      this list is seriously scary when i think about the little amount of free time i have yet all of the shows i have to watch 😛

      Btw Skirge….you seriously didn’t like MOdern Family?>???

      What do you guys think about Outsourced, which starts 9/23. I’ve seen the previews and it looks like it has potential. I’m a bit biased having worked with some outsource companies before, but still….i’m open to it.

      When’s “The IT Crowd” coming to the states?!?!

          Crim, have you used Boxee? There’s SOOO much more to it than just movies. they have so many different offerings as robinhoody mentions, PLUS one of my favorite traits is the auto-fetching music information.

              i thought the sports issue would kill me when i cut the cord (well, i still have basic cable), but thanks to ESPN3 i’ve pretty much been able to manage. Quality is definitely not as good as HD, but it’s still pretty solid.

                  did you hear that you can now buy the Sunday Ticket for online access only (but for the same cost)? Only downside of course being that those online games are *not* in HD…but hey, it’s moving in the right direction at least

                    ok…so i might be alone here…but i remember when i first saw the “special additions” that had like the extra Jabba scenes with Han for example, i honestly didn’t care much for it. Seeing hte new CGI on such a classic just felt wrong. I’ll still watch this new one i’m sure, but yeah….just feels a bit odd to me. im sure i’m in the minority here

                      it wasn’t even as cheesy as Clash was it? i literally haven’t seen it in ages, hopefully i’ll get my hands on the BD

                        are people still big fans of the LCD on the front?

                          yeah, the “fling” idea has been around Boxee for quite some time. I’m curious what major deals Google has in the works on this. Hulu is owned actually by several major studios (NBC for sure), so as you mentioned, unless Google promises large $$$ it’s hard to see them complying

                            Yes, drivers can cause what you’re seeing. especially if the BIOS and bootup screen are just perfectly fine. Ugadata is spot on with his advice. and once you’re in, you can roll back the driver (and honestly, you can reboot as well and then reinstall the same driver, and everything will probably be ok).

                            I’ve had weird issues when i do bulk updates on a system and don’t reboot between each significant one.

                                hopefully y’all saw the Fandango Visa Signatures deal for B1G1 free coupon over at Slickdeals.net

                                not on my plans to go see….it’s tough to justify paying to watch a movie outside when i just paid a lot to make my own home theater nice 🙂 that being said, the movie does look pretty good….except for Randy Couture…dude can fight, but terrible actor

                                Terrible actor?  While that wouldn’t surprise me, what movies have you seen him in?  I wasn’t even aware he’d been in other movies.

                                love the guy as a fighter. seen him in: Redbelt, Scorpion King, and then one other “fighting” movie that had a bunch of even worse MMA guys (like GSP, Penn) but don’t remember the awful title 😛 But yeah, haven’t seen Expendables yet…but just saying…he hasn’t sold me thus far as an actor.

                                  hrmmm…..didn’t even consider a change of NIC…sounds like a review/blog topic worthy of all that free time 😛 very cool though, good to know yet another reason to upgrade
