Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Dec 03, 2008 5:04am PSTWoo, Wednesday. One step closer to the weekend, and uh, the next working week.
There's some news I should write, so I'll keep this brief. Two thoughts:
1) As the third season of Dexter draws to close--only two episodes left!--I'm glad to see that the show is still going strong. Too many shows lose steam after the first season.
2) Aren't cats supposed to hate aluminum foil? Mine seem to love it :|

What would you consider to be a movie that someone has to see atleast once in their life?
Like personally I think everyone should sit through the entire Godfather trilogy atleast once.

My Dad just retired, and as a retirement gift, his office gave him free reign to get something fun. So...he's thinking about getting a large television, about 50-52".
Problem is, is that he is wondering if he should go plasma or LCD.
He definitely wants a 120 Hz LCD, but if he goes plasma...there are none of those bluriness issues, right?
LCD is supposedly brighter, but the plasma has way better colour. We have a 32" Bravia right now, and it's not bad, but it's older and lacking on some of the latest features.
Dad is thinking about getting a Samsung panel, as the Internets and consumer reports show them to be the best.
WHAT SHOULD MY DAD DO?
Plasma or LCD? Which model would you recommend?

So my company is working on some game and I'm in charge of checking out payment processors for subscription services. Boring as shit, but then as I was checking out this horribly named company I came across this:

Scroll down to Stevana Case, AKA Killcreek. I didn't know she was European for starters, and I thought she was still working with Romero on some terrible mobile phone apps.

So it looks like I'll be getting a check to buy a new laptop for christmas. I'm looking at the mac book because I want to do some iPhone application development. But most of my programming is done in C# on windows so I'm curious what the Windows on Mac performance is like these days. Is it easiest to use a VM type solution or booting straight to windows via boot camp?
How do games run under windows if you boot straight to Windows? Is the 9400M gfx solution decent at all? I'm not expecting to be able to run Crysis, but the last big game I played was WoW and I've got a lot to catch up on.

It used it, when it came out of the box. I hated it, changed it to Never Sleep. Then I changed my mind, and set it to an hour. But no matter what values I set it to, now it just won't sleep unless I put it to sleep manually (cmd-opt-eject).
Am I missing something?

I'm getting ready to start brewing again now that the temperature is reasonable here in TX. I might do an ordinary bitter or rye ale. But tonight I'm playing around with making apple cider. I'm experimenting with 2 different kinds of juice in 1 gallon batches to see how they come out. One jug is filled with fancy $8 organic and the other is just $1 frozen concentrate. I'm pitching Danstar Nottingham and will probably bottle after a week without racking to a secondary. Anyone here done hard cider? How'd it come out?

I know I'm late to the party but I can't stop listening to this album. I finally figured out why I'm liking it. It's sort of like a less technical Dream Theater album with a ton of piano. A bit more bluesy rock but like the song Better sounds straight out of a Dream Theater album.
