A sign of the end of times

It was edited as it fell into the "a link posted, but no opinion as to why it was posted" category.  I.e. it fell into the 'troll' pool.

It had nothing to do with the topic.  Blame me if you must.  I am the one who instructed the MP's to do away with 'link only' and/or cut-n-paste threads.

Rather than leave it up to someone to decide if the topic is appropriate, I told them to simply do it, regardless of the topic.  In other words, I wanted to avoid them being called biased.  They do not edit out of bias, then edit out of strict instruction with no room for gray areas.

I should have caught it myself, but I didn't.

The reason for the edits have been discussed in several other threads.  Do not take this as an oppertunity to take a shot at the MP's or myself.  It is strictly being offered as information.

It's a good policy, the 'fire & forget' threads are boring anyhow.

Back on topic, I've just gotten a Hauppauge PVR-250 from a friend.  Since it has onboard MPEG encoding, I might be able to try this MythTV out on an 800mhz box I have lying around.  With my firewire card in it, should be an interesting experiment.  Cheap HDTV PVR, here I come!

Im really having a hard time holing off on buying a HD tv. I hook em up everyday for customers and thru my company i can get a 50" DLP phillips for 900.00 they regularly go for about 2300 :O

on a side note, a few years ago i heard of this company trying to get a new kind of dvd that was clear, im not sure if it was the holographic one but, supposedly you could put about 400 gbs per side on it. They had built  special dvd player using a blue laser. I dont think its the blue ray stuff but i could be wrong
Crap now I gotta redo my cool sig.....crap!!! I cant remeber how to do it all !!!!!
