What is the refresh rate of the tv? 60hz?
Rubbing Plasmas won't do a thing, they're made of glass, lol. Dead blue pixel is still there, but I've come to realize that it is impossible to notice unless I'm about a foot from the screen, displaying a wholly blue screen. Oh the joys of 1080P. It's been running break in images from here (http://www.eaprogramming.com/) for the past 25 hours now. I watched a movie today! It was a DVD of "The Final Countdown". Lots of F-14's and Corsairs in it. OK movie, cool footage of jets though. This TV is amazing. I must say that I did not notice any flickering when watching regular content, only on the white and gray break in slides did I notice flickering. Last night I was thinking I was going to have to return it and get a shitty LCD, but I'm not worried about that anymore. Oh yeah, it's a TC-P42S2. Lol at this Mac failure: ATTENTION MAC USERS! The MacIntosh computing platform has a bizarre need to create two separate files when saving onto a non-Mac formatted disk or drive: one is a data fork, and the other a resource fork. Rather than explain why this is a dumb way to design a file system, I'll cut to the chase: as with pretty much every other electronic device in the non-Mac world, your plasma TV can only understand data forks, not resource forks. |
If someone was to ever do a Klaus Nomi movie, Conan O'Brien would be the perfect person to play him visually. Just noticed today how much they look alike.

How do I get this bitch out? http://www.amazon.com/Gator-Grip-ETC.../dp/B000065CJ8 And use a proper 6 point wrench or socket next time to avoid stripping them. Adjustable wrenches are fail. |

Seriously, snap rings are the worst fucking idea ever. Whoever came up with them should have their balls removed. Fucking stupid things.

I have a turbo still in pieces in a box because the stupid fucking clip broke the pliers that are ment to squeeze the fucker... it shot across the room into the wall and left a hole. |

Tuesday is my BDay, I'm celebrating by buying a 02 Honda Insight for my daily 140mi round trip commute to work. Should end up saving me up to $300/mo in gas, $200/mo minimum. I already test drove it and put down a deposit, gonna be a fun ride and should keep me out of wreckless driving speeds like I do now. Car will pay for itself in gas savings in less than 2 years. After I sell my current daily I will be netting that savings immediately since I was already financing a car. I plan on keeping it until I can no longer buy parts to repair it. Hopefully another 20 years :P
I've already researched the battery and I know where to source the cells, build a trickle charger for monthly balances, and what analyzer to use to individually rebalance and test cells for a full rebuild. Needless to say, I'm not worried about the battery pack costs. |

Not interested at all in a motorcycle, I've already given a ACL, LCL, and PCL to the R6 I used to own. I'll stick to seat belts and airbags and still get my 65MPG. I don't see the Insight looking any gayer than a miata. Its an engineering work of genius really, even compared to current gen cars.

Having been the owner of a CRX HF, I know exactly what I'm getting. Thanks though.

Besides, its about the money...what other car will save me around $300/month? Thats like 1 Apple stock a month. In 5 years those will be worth at least 2x what they are now. Not saying I'm buying Apple stock, but you get my point. For a commuter car I could give a fuck how little power the car has, how much fucking power does a stock miata have...and how much times does it spend in turns vs in a straight line.
And as much as you might try to fight it, even with a turbo a miata looks pretty fucking gay unless its killing it on a track. |
