Yeah, I had to learn how to sell on there because they had everything all screwy.

I just visited today, looks the same as it has for a long time now.

So why didn't S-Video become standard in the 90s?

Why do people connect DVD player's via composite to big cheapo lcd HDTVs and marvel at how much "better" the picture looks than on their old CRT?

People generally don't know much about video quality or TVs. Many people don't even know how to adjust their TV's tint.
Since this signature affects old posts, I'm leaving a message here in case anyone searches for my username. This account died in early 2013. I am no longer a fundamentalist.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

On other topics. Words, they don't mean what you think they do. All of them.

Saw a review of Final Fantasy X done by Toonami today. It made me want to pick up that game again and actually beat it this time. It actually gave me goosebumps.

It's off and on. They're probably still testing it.

There are also people who honestly can't see the difference. One of my brothers swears he can't tell the difference between the video quality of composite vs component. For those sorts of people, fancy cords don't matter.



Commonsensemedia.org is a joke. I was checking it out tonight, and quickly found 2 things that make no sense. First, they called The Simpsons a "cult TV show" on this page. Simpsons is a cult classic? Then they said that one should be 13 to watch Ren and Stimpy (a kid's show!) while they gave the OK to 12 year olds to watch Simpsons. :?:

What's to learn? Vendor Central hasn't changed a bit.

Your saying we should protect gay teens by treating them differently, separating them from other people, and not allowing them to join in the same things as others. That logic seems a bit flawed to me. Your essentially saying we should segregate to protect, but segregation is a bad idea. You were also overtly insulting to gay people in your post.
Rather than go back and forth, the obvious solution here is to integrate gay teens excluded from the Boy Scouts into the Girl Scouts.
I just... I don't... I don't even know what to say to you.
