    Pub biatches!

    I'm there.. nobody talks... I see how it is cavete terrae.
  3. Is a 100° day really a lot faster than a 60° day, or is it a one of those "significant in terms of numbers, but real-world flying isn't affected too much" sort of thing? cavete terrae.
  4. Absolutely! Need to leave for the car dealership in about 2 hours, and I'm basically done. Need to pack my carryon, and pack the computer. That's it. cavete terrae.
  5. I was hoping it'd take at least an hour for you to see that cavete terrae.
  6. When you're coming back from a soccer event in college and you want to speed in nebraska... don't. Don't date the coworker when you're 22. Start skydiving sooner, fuck computers. cavete terrae.
  7. Don't ask Frenchy cavete terrae.
  8. In 6 hours, I'm supposed to drive to the car dealership and sign my car over to them, then go to the airport and leave the country. I haven't cleaned out the car yet, and I'm still packing. Procrastinators unite! cavete terrae.
  9. It gives me a little bit of hope for humanity. cavete terrae.
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?eurl=&v=BWP2WPuo70Y cavete terrae.
  11. http://break.com/index/mcdonalds_drive_through_rap.html cavete terrae.
  12. Shit, you beat me to it. cavete terrae.
  13. Wanna bet? Go look at the specs. The physical size of the display does NOT dictate the resolution, unless you're making the utterly incorrect assumption that all pixels are the same size. You can buy a 2560 x 1600 30" panel if you're willing to spend the money. Is there anything else you want me to prove you wrong about, or can we call it a day? cavete terrae.
  14. I hated pretty much everything about CubeZelda, including the animation style. cavete terrae.
  15. It's the only reason I'm getting a Wii cavete terrae.
  16. BZZZZt THe 37D90U is in fact a 1080p panel. As for DVI vs HDMI... they're the same thing in terms of video. The only difference is that HDMI can carry audio, DVI cannot. The connector is physically different for that reason, but there are adapters. If you'd like to see one, look behind my computer (assuming DVI-D, not DVI-A, which is the bastard child of video connectors) cavete terrae.
  17. The supply on both of them is shitty, but at least Sony has an excuse. Their processor is hard to make, and there aren't many diodes out there for the optical drive. Nintendo's using old tech, there's NO excuse for the shortages. I'm planning on picking one up for the Australian launch with a copy of Zelda, and if I can't get one, I'm going to be highly annoyed. cavete terrae.
  18. http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2006/20061113.jpg This sums it up nicely. Furthermore, good fucking luck getting one in the first place, the supply line sucks. cavete terrae.
  19. I'm not an expert, but I've always been a fan of Panasonic products. Sony is good too, but you tend to get less for the money. If you take your dad to a "real" audio-video shop, the sales folks may lend a better hand. Sony does not sell consumer plasmas. cavete terrae.
  20. Best: Pioneer Second best: Samsung or Panasonic. If you get the Panasonic, make sure someone is going to calibrate it. Third best: Philips, LG Don't bother with anything else. cavete terrae.
  21. First off: 7-10 years out of a bulb? Sure, if you watch about 2 hours a day. 8,000 hours is the expected bulb life. Second: Plasmas do not need "recharging", ever. They will reach their half life of brightness in about 60,000 hours of use. Third: Burn-in isn't exactly easy to do these days, most displays worth buying have built in protection against it. Fourth: Sony does not sell consumer plasma displays. None of the above points are subjective, you are just flat out wrong. cavete terrae.
  22. Salesman who doesn't work on commission, and has nothing to gain, and hates everyone to the point of brutal honesty on all things. cavete terrae.
