I am not happy right now, and neither is my boss. I am a paralegal at a Seattle law firm. Last week, a client of ours brought in a video tape to use as an exhibit in his hearing this morning. It is a Hi8 video that he shot of himself and his family, on his own Hi8 camcorder. I brought...

Have any Windows Vista Home Premium users tried the new DVD Authoring functionality? This, to me, is one of the most significant new features in the OS, especially considering there are really no open-source or other free solutions out there. I note that many online/magazine reviews of the OS...

Hello everybody, A friend of mine has $2,500 to spend on a new HDTV and would like some recommendations. Here are the criteria: Price: $2,000-2,500 would be ideal. Could possibly go up as high as $3,000 for something really great. Size: 50", 56", or 62". HDMI: This input should be...

Hello everybody, I was a happy and loyal player of STAR WARS GALAXIES for a little over a year, but I quit when most of my in-game friends left the game. I tried the 14 day trial of WORLD OF WARCRAFT, but I must be the only person on the planet who does not like the game. The main activies...

Hi everybody, I was recently informed by my ISP that some spam had been traced to my IP address, due to an "open proxy" as the result of some kind of virus or worm. I thought that was impossible, because AVG Antivirus, Ad-Aware, and Spybot Search & Destroy all came up clean. I further tried...

Hi everybody, I am a recent victim of some erroneous charges to my debit card. This situation has cost me quite a bit of money. I have put an end to the root problem, and now I'm trying to recover as much of my lost money as possible. I know there are several folks on this board who are...

Hello everybody, I have started collecting comics again after an 8 year absence from the hobby. I've been catching up on new works by my favorite creators, including SANDMAN spin-offs that were released after the monthly series concluded. A couple months ago, I bought a used copy of...

Hi everybody, My boss wants to be able to access his desktop computer (here in the office) from his laptop while he is out on the road. The most popular commercial application for this is NORTON's PC ANYWHERE. Has anyone used this software? Are there alternatives that do a better job...

Hi everybody, I've searched online help as well as Google and haven't found a solution to my problem. My office is using PowerPoint 2000 (except on the boss's laptop, which has PowerPoint 2003). We want to be able to create, and distribute on CD-R, presentations that automatically enter...

I used to play this game at the arcades in the mid-80s but I can't remember its name. It was a martial-arts fighting game, but it was out YEARS before Street Fighter or Mortal Combat or any of the others. The here was a male martial artist. He fought a variety of enemies including a woman...

Hey everybody, I just realized that the final Star Trek episode will air on May 13, and the final Star Wars movie opens a mere six days later, on May 19. This truly represents the end of an era, as two of the most popular sci-fi epics of all time coincidentally come to an end within a week...

Hello everybody, I work in a private investigator's office and we have a large archive of photographs taken for various cases over the years. We are looking for a way to archive all our old photos in a searchable archive. The boss has an Olympus E-10 which records EXIF data and includes a...

Picnic at Hanging Rock and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are the only ones that come to mind. Are there any others?

I couldn't find an existing thread on this topic. If there is one, please accept my apologies. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/02/02/nu....ap/index.html

Hi everybody, Are there any quirks, oddities, or other unexpected issues involved when mixing Windows 2000 and Windows XP PRO on the same (ethernet) network? Many thanks.

I've seen many recipes on the web. Most of the Pico de Gallo recipes are pretty similar. The salsa recipes, much less so. I though I would see if the fine folks on this forum have their own secrets when it comes to making these items. My tastes tend towards "medium" rather than "hot". For...

Hi everybody, I'm 99% sure this episode is on the season 1 DVD set, but I need to find a particular clip by tonight for a DUI attorney. The scene: The blond cop (Clemmy) stops a guy in jeans & cowboy hat for DUI. She asks him to recite the alphabet backwards as quickly as possible, and he...

Greetings, I'm in my 3rd month of STAR WARS GALAXIES and the flaws are becoming apparent. I'd like to try another MMORPG with the following qualities: Rich, complex quests, rather than the simple, repetitive "kill" or "deliver" missions. Even the "theme parks" in SWG (Rebel Base, Jabba's...

Most of the classic Norman Lear shows are out on DVD. However, we are missing Mary Hartman, Fernwood 2Nite, and MAUDE. Is there any news on any of these? As always, I would even accept unsubstantiated rumors. Personally, I'm interested in MHMH and Fernwood but a buddy of mine is really...
