    Superb...instead of @home.com, it'll be cox.com. Nothing beats I_stare@cox.com. What a professional touch. Cox...

    I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want my email address to end with @cox.com, sounds a little too pornoish to me ;-)

    Geez - I guess that's one way to keep people from using NAT behind their cable modem.

    Oh, and for anyone actually calling Future Shop, make sure it's 800-663-2275 that you're calling. My work phone number is one digit off from that, and it's supremely irritating to be interrupted by someone with a bug up their ass about their computer, especially since half of them seem to be speaking French, and I don't even work in IT.

    Yes, it's more or less off-topic. No, I don't care.

    Perhaps we should also bring up the geek stereotype of being arrogant, self-righteous assholes eh? Too bad being a dickhead is a right not a privelege.

    Me? I'm going out tonight with a real person, and after some dinner and some lovin I'll be a fixing her Comcast@Home account to make sure it don't break nothin come friday. I've got nothin to worry about as my broadband comes across those phone lines you like so much.
