Obama does seem to have a knack for making elegant promises which basic common sense finds absurd. He voted for the Bush \"stimulus\" package, spends another $800B in his own \"stimulus\" package, on top spending increasing spending in other areas and trying to cut taxes at the same time. Then he ...

Plasmas in general have better picture quality, although LCDs are rarely set correctly in-store. I'm probably pickier about image quality than most people though. I have a 42\" Panasonic Plasma and I love it! It's great for games, movies, and sports. Not so great for constant viewing of TV channels ...

Another way to legally convert iTunes m4p files and WM wma files to mp3 is to use a program that will play the recorded file and re-record it as an mp3 (this does not crack the DRM, and therefore falls under fair use laws). I use Tunebite. This is usually done in real time, but you can batch process ...

DVD Creation Software
I'm looking for some good software to convert our home videos to DVD. I've used a DVD recorder, but labeling scenes and moving them around and such was extremely slow and arduous. Anyone know of some good ones? I prefer free, but I wouldn't mind paying for it either if the software is really good.

Re: Nintendo announces real Revolution name...
However, I had the same reaction to the name. It was eerily similar to my reaction when I first saw the controller. Therefore I think it has a chance to grow on me. But then again, the name isn't a 3D mouse.Top Gun wrote:"I don't really give a damn what it's called; I'm buying it anyway."

I think I'm gonna go for the 930BF. Now for the last question. What is considered a good pixel policy? Samsung won't replace the monitor until it has 10 or more bad pixels. Newegg wants at least 8. ZipZoomFly will replace if 3 dead pixels are in the center (2\"x2\"), 4 pixels on the rest, or 6 total ...

The only difference I can see between the 940B and the 930BF is the response time and the brightness. The 940 is brighter while the 930 has a 4ms response time rather than 8ms. Is that a big enough difference to warrant paying $50 more for a monitor that isn't as bright (please note again that I ...

Looking for recommendations on an LCD
I am looking at getting a 19\" LCD as a second monitor. I already have a CRT for gaming, so I'll mostly be using it for Windows applications. I was looking to spend $300-400. What are some good brands/models?

Actually, your velocity is linear, but your centripetal acceleration will be angular. I'm going to neglect friction and gravity because I don't have a Ph.D. in physics.

That right there just sealed Nintendo's fate as far as the Gamecube is concerned.

Surely they weren't planning on selling a ton ...
