They both have 5 year warranties, so IMHO, no the ES isn't worth anything over a 7200.10.

There is a reason why some US citizens are retiring to other countries with no / low taxes on retirement income and then renounce their US citizenship.

I've been drooling over this stick for a while, but I keep hoping the price will drop. :(

Glad to be of service.

It's probably intentional. Someone selling fake fuses because they're cheaper to make. They sell fake eggs, fake bottled water, all sorts of stuff in China. You don't need to replace the fuse unless it blows.

Don't they cost more now than they did when you started this thread?

Probably made in China.

I think most of us are enthusiasts, not admins.

Sounds familiar, but spending some time with Google didn't turn up anything. How about http://johnvestman.com/digital_myth.htm ?

Either the edges or a thing layer on the laser lens.

I'd steer clear of it until they do a pile of testing to show it's better than 3.97.

Well, $266 was the disty price per chip in 1000 chip lots, so it was never going to get to $266 on this price drop.

I'm glad my guide is helping you guys. I hope your using the Final release of LAME 3.97 though instead of the Beta 2.

Uh... yeah... right... :rolleyes: That would explain why the price of corn has doubled in the past 18 months as ethanol usage has spiked (to replace MTBE in gas). I don't have any problems with Ethanol / E85. I have a big problem tampering with the food supply. I would much rather import oil...

It's all about supply and demand... Apparent there was a lot more demand @ $266 than supply.

$266 here we come!

Are you sure you have DMA enabled?

I picked the HD-DVDs of this one up from Deep Discount when they did their last 20% off sale. $55 was too good to pass up.

That's just a little dangerous with a Lithium Ion battery in it.

It's not an overgrown monitor. It does have a tuner in it, so it is a TV, not a monitor.

I'm not surprised... Once the hype dies down the cooler heads prevail.

Firefox has a built in spell checker. You shouldn't need any edit time to make sure you don't have misspelled words. Now, missing words or grammar mistakes... that's another issue.

Yes, but much worse. At least there are only 2 basic possibilities with USB 2.0. So far HDMI has 1.0, 1.1, 1.2a, 1.2b, 1.3a, 1.3b. Apparently some manufacturers advertise their HDMI revision by the revision of the chip they're using, not by the features they implement. So, if they use a HDMI...

Sorta... The whole HDMI revision thing is nearly completely useless because feature compliance is not mandatory. The PS3 is advertised as HDMI 1.3, but doesn't support several of the HDMI 1.3 features. It doesn't support raw bitstream transmission for DTS-MA or DD-TrueHD, both of which were...

I guess I'd be hard pressed to give you a good answer. Supposedly Blu-Ray and HD-DVD will never support "deep color". So it would be things like HD camcorders and maybe digital cameras. LED TVs have a very wide gamut so its hard to take advantage of that unless you stretch standard material...

Interesting article. Thanks for posting it.

I don't think that's the only difference between the 87 and 89. The USB interface is faster on the 89 and a few other things I don't recall off the top of my head.

A last gen card may be faster for casual gaming than these new budget cards from ATI and nVidia. Not sure if this helps you any.

Sounds like you "need" a different speaker.

Amazon has it for under $2k with free shipping. I would suggest you take a trip to your local ABC Warehouse if you don't mind doing a little wheeling and dealing. I got a great deal on my Hitachi a few years ago there.

It's not going to be any better. Probably not as good. I don't see what the problem is. I have a RP CRT that I bought 3 years ago and it's got a narrower viewing cone than any of these new microdisplay based RP sets, and I don't have any issues with it. Granted I'm not trying to watch it...

Please point us to the 1080p front projectors that have a comparable cost to the 2007 50" Samsung LED sets.

Well... If you have 20/20 vision to fully resolve 1920x1080 you should sit about 1.56x the diagonal. So, 6-8 feet is about right for a 50" set.

How far away will you be sitting?

The LED sets have great color and they're not very dim either. They're not as eye searingly bright as a direct view LCD however. I wouldn't hold your breath for SEDs. By the time they come to market there will have missed their window for opportunity.

I can see rainbows on any DLP that uses a conventional color wheel and UHP bulb. However, I can't see them on any of the new 2007 Samsung models that use LEDs (I could on the 2006 models though).

Can't do much other than lower your car.

Just draft a bus or large truck.

As soon as they come up with a fuel for the reactor that can't be used or converted into something that can make nuclear weapons I'm all for it. However, I think that's probably a ways off.

C'mon even an H2 has a Cd of .57...

So, why aren't all the greenies killing themselves off? :D

But the environment was so much better back then! or was it?

Because the same people who are upset about global warming and the burning of fossil fuels are vehemently opposed nuclear power. Apparently we're supposed to go back to the mid 1800's ride horses and not use electricity. :rolleyes:

Yes, but you're assuming an infinite supply of people and cars who need to get to work to saturate the roads. That won't happen in 2 weeks or even 2 years (if you improved 1000 roads).

Probably all of them, hence my earlier comment.

100MPG? That's a big fat lie. If you turn a hybrid into a plug in electric car it's not really fair to rate it in MPG because it's not relying on the burning of gas to move. However, if you want to rate it that way... Heck I'll drive an electric golf cart around that gets infinite MPG.

I would wager there probably isn't a single production SUV that can't go over 100MPH. Most cars can do about 110 or more. Often they can do better, but are limited. My car will do about ~150MPH and it's not small, it's not light, it's not a sports car, and it doesn't have 400HP either...

Well, I didn't suggest we change only one road. I'm talking about changing all the roads. If you change only one then people will move from their congested road to the new uncongested road until there is some sort of equilibrium. However, if you changed all the roads then in theory you could...

Why not? They've done all sorts of other crazy things in the name of efficiency? Gas Guzzler tax? JTR wants to make gas $6 a gallon in the name of efficiency. The feds are going to raise the C.A.F.E. limit and drive the US automakers out of business in the name of efficiency. Why is the...
