I know you plug it into the cigarette lighter and the DEAD BATTERY powers it, but if the batteries dead then how the hell does it power anything. Does that thing convert small amounts of energy in large amounts or what? I cant figure it out.

I use my xbox360 as the extender for Windows Media Center (WMC) so I can view my photos, films from approved downloaded subscription sites like Vongo etc. and other media. But is there a way to have downloaded Divx films and other downloaded film formats streamed thru WMC to the xbox360 and thus my TV screen as well?

What the heck!? if it's 720x480, 720/480=3/2, so it's obviously a 3:2 aspect ratio, NOT a 4:3. 640x480 is 4:3.

so how can it be both 4:3 AND 720x480???

I will be the first to admit that I use a series of standard answers, but why do some people insist on giving the same freaking answer to EVERY QUESTION THEY RESPOND TO whether it makes any sense to use that answer or not?

I'm not talking about TomTom's "my suggestion" answer, either. He uses that when someone asks the ubiquitous "best camera" answer and - frankly - it's usually the most appropriate answer.

I'm talking about people who name their camera and all of its features when someone asks how to take a picture without shaking or if they can have fries with that order.

Why not use boilerplate answers when it makes sense and skip the question if you are going to just repeat the same drek whether it actually contributes anything or not?

I really ought to get some sleep.......

I played a movie thru my laptop and hooked up the audio thru my receiver. This is an old receiver w/ 2 speakers. The sound is good when playing CDs, but the sound is lousy when playing the movie. It kind of cracks when I increase the volume. Do you know what I need to do to fix the audio problem? I really don't need perfect sound, but just want a lot cleaner audio.

Thx!

I have my speakers placed in pretty good positions, now I just want to know the volume to set each speaker at? Should the center speaker be set higher to hear the dialogue better and the side speakers lower so the soundtrack doesn't over power?

Any advice?

I am looking for someone. Once was the time when I could look up a telephone number for free, but now there always seems to be some fee attached to the service. Can anyone out there tell me what website I can go to find a telephone number for free?

Please don't say it's dead--there must be something I can do to resuscitate it--maybe a new little tube? You could never see any lights on inside and when you turn it on and off there is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz silence...........am I screwed? My dish turns on fine.

I've been looking for some other PS3 games to buy, but I'm not sure which ones to buy. The only other PS3 games that I have even considered buying is Armored Core 4 or Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I don't really know anything about these games. I've heard that Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a pretty tough game, and I love hard games. And I know that in Armored core 4 you pilot these huge robots, but what else about these games? Next month I know that I'm getting Lair and Heavenly Sword, but should I purchase Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Amored Core 4, or should I wait until Lair and Heavenly Sword come out?
