Toronto Seems to be the heaviest of downloaders

for the last 3 hrs, i have been glancing back at this map, refreshing it to see how well it works and if i can catch anything.
the counter seems to be modest, in that when refreshing there are actually more DLrs than predicted.
aside from the occasional blip out in the middle of the pacific (NOT Hawaii) the only blip that stands out seem to be Toronto. it blips so frequently that it never turns off.
I'd like to see the City's ranking list after the first 24hs or 48hr to see how this all went down.
perhaps even a flow cart of the wave going across earth as time zones alter the download rates.
since they aren't serous about science fiction anymore, they should mock them selves. turn it into a comedy network. after daily planet airs they can have a daily mars, when the science is just made fun of.
once they establish a comedy following, they should try adding food or sports, maybe music would be nice, since there isn't a music station anymore.
your are so wrong. it does matter where show get air.
for one, Sci-Fi (Stupid-Fi) helps pay for the series. Networks like ABC or NBC aren't going to pay unless it has Huge ratings. So smaller Networks have to flip the bill.
for another, take the food network for example. would it make sense if they started putting random ass shows in there? no. not in the slightest, how about discovery? should they try wrestling too?
regarding PVRs, while i have one, and i know more people are getting them, its irrelevant. I still find myself searching for something to watch for 30 min or an hour here and there, and i'll end up on something like food or discovery, spike, or space...
it DUMB what they've done. If they wanted a station "without a theme", then make one. whats the problem? why take a "Science-Fiction" station and put something else in it?
I have said the same thing! Why is there a Sci-Fi Channel? because there are Fans of Sci-Fi who will watch. So why then the name change to SyFy? who knows but the Dink that's running the show clearly is not a sci-fi fan, nor do they have any clue how to run a business. You do not take over a company and change its target customers.
Imagine if the guy running SyFy desided to go to the Food network.
Lets call it the Fûd network. (so i can change a few things that aren't food and it wont seem so bad).
lets add the Survivor series and Jersey boys, because they are getting a lot of attention on other networks. (you know networks dedicated to that type of thing).
it angers me, and there is nothing we can do about it...except hope that an alien comes down and probes the bastards.
If ever possible, you should check out the rumors first before buying an Apple product.

handy to look at before buying.
I'm about to get a Tower for work, sadly it doesn't seem like they will have a new one in time. I just don't get why they are so slow with there towers now... it's not like they have the PPC issue anymore.
I HATE with a passion that apple never give options on their larger screens.
Give me the option to have a smaller drive, or less of a graphics card. its an option for the 15" I'm not doing and 3d work or playing games. so what do i need it for? Give me the choice as to what I need. The lesser card is powerful enough!
It seems to me i could get the 17" for ~$300(CAN) less if that were the case... that's enough for me to justify $2100 instead, IF I but a MacBook Pro, it'll be the lower 15" But at that price, i might as well get a Dell or HP.
Oh, and how nice, Pay and EXTRA $50 for anti Glare!!! WHATS THAT?!
why not add an apple logo watermark to the middle of the screen, and then charge us to remove that too!
that may be true.. but honestly... whats with apple dragging its ass all the time with there Towers?
look at the release date gaps they have between releases? Seriously? http://guides.macrumors.com/Mac_Pro_Buyer%27s_Guide
its a Tower... the EASIEST of all computers products to update... anything less then 6 mth turnaround times to update a tower is pathetic. if they take as long as their last update, they might as well just drop this category. (16 months is laughable)
If you take a photo of Prince William with some other woman kissing. You would send not a low res image to a newspaper you would send a small cropped edited one with this invisible water mark. If the Paper wants to use it they would need to ask you for the image in the given size. If they try to edit that they see the water mark and can't print/put to the web.
When they do post this image to the web with out altering it, and you see that Huffington post has this photo, you copy image to your desktop, open it in photoshop, and stick your face on his head. Save As...
And there it is. Oh, this image is Copyrighted. Well what ever, i just want to send to my friends anyway... Maybe a PNG, TIFF... Screen grab at 100% there. there we go.
its a deterrent, as much as it is a notification. This is Copy righted. distributing this image for profit as your own may be illegal... blah blah blah.
This Tech may be useful for stock photography sites too. rather then have a water mark all over the image, a hidden one might be nice for conceptualizing.

but all that saliva in the pool is helping make your goggle less foggy too!
nothing more.
I meant it's moons... or other cold brown dwarf / planets moons.
knowing that a star/planet can burn so cool now, should change the search parameters when looking for earth like planets/moons.
If only we could spot aliens 50 years out.
would mod you up one for that.
They may give up on this theory, but only until they build a bigger collider.
good point...so make it a payed station like HBO?
or advertise: movies, games, events, gadgets,
I was unaware of "the Cooking Channel". I will look into it.
But at least the Food networks shows still revolve around food. reality or not, it fits the profile. Food.
Drop the SyFy - it does no service for the network, and puts a cramp in the Sci-Fi genre.
Call the station GES (general entertainment station) and be done with it.
Refuse to watch any show not in line with the genre networks image (Reality or otherwise) as it just encourages them even more.
since they aren't serous about science fiction anymore, they should mock them selves. turn it into a comedy network.

Come on Apple. Get it together.
its not asking much, and it makes 'leeks' seem less well leeky.
I'd really like to know what their deal is the the Mac Pro's.
What takes so long to update these? i mean really Towers should be something they have update every couple months. It's a Tower!
Also rumored to have USB...(one of those, shoulda been there in the first place kinda things).
But what are the chances they bring out light peak instead? would be Very Apple of them to go that way instead.

BTW, special characters as in www..com
oops RIGHT!
sigh.
