    Opera 9.1 with fraud protection

    Just thought I'd mention to those of you who haven't noticed yet - Opera 9.1 is out, and the best just got better. Now you even have (optional!) fraud protection built-in to the browser. Just click a questionmark next to the site address and you can get info about whether or not it has been...

    Windows Media Player 11 shreds your rights

    Thinking about upgrading to Windows Media 11? If you've bought some DRM:ed stuff to play on media player... remember how you used to be able to take backups of your "licenses"? Well, that's history now. Hard drive goes bad? Computer flames out for some reason? Poof. There went the music...

    Opera 8.5 - now not only free but ad-free browser!

    Opera 8.5, the latest incarnation of what I personally believe is the best and safest browser out there, is now completely free to use. The previous version was also free but had an ad window in the interface if you did not pay for a license. Get it at: http://www.opera.com This version is...

    Opera 8 released!

    Version 8 of the Opera web browser is available, for those of you who haven't spotted that yet. I'm using it to write this and it works very well indeed. A good thing I've already spotted is that it can use the full version of the GMail web mail site, which I appreciate, so there has no doubt...

    Gallo Micros - need actual listener opinions

    So far I've read nothing but positive news about the Gallos, but I wanted to ask if anyone here has had any experience with these coupled with a good sub (either Gallos own or some other brand). I'm currently using B&W speakers all round and am generally quite happy, except that all the black...

    "Tweaks" forum in Hardware section issue

    I'm looking for a little clarification on the rules for the new Tweaks forum in the Hardware section. The rules as stated on the forum page pretty much sounds to me like "Anything people post here may not be disagreed with". Personally I don't care that much about the whole area, to be...

    Why no polling functionality?

    The "vote here" thread has got to be a very unwieldy way of doing things. vBulletin has a poll feature where you can enter multiple choice etc - I've seen it in use over at AVSForum among others. Why isn't that feature here and wouldn't it have made more sense to use that functionality to do...

    Saw Armageddon... can still taste the bile

    Could they have fouled up more of the physics in space especially on this movie if they had tried? I mean, they didn't get one thing out of every 10 anywhere near correct. Whoever wrote it and created the effects should be fined for setting back the science of spaceflight in movies to the...

    Opera 6.0 - the best just got better

    Got an email mentioning that Opera 6.0 was out (in beta 1 form) and downloaded it of course. So far I love it. They've further refined the good stuff and added things that were missing. I love having separate search fields up all the time ready to do a search, for example. I have one text...

    Vertical "bands of light' on direct view TV?

    I moved a while ago and here in the new place, my direct view TV is displaying a highly annoying characteristic; two bands of increased brightness vertically placed on the screen. It's a 32 inch widescreen model, and the bands are located on both sides of the screen, somewhat lopsided to the...

    "Stakeout" & "Another Stakeout"

    I would like to be able to add the movies "Stakeout" and "Another Stakeout" to my collection. I think Dreyfuss and Estevez are hilarious in these. Not sure what studio/distributor has these but... let's get some nice OAR versions of these out on disc! ------------------ /Kimmo

    Shape of subwoofer - important?

    Provided you get the proper internal volume to a DIY sub, how important is the shape of it? I'm talking about a traditional square sub from MDF. Can you make it long, wide and flat or should it be more square in design to get the best results out of it? Presumably a sub with larger/longer...

    Driver specs vs application questions

    After seeing the choices available in subs and the costs, I started thinking about building my own. I pretty much have figured out what I'm going to build: a sealed sub12 or 15 inch driver (probably 15... I want it to dig deep!)accurate bass rather than "boomy", ie better for music than...
