In light of this article (which you don't really need to read, other than the headline) I have decided to use my small knowledge base and couple it with my extensive vocabulary and imagination to review these two items and explain to you why Blu-Ray is the superior of the two choices.
At the core of these two items we find the same product, a disc that will play movies and videos in TRUE High Definition, and not that "almost there" HDMI crap that makes us true believers want to dig our eyes out. Not to mention, HDMI Cables are freaking expensive. $60 for a four foot cable? No thank you, ZERO BEARDS for you HDMI Cable.
So what is the difference? It's quite simple. HDDVD came on a normal DVD disc with the same kind of crappy storage capacity as regular discs, the kind of discs that require more then one disc for anything over 5 hours of material. Blu-Ray on the other hand is a new kind of technology. It's a disc whose "format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc" according to the Blu-Ray website. This is of course one of the reasons why the PS3 (the over priced piece of shit that it is/5 Beards) went with the technology. This way the next generation of Final Fanasy games could be 5 times longer then ever before, with even more detailed running chickens.
But seriously, Blu-Ray is awesome, because to me this makes me think that data cubes and crystals which will of course be small enough to fit in my pocket and not be subject o scratching and be able to hold every bit of information on my computer are just right around the corner. And of course, once we have that then we'll have holographic projection TV and self-driving cars, which is what I really want.
So, since Blu-Ray has already won the war, and is apparently the gateway to all my dreams the future it should get a high score, it's currently prohibitively high cost though hurts it as I'm afraid that now, without competition the price will not come down anytime soon. The cheapest unit is $400.00 without tax and anyother add-ons, plus I don't want to have to rebuy all my movies since Blu-Ray discs are all at least 29.99 and I got The Truman Show (7 Beards) on DVD for $5 a few months ago.
Blu-Ray gets SEVEN BEARDS.
HDDVD gets ZERO BEARDS.

Annoying people
Annoying people. Dude, read our minds... shut the fuck up.
1 beard and a shit-stain. means negative 2 beards.
PS. You don't know everything. If you did you would realize that you are annoying and you would shut the hell up. Poop-dick.

Jumper
The lady and I went to see Jumper last night which leads to me blogging about it this morning.
It was enjoyable. It was a campy (I don't really know what that means but it seems appropriate) sci-fi film. I'm just going to make a list of points about the film, since lists seem to be my thing lately.
1) Randy said it best, it's the Nightcrawler movie, except there are a lot of nightcrawlers, and they're not blue.
2) Hayden Christensen cannot act. He just can't do it.
3) The movie teases you with a lot of information that makes you think that this movie was just a small chunk of a larger idea. Sequel? God, I sure hope so.
4) The love story was alright. The love interest girl, lady, whose name I can not remember and am too lazy to IMDB was presented with two shocking revelations in the movie. One was handled quite weirdly, but that could be cause by the script, and the second was handled quite well I think. She was good.
5) Sam Jackson only actually kills one person in this movie and that kind of makes me sad.
6) The weapons and battles in this movie are pretty cool, wish there had been more of that.
Overall it was kind of awesome. Go see it at the dollar theater or at a matinée and don't go in expecting to be blown away.
Jumper gets 3 Beards.

Printers
When I say printers I hope you all know I mean the personal and office kind and am not referring to massive printing presses. Anyways, they are an integral part of the whole personal computer and word processing, a giant step away from the steady clack-clack-clack of typewriters. They allow you to print multiple pages rapidly, as well as multiple copies of said pages with should be relative ease. These things have even involved into complex faxer/scanner/telephoner/printers that are capable of doing anything could conceive of doing in a home or professional office. They're pretty handy dandy little machines except for two things.
1) Ink: Apparently printer ink is made out of freaking Gold or something because it costs more then I can afford usually.
2) Technology: Printers are pieces of technology, which means they're never going to work when you really need them to. Which, with printers, is about half of the time. Need to print off a report real quick before school? Forget it, might as well accept that F or the tardy. Need that TPS report for the big meeting in 5 minutes? Psyche, you're gonna get fired. Why is it that printers never work when you really need them too? And, they always find a really convenient reason to not let you print.
Alright, I'm done. Printers get 3 Beards and A Mustache
