Building Cheap 100 Inch TVs

Nastar writes "If you visit eBay and such places there are guys selling 'kits' so that you can easily build your own 100 inch projection screen. There are websites such as 100InchTV selling the instructions for around $10 a pop. They say "this is the only product of this kind on the web" and "it is now possible to convert any type of television or computer monitor into a 100 inch video system that's truly amazing!". I don't like the idea of these people selling this information, especially when you can get it free from the good people at BSTV BSTV. Ihaven't built mine yet, but the reports of quality differ from so-so to fantastic! I suppose it depends on perfecting the technique involved. "

    Did you ever wonder what is it that makes the anus of a youth so exciting? Well, according to my research, it's a combination of the inherent tightness of an untouched sphincter, plus the simple thrill of doing the taboo. According to NAMBLA member Roy Wallace of Sarasota, Florida, the thrill is best achieved when you penetrate the boy in front of a mirror, "so you can see the his face just light up as you tear into him." I'll just have to take your word for it, Roy! Kiddie sex is wrong! Until next time, folks!

    Normally, I'd expect my Spam Filter to save me from reading this type of crap. Instead, it's on the front page of Slashdot.


    To recap: this is a (bad) idea that's been around for decades. If you want a big, dark, low resolution picture, this is the way to go.
