Scoot you're so mean to Gords.

So... What's the plan tomorrow? You guys are going climbing... When will that finish? I'm offering to host a meet, but since you guys are probably gonna go rock climbing, I guess we could do that and finish the day off at my place with a sleepover meet or something.
Either way, I am 100% confirmed for rock climbing (and Elizabeth wants to come). I have the car tomorrow, just give me times + location.

Ok well I have to go pick up my awesome laptop tomorrow. S I probes won't leave the city till about 12ish. Could be later if I want a decent sleep, how many people are going rock climbing? What time do you think you will be leaving rock climbing?
DeLux, anything happening with the SmashLab sometime soon?

Holy **** ZXV's going! This is going to be amAAAzing!
So Ted, what train are we catching for rock climbing, i.e. what time am I getting there tomorow? (please not too early...) Also, what were your plans after that? I was seriously considering going to that sleep over meet, that is of course if we have a way to get there and stuff. Thoughts?
Edit: Oh and Lux, I'm seriously looking forward to the character panal thingy. It should hopefully make this site more interesting for me again. Let me know when the wheels start rolling man. Should be good.

FIOD- I've pretty much gotten the ground work setup for the panels. I've just been sort of lagging it because I've been in the process of applying for jobs to get my "Send DeLux to Australia" Fund up and running. But we have a few interesting releases coming from the lab, all of which would be greatly benefited by the presence of EAlert since he's one of our more accomplished testersssssss

So Gords, I have a bone to pick with you.
Basically it's to do with how wrong you are about HDMI cables and how stupid you are for spending more than $20 on one. THAT argument. Just need to get it off my chest cause I'm sick of not being able to formulate arguments on the spot.
Note that I'm mostly annoyed at myself here, but I'll get to that in a bit. Anyway:
Read this, this, this, this, this and this/pt2/pt3 for all your evidence needs.
At least read the first one and the last 3 if that's too much.
Basically, the bottom line is as long as the HDMI cable is constructed well, a $5 cable will perform equally as well as a $500 cable in most cases. Because the signal is digital, the cable will either work or it won't, and if it doesn't there will be really obvious errors (snow, blocks of bad pixels, etc.).
Now to be fair, there are a couple of unrealistic situations where it pays to spend more for a "better" cable. The first is cables that are very long (over 5m) have trouble maintaining a signal for the whole distance. The second is extreme bandwidth requirements that will not be necessary/commonplace in the near future (insanity resolutions, 3D video, etc.). The first is a common issue among cables of all types, and isn't an issue unless you run a store or for some other reason need to run a cable through the wall or other lengthy distance. The second has to do with the HDMI 1.4 spec, which is mainly theoretic for now. Even then, you should be able to find suitable cheap 1.4-compliant cables if you really want 3D.
You said you bought a cheap one that didn't work well and that "proved" that buying more expensive ones gives you better performance. All that proves is that you bought a cheap one, and based on what I've read it simply means that the manufacturers did a terrible job of putting it together. It's pretty much widely accepted that price makes no difference as long as the cable is built properly, the only performance issues discussed are those based around some extreme situations that won't be commonplace for a good 5 years or so. A google or two will tell you that easily.
But yeah, I seriously have no ability to form a proper argument on the spot, I said some rather dumb things that kind of made sense in my head but meant something really different with the wording I gave it. So you can imagine how frustrating it is when you know you're right but have zero capacity to word it in a manner that makes you understood.

the trick ea, is to not do what you just did, because gords will be gords and theres nothing you can do about it, so you might as well just enjoy the ride

tl;dc, i have bigger issues atm than worrying about spending money on a HDMI cable that i want to last me well into the future.
no offence nathaniel, i may read those articles later cause i am genuinely interestred in the topic matter.
Also, i said the cheap cable i got ($50 from dic smith about 12 months ago) didnt work at all with the DVD/HDD recorder.

Yeah it's cool, I mainly posted that because I wanted the satisfaction of knowing I put forward a proper structured argument rather than the garbled mess of words that usually comes out of my mouth on the spot.
