Re: [CGUYS] The blessed ones

This is weird. "The Blessed Ones" is the name by which the Furies are commonly called, in Greek and Roman religion and literature. I sat down at my computer this morning, glanced at the subject line of the incoming emails, and wondered why the Furies were a topic of discussion on a compu

There's probably some kind of analogy to the present situation, to the actual topic of this thread, but I don't want to think about it. I think you're overanalyzing this but your point is clear. Sometimes the Mac people come off as Eumenides to the non-Mac people. That much is apparent. But i

Re: [CGUYS] The blessed ones

Well, the Eumenides are also known (in translation) as "The Friendly Ones" and a translation of "eumenides" is, roughly, "the pleasant ones." So maybe we should think about that when talking about Mac versus PC. BTW, I use PC at work and (mostly) Mac at home. I just got my first Linux b

Some might consider the Chantilly, VA location as the "DC area", even though it's some 45 minutes outside of DC's center. Udvar-Hazy is part of the DC's Smithsonian. Dark Knight tickets are 12.50 plus 12.00 parking; Ouch! How many people can you stuff into a car ;-) Richard P. Here is what

Re: [CGUYS] imax

Some movies are converted for imax, but not shot with imax film. That's why I wanted to see Batman at the imax, as noted before, portions were actually shot using imax stock. The only problem here, a local theater chain has a deal with the only full size imax theater in the valley to not run any

Mike, Why do you care where he gets it? It isn't like there are any reputable studies that show anything else. You certainly can't dispute the findings. You can find hundreds of examples with a simple Google search. Trying to find counter-examples is difficult - you have to find something fund
