This forced upgrade to a technology with a terrible, inherent flaw (tearing and lagging from any significant motion, even with the best, most current technology) is unacceptable. When they wise up and replace LCD/plasma with viable technology, I'll be on board but until then, to hell with this cheaply done forced upgrade crap to appease people who like shiny new things.
The issue isn't the tv technology, it's your nearby broadcasting station. I actually saw the exact opposite. I never could get a few channels (huge name ones at that, like ABC) in chicago on SD. Once we got our HDTV we got perfect crystal clear HD signal in 1080 on just an old shitty pair of bunny ears from the SDtv, including channels I never could get before, as well as ones I didn't even know existed. And that was in a basement apt. Once the stations go full power on the digital channels the tearing issue you complain about won't be an issue.
You're going to power a dual core processor and a 9800 gt graphics card along with all the other hardware on a 300 watt PSU? Riiiight. Good luck getting it to run stable. Any graphics card alone passed the 7800 mark (for nvidia) tends to require a 500W PSU or greater, not including all the other gear. Green and gaming are inherently counter to each other. Gaming wants more power and more speed at the expense of cooling and energy usage. Green is the exact opposite. A Green Gaming Machine (aside from attaching green LEDs on the case) is an oximoron.
It's a great off-road vehicle, reliable and rugged.
Not if you are my brother. In the army he blew up 3. Literally. Fire and all. Without enemy interference. One was a prototype. Another one he almost dropped off of a mountain side...
In case anyone else was wondering, a music locker isn't a gym locker that plays music when you open it.
One example may be music lockering services, which permit users to upload files to a remote computer server and stream that music to a personal device over the Internet.
But do you know why that is? It tends to be nurture rather than nature. Girls are programmed by their family and society at an early age to like those things. Boys get blue, girls get pink. Boys get trucks, girls get dolls. I have two nieces. Know what they get from me? Green, yellow, and orange things. Neither of them really seem to like dolls. Stuffed animals are pretty gender neutral though. Honestly it is a matter of what you are predisposed to like naturally (from parents' genes) as well as family upbringing (from parents' upbringings). Society just tends to deem girls with pink and dolls and soaps and candles as more acceptable than girls with trucks and overalls and greasy wrenches. It kind of annoys me but I'm not about to go on a crusade over it.
About 4 years have elapsed after the last episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise". Since that episode, no new television shows nor full-screen movies have appeared.

and they see the power of porn in general on the net, and they are frightened by it.
Apparently you've never seen tv commercials after 10pm in Germany...
I've seen some hardcore porn here in America that those commercials put to shame.

Actually the women were the traders, the men were the slaves. -1 geek point deduction.
According to the article her pathologist gave her the slides for the class project.
How the hell did she pull that off? I can't even get my dentist to photocopy the xrays of my teeth for me to take home.

Yeah, I just upgraded to .mkv from tpb. Saves me the hassle of yet another clunky box under my tv and repurchasing every movie I already own.
You'll have to settle for lesser rape games like I did. :(
Molestation games?

There is no such thing as a truly "American" or "Japanese" car anymore.
That's funny, my 2005 Scion tC was purchased with a sticker on it that said "100% Japanese parts, 100% Japanese made."

Might want to proofread it first... /grammar nazi

I dunno, I'm stumped.

...except that it was illegal to record shows onto VHS.
...except that it wasn't. Not for VHS, not for betamax, not for DVR's, not for computers.
Steve Jobs sure is pants but it's about as unexpected as this pun on slashdot.
It's not illegal to download a show that was nationally televised and that could have been recorded legally to VHS.
Even after pleading guilty there is still a trial to prove your guilt. Confessions can be coerced. etc.

Out of state shopping? check
DVDs? check

Now if TPB would just figure out how to let me download junk food I'll be all set.
I believe the fifth amendment would disagree with you.
Whenever you make these broad generalizations, there's always going to be the fringe outsiders offended by the stereotype.
Hey now, let's try to keep this civil... /fringe outsider
