Yeah...but if the point isn't supposed to be that they're mostly black, then what is the point? Aside from that its just pictures of people.

I think it is LCD. But its only 300 lumens. Apparently the minimum for being able to see a projector screen with the lights on is 1000

Brightness is the other significant component in the quality equation. Light disperses over distance: The farther your projector will be from the screen, and the ...

jjrs

the only problem with LCD projectors is that the bulb only lasts 4000 hours and are expensive to replace. The second problem is that you need a dark environment to watch it, if your room has a window, good luck watching anything on the projector.

actually this Olens projector's bulb only lasts ...

Thanks Tr, that's exactly what I was looking for.

JBrazen, I guess that would be the sort of model I'd be looking at

It only broadcasts in VGA (640x480) but that seems pretty good....

jjrs

I need a new TV and have been thinking about getting a projector instead, and getting a tv tuner for my old laptop which I can keep beside it on the coffee table. The projectors I see at the store are mostly high end stuff, HDTV quality, and all over a thousand dollars, sometimes two or three ...

Do you really think that most or some of this wasn't done or being done way before Bush was in office?

Yes. Bush took historically unprecedented steps to empower the executive branch. Literally unseen in the history of the country.

Picking local people from Chicago will also help as everyone knows how well Chicago is doing.... Highest sales tax, murder rate, debt, worst school system, etc. One can only aspire that our country will soon become in as a great shape as Chicago!

I was in the same boat, but felt like I was chasing my own tail after a while. I figured this update was worth while since the Macbook has most of the features I wanted out of the Pro.

Obama will win. He has the numbers state by state, the ground game to get the vote out, and the enthusiasm of over half the country.

McCain comes off like the booby-prize "anyone but Obama" candidate, and thats just not enough. No one seems into it or passionate about voting for him like they were ...

This is a companion to Roody's thread, because I was curious to see how people planned on voting.

jjrs

official bid-

Obama- 311
McCain- 227

(McCain gets florida, keeps missouri and NC. Obama squeaks by in Ohio, gets virginia and pennsylvania).

What I hope will happen and think is the best case scenario for obama (not my bet)
Obama- 346
McCain- 191

I'm just drooling looking at those new macbooks. The multi-touch commands are great. I used it in the store and got the hang of it right away.

jjrs

Gotta hand it to the Obama campaign, they're fast and 21st-century about how they do things. Through their network of volunteers they've compiled every last detail of the McCain offensive. Even if you're a McCain supporter it's interesting, because its the most comprehensive breakdown of the McCain ...

What am I looking at? Some explanation of the chart would be helpful

Sorry...Find your income bracket on the left, then look to the right to see how much your taxes would get cut under Obama or McCain. The blocks to the left indicate a cut, blocks to the right an increase. The chart is drawn to ...

jjrs

The other chart out there makes the increase for 0.1% of the population look as big as the cut for the bottom 20. This shows how the cuts break down relative to how many people get them.

Obama was funny, but McCain brought the house down, especially with the Clinton jokes. And the nod he gives his opponent in part 2 is gracious and downright classy.

As with your fact check links...irrelevent, nobody is disputing the "personal income" points, we're talking about the income of a small business.

Obama clearly either made a mistake, or is confused and doesn't know the difference in the terms, or is pulling a smoke screen, you choose what you want to believe.

Which is it? As a reference point, Let's go with his stated, on paper policy. Here's that CNN article horsemen just mentioned ...

jjrs

Most of you are missing the point and of course so is Joe and Obama. The original quiestion was how much his business was making and what his taxes would be on that business.

No way would Joe's salary be anywhere close to 250 thousand. Obama's talking about his salary and not the income of the ...

At this point its stopped being a senator obama vs senator mccain debate and turned into a liberal ideas vs. conservative ideas debate. But sadly for the republicans, after the last 8 years that debate leans in the favor of liberals.

jjrs

McCain's doing pretty good compared to the last two debates. But Obama's a rock. He must be on valium or something. Nothing ever seems to rile him up.

jjrs

Anyone watching this debate? They're both spending half their time talking to Joe the plumber instead of each other. Tomorrow this guy is gonna be famous and interviewed by everyone.

jjrs

Obama is not Jesus. He's not some savior here to fix everything wrong in the world and solve everyone's personal problems. He's a democrat politician, and he has positions pretty typical of his type.

But you know what? After a year and a half of watching him speak and studying his policies, I've ...

Go back and listen to each of the "well rehearsed" words and how he mixes 2 totally different items, business revenue and personal income...intentionally...

I guess so. 10% I'd understand and 20 hell yeah, but this is ridiculous. I'm happy with what I earn, but I'd like to think if I had just cleared a quarter million dollars, I'd have more important things to worry about than a 3% tax increase.

jjrs

It seems like an awfully big stink to raise over a measly 3% tax increase... after you just cleared a quarter mil at a lower rate than McCain would give you.

So basically, after 250, you pay an extra 30 bucks for every extra 1000 you make. Big frickin' deal. Realistically how is that worth getting ...
