Certain versions of it are allegedly known for causing stomach cancer., I would not eat that stuff, but I do love to eat pepper steak, moo goo gai pan, and etc.

Samsung makes good equipment. America could do better though.

The best kimchi in California, or most anywhere else, is a place in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles called "Madaongsae Korean BBQ". Corner of South Vermont and 9th Street. Best damned food you'll ever put in your mouth. And I don't care if kimchi causes cancer...its worth it

This was freaky. Robert's choices matched mine 100% except for Smallville.

Hey guys,

I wish you guys had recommended some places to actually purchase some bias lights! I've looked around some stores like Fry's and Best Buy but they thought I was speaking a foreign language (not a good sign).

Any recommendations on where to purchase a bias light?

Do you seriously need to use a pocket knife to open your Netflix movies? Come on.

I want to see those pictures of the Samsung factory. The picture quality of the Samsung's blows me away. I have a Panasonic plasma and I like it, but I regret not getting the Sammy.

When I remodeled the room I am using as my home theater, I added three 4" can lights inset into the ceiling, evenly spaced behind the tv stand. I use halogen bulbs and they are dimmable...I like it...although some of my guests prefer it totally dark.
