    The problem I'm having with Internet porn

    It's funny, as I try to find programs to log and print his IE history; for every link that leads to what I'm looking for, there are 150 on how to foil those programs. "protect your privacy!" etc.. I have no problems with porn. I like porn. Well, I thought I liked porn, compared to this guy I...

    The problem I'm having with Internet porn

    "netnanny" ... I'll check it out, thanks. Are there things I can do with the current original setup? Can I do things retroactivly by installing any of this software? My dad wan't an estimate of how much time this guy f'd off.

    The problem I'm having with Internet porn

    Hey gang, Well, it's neither that I disapprove, nor that I am an abuser. It's that a guy that my father hired recently to act as his plant manager and mechanic apparently has a problem. Short story long -- I've personally caught him watching "videos" twice in one week. My dad talked to him...

    Official HTF "Peter Pan - Platinum Edition" review?

    Hey Chris S, I think you'll like it. I'd call myself a fan of Disney, but not really a fanatic. Thusly, that book really was an eye opener for me regarding the stylistic influences of specific individuals on Disney's animated films of that era. In this case seeing behind the curtain really...

    Official HTF "Peter Pan - Platinum Edition" review?

    Hey Chris S, If you dig that painting I strongly suggest you check out Mary Blair. She did a lot of conceptual stuff for a lot of Disney features back then. There's a bunch of great stuff out there, I recommend "The art and flair of Mary Blair". I actually bought two because I liked it so much...

    Super Hero Power Logic..

    yeah, kinda. I always liked to think that whatever "effect" supes had on stuff, sort of resulted in everything around him suddenly having the properties of styrofoam (to him). That's why nobody ever got pulverized when he'd catch them in mid-air, and that's what kryptonite robbed him of. I don't...

    Super Hero Power Logic..

    What always used to bug me was when superman would pick up a car by its bumper... I mean why not try to pick it up by its windshield wiper? Then I decided he must be emanating some sort of field, effectively making the stuff lighter, also making it possible for him to not sink into the pavement...

    Has anyone ever ordered a big tv online? What are the chances it'll arrive unharmed?

    Oh well, it was worth a shot. However, if, in your search you see a SNES for the price you'd like to pay for the cables; I'll be here.

    Has anyone ever ordered a big tv online? What are the chances it'll arrive unharmed?

    Not to sidetrack here but, Viper, I've been looking for a Super Nintendo and just happen to have XBOX component cables I'd be willing to part with if you can dig one up. Just a thought. And as far as ordering big stuff, my "Big TV" arrived just fine but the trucker guys unloading it lifted it...

    Hey Super Nintendo Scholars!

    Wii virtual console? Hmm... I guess the only question is should I buy the Wii or the original from someone who is going to do it Wii style? Do you think the Wii will put a lot of that old stuff back out on the market? It seems like it should. Oh and I've never seen the 2-d N64 sequel, and can't...

    Hey Super Nintendo Scholars!

    Hey Abby, I just spilled the beans to my wife about getting this for her; and she informed me that we didn't play it for 20 mins like I remember. We played it for three days straight. I guess it just seemed like 20 mins! She says she couldn't tear me away when it was time to go back to college...

    Stop-Motion Animation Software

    Hey Brian, nope never tried Linux, but am eager to hear how your expirience goes. Free is always good, but I wouldn't mind throwing down $99 for a nice program. I've got a Canon 20D and a couple of nice lenses that I really want to use in this capacity. Good luck! Let us know how you do.

    Stop-Motion Animation Software

    Hey Brian! Yeah, what's up with this? This is a great question. I too have stop motion aspirations. Plus, how about time lapse stuff? I'd love to be able to do just what you're talking about. Hmmm...

    Post your best A/V bargains here.

    8!!?? So you DO live in paradise! I've got 2 but I never go to the other one because they sell the stuff that the other place would'nt even take. VHS are like 3-4 bucks!! They do have a lot of really awful hip-hop jewelry though.

    Post your best A/V bargains here.

    It sounds like you live amongst the greatest people in the world - they buy great stuff then when no longer need it unload it for nothing. Around here most people buy crap then want more than what they paid for it. The speakers I see are nothing less than pitiful. But, I get all my video game...

    Hey Super Nintendo Scholars!

    You know I actually HAVE the N64 sequel. "Goeman's Great Adventure". I must be an idiot. I thought that guy looked familiar.

    Hey Super Nintendo Scholars!

    YES!!!!! That is it. Oh man Thanks so much! I searched lists and lists of SN games just to see if a name would jog my memory, but no luck. I should have come here first. Thanks again. I'm off to Ebay!

    Man, I love pawn shops. I hear you about when they let something slip through. Most of my deals come in the form of DVD which I hesitate to describe for fear of it getting out. But here goes, a local place has a tiered pricing structure of $11.99 for new releases then 9.99 for recent 7.99 for...

    Hey Super Nintendo Scholars!

    I'm trying to identify a game I played for about 20 mins about 12 years ago. The game was owned by my wife but she has no idea what it was. Here is what I remember. It was japanese; set in old school japan. Everyone was SD, either that or it was all little kids. Gameplay involved walking through...

    Zombie Movie Appreciation Thread

    Hey all, I recently watched "I,Zombie" released under Fangoria's imprint. I'd never heard of it and actually still haven't other than owning it. I got it at a pawn shop and gave it a spin. I thought it was really cool. It's about a guy, (a writer I think), who gets bitten and documents his...

    Worst use of CGI in a movie?

    I'm not in the business but have two friends who are lead animators for a contract studio in SF. My experience with these guys and their working environment was/is pretty surprising. I think people's impressions of the special effects industry are pretty romanticised. I think the best way to sum...

    Samsung Blu-Ray player on display at my local Best Buy

    I just got back from CircutCity (wife was in Old Navy) I was just burning some time not really looking at anything in particular. I saw a small display of Blu-ray titles and thought maybe they'd have one set up. At that point my kid took off and I had to chase him (2.5 year old) down an aisle...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Hey gang, I have considered this (1200+ collection) a couple of times but a. don't have time to search and print and b. am reluctant to cut inserts. Does anyone make a thin case that accommodates the extra 1/8" front and back? I mean makes a case that would stick out 1/8 inch further than a...

    1st FP, SP5000 impressions, living room

    Hey John S, it looks to me that I'm asking all the same questions that you were just a couple of weeks ago. I'm keenly interested in how you are feeling about: 1.LCD 2.Refurb 3.5000 vs 4805, ie HD vs non. I too will mostly be watching LD's and DVD's as well as Directv I suppose too. I also will...

    sp4805 vs sp5000

    The DLP Infocus SP4805 and the LCD Infocus SP5000. Okay, so if you had your choice of the two; what would you do? I am finding the price difference to be personally achievable, and am wondering if it's worth it. I won't be dealing with any HD sources so I'm not sure that I'll be benefitting at...

    refurbished 4805's? Pros- Cons?

    I guess 90 days really isn't too bad. I plan to have at least several hundred hours clocked in the first couple weeks or so anyway. So I'll probably find out if something is screwy pretty quickly. I'll ponder this a little longer and then find where I think my best deal is coming from. (Unless...

    Hanna Barbera DVDs ????

    I'd be second in line for Ed Gimley. I thought Count Floyd was the best.

    refurbished 4805's? Pros- Cons?

    I look at these things on E-bay and I just don't know what to make of them. Does anyone out there have any expirience with one? How extensive is their "re-manufacturing" and what kinds of problems did most of the units have to get them returned initially? How big of a roll of the dice do you...
