2005 Remembrance
The meltdown of Michael Jackson.Actually, I feel mostly pity and not anger towards Michael Jackson. Although I was not into his style of music, no one could deny his talent. Wonder why someone who seemingly has everything going for him has a total...

DLP or LCD what do you think
I believe that 3 chip DLP's are only used for projectors and not for TV sets. Texas Instruments, owns the patent for the DLP chip. I also believe that they are the sole manufacturer, and have not licensed any other corporation to manufacture this ...

What are the best drop in subs for a 12AU7??

Hey, we don't get no respect

Does Blockbuster Edit Their Movies?
Sugarbrie, I meant that the editing was done by the distributors FOR Blockbuster, and not BY Blockbuster. I am not talking about cutting a rental release to get an "R" rated version from an "NC-17" film. I'm talking about cutting scenes to "clean-...
