For the year, yes, Carrie was.
Now, is she the best of all time.. heck no.
She did manage to sell over 5 million cd's. If you have heard her sing... Yep she can do that too. I think she will be around for many years to come.
So we kinda agree here. LOL
But she is the real deal..
Clay Aiken.. cough.. I could care less!
I do think Carrie Underwood is really good. She had, imo, the whole package to make it all the way when she was competing on the American Idol. I do like her songs and I think she's really hot. The last time I saw her perform, I did notice that she was a little skinny though. It seems that she lost a lot of weight or probably because she dated Tony Romo (and got dumped??). Ohhh well.
Clay Aiken is very talented as well but not really a huge fan. I do admire him A LOT for his work with people with disabilities.

Maybe old news but its new to me....so..it came a surprise when I learned that COD4 (at least for PS3 and 360) is rendered at 600p then upscaled. WOW! And I was bashing halo 3 when I learned it was at 640p. Then again, IW did a pretty good job with COD4.

The PS3 is great player if you don't mind it's lack of an IR port, lack of analog audio support and inability to bitstream the codecs. The other complaints I hear is that it is noisy and produces a lot of heat. I haven't owned one, so I can't say if it really is as much of a problem as some owners make it out to be.
Not having an IR port was a bummer. I also hate the fact that you have to get up and turn the switch to off to totally power down this unit (just like the PS2). On the side note, I did get the bluetooth remote but why can't it be just like the xbox where I can use my harmony remote?
I don't know about the noise claims. It sounds pretty quite to me. Why can't the xbox be as quiet as the PS3? Man....the 360 sounds like a grinder compared to it.[

Well at least WALMART tried.

Thanks for this TIP. When I got to the service menu 10, it says something like LAMP or LAMPLIFE then 2829. Does that mean I have used my lamp for 2,829 hours? WOW, a far cry from my hocus pocus estimate of less than 1200 hours. [If you search around on the net, you can get the "code" to enter the service menu and see just how many hours your lamp has on it. Just watch what you do in the menu.
]To access the service menu (see below):
!!! PLEASE BE ADVISED TAMPERING WITH YOUR SERVICE MENU MAY VERY WELL COMPLETELY DISABLE YOUR DISPLAY !!!
- Turn Melody off in the user menu
this allows entering the Service Menu from "power on" state without
using an additional lamp cycle. - With the set ON, press Power-Mute-1-8-2-Power in quick succession.
- Turn Melody off in the user menu

Yes I already contacted them and they are pointing to the amp as the possible culprit. I have to observe the problem again before I contact them for a resolution. Just want to check if any other forum members has an idea on what to check for.
Thanks

I have a PB12-ISD for more than 3 years now. Been having intermitent problems with it where once I turn my system on, I get distorted rumble on the sub (only when there is a signal present - no humming). I would turn it off then on again and the problem would disappear. However, this past week, the problem was persisting. Then yesterday it was back to normal again. I checked my cable for loose connection but everything looks ok. The surround speakers have no problems when the sub acts up.
Any ideas on what I need to check when it appears again?
Thanks

I've had my Samsung DLP since November 2004. I have not replaced the bulb yet butI figured I have had less than 1200 hours on it. I did replace the screen though.

Well this superman animated movie is NOT for the little kids so beware. There's actually head bashing, stompings, people shown being killed, etc. Honestly, I was not expecting that kind of display of violence on a superman animation or movie but still, it was fun to watch.

LOL.....Don't just take his word for it! EvenDon't resist, come on, it's nice over here...
has put her stamp of approval on the PS3! []

Exactly the reason why WB dropped one of the competing format (HD DVD).And reality posits that still more folks are more than satisfied with current and simply upscaled DVD standards - to the chagrin of the BR and HD-DVD folks.
If you want a good indication of the market, go to any WalMart, Costco, Fry's or Best Buy.
And then cry...
While a few may be satisfied with ONLY the most cutting edge capabilities, business reality dictates that those interests are not significant. Business simply does not have a big incentive to satisfy a <5% market share when a 70-80% market is available. And anyone expecting such is expecting that which has never dominated nor driven the real world market. And to guage anything less a failure is to ignore reality.
"The window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if
format confusion continues to linger," explained Warner Bros. CEO Barry
Meyer. "We believe that exclusively distributing in Blu-ray will
further the potential for mass market success and ultimately benefit
retailers, producers, and most importantly, consumers." -
I have FIOS and its OK. However, I would still prefer to have a disk type medium (Blu-Ray ofcourse) in my collection. Downloads just doesn't do it for me like what they have on Xbox Marketplace right now or Netflix (which I both have too). I want something that I can easily bring from one place to another. Show (only - never lend : lol ) to friends. Stack on my DVD movie rack or something with all it's "original packaging glory". But that's just me! [I wish I had Verizon FIOS. It would take me days to download a 13GB movie, let alone the 40GB to get the high bitrate audio and video suitable for my 106" projection screen and lossless audio. I'm not saying it won't get there, but it's not there now and won't be in my neck of the woods in the next several years.

