QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 12:54 AM) Pretty uneducated on this stuff, so I'm seeking some advice, on a 46" LED TV how crucial is the 60Hz/120Hz difference, particularly with sports/Blu-Ray/gaming? For Blu-Ray the native speed is 24fps (the speed of film). The 120 hz divides by 24 evenly, so the frames are repeated evenly (no judder).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) I do think Frank will get an extra boost of support from the morality police amongst the writers. They have been quick to punish the PEDs guys, by contrast that means they need to reward the "clean" guys. Frank is the face of the clean players. I think he gets in with around 90% of the vote. Get ready to hear some national guys say "How do we know for sure he was clean?"

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 11, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) Wasn't this a movie a few years back? This one?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 07:28 PM) No, he wasn't. There was a time these cases were real, and actually went to court. And there was no upside to going to court. If you went, and won, you'd end up owing about 3250 in lawyer/court costs (more than what they asked to settle), and in the off chance you lost, you'd be losing even more. It wasn't until a few years later the courts started striking these suits down and they became easily defendable. IIRC, this was when they were living on 36th Lowe -- which would make it around 1998. I believe O.J. Simpson got busted for this.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 11:31 AM) I don't see the Bulls winning against the Heat in the playoffs, but saying the Bulls aren't very good was pretty hilarious. It wasn't me who said that, and I agree with you.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) You can't do it to other TVs that isn't connected to whatever system you have in your house though. The IR blaster is a really cool thing to have. This reminds me of the All in the Family episode where the guy had the remote doorbell ringer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRm9hTi5Nwc

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) I was waiting to see who would be the person to declare the season over in the first half of the first game... The season's not over, but it will end with Miami winning 3 in a row. I have very little hesitation saying that.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 08:36 PM) Is a new iPad mini coming out soon? May sell my iPad 3 and get it. Yes, with retina display, in November.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 01:07 PM) You wouldnt download them, you would google search it. Downloading anything via email that isnt something you are expecting is ridiculous to me. But then again, its an age gap thing. I was kidding. Wasn't one of the big email viruses going around a while back about Britney Spears pictures or video?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) Maybe it's because we grew up with email and I am in technology but I dont understand people just flat out opening attachments. It makes no sense to me. Well if someone sends me nude Britney Spears pictures, I want to see them.

So Apple updated the IPads, MacBook Pros, and Mac Pro(revealed price, available in December) today. That was expected. They also made the upgrade to Mavericks available, for free.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 05:22 AM) BTW, is there a little irony that the most conservative leaders voted to keep people home and collecting (eventually) a government check without working and the liberals wanted people to actually work for their government check? No, because I don't subscribe to right-wing radio's dog-whistle meaning of liberal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 15, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) He's referencing a couple people (Rep Gohmert, Sarah Palin, Texas's Lt. Gov) who have said that if the U.S. defaults on its debt then it should be considered an impeachable offense. it's out there but has about as much support so far as you'd expect. They're pushing him into a corner to invoke the 14th amendment.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 15, 2013 -> 04:16 PM) Do you think that they just miscalculated and thought Obama would give in? The most frustrating part of this for me is I just cant see the strategy. I wouldnt mind it as much if I really believed that Republican voters wanted the reps to do this. That is the point of representation. But this time I just feel like a certain few are doing what they want and dont really give a damn about anyone else. Laying the groundwork for impeachment. They hate him THAT much. (Not all, but the lunatic fringe)

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 8, 2013 -> 02:25 PM) What was he trying to spell? And why would that word be in his auto-correct? Tigger. In addition to Yosemite, Hundred Acre Wood has also been closed.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 8, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) OOPS! http://twitchy.com/2013/10/08/awkward-wh-a...s-n-word-tweet/ Huh? What was wrong with that tweet?

So now veterans are going to get the shaft. http://www.nbcwashington.com/investigation...-226821331.html

4K touch Mac display? http://9to5mac.com/2013/10/07/will-the-mac...mac-looks-like/ It looks pretty cool, but I don't see the practical use that would justify the (probably high) cost.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) You knew he was doomed the second he got involved in that aspect of the business. He didn't seem cut out for it, but I'll miss the occasional humor he brought.

What did I miss? I tuned in and everybody is around the mound.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) He is American, regardless of where he was born. So try again. He actually has dual-citizenship, but I still don't know what you want me to try again.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) Birthirism. Gotta love it. try again. Try what again? He was born in Canada, period.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 05:08 PM) They would just be called an uncle tom, or told they don't really represent that race/ethnicity. Look at the people saying Ted Cruz isn't Latino. He is as much Latino as Obama is black. He's also Canadian.

Boardwalk Empire, Wow! I can't believe
