I always thought this was a tribute to: Adkai Stevenson: "Do you, Ambassador Zorin, deny that the USSR has placed and is placing medium- and intermediate-range missiles and sites in Cuba? Yes or no? Don’t wait for the translation. Yes or no"

The best I have ever heard was that 75% of statistics are made up on the spot. :)

John_Berger - I was not trying to "spin" it:) I was simply stating that most people who refer or mention the McDonald's case have no idea of the actual facts behind it. In fact, the point of the site that I referred to is that the spin was negative on the suit, depsite the lack of knowledge of...

Brettb You can sue me:)

Hmmmm.. Can you handle a differing opinion? I find that most people who discuss the McDonald's coffee case (know affectionately as the spill heard 'round the world) do not know any of the actually facts of the matter. I would recomend if you are interested in further reading to see...

That is correct. In Michigan, it is not blackmail, it is extortion, a 20-year felony!! To propose accepting money in lieu of reporting a crime is extortion. I don't suggest it. From what Jason_H described, again in Michigan, sounds like a violation of the consumer protection act. Sue Best...

Lowes link is back up. Thanks

You do not need line of sight for a sub. However, it has been suggested, that before you place your sub, you put it in the "prime" listening and then crawl around and see where it sounds best. I tried it (thinking myself crazy) and believe it or not, it became VERY clear what corner the sub...

BobbyS-- I have a similar setup to what you are looking at. First, absolutely ONLY get the HLN series. The HLM is last year (2002's) model, and the HLN series, firmware 214 and up, include many features you may not want now, but will crave in the future. You may get a great price on an HLM, but...

This is obviously WAY off topic at this point, so I will continue the madness. If a person ever claims to be a lawyer, ask what state bar he is registered with, and for his mailing address. In Michigan we have license numbers (and many other states do as well) which it would be well to ask...

You want to know the BEST part about "Sweetest Day?" It was a holiday "created" by Hallmark, recognized by many states in the Midwest, But NOT IN KANSAS!! So what, you say? Guess where Hallmark's headquarters are??!!:)

I bought my wife a bracelet for the wedding. Of those who ANSWERED:) it would appear that Jewelry is the predominate choice.

This post has me divided. On one hand, I genuinely believe the you should enjoy your job. No, that that every day is as fun as an amusement park, but that you can look forward to it (at least most of the time.) If you HATE your job--get out. You are taking years off your life. For example--I...

Assuming you have an outside antenna, I would recommend an amplifier/pre-amplifier. I currently split to 4 (after the amplifier), and this made a HUGE difference. One of the splits is to HDTV, but not having a tuner, I cannot (yet) tell you of the improvement to HDTV

First of all, I understand that this tv needs to be calibrated by Video Essentials or the equivalent. I, too, am waiting, so I have not done that yet. (I own the HLN 5065 which is the same as yours) One adjustment that is almost mandatory is to reduce the Gamma to 0 or 1. You would need to...

[font=arial] trying to figure out why the messages are scrunched.

Congratulations. The 60's must be a HUGE difference. I have had more comments from family/friends about how loud they will play without sounding "strained," and remaining clear. Now for the bad news... the bite of the upgrade bug cannot be cured. Next will be the sub (agree w/mike) and then...

I have an Integra 7.2 which, as you may know, is made by onkyo. On that, I have a setting that automatically resets the volume to a number every time you turn it on. (I have it at 25). Perhaps you also have this setting in the Menu. Sorry, no help for the other problem

Believe it or not, that is actually a civil infraction in Michigan. (No, NOT hitting a cop, the fellow at the light.) Called "impeding Traffic." If the event occurs again, get his license number (most important) and call the police. Be prepared to have to testify at his hearing. And be aware...

I'd rather have two 5's than a 10

Jim, I have the Integra 7.2 with the 1205. I assume the Denon has the mini-plug for the 12v trigger? if so, radio shack sells a wire that works perfectly. Mini-plug to two-wire that you connect at the screws on the back of the 1205. Others have cut a mini-plug and connected the two wires as...

Steve, part of it is what you like, and WAF. Sure, if you spend $6000 you will get a beautiful shelf, and if you spend $60, it will not be as nice. Where in-between do you balance beauty and price?? I bought a rack from dynamichometheater. They delivered what was promised timely, and I...

Sorry for your problem. Call or e-mail Adcom. I am going through a similar problem with a Parasound 855 with a bad input jack. They are servicing it. It sounds as if at this time it is out of the possiblity of you fixing it yourself.

Same problem with IE 6

This is fascinating. Question -- if an 11 year old boy broke into a liquor cabinet, became drunk, and then drove his parent's car, causing a collision which seriously injured someone, would we just consider this "hijinks" and write it off?? I doubt it. Most would say that this boy would need...

C'mon - what about Ravel's Bolero and "10"

I always Liked Goldfinger's personalized license plate -- AU-1. Think Periodic Table.

It would have been interesting to ask him how the DVHS would show 5000 lines of resolution on a tv that is limited to 1098:)
