This is why I'm migrating to Fedora, which btw blew me away with its polish after dealing with the turds of packages that Ubuntu has in some areas (Eclipse).
No, using that logic, if your boss's landlord keeps taking down his sign and he stays in the same lease he's doing something wrong. Critical thinking FAIL.
I think you're mistaking realclimate.org for some other site. realclimate.org specifically refutes the inane misconceptions that are out there from AGW deniers.
AT&T comes with espn360 streaming, which has formula 1, 3, and nascar racing events live and replayed on demand whenever you want. I'm a huge college football fan who used to pay for the extra package during the season, and I just got sick enough of it that I explored my options.
mythbuntu, a hauppage wintv card, and a newer nvidia card for accelerated playback (newer == 8500 and up iirc). I pay for schedules direct (speaking of which I'd better pay my $20 today since my year's up)
Hasn't happened yet. When it does, so long, I don't want to business with that type of company anyhow. There's this thing called ethics, and it doesn't go out the window when its inconvenient or not fun enough.
BS, I pay $54 for dry loop dsl from AT&T. Once they are set up, they simply bill me. Comcast has 800 price structures for 6 month specials that I have to call and renegotiate EVERY six months. I have a flat price that is lower than Comcast's regular rate, no home phone service, and NO BS TO DEAL WITH ANYMORE.
If you put in the effort ONCE, you never have to call and threaten to cancel your service to get the "better" deal.
So stop doing it, I did. I download a lot of stuff and my connection is more reliable at actually obtaining the content on a regular basis at a consistent speed using 5 Mbps AT&T DSL than Comcast's "Comcastic" 10 Mbps cable modem.
I don't watch that much tv, but what I do is easily accessed through hulu on boxee hooked to my 50" DLP. I have my dvd collection at the press of a button, and use my xbox 360 to stream hd quality (ish) movies from netflix.
I actually get more entertainment from this setup that I had to do some THINKING to obtain than the braindead channels that comcast offers. I also record OTA HD and can burn it to dvd, transcode it, or do whatever the hell I want with it since its MY airwaves the broadcast networks use to deliver it to me.
Stop complaining and start voting with your feet and your wallet, trust me, you'll feel bettter about yourself. I don't LOVE AT&T, but they're certainly the lesser of my two evil choices.
Isn't this a blatant example of violating "net neutrality" that's been going on for awhile now? AT&T customers can use this site while comcast's can't (been on both sides of that fence and it wasn't 360 that made the decision for me).
I use it, but it bothers me that AT&T is engaging in payola to bring me that service.
One BIG example of false expectations from trailers (another great film imho too) was Bridge to Terabithia. I was expecting fantasy galore from the trailer and got a few fanciful scenes and a great tale about kids using their imaginations.
I challenge you to find cheaper food than the organic produce grown within a few miles of my home. If people would focus on buying locally produced veggies and meat, it would cut a huge chunk of transportation cost (and waste) out of the system.
A small highway interchange that is the main route from Peoria, IL to Chicago, IL gets shutdown several times a week by the towers for wind turbines for a wind farm north of Peoria that's coming online in a few weeks. I have to assume the closures are pretty well done now, though, since the project is complete. Sucks when I have to run from Peoria to Aurora for a meeting, though.

Also Quake 4, Doom 3, anything id really outside of the new Wolfenstein.
Umm.. don't be so sure on the Ubuntu side:

There's other isp's that pay for espn360:

By definition unless he was 22236 miles from home (geosync orbit) he would likely get a factor or 20 improvement anywhere in the continental us.

Either would receive credit in my book.
You lose your geek card, please hand it over.

Gentoos last straw on my box was when a portage upgrade broke wget and left me dling source packages without wget.
With Mythbuntu, the only thing you have to do is by a Hauppage card and a Turtle Beach sound card. There's your shopping list.
Aside from Gentoo, I've found that to be common with every Linux distro I've tried.
mythtv. $20 a year for the listings from datadirect. Problem solved.

Doesn't suck as much as paying $750k for a starter home in San Jose. I'm far happier back in the midwest in my 3600 square foot 3 story brick house.
