There are plenty of titles. I'm just not happy with the hardware that plays them. cavete terrae.

I'm a home theatre salesman and installer, I'm welllll aware of all these. I've probably got more time using them than most of the people who own them. I've actually spent several hours in front of an HD-DVD and a Blu-Ray setup on various 1080p displays, and while both are good, I don't find either to be worth the cash at the moment. While a direct-view panel will buffer the frames in such a manner to make a 1080i signal appear to be quasi-progressive, I don't think the image quality is really there yet. There are still noticeable compression artifacts for both formats (not to mention neither are truly 1080p with current players), and the Toshiba hardware is crashy. cavete terrae.

Some do... have all three I have #3, I'll get #1 in a few weeks, but in my opinion #2 doesn't exist yet, except when you're using it as a computer display. cavete terrae.

1080p is great, if you have a TV that can support it, a good source for it, and you have good eyes to tell the difference. Most people don't have any of the three. cavete terrae.

You'd be right, if you weren't completely wrong. A current-generation plasma is usually LESS expensive than an LCD of similar size and brand, and will generally have a higher picture quality. As for the longevity, it's claimed that a current gen plasma will have a half life of approximately 60,000 hours, compared to the 40-50,000 hours out of an LCD panel. LCoS and LCD projection aren't bad, but do keep in mind you'll need to replace the bulb every 8,000 hours or so, which equates to about 3 years, often less, for most Americans. DLP is the bottom shelf in terms of picture quality typically. That's not to say they're actually bad, just that pretty much everything else is better. Michele: That having been said, if the room the TV will go into has a light of large light sources, such as large windows or something along those lines, you may experience glare issues with a plasma display. If you can go plasma, I suggest Samsung panels if you don't want to shell out for a Pioneer display. Panasonics are good, IF you are willing to have someone calibrate it. Their out of the box settings are abysmal. If you cannot go plasma, then you might want to consider an LCD panel instead. The 40" 720p Samsung that the above poster referred to is a fantastic display. The 46" isn't quite as good in terms of image quality, for whatever reason. LCDs do also have the downside that if the children mentioned before are rowdy, they are easier to damage than a plasma, due to the physical characteristics of the displays. If you have any more questions, PM me or whatever. cavete terrae.

More importantly, under a week from today I'm going to grab some Oporto for lunch, and then go to the beach and enjoy the sun cavete terrae.

Maximum number of skydivers have you seen in a Cessna 182?

I've been the only person on a 206 once, that was interesting cavete terrae. -

Most I've personally seen is 4 I think. There's nothing comfy about that shit when you're my size. cavete terrae. -
Workin' on it. A trophy wife is my only hope. cavete terrae.

YOu'll note I didn't say "this is the woman I plan on sticking my dick in tomorrow", it's about near-perfection I can't get that kind of woman no matter what I shave, trim, or exercise, unless I have a ferociously large bank account. Or unless she's one of the six women who really DOES care more about a sense of humour than looks cavete terrae.

That sums it up pretty well. Insofar as I can tell, all women hate attractive women. Other attractive women hate them because they are competition. Average women hate them because guys will typically go for the hotter ones. Unattractive women hate them because, well... yeah. Remember, ladies: Cattiness is NOT hot. cavete terrae.

I bet Suds could find something. lol I didn't say there's "nothing", I said there's "not much" :) I'd take her up to a large B cup or a small C, and I'm sure if I sat and thought about it I'd tweak a bit more. You coming to dinner on Wednesday? cavete terrae.

I'm telling ya man, she wouldn't walk right for weeks.... mainly because I'd have to break her legs so she couldn't run. cavete terrae.

Don't click if a chick in a bikini might get you in trouble. But seriously, there's not much you can do to improve on this: http://spiceweasel.net/nikkiwhelan.jpg Now, who's got her address and some chloroform? cavete terrae.

you think that's bad? I'm going to buy a ZZR250, and my dad's buying... ...a Ducati 999 cavete terrae.

Just like a divorce, expensive because they're worth it cavete terrae.

It'll end up about 85/15 I bet, in favour of autotragic. cavete terrae.

Ham is a breakfast food See above for my thoughts on stuffing. In all honesty the idea of turkey without stuffing doesn't occur to me, I just consider it to be included cavete terrae.
-
Stuffing is an accessory, and I'm not a big fan of it anyway. Green bean cassarole makes my stomach do flip flops. The bad ones. cavete terrae.

Turkey Mashed potato (gravy too, but that's an accessory, not a food) Candied yams Bread Apple pie The rest is just in the damned way of the good stuff cavete terrae.

Well she can't likely run away, like most of your conquests. cavete terrae.

I'd have a hard time caring less about any celebrity, especially when they're self-righteous twats. cavete terrae.

So I guess you don't support my shooting sprees at nursing homes the 2nd weekend of December every year? Screw you buddy, we all celebrate in our own way! cavete terrae.

I'm going to make a Bonsai Hannukah Bush next year, I think. cavete terrae.
