clothes

Clothing (also called clothes) is fiber and textile material worn on the body. The wearing of clothing is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of nearly all human societies. The amount and type of clothing worn depends on physical, social and geographic considerations. Some clothing types can be gender-specific.
Physically, clothing serves many purposes: it can serve as protection from the elements, and can enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hiking and cooking. It protects the wearer from rough surfaces, rash-causing plants, insect bites, splinters, thorns and prickles by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment. Clothes can insulate against cold or hot conditions. Further, they can provide a hygienic barrier, keeping infectious and toxic materials away from the body. Clothing also provides protection from ultraviolet radiation.

    So I got sky HD about a month ago but displayed on an SD panel. Perhaps no suprise then that HD programs looked about the same as SD. However I got a G10 yesterday, and though things like LIFE or Top Gear in HD look great, all the american programs, I specifically Stargate Continuum last night...

    HDMI Cables - The Emperor's New Clothes

    Recently I bought a well-known hi-fi magazine and was dismayed to see a comparative review of HDMI cables where I read rubbish like "unearths impressive levels of detail and fires out movie effects" and "it doesn't sound particularly musical or refined". These were not reviews of blu-ray...

    Hi all There's been plenty of discussion in the past, in here and in the HD players forum about the merits of lossless audio. I for one was initially skeptical, and then began to appreciate the differences between vanilla DD and TrueHD/DTS MA. I think the differences are often subtle but...

    HDTV. Emperors new clothes or a true revolution?

    Like everyone, I am a sucker for a brand new piece of kit. And when the HDTV revolution was first mooted, I was as excited as everyone else to be able to see a picture so detailed that I would be able to make out individual strands of Jennifer Lopez' grey hair. Or to see colours so rich and...
