No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Doesn't look so, Jon. From the user manual:

  • Load an MP3/DivX/MPEG-4/JPEG disc. The DATA CD MENU appears on the TV screen.
  • Use ^ v to select a folder. Press OK to open the folder.
  • Press ^ v or use the numeric keypad (0-9) to highlight an option.
  • Press OK to confirm. Playback will start at the selected file and continue to the end of the folder.

Thanks. I may try to track down that Phillips one tonight.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thanks, ita.

I had the 642 appear in my Amazon Gold Box the other night, so it might be worth clicking through to see if it appears. I don't know how they rotate those items in and out of the selection, though.

I have an older model, the Philips 727, and it works similarly with the exception of no DivX playback. I love how it reads stuff in file folder format so you don't need to burn stuff to CD in VCD or other formats. Just stick the raw file on a disc and there you go.

BTW, Beverly, you can definitely hack the Cyberhome 300 with a few presses of the remote. It's one of the cheaper and readily available hackable players out there. VideoHelp.com has info.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I was just going to say, I've been looking everywhere for my gold box.

I know there's a joke in there somewhere.

Hey. New board.

It will take a better man than me to search it out.

I definitely still have a gold box. It's a tiny little box icon next to the "Sign Out" thing at the top.

I have a supid question. The person that creates new e-mail ids at my new job has been out, so I'm using the old person's e-mail till they can get my id created.

But, I thought I'd be all smart and change the name, so it still says it's coming from me. Where do you do that in Outlook? I can't find it, and it's making me crazy.

On mine, it is: Tools ==> Services

Then I select, Internet Email and Properties.

Huh. There is no "Services." I wonder if only the administrator can do it.
