Re: Anybody here hacked an AppleTV (rev 3) to add Perian? - 2 days ago

I was watching my ripped movies before the ATV so I've never actually SEEN Front Row. The fact that I had all my stuff ripped already before the ATV came out was the main reason why I never switched to it. At the time, they would ONLY play stuff that could be played in iTunes. And none of my stuff was playable in iTunes. I should also say that I use a little app called Playback on my Mac that

I'm not familiar with that box at all, though. I have three of them that access several TB of movies and TV shows over my network. There's pretty much nothing they won't play. How's the interface? Wife-friendly?

They could have a previously unseen villain do some time travel jiggery pockery and disrupt the Enterprise timeline that we're all familiar with THEN continue on with NEW people. Problem solved!

Re: Car shopping - 3 days ago

Quotedmann I have an 07 CR-V and drive about 20-23,000 miles/year as I cover 4 states for work, all by car. I live in Chicago, so I know something about traffic. I absolutely love it. Would buy another one in a heartbeat. The OEM tires were total crap and needed replacing at 17,000 miles. Upgraded to a much better tire and the noise level, ride and handling improved dramatically. I also li

Re: Car shopping - 3 days ago

We have an 04 CRV which I hate. It's fine for the wife to tool around town with the kid. It's just big enough for 4 adults. But the driving position is horrendous. The pedal well is such that i cannot stretch out my left leg so it get really uncomfortable on long drives. However my big beef with the CRV is the road noise. MY GOD! I cannot even turn the stereo up loud enough to drown it out. Terri

No. Definitely not overnight. Just 8 - 5. While the missus and I are at work. We found a nice camp that is 8:30 to 5:30 with indoor and outdoor activities and a different "theme" each week. The big plus with this one though is she has swimming for an hour everyday. She loves swimming so this would be a giant hit with her.
