  1. Denon on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    I am also an owner of a 36 inch sony tv, wega in my case. I have been doing a lot of research recently into upgrading my system and was looking in about the same price range.
    For a reciever I would reccomend Denon. They make some of the best gear per dollar. Just check out thier feature sets at any price. The only thing to make sure of is that you get their 32bit sharc processors. That will ensure high quality audio.
    For speakers I would reccomend B&W, which I saw someone else reccomend earlier. I auditioned Dynaudio and B&W pretty seriously, and decided on the B&W's. Like the Denon, this brand offers great value. Anything in the 600 line will work, I settled on the 603's.
    Hope this helps.

  3. It's not about what you learn in class. on Techies Saying No To College · · Score: 1

    It's about gaining life experience. My degree was in journalism, but with a cs minor. I am now a software engineer.
    We hired a developer who skipped college and was 19 years old. While his technical knowledge was vast, his abilty to synthesize information was nill. He is no longer with us. We hired someone who was 27 and just learning how to write code instead.
    School is a great way to grow up and learn how to be a more complete person. I admit I really didn't learn shit in school. But I learned a lot outside of class that I wouldn't trade for anything.
    I don't really understand why everyone is in a rush to get paid. If you are smart and slightly motivated, the money will be there. School is a great time to just mess around and have fun before you have to commit to working everyday. When else do you have absolutely no responsiblity?
    So I say go to school if you can, you won't regret it after you are done.
