In the new True Blood season everyone has a TV branded Vizio or something. Are they a new US only brand? Any good?

Vizio was a "generic" brand a few years ago. They have improved by leaps and bounds and hold their own nowadays, although they are not near the quality of top priced sets.
 
Let's say I want to take an advanced Calculus class at my college. I do fairly well in real world applications, but when it comes to abstract math, it's kind of iffy for me. Should I chance it, and take the course, or just continue down biology and psychology?
 
HELP!!!

I got a copy of E.T. from Netflix. It says it's 2 hours, 1 minute, 1982, but it also says Theatrical Re-release. I want to make sure it's not the shitty version with the CG crap that came out in the early 2000's.

The reason I'm asking and not just popping it in and starting the movie to find out is because I'm going to be watching it with my wife, and if it is the bullshit CGI version, she might not let me stop it once it's begun. Thanks in advance.
 
I believe it's frowned upon.

I did a quick scan of the FAQ but couldn't see any mention of it, but I'm sure I've heard warnings about using it.

I watched both. I don't think I noticed much... If you're at the point of worrying, you probably will... :/

SE runtime is 120 minutes, unlucky.

You can tell from Universal logo (SE has the modern one) before the movie if you pop it in, only watched the new version once though and hated it.
 
Because I don't know where else to ask this: can someone tell me why my dad's iTunes account refuses to use his gift credit? It shows 50 dollars available, but it'll charge his card anyway. I tried just removing his CC info, but it just won't let him make any purchases in spite of the credit on his account.
 
Whenever I log out of my account, GAF stops updating properly. It always seems as though there's a delay between when people post and when it updates on my end. For example, I'll log off after posting this, but the main forum won't show this thread as having my latest post. Also, it's 1:45 right now. When I log off, the newest posts it'll show will be from 1:42 or so.

It's very odd. It happens on my desktop, laptop, phone, and iPad, so I'm assuming it can't be just me? Does this happen to anyone else, and if so, is there a way to fix it?

Is there a website that lists movie chapter titles and appropriate timestamps? I just got a VCR > DVD recorder and I was going to convert the old VHS collection to DVD, and I'd love to mark the appropriate chapters properly.

The forum is on a time delayed server for lurkers. It helps when overloaded during events like E3.

Do you have a mac? If so, iMovie that comes with Life (I believe) is pretty good. Windows: It also depends on how serious you are with editing, but I've had a friend who enjoyed Windows Movie Maker for simple edits.

Forget to check for replies. I've tried movie maker and didn't like it. I'm not looking to do serious stuff, just simple things like mashing vids together and maybe minor special effects....
 
Re: Amazon's Release-Date Shipping:

Anyone ever tried paying the extra four bucks for overnight vs. the free "release day" shipping?

Reason I ask is that overnight shipping usually arrives at my house around 1PM, whereas standard shipping can be as late as 7PM.

I just wonder if the extra four bucks would land me my game around 1, or if it would be a waste of money, or, worse, if "One Day" would mean I wouldn't even get the game until Wednesday.

Anyone?

The weird thing for me was I would see posts and then a few minutes later they'd disappear.

Don't know how advanced this course will be but Calculus at undergrad level is usually not very theory heavy. I say go for it.
 
Say you have the ability to freeze time. Let's also say that you find yourself in a room filled with attractive women wearing a lot of tight pants, miniskirts or sun dresses.

Now lets also say you happen to have a bullet vibrator in your pocket, just because you're kind of a pervert.

If you stopped time in this room full of attractive women and used the vibrator on every single one of them for 10 minutes or so each. What do you think would happen when you unfroze time?

1) Every woman in the room would simultaneously climax when you unfroze time
2) All the friction from the vibrator would be concentrated on their clits over the course of about a second and cause severe injury, or
3) Nothing would happen at all, really.


Ohhh... if only I had the power to freeze time...

Also, WTF? That would be like... rape, dude.
I'm guessing 2 or 3, as there would be no buildup over time, it would just be like receiving a sudden jolt or shock, I would think.

If you froze physical space and somehow you are conscientious of it, and able to somehow not have that affect attributed to your body, you would not even be able to move, because the air would not displace for you, rendering any of those choices impossible.

Ok, ok, you're right. We'll modify the scenario a bit, then.

Say you're in a room full of attractive women wearing tight pants, mini skirts and sun dresses, and all of them have agreed to undergo some sexually related experiments involving the field of quantum physics (I think?) and time.

Clearly, I need to re-remodify the scenario to be where you're also wearing the Flash's costume and thus would not be affected by such trivial realities!
 
What are the pros/cons of drinking Gatorade pretty regularly? I'm trying to cut pop out completely, I'm going strong for 2 weeks now. :P I did a quick google search the other night though and found some sites that claimed Gatorade would wear your teeth down quicker than Coke, so um yea...?

Pros: None, if you eat a balanced diet.
Cons: Unnecessary calories.

It's still better than pop I suppose, a bottle of Mt Dew had double the calories and over double the sugar...I have dropped 4 pounds since cutting it out, so I guess some good is coming out of it. :P

Would tea would be pretty much interchangeable with water?
I'm trying to stick to healthier beverages and not drink as much soda and juice, but I need some variety.

Unless you're buying it at an asian market place, tea is probably loaded with sugars and carbs and whatnot. If you can get used to unsweetened tea, go for it (I love it, myself). Its much better than drinking pop, at least. Although tea usually has a lot of caffeine in it, if that matters to you.
Otherwise, just drink water and buy some of those powdered flavor packets. They usually only have about 5 calories in them or so.

That's a good point, I forgot about those. Thanks for reminding me.

Tea and coffee are both fine if you're trying to lose weight, unless you add milk and sugar.

We don't really know, but one theory is that the games were played on foot, as opposed to on horse.
