You wouldn't need component, but it will look a lot better than composite.

I feel kinda crappy today. Just of those days when you feel out of everything and just kinda want to sleep. Its not even really on the physical side, its more of the mental side. I'm just kind of aggrivated at everything. I'm stressed from FFA stuff, I'm ready for school to end, but not ready for some of the seniors to leave. I don't know where things are going this summer, I'm aggrivated about my weight and lack of job (in High School, nonetheless) Still not sure about a vehicle. Schools at the point where we are either doing a ton of work or watching movies we've seen thousands of times (if I see Remember the Titans on more time, I'll stab somebody with a soft tip sharpie). I want to change my hair, no idea how. And I wish I could just go and hang out with some people around New Braunfels or San Marcos or Austin or something and just shop around and bullshit and do fun stuff. But, I have nobody that'd do that that I hang out with.

Oh, and I'm hungry.

Great price! Agree, might as well utilize the HD capabilities. Any PS2 or PS3 Component cable will work. You can even utilize the DVI input with a simple HDMI to DVI conversion cable. For audio you still need to use the RCA cables.

Why is it so difficult to create nuclear weapons? Isn't it convenient that something so dangerous also happens to be so difficult for terrorists and dictatorships to create? It seems like technology has advanced so much, with today's cellphones being more powerful than military supercomputers of the 1960s, yet these ill-meaning criminals are unable to duplicate something that we were able to make in the 1940s?

I'm getting really pissed off right now, because every search engine link I click besides wikipedia for last two days or so on my home computer takes me to a website that has nothing to do with what I'm searching or is a freaking search engine inside of a link that should be legit. I'm getting aggrivated, because I really want to look some stuff up but can't.

Look up google redirect virus. And prepare to spend the next 6 hours trying to eliminate it.

All this nuke talk...

In high school there was a substitute science/math teacher that we found out loved to talk about nukes. Every time we had him as a sub we'd ask about them and then he'd proceed to spend the entire class talking about how they work and drawing diagrams on the board.
