You're full of crap. Did you even read the origonal post on this thread? What you and many many people fail to realize is that if a child gets a CI they are still deaf. If you're talking about wether or not some one is part of Deaf culture, then yes, that's a choice, but it's always a...

Devices with screens smaller than 13 inches are not required to have closed caption decoders, but I have seen some portable DVD players that do.

Twice in the same day?! where do you live? Where I'm from they show an open captioned movie once a month (just once, you don't have a choice of what time to watch it)

I don't know what state you're in but where I'm from (origonally) there's a thing called "open enrollment" where, if you sign up before a deadline you can enroll your child in any school district you want. You'd just have to find a way to get your child to the other school, as i'm sure the...

can you provide more details? Are you using voice minutes to dial up to an ISP for internet? who is your wireless provider, and who is your dial up ISP? isn't doing this horribly expencive?

What are you talking about?!? Microsoft does care about accesability, but they can't improve anything if real world users don't tell them what's needed. are you suggesting that many alldeaf.com users write to microsoft to complain about beta software?! That's crazy. it would be...

rhr's post was hard to follow but this is what he/she ment. RHR has a copy of windows Vista (one of the versions with media center features) The closed captions when watching video on windows vista are very small (and aparently hard to read). However, when using windowsXP media center...

Vista is still in Beta, why don't you just ask microsoft how to change the font size? do you seriously expect the general population to know the answer when only beta testers (and pirates) have access to this software?!?

When some one says they have (or don't have) a "land line" they're referring to thier phone. a land line phone is a regular phone, (not a cell phone and not VOIP) To send a fax you need a land line (phone line) you can't send a fax any other way unless you use a service like e-fax. --...

diddn't you read his comment? he says he dosn't have a land line. http://www-virtualfax.com/ and get service for only $24 a year but the number isn't local. If you mostly send faxes then that would be good for you. I havn't used it myself, but I don't have a land line either, I have...

I've contemplated the same thing, there are two major obsticles as I see it. 1) syncranization. if the captions are pre-loaded onto the device, and the device is independant of the movie, how do you sync them? (I think that the ideal system should be independant of the theatre because movie...

I don't mean to come off as "deafer than thou" but 30 db isn't a terribly life ending ammount of hearing loss. the only tones I can hear softer than 30 db are a very very narrow range at 2khz (at roughly 30 db) and another very narrow range at 250hz. (somewhere between 20 and 25 db) And that's...

Did you look at the link? its a website that has examples of superman comics that show that superman is a real jerk. A lot of it is taken out of context but it's funny.

I've been thinking about this sort of thing for a long time and I've also tried researching what it would take to develop one myself. here are my thoughts 1) Yes, I'd be willing to download the captions online before going to the movie, in fact that would be ideal in my opinion. It...

I don't like myspace either. But it appeals to children and paedophiles. I have a livejournal account just so that I can read the private postings of some people I know. Live journals private feature is good. You have to have a live journal account and be on the person's friends list. I...

If you use a coupler with your TTY you can just press the button on the phone.

Harris communications has many, There are two basic types, the ones that plug iinto the wall outlet, or those that have to be wired in by an electrician. http://www.harriscomm.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=smoke

LiveJournal.com is good. myspace.com is another one. it's crappy, and is very popular with teenagers and peodophiles right now. whichever one you choose, if you make something "private" the only people who can see it will have to have accounts with that website too.

I diddn't bother to research the exact cause of that error message but it's probably a driver issue. re-install your printer drivers and see if you can re-create the error. If that dosn't fix it then a reformat and re-install of your operating system is your most effiecent option. be sure to...

no, superman isn't gay, but he is a dick, http://www.superdickery.com
