  1. You know your working to much when your child says on How to Do What You Love · · Score: 1

    I'm a college grad with a high tech
    career. Imagine my dismay when my child
    when asked what he wanted to be when
    he grew up said, "a garbage man".

    I felt very disappointed to say the least.
    When I asked, "Why?", he replied,
    "Because garbage men only work one day
    a week."

    Least to say, I only work the overtime I have to anymore.

  2. Re:Why do we dance around the truth? on Linux Desktop Email Key to Success · · Score: 2, Funny

    But with linux you could write your
    own tools for your dental office.
    It would not be any harder to do than
    pulling teeth right?

  3. Re:Sony is suffering for high quality, !$profit on Sony Profits Low, Halts CRT Production · · Score: 1

    It was simple to find so many reviews to back up my comments, that being the Sony's CRT is the best out there. http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_KV_34XBR910/4514-6485 _7-30536650.html http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetailReview .do?oid=96194&com.broadvision. session.new=Yes&BV_SessionID=@@@@1779814821.113043 5483@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdeaddgd hdiiijcfngcfkmdffhdfkl.0 http://hardware.gamespot.com/Story-ST-1341-x-10-11 -x http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_KV_34HS510/4514-6481_ 7-20886712.html Yes they are more expensive than any other type, but you truly get what you pay for. It is like buying fine furniture made of real solid wood or the stapled together crap that you get at the brick. The CRT industry is being phased out just like fine furniture did a long time ago. People bought crap because it was cheap and served their immediate purpose. Fine furniture is a rarety, but it is better. So too is the CRT. It is being pushed aside by inferior products that are cheaper and of less quality because most consumer demand it. This is why Sony is turning down the product lines. Unlike fine furniture, technology will make the competing products better Just not yet. Until that time, I'll stick to my Sony 34" HDTV CRT thank you.

  4. Sony is suffering for high quality, !$profit on Sony Profits Low, Halts CRT Production · · Score: 1

    I bought a 17 sony trinitron over 15 years ago for $1700. It is still going strong. When I went looking for an HDTV replacement nothing is better than a CRT. The Sony line is quoted as being the standard for which all others are measured, even LCD. Sony stopped making the 40" model. I guess that was a sign. Considering the quality of Sony's products, known by there reputation; I'd say that Sony is suffering losses because of their high quality.

  5. What is the difference? on RIAA Sues a Child · · Score: 1

    I don't understand the RIAA. I can go to any music store, find a CD I may like and ask the clerk if I can listen to it there. If I like it I buy it, if I don't, I will not. Now I download some music at home. If I like it I can go to the store and buy it (If I'm honest). If not I delete the file. Tell me why I'm going to be sued for something that the music stores are already doing?

  6. IMBD & Canadian costs on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    If someone in the movie buisiness is wise, they will gather some usefull information from these posts. I usually use IMDB to screen out bad movies. I don't know if others do. The theatres in Canada (Ontario) are usually better. I guess you can attribute that to our personality. I have on very odd occasions had to shush a younger viewer, but rarely. I still choose wisely as the cost is still up there. $10Cdn + $5 popcorn + $2 pop, all per person. For these prices, only the must see movies are worth it. Star Wars III and War of the Worlds are great examples of a must see in the theatre. So for those U.S. folks, when your here, come see a movie, its cheaper and quieter.
