    Deaf culture - do's and don'ts, etc. Let's make a list!

    This is a problem I have seen a lot happening with us Deafs - we tend to assume all hearings know or should know the expectations of Deaf culture. It helps a lot when I stop and re-educate back...

    :lol: they are still full HD technically. That definition was created for the market. When they make the next HDTV with 1600p or 2048p, they would probably call those Extreme HD or Super HD or something, just to define the next level to consumers.

    Besides sex and nightmares, what are your memorable dreams?

    Marlee Matlin's Remarks at FCC Hearing on Broadband Access

    Marlee Matlin's Remarks at FCC Hearing on Broadband Access

    I am curious... where you get the information about the FCC specs? It doesn't make sense - if that exists, we should be seeing captions on videos in network websites and Hulu. Maybe "public" is defined for government sites?

    Energy Drink Market

    Red Bull has about the same amount of caffeine as coffee... however while coffee is taken with a sip, Red Bull is taken quickly in large amounts so the consumers could easily get the same effect and more quickly.

    Both are still FULL HD. It is just a matter of resolution difference. 720p has about a million pixels... 1080p has twice of that. In practice, depending on watching conditions, there is not much difference unless you are sharply watching for flaws (which I doubt that is your priority all...
