ certification test. Basically I am attending a local night school for MCSE and we're starting on Win 2000 Server. Not to be too far behind, I decided to take my certification...
Hey Folks,
About 15 years ago on cable I remember watching a silly movie starring a police officer by the name of "Dave" with strange powers. Whenever he saw the color red, his power would disappear. I believe Ernest Borgnein(sp) was in it as well. Any chance that I'm not the only one who...
