Upcoming Deal @ Costco $899 Sceptre 30" 16:9 HDTV-Ready LCD TV 3/28/05 through 4/3/05

saw this side by side with the sharp and the plasmas at costco. this set was superior to the sharp. there did seem to be some blurring with fast action (was watching baseball) that was less present on the plasma. but as for clarity, you couldn't beat this monitor.

27" 16:9 HDTV-Ready LCD TV deal back at costco.com

maybe i'm missing something, but i've seen this tv and its, well mediocre. at costco they have it side by side with a panny which costs 2x as much, but the panny LOOKS great. saving my money for another few months until the panny is cheaper.

HOT: 27" LCD TV from Outpost $997 SHIPPED

compared to pany, samsung and sharp this is a pitiful lcd. cheap. NOT inexpensive for what you get. most striking is the poor contrast and washed out blacks and an overall haze in side-by-side comparisons. is it just me?

Recording TV with DVD Burner

likewise, if you already have a tivo-equivalent dish dvr, you can get something like a pioneer dvd recorder. you'd have the choice to record directly to the dvd (not recommended) or record to hard drive and then play it while recording to dvd (recommended). few who have used them would argue...

hacking a flash demo

i'm new to flash and i'd like to learn from the demos on the web that i like. i looked at flash deconstructor programs, but they require that the demo be saved before they can work on it. i examined programs that 'save' flash files, but they don't appear to be what i'm looking for either. is...

NASA verifies Einstein general theory of relativity.

its a fascinating observation. perhaps another plank in the old unified field theory. funny how today all we worship are musicians, actors and athletes. back in einy's day there were some who actually worshipped scientists . . .

Who is going to win the election?

that's a bit like asking if there is going to be another damage-causing hurricane in florida this year. we can know some factors but not others, and thus can't say anything with high reliability. all we can say is what would happen if the election were today. for bush: -- worst in iraq...
