    ok, the fixie thing has gone too far

    I will relate to you my one Chicago Fixie experience... Last years LATE ride, 2 am Elston ave... I was rolling about 20 mph and Mr Fixie streaks by. The guy was flying, I couldn't get up to him at 27 mph (No big ring).. Flying right? Well he gets clear of the crowd and goes into that 'skid...

    The Watchmen

    Having only recently picked up the book and read it, I can say the movie was pretty dam good. The montage thing that filled in some backstory was good, and the movie didnt feel 2:40 long. Comedian and Rorsach are my faves. Blue dong not so much. Nite owl sex scene overdone too. Thumbs down on...

    Plasma vs LCD

    Read my post. Side by side, the ones I watched, the blacks produced by both seemed identical. 100% black versus 99% dark dark grey = same to me. And most consumers. I hope this was a poke at IH8Rice. I use eyes for looking, not digital color meter implants. At some point people should just...

    Plasma vs LCD

    BrianHCM, is that a pair of Forte's? And as far as someone saying LCD's dont produce black, you havent been looking lately. They have gotten pretty dam black. So much so, it was a non issue for me when I went to ABT to scope em out. Couldnt discern any real difference, so I discounted that "...

    Plasma vs LCD

    IS the original poster's budget $1099? 720p will suffice, as all broadcast are now in 720, I believe. I heard Directv is going to so some 1080p stuff next year, so I figured I would go with that. And if you plan on PS3 or blu ray discs, 1080p will give you some great pics. That said I cant...

    Plasma vs LCD

    I just got a 52" samsung 750...It is BRIGHT. I had to dim it a level. and the viewing angles are fantastic...I think LCD's have an edge, but a cheap LCD vs a good Plasma wont fair as well. Your going to have to go out and play with them yourself. Stores always have the best feeds running to...

    Big Screen TV Help

    Probably a good idea. Can it hurt? Do you have kids? My neighbor lost his LCD to his 3 year old via hockey stick. LUCKILY Best Buy didnt even bother to check the contents when he returned it (4 weeks old!). He bought this : CLICK It doesnt look too bad, its a sheet of acrylic with a bend...

    Well executed troll

    100 pages??? Oddly enough I think the poster is getting his pics from some kinda myspace. I saw another thread like that somewhere, some asian chick on the hood of a car? Someone figured out the original source and used all her pics to play it up alongside the OP before she set the account to...
