I need a good software program that allows safe surfing for my daughter so that when she's looking for information on school projects and such that no pr0n and the like comes up. Any decent, reliable programs that anyone uses? I don't know much about this so any info to point me in the right...

Yeah, whatever happened to the CRTC? Usually there's some sort of hearings and such but it seems they just let this happen with no ruling or anything.

And about god damn time. I actually have to give credit to Best Buy for this move, especially after the whole deceptive practice of trying to fool customers on prices with their own intranet website, perhaps this is just a way to make it up to the shoppers they have pissed off recentley... I...

I ripped some of my CD's when my internet was down using WMP 9. I prefer using Cdex but since I did the ripping on the laptop I didn't have the program on it. So now I have 10 Cd's with Unknown Artist/Unknown song etc...I was wondering if theres a simple way of retrieving the media information...

And Tom Sholz contributed!! He has never been a fan of digital but says these remasters are quite pleasing to his ear. There is a great article written about many of the changes done in the new remastered and his thoughts on digital and Mp3. I have been rediscovering my classic rock CD...

I have a friend that's got some "tests" to do on Tuesday who has just applied for a mail carrier position. We're both wondering what exactly these tests incorporate so he can go in a bit more prepared. Thanks for any insight :)

Too be honest I don't quite understand this whole HiDef radio idea. Is there really such a thing or is it just a marketing ploy from ClearChannel & friends? I find it rather funny that the same companies that helped kill FM radio is out on a massive PR stunt like this to gain back the listeners...

Yes, another "witness the death" of HiRez thread. Two days ago with not a lot to do I decided to check on some of the *better* locations (big box retailers) for HiRez discs. First I went to A & B sound in downtown Edmonton and even though their selection isn't the biggest they usually carry...

I've been waiting for a playoff/Oilers thread to come around for sometime but after nothing I'll take the initiative. :) How about them Oilers? Who would have ever thought? 8th seed into the playoffs and have knocked out #1 Detroit, the fiesty Sharks and now Anaheim. We haven't been to the...

This has been really annoying me, probably more because I'm sure its a real simple solution but for some reason its over my head. I used to own a Denon 2802 and a Toshiba SD 5700 DVD A player. No problems, always got everything to work for the 3 + years I owned this combo. In the autumn I...

The Fleetwood Mac Rumours thread got me thinking. I am severly lacking in the concert DVD department, all I have is Fleetwood Mac The Dance and Nine Inch Nails And All That Could Have Been. A disc I have always been meaning to get but just haven't is Eagles hell freezes over, I used to listen to...

Some 19 year old decided to screw a fellow forum member of $25.00 and the community fights back with posting his address, yearbook pics, phone number and even a google earth shot of his home. Charlie (or Chuckles as he is sometimes known) basicly said "Yup, I screwed you and there's nothing any...

I did a search here at HTF but couldn't find any info regarding this release, mind you a lot of discussion in the past about how great of a forthcoming release this disc would be in Hi Rez. You can read it the full review here I have been waiting for this release in Hi Rez for some...

Just picked up a couple of new toys a couple days ago. Upgraded my reciever from a Denon 2802 to a 3805. I also, on a bit of a whim upgraded the Toshiba SD5700 DVD Audio player to a Denon DVD 1920 DVD Audio/SACD combo player. I have about 8 DVD Audio discs that I really enjoy (including...

My cousin asked me if I could help him out so I obliged. In the movie FUBAR, theres a scene where there sitting on a porch and one of them starts singing a song. Its like a early mid 90's rock tune my cousin figures and he's wondering what the name of the song is and who does it. Its not on...

Its slated for Friday, June 10th. Word on the street is that it will be multiplayer with more than one map. For current information you can check out www.bf2gaming.net Personally, I can't wait for this and the reviews are saying BF2 is fantastic. The game should be released sometime at the...

Seems like their going to make some changes and they want some advice from me on how to make and market the "new Nuance". I wrote a big thing on the audioreview message boards last summer about these speakers and the thread ended up getting locked. Funny thing is, there was no flaming within...

My favorite band using a Mark Burnett production to find a new lead singer? And I thought I had seen it all when they had Terence Trent Darby belting out their songs some years back. The Farris trio should have just renamed the band and continued writing music instead of killing the legacy of...

I'm looking to upgrade my ram currently I have 4 128 sticks of PC 800 @ 400 mhz. I'm looking to upgrade 2 sticks of 512 each (since they have to be run in pairs) so the total will be 1.28 Gb and see that much ram being sold is PC is of the PC 800 @ 800Mhz variety. Would there be any...

A couple weeks ago the girlfriend ordered cable TV on the phone since we just moved. We both had agreed due to our viewing habits that basic (and the cheapest) cable would be best. I rarely watch TV and her favorite shows are on the big networks anyway that are covered in this basic package...

To cut into this reality TV show forum of HTF I was wondering what everyone's favorite documentaries/nature shows etc are? I have always liked this one episode of "Nature" with George Page showing the mangrove forest of SE asia and all the animals living in the intertidal zone, the one with...

Reading that classic rock thread I noticed no one had put down Boston as one of their top 5 bands from that era. Being 30, I missed the 70's scene completely but as a teen in the early 90's started to really dig Boston and snapped up their first 3 releases. From what I read here at HTF is that...

Another year and another HTF Pumpkin. I am conditioned. It doesn't frighten me no more. :D

I have some tapes that I used to mix and blend songs together with from back in da day. I would like to transfer a few of these to my pc and convert to digital to a decent file size and I really don't know where to start. I use WMP9 as my audio jukebox, I'm not sure if it has this feature. I do...

The more I read about the the ipod the more I realize I'm so much better off with the iRiver. The salesman said when I was browsing last month for a portable player that the iRiver would be the "ipod killer". I'm starting to understand why. Now, I'm not here to shit on the iPod, it has been a...

Last week I went on a great hike in the mountains and for the first time ever I saw the wonders of what a digital camera can do. Mike had a Sony 3.2 megapixel, I'm not sure of the model. So I need a good camera to bring for these scenic shots, one that is 3MP or better and priced well. Any...

I posted the thread at a gaming website that I frequent. Some pics and a small story as to the adventure last week out in the Rockies. Just thought I would share it with HTF :) http://wolfgaming.net/main/index.php...wtopic&t=30404

Anybody else have one? I just put some tunes on it and man its sweet. So easy, just drag the songs into the folder. 20 gb Hard drive. I was apprehensive because my headphones, the Sennheiser HD 590's, are a quiet headphone and was afraid it wouldn't play very loud. But the volume goes loud...

I just picked up a LCD and have hooked up my old CRT moniter as my second. I have it hooked up using the adapter that came with the Geforce 4 Ti 4600 video card, its a DVI connection but has a "splitter" enabling you to either hook up a moniter digital or analog. So I have it hooked up VGA...
