Pacman, they have self-study tests that can help you improve your ACT score so if you take it again you can get a better score.

Ah, I didn't understand at first. Sorry. True, if you don't have HD receiver, you don't get ATSC signals for most things. They do have ATSC local channels for some areas is what I was saying. But you're right--most cable and sat channels are still NTSC--it's all they have bandwidth for.

Those are called Lynx Point Siamese. They're REALLY pretty cats. And nice personalities. My neice has one. They think all domesticated cats come from a very tabby-looking kind of cat, called the African Wild Cat. This is a picture of one: http://www.moggies.co.uk/breeds/wildcat.jpg...

Not a lot of signing there, but I'll check the show out.

Depends where you live. They do in many places, and are adding many places. (Both companies.)

No, I see no reason to be rude to my friends if I don't NEED closed captioning. When my brother is watching, it stays on--since he does need it--and they would never ask while he's watching. What's dumb is that one of these friends has some moderate hearing loss in one ear and might some day...

Well, there are easier ways to make money, so I doubt it's the ONLY thing he's in it for--but what's wrong with making money? Deaf people are weak willed and can be brainwashed? We're not talking about Jim Jones here, I don't think. Television, movies, books, news, internet would all stop...

My guess is that she'd talk. Hearing people not skilled in sign who just do it for acting tend to not sign well. It's as if they. are. talking. one. word. at. a. time. Which isn't natural. Signing, like talking, when done fluently is very fluid. I remember Gil Grissom on CSI saying his mother...

It's an interesting concept. I'd love to visit such a town. If it were close enough to friends and family here in Michigan, I might even consider moving to such a town. He's right about Indiana School for the Deaf according to my brother, who had wanted to intern there next fall (but...

I have three cats. Nosher, who is about 4 years old and is a pure bred chocolate point Tonkinese: http://www.snarkbait.com/dave/nosher/almost1year.jpg Simon, who is the same age and is a pure bred CLASSIC blue point Siamese: http://www.snarkbait.com/dave/simon/simondesk.jpg And Shadow...

Well, this fits with what the guy said about her nemsis being named Sarah, so it could still all be mostly the same.

It is. Their latest software push to that HD DVR said "closed captioning polishing" and I'm thinking... man, where? It works so well! The only thing I want is an easy way to turn it off quickly when my silly hearie friends are watching TV and my brother isn't. It "distracts" them. Feh. I...

Ah, I don't necessarily mind a hearie playing a deafie if it's played right... no more than I mind Americans playing Japanese people in Heroes. But it has to be done right. Silly if someone gets a bionic ear and can suddenly talk. :( I guess we'll wait and see what happens. I don't watch...

DirecTV's Closed Captioning on HD has always been pretty good. It wasn't on their newer DVR (HR20) and when we complained on DBSTalk.com, the DirecTV engineers heard all the complaints and fixed everything over about 2 months. I was really impressed. I even asked them to move scrolling...

I have a 20 inch LCD HDTV in my home office. It is connected to DirecTV and the captions are fine because DirecTV's box decodes them.

The networks, not the providers (Dish, DirecTV, etc) provide the captions. The providers give us the CC decoders for HDTV. I have (and love) my DirecTV HR-20. It's a High Definition DVR via DirecTV and they have the closed captioning working really well (after a lot of initial problems).

I think I've said this before, but I believe on of the reasons my brother is so independent and self-assured is because he got a CI at age 9, tried it, didn't care for it, and by having "hearing" and realizing he didn't want to hear, he learned to be happier with who he is. But you're so...

Interesting. I didn't care for the guy who wrote the blurb saying the sister shouldn't be deaf. Meh to him.

In the old testiment, the word Satan is used a lot. It merely means "enemy" or "adversary." There is no being called "The Devil" in the Jewish religion. Here: Satan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jews don't believe in hell or eternal damnation.

Exactly. Companies are in business to make money... they're not there to be nice, kind, or fair. They'll have captioned movies if they can make money at it. They make more money with RWC than OC, so that's what they do. Can't fault 'em for that.
