No, it was not a picture of a bald, fat-bottomed woman with bladder problems. EDIT: spoilerized it for the faint-of-heart

Much like the post in the WC in the funny things thread, It is highly recommended that you do NOT click there.

Maybe if you change your Ethernet patch cable that picture will become

Hey, add her to the casting call for "hot drug rep" in the medic8r movie.
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

OK, so, your choice of parts do not effect the spelling in your emails. Excellent. All well designed TV 1080p monitors provide the same picture quality. All solid states amplifiers sound the same. Got it. OK. Thanks.
When the rigid application of audio theory triumphs over experience, why bother listening for a difference when you already know there won't be any?

I wondered how you'd overlooked her. Did you see the recent SAG awards?
Yup, I think that you need to make your casting couch available to her.

Speaking of fat bottomed women, this actually happened to me in my local Publix grocery store not more than an hour and a half ago...
While bending down to pick up the cheapest 5#bag of sugar (I'm trying to kill dollar weeds in our yard) that's located on the shelf next to the floor I hear a woman's voice behind and above me say 'Excuse me, I'm just going to reach over the top of you and grab this' not thinking much about it I said 'Go right ahead, you have plenty of room'. I grabbed my bag of sugar turned around and saw this woman several years older than me (remember I'm 53!) who, width wise, took up more than her share real estate with a smile on her face saying to me 'You know, I could listen to your voice all night'.
Ego deflated like a mofo, dumbfounded and perplexed I shot out of the aisle without saying a word. While checking out a few minutes later, she pulls her cart behind mine and say's 'Well'.
That is no BS, it really did happen and I've decided that I'll never go back to that Publix again.
Ever.

All well designed TV 1080p monitors provide the same picture quality. All solid states amplifiers sound the same. It's quite simple to look at a waveform going into an amp, and coming out. How much the two signals differ is measurable. In modern, well designed, amps (don't even have to be solid state), operating within their limits the difference in these waveforms in barely detectable with laboratory equipment that is many times more sensitive than human ears. When an amp it pushed beyond its limits, the waveform differs, once it differs enough the effects become not only measurable, but audible. This happens sooner with some amps than others. But the measurements are easy to perform. With displays, you can look at the values contained in the input signal, and use a meter to see what's coming out of the display. The input and output on modern displays differs quite a bit. So video displays are not a technology that has matured to the point where they can reproduce a signal with undetectable differences from the input.

Oh, and too. The video display is not analogous to an amplifier. It's audio realm analog would be the speakers. No one is arguing that one pair of speakers sounds the same as another. Speakers are not a technology that has matured to the point where they can reproduce a signal with undetectable differences from the input.
I will go so far as to say, a well designed blu-ray player with no post-processing will output a signal from its HDMI port that is indistinguishable from another model meeting the same criteria. As long as the cable to the next input is within the limits of its output drive.

In recent years, anyone that has followed Joe Kane's discussions and purchased his DVE calibration discs have listened to his mantra about how the TV manufacturers could make their performance consistent from one to another but, realistically, they don't want to do it.
In the stores, when you have a bunch of monitors "side by each" transmitting the same picture at the same time, they will purposely do things internally(usually adjusting the color decoder) to make "theirs" look different from their competitors.
It has been going on for years with no change in sight.
