  1. DISAGREE VEHEMENTLY on Plasma or LCD? · · Score: 1
    If a little "noise" is what makes it look good, that is worth it. Having edges of pixels so sharp you can cut yourself on 'em does NOT a better picture make.

    And no, I don't know why I just started talking like Yoda.

  2. "standard" vga converters are UTTER CRAP on Plasma or LCD? · · Score: 1
    Try getting an ATI card with s-video (or DVI) out. You will find that you can read almost all the default-sized text on any webpage -- at 800x600. At 1024x768, it gets scaled to 800x600, and is much blurrier. But I have no problem doing anything at 800x600. My TV is getting older, the edges of the screen are a bit blurrier, sometimes I resize my window to use the middle 75% of the screen, and sometimes I highlight text with the mouse because white-on-blue is easier to read than certain color combinations that don't quite look as good on a CRT as a monitor.

    But I haven't had a monitor for years. I have a separate computer if I need to, say, look at photography images in great detail. I read email, do lots of websurfing, and do plenty of command-line stuff (4NT), cooledit, even photoshop (only for crop jobs, not for color adjustment/detail work!), play games. Oh, and I watch shows. HDTV AVIs look equivalent to paying a DVD with my PS2.

    I would prefer the DVI connector, but my TV doesn't have that ): So occasionally I have to open and close my refridgerator to eliminate some of the EM enterference. Damn you Monster Cable!

  3. exactly -- it's like anti-aliasing on Plasma or LCD? · · Score: 1

    really, each pixel on a CRT is 3 monochromatic pixels. Think "anti-aliasing". Standard TV looks like crap on every LCD/plasma I've seen. I prefer my 36' CRT. It has a few more scan lines than normal. Remember: The NTSC is a specification for the *signal*. You can throw 800x600 or 640x480 at the exact same TV, and it will look different. The *signal* can be any sort of resolution.

  4. you're a pussy on Secret Gov't Documents Will be Declassified 12/31 · · Score: 1

    Because it will never BE in a history book, if you are too much of a pussy to ever post about it in a non-anonymous way. I almost think you are a shill of some sorts, but I'm not sure of what your agenda may be.

  5. um..... on Secret Gov't Documents Will be Declassified 12/31 · · Score: 2, Informative
    A lot of us "conspiracy theorists" think that that's exactly what they did. Hire those terrorists. Bin Laden has been paid by the C.I.A. in the past, and the C.I.A. has not proven itself to be a trustworthy agency.

    I'm casting doubt on every Congress since I was born. Oh, you mean about the e-voting machines? I'm casting doubt on every Congress since 2000. :)

    P.S. Yes I know I just fed the troll.

  7. "if" the voters... on Former President Gerald Ford Dead at 93 · · Score: 1

    That's a big "if" considering, the unverifiability of the electronic voting machines used in the elections.

  8. WRONG. It's called inheritence. on Nobel Laureate Attacks Medical Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    The majority of rich people inherited their money and did nothing to get it. So what you said is not right..........

  9. Uh, it takes a lot less than that. on Nobel Laureate Attacks Medical Intellectual Property · · Score: 1
    Go read about the Nafta superhighway, and the many farmers who are having emminent domain used against them to help build a highway that goes from Mexico to Canada. It also creates border checks in Oklahoma -- Yes, we will be allowing people into our country and not even checking their vehicles til they are in *oklahoma*.

    The invasion has already started.....

  10. then why do they have to install new equipment? on First Cellphone Use On Airplane Given OK · · Score: 1

    If it's alwyas been allowed, then why do they have to install new equipment?

  11. You're a shill. on George Orwell Was Right — Security Cameras Get an Upgrade · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that having a cop spaced out every 10 feet wouldn't have a chilling effect on many freedoms?

  12. How did the people on 911 use cell phones? on First Cellphone Use On Airplane Given OK · · Score: 1

    How did the people on the hijacked 911 (2001) planes use cell phones, if they are only now putting the technology into planes to be able to use them in 2006?

  13. Ugh. on P2P - From Internet Scourge to Savior · · Score: 1

    Sorry to hear that. I still have to pay about the same... $92/mo for 3.0M/768k with static IPs. Ugh. Inside the d.c. beltway.

  15. SPEAKEASY = LYING ASSHOLES. on P2P - From Internet Scourge to Savior · · Score: 1
    Yes, they told me I could use 100percent of my bandwidth too. Here are the screenshots of the presales chat: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/speakeasy

    Ultimately, they terminated me for downloading more than 100G a month,and I had to find a new provider, and pay several hundred dollars in startup fees. They also tried to bribe me into silence with the $300 early termination fee.

  16. Re:Thank you. on EMI Experiments With DRM-free MP3's · · Score: 1

    it's consistant with the rest of my psotings on my sight :)

  17. No, actually. on Gods, Assassins, and Dragons · · Score: 1

    The term assassin stems from "hashassin". It's true. It sounds stupid, but it's true. While pot is not physically addictive, and the use of the word "addicts" is circumspect, he's still closer to the truth than your apostrophe-less denial.

  18. my REMOTE CONTROL boots up on Why Do Computers Take So Long to Boot Up? · · Score: 1

    Seriously. Home Theatre MX-500. Put batteries in, and a "little man" runs across the bottom as it goes through a POST.
    My Win2K box takes at least 10 minutes to reboot.

  19. McCain's father is a traitor on Bill Would Extend Online Obscenity Laws to Blogs, Mailing Lists · · Score: 1

    who helped suppress news about the Isreal attack on the U.S.S. Liberty in 1956(?). His dad helped the cover-up. But you can read about it on wikipedia, and it's very truthy.

  20. just burn twice on How To Choose Archival CD/DVD Media · · Score: 1
    I burn everything to TWO dvd-rs. I also use RAR to add 8 percent parity data..... so in theory even if the disc is only 92% readable, parity will be able to regenerate the missing data. But more likely than that is I would simply mosey on down to my 2nd copy, (and burn a 3rd copy to keep "two working copies").

  21. chronic pain - a BIG PROBLEM - dr's charged on Sea Snail Toxin Offers Promise For Pain · · Score: 1
    The D.E.A. has been making it a new habit to charge doctors who prescript painkillers with *MURDER* when they overdose. This is happening all over the country. People in high chronic pain are ABSOLUTELY UNABLE to receive the dosages they made, because of a few bad apples (Rush Limbaugh, anyone?).

    I pray that the congressman who are responsible for the D.E.A. doing this have the most intense chronic pain for the last 20 years of their lives, and have no recourse to stop it. They've made their own bed.

    Read more about it on http://www.drcnet.org/ among other places.

    The D.E.A. is not supposed to make medical decisions. You, the voter, let this happen. And if there is any justice: You, the voter, will feel intense chronic pain for supporting this (note: comment applies only to those who voted for those who caused this to happen -- mostly republicans.)

    Even back then, NOBODY programmed by typing "0 1 0 1 1 1 0". Typically it would be assembler, or at least hex, where a single keystroke is equivalent to 4 bits.
