I've got a 1.7GB iPod, purchased four months ago. I've found out that it is way too small to run all of my songs. I want to buy an mp3 player (and, occasionally, a music video player) that's at LEAST four times as large. I want it to have more bells-n-whistles than an iPod does. But I also...

I've been waiting 10 weeks for an order, and I'm frankly getting a little worried. I ordered Castles & Crusades, the first two books, using prepaid store credit. Every month or so, I email him, and he responds to every second or third email. Is there some crisis going on at his store? Is...

Some of you may know that my father is mostly blind. His sole sources of entertainment (outside of his extensive socializing--he goes out even more than me :) ) are listening to TV, and playing audio books and audio CDs. We've had bad luck with tape players and CD players, however. We've had...

I'd post this to NTL, but it's experiencing troubles at the moment. So here goes:

Last season, I got as far as the militant race taking over Atlantis (during the hurricane), and about the same point in SG1 (Replicator 5 and Replicarter escaping). I come back this season, and not only has SGC retaken Atlantis, but they've also established a 3-4 week ferry service from Earth...

I was watching Comedy Central, and an ad appeared saying that Thundercats season 1 was available for sale. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009IW8AI/qid=1124030407/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-9084997-4100025?v=glance&s=dvd Anyway, not sure who might be interested, but since I...

I wrote Talon a few days ago, and haven't heard back. Okay, that's not unusual, I admit. :D Still, I have some store credit, and I'm trying to pick up the Castles & Crusades books. So is Talon taking a vacation? I've looked at his website, and it looks like he's rebuilding it. That could...

Every time I visit, I click on a thread and get to exactly the same point each time. It doesn't update. Another dozen posts may have been added, and we may have gained a page or two, but I still end up at the exact same post. :( Is anyone else having this problem?

Twice, I messed up the recording for this show. So I won't get to see it until it hits reruns. Can I get some spoilers on what happened? I've watched all the JLU since the start, and I'd hate to miss some story arcs.

I'm designing a database for the local theater company. I'm not an expert designer, but considering what I'm charging them (nothing), they're getting a good bargain. :p So far, I've managed to lock up my first attempt with a poorly-designed macro. I managed to retrieve all the tables, queries...

I have a B.S. in applied mathematics. That means, while I like math, I'm not good at the theoretical stuff. But I want to be. Sure, it's been 12 years since I've taken a challenging math class (that's not bragging; what I mean is, I graduated 12 years ago), but I still wince every time I...

I get thirty minutes into a game, and suddenly it freezes up. I don't know why. :( I can't even Alt-F4 to get out, I have to do a hard reboot. Is this something that is common, and repairable? Or should I start saving often to recover from these crashes?

I bought a new computer about a month ago, and most things are okay (aside from not being able to play M.A.X.). However, the mouse is driving me insane. I've got an optical mouse, and it tends to skip suddenly to the corner of the screen. I don't know why, and I don't know how to stop it. Is...

I bought a computer only a couple of weeks ago. So I'm loading all my favorite games, including Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire. What's this? "Your CPU is not supported, crashes could occur." Dang it... So I click okay, and get an immediate crash to desktop. :( Anyone manage...

I've got the new computer, AND I've managed to connect my wireless router... So far, so good! :) No probl... <connection lost> :p

Can we set up a referral-type registration? Kind of like gmail? If you want to get added, have a friend who's already on ENWorld send you a referral, and then you can join by clicking the link. That ought to stop a lot of the spammers, who are just joining boards at random. (Of course...

Everyone who has a windows computer has, at some point, used the cheapo calculator that comes with it. I have, it's quicker than using the adding machine on my desk. But I want something better. (Sure, I can do the job in Excel...) So, does anyone know where I can download (and, if need be...

I made the mistake of bidding on a copy of Rome: Total War on eBay without reading all the text. To my horror, after paying for it, I realized that (1) it was a foreign import (but in English?), (2) it won't come with the manual or the box, and (3) I'm paying $8 S&H for the privilege. :( So...

Before I shell out $60+ on this (one of the last share-the-love discounts :( ), I want to know, is there much worth stealing from it? I don't want it for the sake of a campaign, but rather for memorable items: npcs, magic items, traps, treasure, stuff like that. I don't think it'll ship for...

I'm wracking my brain, trying to remember the lyrics to a song I've heard on the radio. It's a country ballad about leaving, and I think it's rather new. It's a particularly powerful and evocative piece, and I'm hoping to be able to pick it up off of iTunes. But I don't know the name of the...
