    *** Official WATCHMEN Discussion Thread

    All this talk about the music cues and no one's mentioned the best one of all.. Tears For Fears "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" playing softly muzak style under Ozy's talking. Loved that! Overall (as a fan of the book for 20 years) I loved the film. I thought it was the best it could...

    New Panasonic DMP-BD10a Announcement - $599 - 5 free BDs

    I connected the player via HDMI with an HDMI->DVI adapter and the issue is resolved. The BD10A now properly formats all discs and even does the same thing that the RP-91 used to do which is present all 4:3 discs within an anamorphic 16:9 frame with black pillar boxes. So, if connected via...

    New Panasonic DMP-BD10a Announcement - $599 - 5 free BDs

    I called Panasonic technical support and the rep came right out and stated that yes the player is flawed and they have no plans to fix it. So, very disappointing, especially given the fact that the RP-91 which was manufactured SEVEN YEARS ago, did not have this problem and handled 4:3...

    New Panasonic DMP-BD10a Announcement - $599 - 5 free BDs

    Got the unit this morning, just finished hooking it all up and going through all my disc types! :) So far everything is great except for one fairly big flaw... I'm using component cables, I have the BD10A set to 16:9 and 1080i. All 4:3 material is stretched out the full width of the...

    New Panasonic DMP-BD10a Announcement - $599 - 5 free BDs

    I bought the BD10AK. SHould be here in 2 days. I really needed the DVD-Audio support and the multi-channel analog outputs as my Sony ES receiver does not have support for the HD audio formats. I can live with the profile and the lack of BD live for the time being. If I need to upgrade in a...

    New Panasonic DMP-BD10a Announcement - $599 - 5 free BDs

    Hey All! Is the Panny BD10A the only Blu-Ray player that will decode DVD-Audio? I was looking at the 10AK but cannot tell if it decodes DVD-Audio as well. I'm looking to replace my circa 2001 Panny RP-91 with a new player and if I can get Blu and DVD-Audio in the same unit, I'll go for...

    The Trials And Tribulations Of An Air-Traffic Controller At JFK International

    No kidding what? You think there's an expiration date on the loss of family members? I'm glad that the memory of that tragedy brought you a chuckle, but perhaps in the future you'll refrain from the urge to share your insensitivity with the rest of the world.

    The only thing that worries me about an iMac....

    Hard drives are user replaceable on every Apple notebook. I've replaced at least 6 with no problems whatsoever. There's still a lot of Apple ignorance out there in terms of what can or cannot be upgraded.

    Cop outburst caught on dashcam

    Really? I thought that's what was called FREEDOM. None of those things are in violation of ANY LAW. Regardless, no matter how much of a prick the kid was or was not being... the officer must adhere to professional code. He is the "keeper of the law" and is expected to be above power-trip...

    Apple Care question

    No, there's no "one and done" rule like there is with some EWPs. AppleCare covers the machine totally for 3 years from date of puchase regardless of when you buy the AppleCare. My point, as has been clarified, was why spend the $$ for the EWP while you're still under mfg warranty. Typically...

    Apple Care question

    You get 3 years total. That's why one should never buy AppleCare until the end of the first year. If something goes wrong in the first year, you're covered by warranty, and buying AppleCare would be wasting money if nothing further goes wrong. Wait till just before the end of the warranty...

    New Apple Keyboard: My Impressions

    Just to offer a contrary opinion as a Mac user for more than 10 years... I hate this keyboard. It simply feels wrong and like a huge step backwards for me. I was typing on chicklet keys in the 80's with a TI-99, I do not see the need to return to that in 2007. I use Apple's bluetooth...

    Miami Vice: The Complete Series Boxed Set

    I have all 5 seson sets of Miami Vice and that's perfectly fine with me. I have no need at all to re-buy these as a set.

    Why Mac?

    Obviously I echo all the pro-Mac sentiments here. But, seeing as how you're 16, you may want to keep in mind that if you want to game, then the Mac platform is not for you. While there are great games for Mac, the platform pales in comparision to what's available on PCs and Windows. Even using...

    Those are not MFSL discs at all. In fact they had nothing to do with them. DTS Entertainment put those out. Lots of misinformation in this thread folks... please make sure you know what you're talking about before posting :)

    General questions about MacBooks

    This is a very bad idea. Odds are she will have to turn in papers and projects in Microsoft Office format. Additionally, handouts and shared documents will be traded in that format as well. It would be penny-wise but pound-foolish to not get Office 2004 for Mac. As decent as OpenOffice is, it is...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    Firstly, they could, oh, I don't know... pick a night and time and keep the fricking show there! Is that too much to ask? Bouncing the thing all over the schedule is never going to help ratings. Secondly, the promotion for the show was a little off. They tried to play off the "relationship"...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    Cancelling VM is just one of a myriad of reasons why the "CW" will never be a major player. They have some of the most out-of-touch people running the programming and scheduling there it's almost unfathomable. Anyone who laughed at Fox when they first came out should be bent over throwing up by...

    American Idol - Season 6

    I am LMFAO at all the whiners in this thread. :laugh: There was simply no way that Melinda was going to outlast both Blake and Jordin. She had virtually none of the youth vote, and quite honestly, she was a pedestrian singer. Good, yes, but as bland as Vanilla. Both Jordin and Blake have...
