No, the TV works fine with the PS3 and HDMI, althogh the audio itself lags hard, so I use the RCA on the PS3 audio.
It's for PC that it really goes to shit. It won't align on the screen, with the upper-left about three inches off screen, and no way to get it into the right space. Again, the PS3 on the same port has NO ISSUES. Same cable.
Oh, and what's with DIFFERENT CABLE SPECS FOR HDMI? TRIPLE fuck that.
FUCK NO. HDMI has too many fucking changes every revision, DVI has a shorter cable range than VGA. I get crisper pictures (with better alignment) on my 32" LCDTV using VGA than with HDMI (which barely works at all.)
"why (possibly more accurately, where?) on earth would I have to wait for a technician to deliver the new one?"
They need to register your MAC address so it's allowed on the network.
This is how almost ALL ISPs operate.
So if you buy a new piece of equipment, you're still likely stuck on waiting for a tech to get your 'always-on' connection registered by MAC address with their network.
Yea, sure, so when one component fails, you're stuck without ANY connectivity of any sort while you wait for the replacement for the entire kit.
Or you could get REALLY short cables, stack the units properly for airflow, and if something fails, you're less likely to have to wait upon a service technician to deliver something to you, as you can likely run to a store and pick up the replacement within hours instead of days.

While reading Slashdot, it doesn't make one bit of difference. While one story tab loads, the rest of Firefox FREEZES while slashdot struggles to get rendered. I can't even scroll up or down.
Which makes me think it's not a browser problem any longer, but the coders of websites and the coders of plugins (Crash er I mean Flash) that are the issue.
Not sure, probably having problems making them smaller. The whisker growth is inhibited but not totally arrested, so maybe only AA+ size batteries can handle this for now.

Not by any means am I doing *ANYTHING* wrong. My business partner in Australia gets disconnected REGULARLY during our video-conference calls because Telstra's backbone SUCKS BALLS, and he's paying for business-class service.
We had to resort to using our cell phones to get business handled between us, that's how bad Telstra sucks.
I guess you've not heard that we fixed the whiskering issue with nickel/zinc batteries. I've been using them in my devices and they're better than Lithium Polymer, NiMh, or NiCd.
Love that 1.8 peak and 1.6 nominal voltage, with a bit over the typical capacity of Ni-MH.
Kill the fuckers. Seriously, it won't be long until they start putting advertisements directly into our brains, unless you finally stand up and kill the motherfuckers responsible for this shit in the first place.
Go on and add me to your list. You utterly fail at realizing just how desperately most every politician and lobbyist NEEDS TO DIE RIGHT NOW.
"Sony removing backwards compatibility on PS3 means that images of PSX and PS2 games are now legal to distribute since I can't walk into a store and buy a system to play them,"
That's easy. For example, while I may be a californian, I can sue anybody else (a texas judge, for example) under California law if I feel the state has jurisdiction over the case. Or I can take the same case and attempt to get a judge in Kansas that will hear it.
The Change of Venue is an important legal tactic when it comes to getting what you want out of a lawsuit.
Yea. People try this EXACT SAME BULLSHIT in the cleaning business. They lose, too, when they realize their contract violated the law exactly as this one has!
"Why don't you try that with some of the full-size HP laptops?"
I did at Solectron. I was the LEAD repair tech for the night shift floor.
In fact, not two weeks after being hired I was teaching the tear-down and repair classes, BECAUSE I'M THAT GODDAMNED GOOD. There's a reason I got paid $20/hr while everyone else made $10.45.
Try again, sir. You just make yourself look like a complete fool every time you utter something.
I had to know the entire HP laptop range, both Consumer and commercial. No such thing as a small set when you're the depot's go-to person for everything the Geek Squad fucks up, plus the testing engy for the newer lines in prototyping stages.
Slashdot Mirror
Between audio/video, around 250ms latency.
DVI is near-lagless though I can see signal issues/pixel flickering. VGA is roughly the same speed, with better signal.
Never tried DisplayPort.
15-pin D-SUB VGA handles 2048x1536.
Yea, we've been running higher-than-HDTV resolutions for at least the past decade, if not more. I use VGA on my 1920x1080 screen.
A secondary note - Brand-new projector. I use the Zenith projector test pattern. DVI has pixel flicker. VGA remains steady.

"Get rid of VGA"
FUCK NO. HDMI has too many fucking changes every revision, DVI has a shorter cable range than VGA. I get crisper pictures (with better alignment) on my 32" LCDTV using VGA than with HDMI (which barely works at all.)
And then the lag in HDMI. Double fuck that.
"why (possibly more accurately, where?) on earth would I have to wait for a technician to deliver the new one?"

This is how almost ALL ISPs operate.
So if you buy a new piece of equipment, you're still likely stuck on waiting for a tech to get your 'always-on' connection registered by MAC address with their network.
For DSL this may be the case, but for Cable, most providers will require you to provide the new MAC address of the modem.
Which means YOU'RE STILL STUCK WAITING FOR A TECH.
I used to work for ISPs.
And in the meantime, I've burned through fifteen different all-in-one video cards, wireless APs, and those laptop/desktop systems.
I worked repair for a LONG time. All in one is pretty fucking useless when it comes to reliability.

Plus, blinking lights, man! Blinking lights!

"Am I to understand that headlights are optional because CA does not pay to provide the electricity to light them? "
No, but you are to understand that we have laws against "Attractive Nuisances" and that's EXACTLY what this is.

If only they made AAA versions.
The OP has a valid point if you bothered to take any chemistry classes or lit a cig in prison by popping a socket with pencil lead.
A little critical thinking might be nice to use, sometime, yes?
They didn't have caesium bombs.
nor did they have high explosives like what we have now.
Nor did they have weaponry capable of killing from miles away.
Kill the fuckers. Seriously, it won't be long until they start putting advertisements directly into our brains, unless you finally stand up and kill the motherfuckers responsible for this shit in the first place.
Go on and add me to your list. You utterly fail at realizing just how desperately most every politician and lobbyist NEEDS TO DIE RIGHT NOW.
I will bill every applicable agency $10,000 for every watt-hour of power the thing consumes.
Let's see you try to encroach upon my shit, assholes.
"Sony removing backwards compatibility on PS3 means that images of PSX and PS2 games are now legal to distribute since I can't walk into a store and buy a system to play them,"
WRONG! The PS2 slim is still selling.
That's easy. For example, while I may be a californian, I can sue anybody else (a texas judge, for example) under California law if I feel the state has jurisdiction over the case. Or I can take the same case and attempt to get a judge in Kansas that will hear it.
The Change of Venue is an important legal tactic when it comes to getting what you want out of a lawsuit.
Maybe now the Australian people won't get fucked by Telstra any longer. Seriously, that's got to be one of THE worst ISPs I've seen people use.
I've had more stable video conference calls on a 56k dialup.
Yea. People try this EXACT SAME BULLSHIT in the cleaning business. They lose, too, when they realize their contract violated the law exactly as this one has!
Your customer still has full legal ability to file a full property lien on those towers.

This may be news to you but I've written several trojans for DOS that were indeed viruses.
You might wish to rethink that statement you just made.