That was a KILLER game. I've already finished the single player campaign. [:'(]. I'm crying because I wish there was more!
I put in Rainbow 6 Las Vegas after playing COD4.... I was blown away at how lack luster the graphics looked in Vegas compared to COD4. No comparison. COD4 was in a league all by itself.
I'm assuming you got it for the PS3. Is it the same as the 360 where you have EASY, NORMAL, HARD and VETERAN mode? I'm freakin trying to finish the game and I only have the Epilogue (Hijacking Rescue Mission/Mile High Club) in VETERAN to finish (and the 30 intels which is the easy part).
I've been trying for days! lol

haha....Bill denies ever having said that. On one interview, he said this...That swizzle-stick also said that 640k of RAM ought to be enough for anyone, and since the very day he made that statement, BG and MS has also been the PIONEER of pushing resource demands through the bloody stratosphere. You want to know what is really gonna happen with anything? Just listen to MS... it has historically been the exact OPPOSITE of MS's initial statement for any given item.
"I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that.
No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of
memory is enough for all time.""Meanwhile, I keep bumping into that
silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough.
There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor,
repeated again and again." -
Major studios supporting HD format: GAME OVER don't you think so?
- 20th Century Fox
- Walt Disney
- Lionsgate
- Warner Bros
- Sony
- MGM/UA
- Columbia TriStar - New Line & Fine Line
- Paramount
- NBC Universal

Well it could go the other way around too since electronics manufacturer would just be dishing out different models of BD players and competing with one another, it would eventually bring down the prices of the players (just like the DVD players when it first came out). Now once China mass produces this hardware, prices will hit rock buttom and consumers will eventually win.
Now I just need to get rid of my HD DVD addon and disks by finding "consumers who don't know better" asap. Do I hear ebay????? [

I wonder how much the pay-off was? Ohh well....it is what it is!
-
Yup....a knock out punch!

You did quote me originally when you responded so I was "correctly" assuming that your response was in reference to my post.Wow!
First, my reference was to the CUMULATIVE references to the chubby chick being both an object of affection and an inspiration for so many songs - of which many assume to be love songs. And Wonderful Tonight IS considered by MANY to be a wonderfully poignant love song! Swoon...
As far as what you were aware of, or were unaware, I am totally unaware! Worse still, I didn't care (does that sound sufficiently detached? ;-)) In other words, it was not in reference to YOU at all! So settle down!)
-
Never said it was. I was pertaining to Pattie being an inspiration for the songs and yes, I also know the history behind that song.The irony here is hilarious.
So "wonderful tonight" is a love song, huh????
-
Yes of course there's no comparison. But you would still know by the looks of Pattie today that she was stunning when she was younger. I don't know if Eric wrote a song for his current wife but he did 2 for Pattie (Wonderful Tonight and Layla).Ohhh...you removed your original post. Anyway, on an interview that was shown on TV recently, Pattie was asked who was the "love of her life" (between George and Eric)....her answer.....GEORGE!
Have you seen Pattie lately? Look at Clapton's current wfe and Pattie now and tell me he cares. Back in the day, wow, now , .....????

SVS Sub Distorted Rumble
in Home Theater
Posted
Resurrecting a zombie thread. Last time I posted on the forum was way back FEB 2008. 🤪
I bought my speakers RF35,RC35,RB35, SVS-PB12ISD some time around 2004. My Klipsch speakers are still going strong until now (yes!) but my sub "died" or should I say was unused around my last post Jan of 2008. SVS wanted to replace my sub's amp and was discounting it for $175 way back then even though it was out of warranty. Great to get a discount but decided not to take the offer. Never really had any inkling to replace it because, well, I didn't really miss it. One other reason is my surround was great. And lastly, the sub rocks the house (built in the late 50s but has undergone several renovations) and my wife complains of the trembles "lol".
Having said that, I recently decided to get the R-120SW because (1)It was my bday (2)it was on sale. 😊
My SVS is still down there. I received my new sub today but have not opened it yet. Hopefully, it would bring me years of enjoyment as well.....and that ends my SVS story.
