  2. Re:I believe it on 50% of HDTV Owners Don't Use HD · · Score: 0
    Higher resolution doesn't make these shows better, better scripts do.

    For most channels that's correct but when you tune into channels like Discover HD or INHD the difference is astounding. These HD channels show a lot of nature documentaries that will blow your mind on an HDTV. I watched a show about the Himalays once that actually made me feel dizzy from the altitude. Even though you don't watch sports, I starting watching more baseball and football because with HD, you feel like you're right there in the stadium.

  3. Re:Do many people *really* care about HDTV on 50% of HDTV Owners Don't Use HD · · Score: 1, Funny
    but does anyone really care enough about HDTV to fork out huge wads of cash on a new set?

    Damn right I do. HDTV is so much better that I've quit watching any non high definition channels and I will never buy another non-HDTV set. In fact, the prices on some small HDTV LCD sets are coming down to the point that I may start replacing all my 4 or 5 tvs with HDTVs.

    Yes, it is. Liberals have been running this country for decades and you wonder why now we're having an education crisis, you wonder why we don't have enough red blooded Americans to become doctors and engineers. They have poisoned the country that I love and are a pollution. My blood is maine maple syrup and my semen is texas oil. Support the troops.

    Thank you for your comments Mr Duke.

  15. Re:Sorry But on Florida DUI Law and Open Source · · Score: 0
    Let me assure you I'm not happy with drunk drivers or any lawbreaker getting off, but it would be much worse for an innocent person to be found guilty.

    That sounds arguable. Is it worse for an innocent person to be found guilty or a drunk driver getting off and going out driving again, possibly killing someone? Is it imperative that every case be thrown out on any possible technicality? Does a single undotted i make a criminal conviction unjust?

    Not in my opinion.

    I still can not understand why the average pay of a well-seasoned applications designer is still no match to that of a recently-graduated MBA

    You've got to be kidding. When I got my MBA and starting working for a fortune 500 company, it didn't take long to find out that the engineers there were starting at twice what the MBA's were making. That was my incentive to go back to school to get another degree, this time in Computer Science. I never regretted that decision.
