My guess is you should be able to confirm with any company if the internet distrubitor you are going to buy from is authorized or not with an e-mail or a phone call to customer service. It might take a bit longer, but in the long run it will probably reduce your stress level significantly.

This is going to get flammed to all hell given the political leanings of this website but here we go: Turn Iran into a sheet of glass...are you kidding me? Please tell me you guys are joking about killing millions of people, and don't really think it is a good idea. Please. If you really...

"we've been doing this for 15 years, don't worry" Not knowing anything about the vendor you are dealing with specifically, I would say that response is a bad sign. "Trust me" is not a vailid response to a customer's concerns, especially in a custom installation when you are shelling out a...

Beautiful. Although your dog's eyes terrify me.

Correct. Oddly enough, the poor need the services more than the rich...go figure. And as far as the "fat poor" are concerned, there are a lot of reasons for that, the least of which is access to good nutrition. McDonalds is much cheaper than fresh fruit.

A flat tax, while it sounds nice, is actually considered a "regressive tax" or a tax that burdens the poor more than the rich because exactly because the poor pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as the rich. The rich can use a higher precentage of their income for non-essential...

I believe it is a function of the video/audio signal: It takes the audio signal less time to get from the DVD player to your ears than it does the video signal to get from the DVD palyer to the display. most receivers have a delay function to sync the audio. I have lip-sync issues on...

http://www.axiomaudio.com/epicmidi_125main.html 5.1 for about $100 more, and what I would consider to be a much better system. Easy to upgrade in the future by swaping out the fronts with the M22ti or M60ti in the future if you want better 2-channel playback.

I have the 1500, so this might vary a bit from your system. I would recommend after you have everything hooked-up to run the YPAO auto-setup feature. -After to do the auto step-up go into the manual set-up features and tweek the speaker size, LEF channels, etc. My YPAO sets my fronts...

Netflix all the way... I have been a member for almost 3 years now, and I have to say it is fantastic. I have no experience with the Blockbuster system, but have had no issues at all with Netflix. Depending on your mail service, you will be very pleased how fast the movies get to you. When...

Sweet mother of God, please tell me you joking. (The below are cut and pasted from bushwatch.org/bushlies.htm ) How about in the State of the Union address: "By the year 2042, the entire [social security] system would be exhausted and bankrupt."-GWB In what the BBC calls "highly...

I am not an opthamologist, but here is my take: The technology/techniques for this procedure are actually pretty good. The problem is a certian percentage of the population will have some scaring on the retina associated with the laser treatment. This may or may not have anything to do with...

I would say yes, TV callibration is well worth it. Start off with one of the callibration disks like DVE or Avia, and see how it compares to the plasma. But remember that the source material and resolution are going to have a major effect on the picture. A pair of $5,000 speakers will...

I would still run your DVD and cable box directly into the Plasma, as those are going to be the two highest quality video signals you have. If you add any more componets to the system your best bet will be to run all other audio/video signals directly into the AVR and then have an s-video...

My presonal preference is to directly connect as many componets as possible. Send all the audio directly to the AVR, send all video directly to the plasma. If the plasma does not have enough inputs for all of your componets, I would say at least directly connect the DVD and the cable box to...

Give Axiom a call. I spoke with them a number of times when I was trying to figure out the best configuration for my system. Also remember the 30 day demo policy: If you don't like the sound return it.

As far as the display is concerned, unless you are really into mounting the TV on the wall I would say go with a DLP, LCD, or LCoS over the plasma. You will be able to to save a few thousand dollars at that size. Room brightness and viewing angle also come into play, but unless someone is...

With all due respect to you, your time spent, and the sacrifices made for this country, the "qualities" of this president include: A rich and politically powerful father, Karl Rove, **** Cheney, and a poor grasp of the english language. The first three are what got him into power, make no...

OK, this is a long one...sorry. Better late than never, eh rjbudz? Great discussion, although I admit I didn't get to all the posts. One of the main problems I have with the "alternative" medicine industry is essentially there is no one watching them. They were removed from FDA over-sight...

I own the Oppo and think it is fantastic. I had my set ISF callibrated and the guy said he was very impressed with the image quality of the player. Although he might have been blowing smoke because I hadn't paid him yet...:eek:
