The BenQ fp937s looks like a very nice choice. Does the Viewsonic have a glass surface like the Sony? Reading the specs, it gives the glass surface a 2H glare rating it looks like. The FP937s is looking the best. I wonder if the 250 cd/m2 brightness is going to be an issue. Has anyone seen the...
I just got back from CompUSA and they had the older versions of the two models in question. They both had 25 ms response times. While I was there I noticed this really nice looking Samsung 21" TFT with a 500:1 contrast ratio and you could really see the difference it made. It didn't have any...
Does the Sony have a glass pane protecting the screen ? I saw a Sony the other day at BB but I don't remember what model it was and it had a glass pane over the screen and of coarse it produced glare that would be a deal breaker for me. I'm hoping that this one that I linked to above dosn't have...
I'm shopping for a gaming LCD monitor and These two look really nice.
The BanQ
and...
The Sony
Both are 19" and the BenQ has 16 ms response time whereas the Sony has a 12 ms response time.
The Sony looks better to me looking at the specs. What do the rest of you think? I'd like...
I believe that the intended use is to play multiplayer NASCAR while hosting the game at the same time. It sounds like it just comes back to cost vs. performance. If I can get a processor that is already 20% faster for same or less money than the hyperthreaded one, then HT wouldn't offer enough...
A friend of mine is getting ready to upgrade his computer for gaming purposes. He likes the racing games, NASCAR and such. Would hyper threading P4 proccessor be the way to go? Or what about dual Xeons? Or just get an AMD?
I'd try alcohol. If that doesn't work, then maybe mineral spirits. It seems like that stuff that won't dissolve with alcohol will dissolve with mineral spirits and vice versa. Then there's always lacquer thinner. Basically, I'd try different solvents.
1. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes- I don't really need to explain this.
2.Ghandi - I don't know why, but I just cannot stand this movie.
3. Stranded- A new movie that just came out- some space flick about being stranded on mars- worst acting ever in a movie.
Armageddon doesn't suck. Only because...
Well I made the trip to the Audio/Video store yesterday and I'm pretty convinced that you need to get a CRT based rear projection TV for the best image quality. On the DLP they had there, the blacks just didn't look very black. They had like a bluish grey haze to them. The CRT based set on the...
I guess I need to take a trip to the local high end TV store that carries all the latest and greatest to see for myself the advantages of LCOS and DLP. Maybe tomorrow.
The WS-73711 goes for around $6,000. I should be able to get it for under $5,000 I believe.
What does "LCOS" mean? Sounds expensive. lol 82" mmmm
I'm reading a review of the WS-73909 73" which goes for around $7800 online...
I like the idea of the integrated HD tuner. They should all have them if they claim to be a HDTV. Looks like with the Pioneer, you have to buy one seperately.
The front projection is a little more than I want to spend, and I want something bright enough that I don't have to draw the shades. I might spend up to $5,000, but I may not have to. I have a United Consumers Club membership, and I can usually beat the crap out of any retail price. I'm hoping I...
I'm starting to look around at getting a large rear projection TV ( over 60 "). So far, after doing a few searches for reviews, it appears that the Pioneer Elite series has the best IQ with Mitsubishi coming close with good bang for the buck. I want some kind of ultimate home theater set up with...
<FONT face=Verdana size=1><FONT face=Arial size=2>"What's the oldest piece of hardware in your computer that you still use daily?"

I've got an XP 2700+ Rev. B , an MSI K7N2-L Delta, and 2 sticks of Crucial PC3200. Not much room to overclock the CPU core. Well, maybe a little. Can I lower the multiplier on the XP 2700 without having to unlock it, so that I can get more FSB speed. Is there much hope for much more FSB speed...
Apparently, any news source that reports that Weapons of Mass Destruction have been found, either Nuclear or Chemical, will be determined to be a "Crap" news source by those in denial.
Iraq produces 2.1 million barrels of oil a day. At 35 dollars a barrel, that would be about 70 million dollars a day. If that money were distributed among the Iraqi population of 22 million, that would be over 3 dollars a day for every man, woman, and child. They could tax it and give 2 dollars...
Any Hummer 2 you see out there is going to be a brand new 50,000 dollar vehicle. I don't blame them for not wanting to scratch it all up right away. Give them a few years to get broken in and people will be riding them rough out in the brush. Probably the people that buy them second hand would...
I think you people may be mistaken about the H2. Link
Added: It looks like to me that the Land Cruiser is a soccer moms car. Link "Ready for Any Road, Paved or Not" - impressive
Thank you. That second link explains maybe why they haven't beeen used yet as they would be extremely difficult for terrorists to detonate. Or maybe they're waitng for just the right moment when they will have the most affect. The terrorists seem to have a great deal of patience. They only have...
If it takes 2 or 3 people to handle a "suitcase" nuclear weapon, that really makes no difference. Such a weapon could easily be placed into an ordinary van and driven into a heavily populated area. Granted, 1 kilo ton is small for a nuclear bomb, it would be a devastating terrorist weapon.
As...
Do you remember that special on 20/20 ( I think it was 20/20 ) where they smuggled a simulated suitcase bomb into the US and they succeeded. They never even got close to getting caught.
I think that all the suitcase nukes are all already inside the US. It's just too easy too smuggle stuff inside the US. Why would the terrorists NOT have the suitcase nukes inside the US.
The UN says time should be given. The problem is that the US doesn't have the luxury of time. If we are going to go in we must do so now. If the UN will pay the bill, then maybe we could pull back and then attack next fall instead. Still going to be the same end result, except maybe Sadam will...
I found this link to be quite an interesting read. It may have some things blown out of proportion. Or does it? The future doesn't look so bright.
Edit: fixed the link, Sorry about that
"In recent weeks, North Korea has escalated tensions by test-firing two short-range missiles and intercepting a U.S. reconnaissance plane off the country's east coast."
I think it's more than just an exercise. Not much more. Just a response of some sort to warn North Korea.
Edit: spelling
I voted Monday, but now I'm thinking it will be Tuesday. Here's a link that might help give a clue. Bush says tomorrow is last day. But tonight is tomorrow in Iraq. Tomorrow here in the US will be tomorrow night in Iraq and the US will attact at night. Here's the link.
To me a patriot is someone who is willing to make a sacrifise to serve for their country. There are a lot of people that talk all kinds of crap, but when the going gets tough, they will bail out in an instant.
As for Hitler being a patriot, I think your wrong because I think Hitler was in it...
