Transwarp
If a person is taller than another, then he is quite probably tall. But if everyone was as tall as that person, he is no longer tall. It's all a matter of relation - tall, big, small, ontop, behind... All relation to your perspective. In the matter of trans/warp, your perspective is warp. So anything faster than warp is transwarp.

Good point, Thorin.
I don't like it too much either, but it is done all the time - esp. in military or paramilitary parlance.Teaos wrote:In my book you dont give something a new name unless its new and not just a modification.

Look at TV's. We have Plasma, LCE and the old fashion ones yet we still call the TV's and only sometimes refer to them by the more specific term.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

You are correct. Old-style tube TV's have better color reproduction - esp. black - and a far wider viewing angle without loss of apparent resolution. Plus, they're relatively cheap. The only problem is that they only go up to 34" diagonal, and they weigh a buttload.DarkOmen wrote:As far as i know, the best CRT's are still better than plasmas as far as accuracy of picture with regards to correct Chrominance and luminance.
PS Peabody - you don't have to build a case. We already know what happens here - in fact, we've even named it. It's called "TR-116 syndrome."

well this is what wikipedia had to say about it...
i know its not plasma specifically, but plasma and lcd can be grouped together as flat panelWikipedia wrote:CRTs are also still popular in the printing and broadcasting industries as well as in the professional video, photography, and graphics fields due to their greater color fidelity and contrast, better resolution when displaying moving images, and better view from angles, although improvements in flat panel technology increasingly alleviate these concerns.

Plasma also throws out a lot of heat. It is almost like having a heater in a room.
But the convenience of having a TV you can hang on the wall is worth it to some people.

How the hell did the conversation change from transwarp, to TVs?
Damn TR-116 syndrome...
