Cable TV A La Carte Part 2

Posted by chrisd on from the happy-new-year-from-the-cable-company dept.

Ravi Swamy writes "Here's a followup article in Business Week to the Cable TV A La Carte story from last month. For those who actually read the story it was only A La Carte if you wanted to add HBO. Apparently cable companies don't know about the law or are going to reclassify HBO as a 'tier' instead of as a channel to get around the law."

    Nah, I've seen one before. In fact, it was a link to a cafepress shop with goatse t-shirts. Shirts of a big, gaping, asshole. Wonder what'd happen if you wore one of THOSE to work.

    That's one I've forgotten to put in.

    I have a page or two of items in that index. The servers that try serve up pop-ups are one, I can still read the site but now there's less risk of pop-ups, regardless of what browser I am using. I also block sites that use Flash banner ads.

    The goatse site isn't really a problem for me, because there are a lot of slashdot shiteheads I _always_ check the URL before clicking the link. I really don't know what makes those posters that try to pass the link think they are so cool.
