Blake, have you been able to view this television firsthand?

A review of Mitsubishi's WL-82913. Grab a tissue first to wipe up the forthcoming drool. _________________ Sound & Vision Online Equipment Reports Mitsubishi 82-inch Rear-Projection HDTV By David Katzmaier "The manual puts it plainly enough: “The WL-82913 is currently the largest...

Thanks for the link Fushigi; nice updated material.

Thanks.

Okay, I now have some updated information that should help clear things up. First of all, as far as I can tell, I was wrong, the receiver/amplifier seems to be just Dolby Pro Logic Surround. Here are the components that I have: Receiver/Amplifier: Technics SA-GX690P-K Disc Changer: SL-PD887...

"This chip allows us to access the mainstream market," said Andy Mills, NetCell's chief executive. Well, then let's see something!

Thanks for the tip fool, I'll keep that in mind. Now that I've lost some weight, I don't have to worry as much if the wood seat will break or not. :D

[mind wanders] Ouch, splinters. [/mind wandering]

By the way Tannin, your present avatar is very nice. That is a very austere and regal pose for that bird of prey.

No kidding. Having 6 speakers presently is "cool" but finding room to place them is a pain (I wouldn't want more). At least everything on the back of my components is nicely marked so I don't need the manuals to figure out my connections. Even the special sychronization of connectors between...

Hoolie Doolie! I just realized that Ballarat is 19 hours ahead of me! Here I am figuring out what I should eat for lunch, and Tony isn't even up for breakfast.

My system does support Pro Logic II which does derive 5 channel sound unlike regular Pro Logic. I played some new DVDs this week, like Star Trek II and Star Wars, the cheap KLH rear speakers worked fabulously. I can increase there sound separately from the front left/right and center.

Why do the rear speakers matter little?

Sorry about that, I'll get back to you with details, but I can say that all of the components so far are about 8 year old Technics stuff.

Talk with a proctologist, he'll get you a scope used for colonoscopies. :eekers:

I live in Southern California (Orange County). The condo complex I'm in is brand new (other phases are still under construction so I can see how my place went together). The ceiling is a combination of engineered lumber and steel framing. Plus, every single source of air or heat has been...

Good to know ddr. I've heard of similar experiences, with drives being used in environments out of specification. However, I do know of drives not working in desktop systems above 10,000 feet in South America. Strange place to use a PC, but I suppose the drug lords need to surf the web too. :D

Blankets are nice untill you need to use the toilet. Heated toilet seat, ah, that would be nice. :) For USB controlled home automation, check out what SmartHome has.

Here is what I was talking about from Honeywell.

Honeywell makes a relatively inexpensive programmable thermostat. It is limited to two time intervals, and the same program would be used on every day of the week. So, for example, you could set the evening temperature (10pm to 6am) to 55F and then set a day-time temperature (6am to 10pm) at...

Anyway, in my new house, the temperature has not dropped below 69F and has not gone above 72F -- I'm not using the heater. The outside temperature has ranged from 40F at night to 75F during the day. These new-fangled attached homes are really well protected from the elements.

ATA drives have an operating temperature limitation of 5C to 55C (41F to 131F) and a non-operating range of -40C to 65C (-40F to 149F). I'm not sure what the exact limitations are for your SCSI drives. ATA drives are usually limited to a maximum operating thermal gradient of 20C/hour and a...

Thanks for the link to Belkin. This is primarily geared towards movies and music. Budget-wise, I could spend $250.00 on the two speakers if necessary.

Do you have any examples?

My quest is for wireless Dolby Surround Sound speakers (5.1). Specifically for the rear left and right channels. This expedition has been very difficult. When I find companies that deal with nice audio equipment, they tell me that wireless audio has not advanced enough to provide decent sound...

I would much appreciate it.

Besides writing his great novel, it will take Tony days to try and catch up with the many threads we've started during his absence. I wonder if Handy could get some stats on just how many threads and posts there have been since the old man went on his journey.

Don't you feel better for being right about being confused? :eekers:

Welcome back Tony, I figured you'd be away until next year.

Nice one i. Bummer for the Samoans in Hawaii. The father usually stays seated as his 10 children go and fill plates of food for him.

Beware dial-up users, there are frames and images!

I recently updated my personal website too. It is not completed yet, but most of the functionality and some of the content are available. mittelsman.net

Indeed ddr.

Just speak French, isn't that the second language of the world?

I resemble that remark! :erm:

By the way, the ATA/ATAPI standards has not used the Master/Slave nomenclature for a while, it has been Device 0, Device 1, etc.

Congratulations JoJo! Welcome back Sol, you've been missed.

At least go to Ballarat and take a picture of the shop for us. Snap a few photos of the employees too. Once Tony gets back early next year, Kristi will have turned that place into her shop, and he won't be needed anymore.

Ah, yes, I install the Java client from Sun on my systems.

I dont' recall seeing that. I'll have to install it again.

Indeed there will. I saw a combination of a future Windows release (beyond Longhorn) with a future Microsoft map software. Everything was very graphic oriented. The combination of translucent, semi-translucent, and solid layers plus 3-D modeling really becomes system intensive.

Open Office :D

Interesting snippet from the world wide wiggle: System Boards As with many aspects of computers and computing, large organizations are apt to apply their own nomenclature to things. IBM developed its own name for the board that held the principal circuitry of its entire line of personal...

Wow, thanks Mark.

This is for a guy who knows some HTML and nothing about hosting web content - he wants to learn.

I got this order through a friend, and here is what I wrote:
