Well, hijacking or not, next the HDTV debacle. When you go look at them at a place such as Walmart those TV are really not high definition. 1024x768 is not high definition. 1050lines of vertical resolution I think is the standard for high definition. So, in the end, because people will not buy a $3000 or so or even more or less depending on size TV set, the converters are coming out this month.

http://www.dtvanswers.com/dtv_converterbox.html

just because the government is spending $1.5 billion dollars to give you up to two coupons worth $40 dollars for a converter box. Guess what, even at the price mentioned there of only $40-$70 for a converter box, I guess that will do. Why? I have VHS yet, and Beta (yes - and it was still better) and old movies anyway. Only some are DVD's and I watch those on my computer with my new widescreen computer monitor. At 1920 x 1200 resolution (although like an LCD or cheap one) it will handle 1050 lines of resolution and perhaps just a graphic card may do also (but usually I tend to shy away from those type of graphic cards because usually the resolution has been less - but I am sure someone will make something to hook up something for the computer and HDTV somehow) it looks fine for what I have now anyway which is usually just StarGate SG-1 series and cheap movies. Blu-ray I do not need, and I doubt if I will spend money on everything that comes out new. Anyway, Blu-ray has won, so that I guess will be standard now (until something new comes out).

just in the News today over there at the BBC.

Anyway if I wanted to spend $799 on a sub-woofer speaker, the JBL's have a Kevlar Impregnanted Cone, so also if necessary you can listen to music in your vehicle and get between them and they stop bullets now -- JBL cares for you. Actually the stopping bullets part from drive-by action I do not really know about - but it seemed like something like a joke to me. Those scientists and engineers are caring for you and you can live to tell about it because those JBL speakers also saved your life with having Kevlar Impregnanted Cones in those car-audio speakers. Handling 600 watts of power for the 15 inch dual cone sub-woofer and peaks of 5000 watts (really) with test reports to show, I still cannot imagine having something that goes that loud. Since a low-power amp may still harm the speaker (by not having enough power for the speaker - which I guess never happened to my speakers as of yet) I just am not going to hear it that loud anyway.

I just thought that was kind of funny -- the new Kevlar Impregnanted Speaker Cones for your car (vehicle). I doubt if they stop bullets though, but hey, it's something to muse about.

Oh, I just have to smile sometimes on what speaker engineers and scientists will dream up next to use.

But I guess my TV will still be used as Panasonics never seem to quit like some Sony TV sets I know (or monitors also).
But then, a person could spend a lot of money on such stuff but again NAD has a cheap amp for sell like the one that started up the business and puts out 50Wx2 so I suppose that will sell again over there in Great Britian. But I suppose a person can buy $1500 cameras and $1500 amps and speakers if a person wants to along with HDTV sets, but the cheap sets (which it seems that only people are buying) will not actually have the resolution of real HDTV and a converter box with a tuner and a regular ol' TV antenna will still work (if you get good reception) so the old TV and VCR's will still work.

I guess it is status quo or something like that, and that costs -- m-o-n-e-y!

It's not having computer speakers though for those DVD movies watching on the computer, but having a stereo system (and only stereo not 5.1 surround or 7.1 surround - although I do have surround good enough for four speakers which I used to use - usually something like called Dolby Surround) that was and is still good enough for me. All I need really is some circuit board computer cleaner anyway - a good dusting off - and yes, some work cleaning the stupid electronic consumer equipment.)

All the fancy stuff someone richer than me will have to buy it.
Who has time for it all anyway?
I have got old stuff to fix up anyway like I said and it still pretty well works, and it all gets dirty and dusty anyway in the end no matter what.

(The JBL speakers I have are music speakers for playing music through -- although the about same speakers back then with a white cone was for stereos with supposedly better transcient response but handled the same power and about looked the same except for the white speaker cone.)

Although now, a person can get a Kevlar Impregnanted Speaker Cone!
I have to again laugh a little and smile on that one. I think those speaker scientists and engineers do have a sense of humor. (?)
(Those speakers saved my life when the radicals came buy with the drive-by shootings.)
(And I also listen to music witht them while talking about it.)
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
/ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I suppose nanotechnology will be next, as in wear your speakers for music maybe for something different. Anyway, all the electroic consumer stuff like iPods have too small of controls for my fingers. So, when I got a plastic pointer for my camcorder, at least I still can use the touch screen with my fingers -- the first thing probably lost would be that couple of inch like plastic pen thingy pointer to touch the screen with.

By the time a person reads completely how to use all that menu-item stuff, a person don't have time to use it if a person can remember it all anyway. I get that with my camcorder, so that's about it for me. People could not even learn to program a VCR recorder because of the instructions for that mess when it came out (or did not want to anyway.)
:D

Now they have remote controls people can just stare at anyway also.
:eek:
 
I guess Sony winning the Blu-ray thing makes up for losing with Beta recorders back a couple of decades ago nowadays. The beta thingy still works whenever I use it although the eject thingy has to be lubed or something because it spits the tape back out and it won't remain in until I do it a few times. Ya, have to use the darn thing before it settles back down again, I guess. Someway with some other electronic consumer equipment also. Then, the cleaning you are supposed to do. All costs money, but I guess keeps the repair techs in business. I hope I can buy a cleaning tape also for my camcorder although it will still take photos instead of just movies. I can not tape the Blue Angels enough when they show up, but that is only once a year or every other year anyway.
:eek:
 
To Ruthless:
High prices, well oil shot to a record high of $101/b and wheat doubled from $5/bushel in 2007 to $10/bushel in 2008. I predicted that both food and fuel would become expensive. I also predicted that both would be ratiomned. Get ready for a long line.

To Timenot:
They are working on UHD even as we speak; ultra hi def is the future. Right now when I stream hi def on my computer it stutters, but expect in two years more powerful computers and bigger bandwidth to solve that problem.

To Darby:
you claimed that I high jack other peoples threads, this is your excuse to come to this forum and make fun of time travellers, derail this thread and by extension derail this forum by getting you and your buddies to talk about topics not in any form associated with time travel.

Right now you are seeing broadcast television being replaced by TV over IP. Just as John Titor predicted. Recall how you and other debunkers made fun of him.

Replaced? Hardly! I don't think you could categorize it as that given that the major networks have spent BILLIONS in converting their broadcast equip over to HD! "Augmented" is more the word I think you are looking for. And no, neither John Titor nor you did not predict it... Bill Gates did!

But I tell others to take heart. The demise of HDRkid is not far off. Once Hillary loses the nomination, I predict we will no longer see HDRkid in these parts. Clearly, he took such a strong position on Hilldog being the Prez that if it doesn't come to pass there is no way he could pass it off as a "minor miss".

why was this directed at me? and dont worry about me standing in a line, thats something i never do
 
HDRkid will win either way.

All HRDkid will say there was
an event that cause a "temporal
divergence" to occur and that
we are on a new time line.
This results in a change in
the direction of the river life that
we chosen as a group. This is because
the future is not fixed in stone. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Uhhh...I've been a member of this forum for almost 8 years, rookie. I think that another member satisfactorily stated the case...you're boring, your story is boring. We tollerate you because you're somewhat entertaining even if the entertainment value isn't to your benefit.
 
This is just a general post. Whether UHD - ultra high definition or anything else, there are just certain people who will not desire it -- and one of those will be me. Whatever it is, there are already people watching shows over the Internet which is not something all that new either. Some people will spend money to have a fast connection over the Internet, but again I guess those are the people who make money. Part of it is due to the Government, and even seen on TV was some people associated with the FCC questioning some stuff going on there I guess. I did not see it all, and again it is the usual type of people doing this for some such reason or another. This has all happened before, and some of these type of people always assume they are correct when it is more like just accusations and people only wishing to be Adversarial. So along with anything else, it will depend on what people afford to buy in the end, and that may not be as much as anyone thinks or how they push things in this Country. As for rationing gas, that was already done in the '70's by Pres. Carter, and at that time, they stated that it would not be done again, if the price of gasoline went up, then people would have to pay for it. The reason -- the USA can not get out of their heads that old gas guzzelers were made jokes of and stated they could be used to grow plants in them since back then people were complaining about it.

As to the thread over at ATS this no_one817 claims, again as of yet it can not be decided, since in this Country, civilians be as attacked as they were back in the '60's. That is just a fact that has been tried to be changed to letting lawyers handle it all when it keeps going on with some of these type of people always wanting to seek some sort of revenge being Adversarial because of accusations or anything else. It is a fact that this Country is not a Democracy never was and never probably will be, and Elections take care of the process. That the government can decide things that may make them unpopular if necessary, and that the military can shoot this Country if so decided if and when people want to get out of hand. Other people like me really do not really want to listen to all of it, neither do some in the Government, and in the end, although there have been tougher times, other expects claim that it would not happen again -- like the Great Depression. Whether they are correct or just end up being wrong, sometimes heads are going to roll and that will be that. When some people demand things and other things occur as far as I understand even the Government does not have to make it up to people. But when other people take on similiar acts, then it is them who are not Authorized to do that and that is the real truth, but some people continue to act that way I guess just for spite. A disagreement is just that, but when it gets out of hand, then some people can expect that others will react and not consider it anymore. If someone decides not to allow protests, then it is not Freedom of Speech being denied, it is the trouble when protests happen, and alledged accusations some people think that they can continue to do.

So on the other thread with that person, the way he (she) claims of what may happen is the point, and that it can not happen another way depending on circumstances. If people want to all get trumped up because of political policies or other things like the Election, then I suggest to write your local Congressperson and that is how it really should be handled. After awhile, I just find it boring because in the end, it is not anyone's Rights depending on who is in Authority in this Country. That is all that can be said otherwise people have to be a consumer and react the way they think best -- either by getting a lawyer, or not putting up with it by contacting others. Those others have been contacted because they are the Authority, and even others who think they have to be contacted before or first is not necessarily true. Again they have become Adversarial, because they think they can do that kind of thing whether on the job or anywhere else. There are just some places a person would not be working for if others decided that that is the way that it is.

???
Again there probably are reasons and these other type of people (like perhaps some doctors or lawyers) do not want to take pay cuts, when it is just reasonable if anyone else is making less money. Part of the problem with Unions, management or anything else. People think that they have a Right to decide depending on the business or anything else, but actually they do not, and are acting out and that acting out with some people may have been brought on by something else, and then those other people did not really want to know about the problem or do anything about it.
It is false to think that any person human is perfect.

i agree. the thread is hilarious to me. the kiddo predicts numbers all the time, numbers he supposedly cant see. guess he forgot about that tidbit. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
On CNN they talk about two
different time lines for both
candidates didn't they, tonight.
LOL. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I don't call that winning. Most call that hedging after-the-fact. Personally, I call that being so cowardly that you cannot admit that your GUESS was wrong. Lots of HDRkid's guesses have been wrong. But he does not like to ever face them, which is why he is nothing more that entertainment and no one takes him seriously. It is about the equivalent of Titor referring to the president who wins 2008 as "him/her". There is no "there" there.

To ruthless:
No you won't be standing in line because the russians will vaporize you in WWIII.
And osama reminds me of General Jar Jar Binks - the zero X-spearaince candidate ""But, but Mesa doen nuttin!" Remember the Cuban Misdle crisis when the russians thought a young callow JFK would fold rather than fight.

To Rain:
If you RV the future that smile will quickly disappear as a look of horror takes you down.
It is our weakness that encourages the russians to attack us. When we cut and run they become bolder. When Putins successor threatens us what will our president do. HIDE!

To Darby:
In your own forum you quickly can anybody that disagrees with you. In my forum I allow people to attack me and the HDR and only kick them out if thay start to post V^#GRA ads.
This forum is somewhere in the middle, I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and yes, freedom of assembly.
 
HDR kid,

How much time do you spend remote viewing? Did you ever just go outside breath the fresh air
and take joy in any kind of life at all? You are spending so much time on viewing (maybe...who really knows what you are viewing) such a negative future for yourself and almost using it as
a verbal attack or some kind of payback talk to the people on the forum. Sort of like a "just wait
you are all going to get it." attitude.

No one knows the future. It changes all the time. It has got to be unhealthy for you to constantly
dwell on all this negativity. About things that may never even happen.

Like attracts like. You are attracting all of this negative energy to yourself.
Perhaps you may be the only one who experiences this horrible worldline you see for yourself.

I've been looking at this wonderful book lately called "Spectacular Hawaii".
Its a rather large book with mostly photos. Its a 50 dollar book I got on sale at Borders for 15.00.
It is absoultely breathtaking and beautiful. I wish I could visit it with all my heart
but I wish more that I could teleport you there so you may behold some beauty in the world.
I wish I could place you right there by the waterfall and beautiful native flowers.
 
That is beautiful, Pam. Unfortunatly, HDRkid will probably come back to say-with regret of course-that the beautiful, wonderous Hawaii in the future is either comepletely under water, blown to bits, or is so tainted that you wouldn't want to be at that waterfall as it is water that is filled with sludge, bacterias and garbage and you would pass out from the stench.

But nice try :D
 
I have been gone for 4 years from the forums.I'm not sure if this is one
of the ones I was on then..but it seems like I remember an HDRkid then.There was
someone I believe named Richard that claimed to be a traveler and said that he
knew John Titor and was from his time.I suppose that this type of thing still
goes on now.Since this is 2008 is this not the year we were all supposed to be
well aware of the Civil Wars in the United States.If Hillary is going to win she
better do some fast catching up in delegates.I just thought I would come back to see
what the forums looked like since I got tired of all the fighting back in 2004.It
does appear I recognize some of the names.I do not remember what name I used back in 2004.
I may have used Catman then.I have never been to Hawaii,but I would like to.
 
Well, at least it is not said with a microphone or megahorn (whatever it is called when someone is addressing a crowd through one of those speaker voice horn)(or boat horn) about the future.

And then you end up according to the acoustic engineer in the book with a cabinet for the speaker (bottom cabinet) that is the optimum cabinet size for the speaker (large speaker-bottom) when measured and adjusted for the speaker you buy ( probably then not needing all the electronics included nowadays to adjust the sound because of cabinet size). And of course -- it being hi-fidelity in sound not just speaker sound) and whether played soft or loud (like a valley-fair a couple of thousand people size around) it sounds great no matter what - movie, music - all hi-fidelity in the end. But for the most part I just use the small speakers up on top with the grill-cloth off for most purposes, and most important of all -- not a horn loaded cabinet or horn speaker like at an out-door music event with people - that seems to carry at least a mile away with the bass sound which always amazes me at how loud they always want their music to sound when a band (even a country band) wants to sound.

Actually with an inch of hard fiber-glass resin in that bottom speaker cabinet (making the cabinet an inch thick on the size (and of course the size overall can vary - like tall and skinny or short and fat), I just ended up making those the best that I could (of course then with tuning the cabinet with the sound absorber of the fiberglass insulation type damping after that.

And in the process found out what a real acoustic engineer thinks about the entire mess of speakers put in any concert hall (where they usually use those dang horn-loaded speakers and cabinets to cover the room) and what real hi-fidelity sounds like. Well, at least I think it does sound better and if I measured correctly with any of it my speakers have a frequency response of 33-15000 Hertz without all the dropoff that store-bought speakers probably will have. It is a question of - they could make it better -- but then the size - people do not want - and then -- it turns out good enough for the average listening person.
Well on to something else.
/ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Beautiful landscape pictures then!!
 
The equation used for balance between the low notes and the high notes of sound or music is low frequency response times high frequency response == 500,000 to balance the loudness between the lowest and highest frequency you hear. 33x15000==495,000 or close enough for my cabinets. That red ruler is a four foot ruler by the side of my cabinets. It took enough work, and then it was a hobby that I like to think made a stereo system that should about match a $3000 speaker system back in that time (like probably more like 25 years ago) which nowadays I do not know how much money that would be, for producing a sound that matches or is even better for a lot less money at the time -- or even less then half the cost back in the Past. A little work and measuring and they still work today. (playing music or listening to music.) Of course, they sit around a lot just where they are at nowadays since they do then to weigh a bit to move around. Needed 4" wheels instead of 2" wheels and anyway, only in a great once in a while I just take the middle cabinets with the 10" speaker in it and two of those sound good enough with a (too small) of a music amp. But with a big amp, I would be ready, if I ever thought about that kind of event ever again. Those speakers are great though to listen to movies or music even soft. But again, it was just something to learn about in the end.
/ttiforum/images/graemlins/yum.gif
On to something else.

Ah, 1/4 inch of hard fiberglass inside the cabinets. The rest is wood. Fiberglass hard resin is harder then even concrete and the sound stays inside of the cabinet until the duct takes over.
According to the Electronics Handbook that lists things like that. 15% of the sound is let out because of wood, 2% if a cabinet was made out of concrete blocks say, but only 1% of the sound escapes because of fiberglass hard resin. That makes the sound form better before anyone hears it.
And it works at soft volume also.
