OK, now I'm pissed!

pontiacs are badass, here's mine:

[GMichael]

Wha??? He did wha???? Dang, Beef's now toyin' with them forces of nature! It can only end badly ...

Thanks for the love guys. I was feeling very unwelcome after Beefy shot at me, again. Not sure what I ever did to him.
Styx, I haven't checked yet, but if I am on top as you say, I'll have to get out the big guns and start firing off a few greenies your way.
(Alas, my gun is down for the next 24 hours.)

Drat drat and double drat!

You could ask your doctor for a Viagra sample to see if you can get it up again.

whoa whoa whoa...why all the beef??
And what's with bashing TI?!? Damned if TI calculators haven't helped me breeze through math in school.

Oh, and the DLP chip is paired with a colour wheel numbnuts... hence all of those DLP projectors that everyone ooohs and aaaahs about.

Ah yes, the infamous "color wheel" that produces rainbow edging and noise.
YA, peeps are just "ohhing and ahhing" those DLP SETS!
ARENT buying too many tho.
Wonder why that is?
WELL, THEY TEND TO BE 18 " DEEP in a flat world, the 200$ bulb has te lifespan of a fruitfly, and the light output degrades over time, affecting the picture before it does go out.
THEY HAVE led POWERED SETS OUT NOW, about 2200 bucks , you can get a similar
lcd or plasma flat screen that will last twenty years, as opposed to a DLP that will last about ten.
OTHER THAN THAT dlp IS DOING FINE.
In the march 2007 issue of PC mag they declared that it was over, LCD had won,
and they were pretty much right

I don't see a rainbow on my 57" Mitsubishi DLP TV pix. And the bulb hasn't burned out yet either.

[Rich-n-Texas]

You make waaaaay to many fvckin' assumptions dude.

[pixelthis]

You make waaaaay to many fvckin' assumptions dude.

about what?
I dont have anything against DLP, but its assumed I do because I state teh fact that its getting its butt kicked in the marketplace.
Thats not an "assumption".
As a matter of fact, best has a DLP from Samsung on sale that I was considering,
1162 for a fifty" set, 1080p yet.
Not too shabby, although I still think that the clueless shouldnt be buying DLP.
DLP needs to be reserved for those who can put up with the regime of letting the bulb warm up and cool off properly, etc.
And rainbow effects have been reported because of the color wheel.
If I state in error pleasse correct me, I wanna be accurate here.

And about those TI "calculators"...
In the seventies I was taking electronics, and during the first year we all used sliderules.
Thats right...sliderules
The only guy who could afford a calculator was teach, they were 120$ or so (about five hundred in todays dollars)
By the third year they had come down in price, you could get one pretty cheap, and every week someone would bring one in to fix, and it was usually a, you guessed it,
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS calculator, usually a scientific model.
And teach would tell them to throw it away, it wasnt worth fixing, because it would cost more that it was worth.
We used to joke about TI calculators having the lifespan of a "fruitfly".
So maybe I am a little biased against TI, but there is a reason, beleive me.

This is your car?
Whos driving it down the street?
Nobodies stealing it, are they?

[Auricauricle]

That looks like...No it can't be...Is it?....Hey, KIT! KIT!! Get your microchip aspergilis over here right now! Don't let me pull my Nightrider out on your sorry self!!

I thought I was bad with a TI 55-C....Shoulda stayed with the abacus, though....

I REALLY don't feel like qualifying all this insane rambling with a response today; it's Monday afterall, but if I have to, I will.

Pix's Wonderlic Test Results!

[Mr Peabody]

Man, we need a format war.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Make one up. It's a given that pix'll predict its death, and then pat himself on the back.

Wait a minute, that war wouldn't last very long would it?

"Format " somebodies hard drive, that will start a war.
BTW there is an article in msn.com about the death of the audiophile, some very insightfull obsevations by Steve Guttenburg, talks about the mess audio is in.
Might wanna read it

When he makes another decent movie, I will listen to his views on Audiophiles!

So where's the link? And, when, did, he become an expert on audio?

[E-Stat]

I dont have anything against DLP, but its assumed I do because I state teh (sic) fact that its getting its butt kicked in the marketplace.

Except of course for the large screen formats (mine is a 61") where LCD didn't exist.

DLP needs to be reserved for those who can put up with the regime of letting the bulb warm up and cool off properly, etc.

Commonly referred to as the "On/off" switch.

Not that gutenburg!
This is a collumnist who makes some observations about how much trouble the world of audio is in.
Its a big problem, most are clueless about how good a really nice audio system is.
Try to tell them and while they might think your system sounds good they really dont want to bother with it.
Audio is in competition with computers, the net, games, HT, etc.
Its a big problem, systemic really
