Re: Warner Brothers to Back Blu-Ray Exclusively

based on what they said a few weeks ago, I thought they might go HD-DVD only.........but
at least they made a CHOICE (for now anyway #-o )
The whole 2 format/exclusive player deal was hurting both types, and most consumers, not wanting to guess wrong on the winner, bought neither.

Re: XP SP3

Running SP3 on another machine right now, install was slow (several checking/backup steps) but automatic, took 2 reboots at the end before the existing network was seen.
seems as fast as SP 2 was on that machine before (maybe a little faster) and completely stable (so far :roll: )

Re: Japanese Tow Truck???

i wonder if those can tow a hummer H1 or an Excursion :) It looks like the tow dolly part has brakes, so the weight of the towed vehicle is less important. even if it could only pull a stall/wrecked car off to the shoulder/next exit, it would clear up the freeway more quickly than waiting for a ful...

Re: CarveWright Computer Controlled Wood Machine?

I haven't played with one of these, but have used other CNC machines.
I know they sell these at sears so they may have "demo days"
Could be fun (and productive) if you had $2-3000 to spend (base maching is near $2k, and almost everything else is an accessory (extra $$$$)

I'm puzzled why they started Judaism after Hinduism as Abraham came from the family lineage of Noah and Shem. :-k you think you're confused...? it's pretty obvious that nobody can change a lot of mindsets with 5, 10, 15 years of war no matter how big the army, when some of the beliefs/arguments are...

CC is instead making NFL network a seperate pa...

Re: upconverting dvd players

some higher end HDTV's include an unconvert mode as part of the signal processor, but most rely on your other components (DVD, cable or satellite box,tivo, etc) to pre-process the signal for the best output. remember that upcoverting is just "massaging" the signal, filling in info/line dou...

I believe that model is CD-R/RW only, is it possible you bought CD+R/RW disks? Even if you have the correct type of disks, some drives are very picky as to the brand of disks, so try another major)brand. cdfreaks.com or CDRinfo.com probably have a review and can tell you which brands worked well wit...
