HDTV's just aren't that great for anything other than sports (mainly only NFL at that).
Not sure where you've been for the last couple years, but there are over a dozen HD channels even on basic cable. My wife loves HD Law and Order... and the National Geographic channel is a pleasure to watch. It really lets you appreciate the scenic beauty.
I completely disagree. I am a Software Engineer by trade and have all the required skills to build a site from scratch but I simply do not have the time! I am known to actually rewrite everything but it is more a matter of priorities. Do I really want to spend the 30+ hours to write a custom forum UI? Or user management architecture? No... instead I spend the time adding to the baseline that Joomla provides to bring as much functionality as possible to my users with as little effort as possible for my part.
If you're curious what I'm talking about... you can check out my site vendortrash.dnsdojo.org. It's a WoW guild site using an older version of Joomla significantly hacked to support game related material. A lot of it is out of the box and I've added things as necessary, or when a prebuilt solution just wasn't what I wanted.

Presumably, the women were as anonymous as the trolls
