Cable TV A La Carte?

Posted by michael on from the two-from-column-a-and-one-from-column-b dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "According to this BusinessWeek article you can now get your MTV a la carte. I having been waiting for years to buy my cable by the channel, and this article indicates that my cable company is now legally required to let me. I am going to call Time Warner tomorrow with my list just to see what they say. Anyone out there doing this now?"

    /. posts a story on MTV/HBO but refuses to cover the H1B Visa bill passed on 2002/11/02?

    from the article.

    "It is now official. On November 2, US President George Bush signed the department of justice Authorisation Bill which will make extension for H-1B visas easier.

    It will also make it possible for more Indian doctors to live and work in the US once their academic programme is over.

    The extension of H-1B visas will particularly benefit the IT sector. This is good news for Indian H-1B visa holders, as nearly 50% of them are working in the high-tech sector. "

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon. He will be missed :(

    Good God, TechTV is the most god awfull horrible piece of rubbish on the airwaves right now. Yes, they play Thunderbirds (but the popups seriously detract from the quality of the show) and Max Headroom occasionally, but you could get those elsewhere. Everything else on that channel is crap.

    True SlashDot geeks are watching the Discovery network channels, National Geographic, and the History channel any chance they can get.

    And I'm proud of that! I just can't believe anybody even watches TV anymore. I mean, you can all your movies, shows, MTV, whatever from gnutella and all your news from news.google.com. Let's leave last-gen tech behind. way behind.
