Linear threads are a good research tool. Linear discussions are atypical. Non-linear conversations keep me interested in the abstract (community).

I will attempt to redirect non-linear conversations here to aid in maintaining linear discussions.

sometimes we get carried away, and can't resist trying to be funny.

i know it's wrong, but i get a kick from breaking the rules! especially on the particularly stupid threads.

i will also try to restrain myself from flippant posts outside of this chillout room - but i don't think i will succeed...

lol!

Translation to 'normal' everyday English:
Solid on-topic threads are good for learning,
A straight forward discussion without deviating off subject are not normal,
Random convo's keeps Antman coming back to SevenForums...

Here's something not worth own thread but what I want to say. If I misunderstood the point of this thread, I sincerely ask the OP to tell it to me and I will delete this post.

We, household CEO and I, we like to watch an American TV-series "Numb3rs". Just yesterday when watching an episode I was thinking the difference between European PAL and American NTSC systems. (NTSC = Never The Same Color)

I mean, I paid a lot of completely digital high-end Home Entertainment system with FullHD 1080 capability, and then most of the shows I'd like to watch come from U.S.A., so what I see is quite a lousy picture most often in 4:3 format. The quality is often quite poor because of converting NTSC to PAL.

Back there behind the big water, is this Digital Broadcasting you just started going to make a change in my dilemma? May I see better picture quality in American shows in the future?

I Survived A Japanese Game Show is top notch.

That's really good, been watching it! I mean, what are people willing to do to get their 15 minutes of fame? Completely humiliate themselves only to be later able to say "You might know me from television?" and tell the bouncers by the club doors "What? Don't you recognize me?"

Oh i can understand now.

Your language was fine. It will be much easier to convert the digital signal.

Not all content is hi-def. I watch quite a bit of 4:3 on a 16:9 screen. My CEO and I often wrestle between stretching, zooming, letter-boxing et cetera. She takes exception to "they look fat" when I stretch the 4:3.

And I was just kidding when I implied that there is no quality American television. I Survived A Japanese Game Show is top notch.

that's the part i like best when it stretches. The actress walks on stage from side to side and you see first giant mammal glands, the y get smaller after which you see a giant glutus maximus and slowly the 2 come together to stretch out again.
Maybe that's what it's like to enter a wormhole
You do the american tv injustice, look at all the quality police,hospital,i'm not quite sure and reality shows they have given us.

miami experts, new york experts, expert new york experts, expert miami experts from new york and so on.

And don't forget when you can have the pleasure of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, followed by Law & Order: Criminal Intent with the unforgettable (unfortunately) Vincent D'Onofrio giving pedantic people a bad rep.
