Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
the preponderance of the evidence is that it improves performance
My understanding of the science is that this is only true with occasional use, or when used to treat ADD. A cup every morning only feels like it wakes you up because without it, you're in withdrawal.
Still doesn't explain how I'm going to get HD-cable picture quality off the internet.
They mention buying from iTunes, don't they? That will get you HD, at least. I don't know about Amazon.
it wasn't the shitty sleep; it was the drug. I know me some sleep-dep feeling
Absolutely. The whole not being able to see in single vision that didn't resolve until the afternoon? Major trazadone dosage fail. So now I have to hope the lower dosage gets me good sleep tonight or tomorrow night. Because I will be calling her back Thursday to give her a blow by blow.
But that's moment-to-moment improvement, no? I mean, I guess it depends what the question is. Does a cup of coffee wake me up today? Yes it does, whether or not that's because of withdrawal.
You can get some iTunes TV shows and movies in HD.
Hulu Plus is HD, also
I've tried both, and there are clearly visible artifacts that are not there on cable.

I'm amazed at the difference coffee makes in helping The Boy to focus -- and that's on top of Ritalin. The Ritalin helps noticeably, but the caffeine on top of that also has a marked effect.

I was about to say that I *must* have a cup (a giant cup, okay?) to wake up, but yeah, I imagine it's more that I must have a cup to stave off the junkie shakes.

My TV is only 720, but I've never had that problem with iTunes.
Most of the HD channels I have on Time Warner are so compressed, I've found the picture quality on iTunes to be just as good or better. Doctor Who, specifically, is much better from iTunes than on cable.
I tend to notice compression artifacts in regular-def cable programming. I don't have HD cable, but the artifacts in iTunes HD seem much less noticeable.
In sort of related news Kitchen Confidential is on Hulu right now.
