Hey man, you can rub it in my face when you make 3 times as much money as me because you have some super triple degree from ISU. Either that, or you'll be over educated and everyone will be afraid of you. *laugh* They said they were thinking about doing Disney next year. That would be...

Ok, this is me... I wonder if I can change my user name to just "Jim Robbins" somehow. It would be easier for people to harass me then... *grin* I didn't see the option in the user control panel, however. Maybe I'll have to email one of the head honchos and see what they can do.

iPhwned!! I was almost crying I was laughing so hard! I am going to use that tonight when I kill people playing Halo 3... That's some good stuff!!!

That looks like a pretty cool speaker, btw. I like the way it locks into the plasterboard. Btw, when I put some inwall speakers in my house, I used a Rotozip tool to cut the hole. It's like a super fast drill with a side cutting bit. You can set the depth to just slightly deeper than the...

That was a great video! Lots of good coverage and very funny! Thanks for the great show coverage this year. I am anxious for some of the reviews of that stuff as it comes down the pipe. It's a great year for AV.

Buy One, Get it done! Hmm, that's odd. I checked this thread this morning, and I swear that HD-DVD was in the lead... Now Blu-ray is in the lead. ...well, in the lead just behind "not buying", that is. *grin* Is someone cheating on the poll? Seems that HD-DVD was leading by about the same...

You make an interesting point. Of course, it seems logical to allow those who do wrong to be punished by their own wrongdoing. However, putting trojans on people's computers and bogging down legitimate networks is a terrible thing, as we are all punished! I personally do not download music or...

I already own the Toshiba A2, but I plan on Buying the A30 or A35 before Christmas. I really like my A2, much better than I expected, to be honest with you. I just recently purchased an HDTV for a room other than my main projection HT man cave, and I really want to have HD movies on it, as...

We'll send a few small children over to your house and see how well you can pursue the truth of audio and video! It's pretty darn difficult with them running around and playing or yelling or crying or dancing, etc... Even when my kids are listening to music or watching a movie, they still want...

Make 'em shut up! I saw 300 in theaters twice. The first time, it was a semi decent theater, and had a pretty good experience. The second time, the theater was crap, and there were a bunch of kids in the movie who must have been about 14 or something. I am pretty sure they bought tickets...

I have kids, but they are old enough now to not be much of a problem (8 and 11). We usually use the home theater when they are in bed, and the Basement theater room is isolated enough from the bedrooms on the second floor of the house to be enough sound reduction usually. Once in a while the...

It's hard to put in to words how wrong this seems... The RIAA and MPAA are constantly slapping lawsuits onto people who may or may not have violated any laws, and they don't back down, even when the people are dead or don't own computers, etc... I am just dumbfounded!! Not only are they...

I didn't read the rest of this thread, but I'll tell my story. Apply it to your situation as needed... So, my cousin, Scott Petersen (not the one who may or may not have killed his wife) was over using my system to do video editing for an independent film he was making. We had a pair of...

My ranking: Artifact-free image (no “sparklies” or “graininess” imparted by the screen itself) Color accuracy Brightness Contrast Viewing angle (the uniformity of brightness from various viewing positions) I really hate sparkle screens. I don't know why, I just do... I think after that the...

You would think they would have ratios described like: 32bit contrast = 4 billion to 1 128bit per pixel color = I can't see that many colors in my entire life! It's just that absurd... I mean, can't they accurately measure the numbers and come up with some real number that has a...

I really like B much better. The black/grey is very cool looking. Also, it's nice to NOT see them behind the receiver, as you can see all my cables from the seating position, and very clearly from the side. I want them to blend into the dark as best as possible so they don't draw attention...

I don't think I would want anything other than Black Velvet. I did do an install for a gentleman who wanted some kind of wooden surround, however. He has a very rustic looking room. We went with an electrically retractable, acoustically transparent screen from www.seymourav.com instead. We...

Ok, one more question... How formal is the banquet? Like, do I need to be renting a tuxedo or something? Or, will it be like Tie, and nice shirt, vs. Business casual? I don't know how formal "formal" is for you guys in Florida. Let us know. Thanks!

And now the Japanese are bombing us with HD discs! *grin* At least they are only confusing people instead of killing them. But seriously, I think the flip format with HD on one side and SD on the other side is a good idea. We have all kinds of products that have normal DVD drives built...

Do you guys really think both formats will fail? Or perhaps, universal players will make it so it doesn't matter what kind of disc you put in? I am guessing that this war will be similar to the DVD+R and DVD-R computer feud from a few years back. You can walk into the store, buy both formats...
