    I will never buy another Sony product again

    I agree, everything with the Sony name on it that I've ever owned has fallen apart or stopped working. You'd think with all the child slave labor they have they could put together a quality product. I've heard their TVs are decent, but I refuse to even consider them. Not even to mention...

    Did McDonald's Burgers get smaller this week?

    Haha. It IS a joke, and actually a pretty funny movie. BUT during the course of it they actually talk about other things aside from his moronic quest to kill himself with fast food, including how bad it truly is for you and how pervasive it is into the lives of kids that their parents don't...

    Did McDonald's Burgers get smaller this week?

    Two things. First, watch the movie "Supersize Me" sometime. It really puts the fast food industry in perspective. Esp McD's. Second, INDIA? You could pay me to fly OVER India, let alone eat food there. Even at McDonalds. :eek:

    Star Wars Revenge of the Sith **SPOILER** THREAD

    Hey man, I agree, I like the originals better as far as plot goes - altho the action scenes in the oldies can't even compare to the new ones. And Lucas didn't develop a conscience, he just changed the nature of the movie -- the first one was definitely more geared towards a younger audience...

    Star Wars Revenge of the Sith **SPOILER** THREAD

    I just want to counter a FEW of Leprkon's objections : Mind tricks only work on the weak-minded. This is mentioned at least a thousand times thorughout the six films, and Padme specifically asks Anikin about it in Ep 2 and he says "I can't, it only works onthe weak-minded." It's amazing...

    Lucas to make 'Star Wars' prequel

    Rumor has it they're actually making this, and naming it, appropriately, "Space Balls : The Search for More Money" (if you remember in the first one, Yogurt mentions this). Article Here : http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=6547 Anyways, as for the Star Wars Prequel, I like the idea, I think...

    Explain something to me....

    Dude, stand next to a full length mirror some time with Khakis, black socks, and white running shoes. Even though you only see an inch or less of sock, it's enough to make you look like a bafoon. Or throw on a dark suit with white sport socks. Especially noticable if you sit down. Why...

    Worst Actor/Actress?

    (To Takereasy, it's Tara Reid, FYI :) ) Worst actor has to be Keanu Reeves. I really can't believe they keep giving him roles. Maybe Vin Diesel. Actress? I think Halle Berry is God-awful. She's definitely not the worst, but considering how popular she is, I want to single her out...

    Soap Box

    Pfff, good luck finding a new job salesperson. It's called a free market economy. My "knowledgeable staff" is my internet research. I'm a scumbag for finding an alternate means of getting my information? Sure, going into a store and using the resources there and then buying online is ...

    Bose

    I agree 95% with that.... but Harleys do look and sound nice :) If that's what you care about, and hav ea lot of money to burn, go for it... Hmm, that's kind of another parallel to Bose -- they look nice and cost too much, so if that's what you want, there ya go! :) Honestly, if I had the...

    Utter newbie just doesn't understand. Can you please explain to me why this can't be?

    The problem is, to put a more fine a point on it - your speakers suck. If you go too loud with them, THEY WILL DISTORT, no matter what you do, or how many receivers you hook up. If you maybe JUST go with the Pioneers, you might be OK, as you said t hose sound better and "louder". As soon as...

    Utter newbie just doesn't understand. Can you please explain to me why this can't be?

    They're most likely using multiple AMPLIFIERS. If your receiver had a pre-out, which allows you to connect directly to an amplifier, you would pretty much have NO problem (other than crappy speakers, of course). Because you can hook a bunch of amps up to one pre-out if you want to, and hook...

    Gawd I hate Best Buy

    BTW, I just saw this - it happened on February 20. Almost two months ago, at least by my calender. Unless you have a different way of telling dates, I'd say that almost two months is "a while", yes. If you want to be conservative, that opinion piece was originally published March 8, over...

    Gawd I hate Best Buy

    I'm getting sucked into this debate, but just cuz I hate the overreactions. First, someone mentioned this customer's treatment with regards to the car stereo. That's the reason I hate Best Buy - they treat their customers like crap, and they lie. They're just not a good business. That...

    Gawd I hate Best Buy

    I feel bad that the guy was "treated as a criminal", but they thought he WAS a criminal. Listen, false arrest sucks, but he went home an hour later. Sure, Best Buy should throw him a gift card or something, but people are talking about thousands of dollars in restitutions, not to mention...

    Gawd I hate Best Buy

    This story has been out for a while now. While the initial cashier may not have been familiar with two dollar bills, the "official" story is that they were suspicious of forgery because the bills had "smudges" and sequential serial numbers - both of which were verified by law enforcement...

    Is it ok to stack receiver on top of the subwoofer?

    Uhh... I would STRONGLY recommend you move that HTPC post haste. You think a receiver is hurt by constant vibrations, you should see how a hard drive is going to react. YOu're going to have disk failures within a month if you don't move that thing.

    Banana Plugs - do we need them?

    Um... I have to take issue with your "counterexamples"... Uh, no, but there are what amount to spade connectors (the plug) that goes into the wall. Do you solder your plugs to the wall socket?? :eek: :eek: No, you use RCA connectors for the most part, unless you're talking optical...

    Was Dylan The Best Lyricist Of All Time?

    hahahaha I'm sorry, you're comparing a Bruce Springsteen song to BOB DYLAN?? Hahahaha. I'll admit that some schmoes come out with some good lines once ina while, but you're talking OVERALL LYRICISTS here, not one good lyric that you happen to like. Anyways, I agree with the original post...
