Parents want to purchase an HD tv. The problem is that everything they watch is SD (a lot of their programs don't air in HD). My brother got an Aquaos lcd tv and SD channels look like complete ass when compared to a normal tube television.

So for SD content, LCD or Plasma? Any new tv's out there that handle SD content well? Anything coming out maybe in the near future?

Was it on some massive sale or something? That one looks pretty sweet, but the cheapest I'm seeing is $200+.

I found this 100 dollar one on eBay:

There are apparently larger ones that cost much more money.

What are you going to use the tablet for? If it is for serious art work then definitely go for he feature filled option. The cheap tablet screens just don't cut it especially being so innacurate and without pressure sensitivity. I suggest getting an Intuos as the bamboos are kinds bad.

Well, it isn't for serious work, mostly just for simple drawing fun, and sometimes convenience.

I'm considering buying a 90 dollar touch screen kit for my (10" screen) netbook, actually... one that I'd have to install myself. However, the Intuos 3 looks pretty good as well, so I'll need to think about it.

How has GAF gone about fixing their internal clock? This summer I've become particularly lazy and, if left to my own devices, will sleep from sunrise to sunset.
..Which is a shame because I love breakfast.

Sometimes that happens (like now, actually...) What I do is, I hang out outside the day after not sleeping for a night, and when I get home, I'd sleep regularly (hopefully).

In the song "Wild Wild West" by Will Smith, the lyrics are:

Now who ya gonna call?
Not the G.B.'s
Now who you gonna call?
*G double E G*

GBs are obviously the Ghostbusters, but what the heck is a GEEG?

Just a guess but maybe it's "GWEG", which would be the last name initials for Gordon West Escobar and Grant, the main protagonists,

The main protagonist's names were James West (Will Smith) and Marshall Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline).

Yeah, I said that. The other two are Escobar (Salma Hayek) and President Grant (also Kline).

Similar to an exclusive game, the provider is willing to do more for the company who make the product if it's exclusive. The iPhone is way cheaper than it should be compared to other phones, it being exclusive allows that.
 
Why does coffee make me more lethargic and relaxed than energized? It’s been this way for years. After a cup of coffee I’ll be inclined to nod off to sleep rather than feel energetic. Even after two cups of freshly brewed coffee I’ll feel like a nap.

Caffeine fail.

Apparently....

First, caffeine is a vasoconstictor (it shrinks your blood vessels) thereby, it increases your heart rate and blood pressure. This is why caffeine is so effective for treating headaches.

Second, caffeine is also a diuretic (it makes you pee).

Therefore, if you are already dehydrated, then the caffeine will not have enough blood volume to shrink down the vessels to increase your blood pressure, and the caffeine will increase your dehydration to make you more tired.

Is time travel possible? Not space time travel, like going back to the 50's time travel?
Click to expand...

Because it's not possible, unless you start factoring in stuff like multiverses, start questioning the operation of space time, etc, and all of those things are not worth questioning because it because imagination Vs. known science.

If it’s possible it’s based on totally unknown science and understanding of the universe.

Also, thanks for the answer SmokyDave.

The reason no ones come back from the future is because the future does not exist at the moment. Only the present and past exists.

What the hell are the Scroll Lock and Pause Break keys for? They're on like every keyboard but I have never used them.
Click to expand...

In Excel for example you can use the Scroll Lock to make the screen scroll with the arrow keys, in stead of moving one cell at a time.

The Pause Break key is for when you leave your desk at work.
 
I go to a barber shop run by a Muslim guy, he's really nice and his little three chair shop on the site of the mall has turned into a huge 6 7 8 chair one.

Went to a girly girly salon across the road from my parents store when I was younger, god damn those chicks were hot.

In this case it is more because ATT was the only company willing to let Apple have a share of the revenue for each contract when they originally signed the deal.
 
I had my ipod synced to my last computer, which has since become unusable. Is there anyway i can upload all the song from my ipod onto my new comp? I really don't want to lose all my music by syncing it with my new comp and have to restore my entire catalog.

T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics came up with a theory I like. With all of past and history future to choose from, time travel tourists must be going to places and times much more awesome than this.
 
If some guy killed your whole family and you took it upon yourself to exact revenge and kill him in court. What would your sentence be? Would they take into consideration what he did to your family?

Thanks, but there is one thing i forgot to mention. My brother and father also use this computer and have their own ipod/phone devices, and their own apple accounts. Will each of our devices come into conflict if i use either of these programs?

You better make sure you kill everyone else there too, so there's no witnesses.
 
Where are all these similarly-styled avatars coming from, that make popular characters look like construction paper puppets or something?
