    I have The Karate Kid on Blu-ray – how can that be being released this week….maybe a slightly different set of bonus features?

    I’m not sure if that was sarcasm or not.  You did catch that they remade the original, right?  The one with Ralph Macchio was already release earlier this year, but this one is with Jaden Smith (Will Smith’s son) and Jackie Chan.  Although, maybe we’d all be better off if we didn’t know about the remake.  😉

    Where did you get your NIC drivers from?  Windows Update upgraded my Atheros drivers one time and I lost all reliability in my connection  I had to use a different computer to find the chipmaker’s drivers and install them over the Windows ones.  Just saying that you might want to try drivers from a different source, if you haven’t already.

    There are news readers and there are forum posters. I tend to come most for answers to my issues and see what other issue people are running into.[/quote]

    Understandable.  We’ll need to get some more compelling content to draw you in then.  😉  That’s why I was asking, so thank you for indulging me!

    [quote]I check the home page every couple days but was the post only on the side or was it listed as news in addition to being on the side. I don’t pay much attention to the side bar.[/quote]

    It was only posted on the side.  Personally, I wanted something posted on the front page as well, but it wasn’t my poll.  ;D  Then again, if you don’t visit the home page very often, that might not have changed anything.  😛  j/k

    [quote]And I did find the Newegg ad but it is kind of buried. I’d suggest a link up top to take us to a page listing all the vendors.[/quote]

    I brought that up once, too.  I think Mike once said that he didn’t want to be pushing those links too hard.

    [quote]As far as news items and polls how hard would it be to get a daily dump of links in an email. And/or is there an RSS feed? I have Dailytech’s feed setup in outlook so I can see new items as they come in.

    I don’t think there’s currently a way for a daily email, other than the thread subscription option.  However, I get the RSS feeds on my phone.

    I just checked and Newegg’s still there.  Going down the right side of the home page, there’s the QNAP review, an “interests” box, followed by the Amazon search box, then another “interests” box, followed by the Newegg link.

    Do you have NoScript of ABP installed?  If so, in NS, you need to unblock Newegg and any other ad domains you want to be able to see.  In ABP, you’d need to “disable on missingremote.com”.

    On a related note, do you not find the front page news interesting?  Or, is there another reason you skip to the unread posts, such as a lack of time?  It’d be interesting to have this kind of info from our visitors.

    I’ve never used MC, in any form, so I can’t offer any opinion.  But, I know that when I started looking to build an HTPC, MC never entered the picture, due to what I was reading about it.  (At this point, I don’t recall what that was.)

    I just read that Starz is [url=http://theclicker.todayshow.com/_news/2010/10/04/5229244-starz-to-recast-for-spartacus]recasting the role[/url] of Spartacus.  As the comments over there say, those are some big shoes to fill.  I’m willing to give it a chance, though.

    in reply to: Re: GeekTonic Checks TV Series` Pulse #1308

    I don’t see Fringe going anywhere either.  The ratings have been pretty consistently high, if I recall correctly.

    I also watched the second episode of $#!& My Dad Says and think it was even funnier in the 2nd episode.  But, it’s not a show which I’d be upset if it were canceled.  Then again, not too many WOULD upset me.

    btw…anyone else amused that 2 of our most avid forum members, Meester and Jennyfur both missed the poll?!?!

    okok, so no excuses…everyone knows there’s a new Blu-ray poll on the homepage now, right? 🙂

    [/quote]

    It was only up for a week.  I think the results may have gone more toward MC if it had been up for a month or so.  I voted in the new poll already, too.
