Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I got a little Samsung for the bedroom, based on Drew's good experience.

You don't need to join them. Any un-RARing software will do that automatically.

Weirdly enough, they're not RAR files, according to my source. They just say they're RAR files, and after I join them I should be able to change the file extension to .avi and watch with VLC. I do not know why someone would label something RAR if it were not, but ::shrugs::

Lord knows I have no love for MySpace, but I don't think Intermix, who sold it to NewsCorp in 2005 for $580M, would consider it an "epic flop."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was just thinking what Jon said when I looked at that list. Totally dominated the space for several years != fail, even if you are trying to write the 80 millionth end-of-decade top-int list.

Yeah, it's largely been turned from in favor of newer, better options now, but so has VHS. Didn't make either a flop in their heyday.

As I have said in the past, I'm a big fan of Samsung for LCD panels.

but the Samsung isn't on sale! :) I think I need to go for the longevity. Thanks for the advice.

The short answer is that there's a reason the Vizio displays are constantly on sale.

Har, that's probably true. There were a TON of them at Costco. Quality is better, I know.
