    Da Ali G Show - Anyone watch this one?

    The HBO series covers a lot of the same ground that the British series does, especially in the first season. If you like the HBO series though and are considering picking up the region 2 discs, don't hesitate. I bought Both Aiii and Innit and laughed my ass off the whole way through. Sometimes...

    CableVision Digital Lineup Question..

    Isn't that how all the other cable companies work as well? I don't think anyone is giving away an HD channel without the person purchasing the corresponding premium channel. Fair point with regards to Discovery HD, I'd forgotten about them, but from what I hear about their offerings it's a...

    CableVision Digital Lineup Question..

    The repeated movies comment is valid, but you can't hang that on cablevision, that's the choice of the individual channels and the economics behind the decision are a discussion in and of themselves. As far as the number of channels offered, what else do you want? I hadn't ever heard of Nasa...

    Flexy Stand Help

    I wasn't ever able to find long enough threaded rod at Home Depot either. I ended up going to a smaller local hardware store and just asking them to order it for me which worked out fine. I used four sections of 6 foot long 3/4" zinc plated rod which I cut down to five feet apiece using a...

Discs are generally in good shape. Customer service was fine on the two occasions I've had problems. I'm located pretty close to...

    DVD organization project

    Josh, I hadn't thought about the disc borrowing factor - elegant solution. I have an open door policy about my discs friends are welcome to come over at any time and watch movies, but the disc themselves stay put. Steve, My collection somewhere around 200. Not sure if that counts as...

    DVD organization project

    Josh, Glad your project turned out well and I hope you continue to be happy with it. I also have large CD and DVD collections and people always suggest that I pick up a jukebox to manage them, but it never made sense for me. First off, I know that I'll eventually outgrow even the biggest...

    how to get rebates/freebies withOUT receipts?

    If you ask them for the receipt you run the risk of looking ungracious. It would be a shame to have it go unused, but trying to double up on a gift seems a bit callous. Why not give them the rebate form and tell them to pick out something for themselves? If they're not interested in it they'll...

    Flexy with black oxide steel and ceramic tile?

    I cut all four threaded rods on my flexy and had no problems getting the nuts on. I used a hacksaw and my arm was killing me, but it worked. Even if you did you couldn't get the nuts on you could always work them down from the opposite end.
