I have a Kenwood (ok, so not a top-of-the-line solution) 301 disk (both CDs and DVDs) jukebox. If you don't HAVE to have a PC setup, I'd recomend this as the way to go.
The drawback is that you have to make a list of what DVD is in what slot. But with a file-manager, you'd also have to scroll through 1000 listings.
Hacking, for example, would be more like modifying the tractor and stable to move your fiance directly from her milking station to your bed made of hay.
Basically, modifying something(s) to do something they were not originally designed to do.
I agree with you, to a point. I bought a relatively 36" TV last year, and spent roughly $650. Ok picture, great price.
If one is willing to spend $2500+, you can get a really nice 50" LCD TV that has pixels that seem smaller than my computer moniter's.
I was a Best Buy recently (granted they are not the best buy to be had) and compared the LCD against the CRT. Standing really close, with the same video source (not sure what the source was, but it was the same on ALL the screens) the LCD won hands-down. Too bad I can't afford it yet.
So in short, *IF* the price of the LCD can come down to the level of the CRT, the CRT should then be in very short supply. I just don't see that happening soon.
I bought my 21" NEC monitor for $180. Resolution is important to me, both in business (I like to be able to compare two docs side-by-side) and play. I'll buy an LCD when the price and resoluton levels are comparable to a quality CRT.
Also, most CRT's have a 1" bezel. So a 19" CRT would (generally, not exactly) be the equivelent of an 18" LCD.
So show me a 20" LCD for less than $300 (LCD is newer, so I'd be willing to pay a bit more) that can do 1600x1200+ at a high refresh rate and I'll buy today.
Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. How would a better, more sensible way to work be? Some days a week (some weks, more days than others), I get to work from home. I don't see how that stupid. I actually view it as a perk.
My company already pays for my internet service, which is advertised, as related other places in this thread, as 'unlimited'. What extra charges are you refering to?
Lastly, I am using none of I2's bandwidth. In fact, even given the fact that I'm in a fairly rural area, the segment of the internet that I effect is nowhere near saturated. Please clarify.
Appologies. I should have said that my service provider was AT&T until mid-2003. Then I, and everyone else in my community that had AT&T, were switched over to Comcast.
I honestly couldn't say whether AT&T sold out my area to Comcast, or sold the whole internet division to Comcast. I was just happy to get a price break.
Good point. But without relaying my life story, I could instead say, I often work from home by connecting to my work computer. I don't own my own business or always work from home.
That said, is there business-class service for cable connections? I live too far away from the CLEC to get DSL.
They used to be AT&T until mid 2003. I've never had any issues with them, and I've been downloading lots of files, all of the time.
I work from home, and download large (several gigs apiece) drawings and presentations on a daily basis. One of my jobs is to proof them, and then send them on to the appropriate folks. So I would upload the same amount of data, just about.
I'm not sure how I would know that Comcast has issues with me, other than getting a letter. My service is extremely reliable, and I've never had a download or upload fail...

Ok, there could be something to this. But I'd bet the MS wouldn't allow their product names to be capitalized on.
I wonder what the licensing cost would be for all the MS product lines...
You could have a point there!
Hmmm... Maybe I should write my congressman...
(This and the previous post were meant as sarcasm, but the way)
Excellent. Thanks for the help!
Sheeeeit. We're just so confident that we give the land back after setting up puppet governments.
Why would we want to take over places like Cuba when we already have the US?
To be literal, is the software you recomend located at www.daemon-tools.cc?
I don't have a ton of experience, and don't want to start down the wrong path.

How is a Tivo different from an Xbox?
1. both use an OS
2. both use a mainboard
3. both use hard drives
etc, etc.
So this is a hack how?
This is the equivalent of every moron who reboots their PC saying they hacked it by turning it off and on.
Nope, that would be manufacturing, not hacking.

Hahaha! Good catch, actually. Should have read "I bought a relatively *inexpensive* 36" TV last year."
Sorry for the confusion.

"1) RJ's cock has been seen numerous times, and as we know, more availability of an item generally lowers its price."
Tell that to DaBeers. Diamonds are still priced as high as ever.
If you have something that big, you're certainly not getting a blowjo...Oh, a Hummer is a truck?
Nevermind.
Not if he's hung like a pencil...
Tell her that if she complains you're too small, she shouldn't have any problems with anal.

"Strap on kidney belt that uses a solenoid to punch you in the gut with every bass thump? (probably not)"
Hahahaha! *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHA!
One of us should patent that thing.
Man, that was good.
I'm wondering where the .1 is in 5.1. It's typically the discreet channel, widely known as the subwoofer channel.
How exactly do these earphones recreate that frequency range?
"or any other speaker than can handle the frequency range"
The original poster's point remains intact, to a degree, as does yours.
I'd be interested in hearing where you've seen them listed for $40. The lowest price I've seen thus far is ~$55.
You're all lucky.
