    Pah. Money is as nothing to one who controls the melange.

    I must drink beer. Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to flow over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the beer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    It is by beer alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Coors that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire foam. The foam becomes a warning. It is by beer alone I set my mind in motion.

    Seriously, last I heard Blu-Ray wasn't flying very well with the people that know about that sort of thing.

    I can't stand the concept of Blu-Ray. I mean, what's the point? It can't be that much better that it would warrant total elimination of DVD's. I hope it goes the way of Betamax (though we were actually a Beta family).

    I didn't really like the Dune movies (the old one or the new SciFi miniseries). I think the SciFi series could have done it right had they not filmed everything on a cheap sound stage.

    It's not. Toshiba was smart: they subsidized the heck out of the first generation HD-DVD players so they sold for half of what Blu-Ray players did. As a result, they sold out the entire production run of the first-gen players. It didn't help that Blu-Ray has had a ton of production problems, either.

    Also didn't help that the first couple runs of Blu-Ray discs insisted on using MPEG-2 compression instead of the more advanced VC-1. The resulting discs came out, well, not so good compared to the VC-1 compression standard on HD-DVD. Most of the Blu-Ray studios have finally moved to VC-1, and their discs are looking a lot better. Still, the only real technical advantage a Blu-Ray disc has over HD-DVD is higher storage capacity, but it's been shown pretty conclusively that there's plenty of room on an HD-DVD for a three hour movie at 1080p.

    My name is a killing word.
    I got a bad mustache
    a recurring rash
    and not a lot of cash.
    I spend it on my stash.
    Man it's good to be a geek!

    I read Dune when I was in the Army. It was major suckage then, so I must assume it's major suckage on the tube too. Hopefully you didn't pay a lot for this POS.
