Call them every other day about it. Say you can't play WoW correctly. Encourage all the other WoW players in the area with Cox to do the same. It's impacting a very important usage (WoW being very popular, still).
whose sets of morals. Or are you intending to imply that everyone needs to have one set of morals, you insensitive clod?
No, unless one has more than one set of morals. I only have one set, you only have one set, etc...the question is whose set are we using to judge...mine, yours, random guy X's, etc. Grammar was correct.
"Coldcocked", on the other hand, means absolutely nothing to me, and (unlike "fortnight") it isn't in any of the dictionaries I have to hand, so I've no idea what it's supposed to mean.
I dunno, maybe my experience was different. When Charter came over to install the HD cable boxes (had been running the normal digital services), not only did they bring component cables over, but they even went out to run another line to the house (they said that having HD and cable internet could cause problems only on one line, since we had two TVs and two boxes). I didn't need the component cables at the time (had my own set), but they just let me have them. The installers mentioned that they thought the DVI port on the box was active, but that the company didn't supply cables for it. So, the installers I had knew what they were doing.
They haven't really updated the non-Catalyst stuff in a while. I haven't had any trouble just going to the website and selecting the High Speed (one download), as opposed to grabbing the low speed (three files) ones. The High Speed option is on the same page, and is, in fact, above the low speed options. It's been this way for months and months; perhaps you haven't grabbed an update for a long time?
From what I understand those "mysterious scratching" also happened because nano is so small so people put them in their pockets WITH KEYS.
Agreed. I put my old 2G iPod in my pocket, without keys and eventually it was all scratched to hell. Not a big deal (I expected it, don't really stare at the display that much and the display is still readable), but it doesn't surprise me. If I wanted to keep it from getting scratched, I would have bought a case for it.
So, the solution is to "make a standard Audio CD" (after losing quality)? I thought that's what I was buying at the store...a standard Audio CD. That's what a reasonable consumer would expect.
Actually, I find that most of the time, companies won't pay for shipping to them, but you don't have to pay them to ship the replacement back.
If you ever see the phrase in the warranty "postage pre-paid", that just means that you need to send the old unit back and pay for the postage on that, as opposed to sending it and having the company pay for the shipping when it's delivered. If you send it that way (not paying for postage and sending it along, with the postage to be collected when the package gets delivered), expect to get the package right back. ^_^
Anyway, Dewalt tools are more than just B&D painted yellow and given a new name. They are built tougher, and last much longer than their home-use counterparts.
Let's see how far we can recurse the topics in this thread.
Uhh...yeah, I did. The parent post I was replying to was that there is a substantial difference in between B&D and DeWalt; I'm not disputing this. What I am pointing out is that when B&D sold the same tools that DeWalt is selling now (the higher quality, more rugged tools), they didn't sell, because of the perception of B&D as a brand. DeWalt was born, because no one was buying and using the professional quality B&D stuff. From the GP, perhaps "jobsite feel" is a bit understated, but it is true that DeWalt is in existance, because no one would buy B&D tools for professional use, even though they had made such a product line, just because of the name/brand/image.
Yes. But what if you want a cheap computer? That is better than nothing at all. I do not want the best computer, I want something that does bare minumum.
And that's why there's no "love" for MS. Apple makes beautiful products, Linux is built for the love of it and both ways will garner "love". Building adequate stuff as cheap as possible makes it an "object", nothing more than a hammer and nails.
I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that; it's just in the scope of loving a product, cheapest way doesn't garner those feelings.
HDMI, I believe, has the standard in place. That is, if it has an HDMI jack, it supports HDCP.
DVI, on the other hand, may or may not have it. That is, there are DVI monitors/TVs that don't support HDCP and some that do. For example, my Sony 36" Wega does support HDCP; my Dell 24" LCD Monitor doesn't (both have DVI inputs).
By forcing users to have HDMI for a 1080i signal, those that have DVI (without HDCP support) will have to A: live with a standard definition signal, B: use a component (analog) connection to their monitor (if one's available) or C: buy a new monitor/TV.
Do you guys all turn off your refrigerator/freezers when it gets hot? Isn't the heat that it's producing already part of the heat of the room? I suppose taking out the ice and making more ice will increase the load (and amount of heat the fridge will generate), but I don't think it'll drastically increase the heat that much more.
Then again, it might just be more efficient to take a quick shower (rinse) and have the fan blow at you, if the object is to cool yourself off. Repeat the shower if necessary, through out the day. Probably use less water.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going look for a spoon to dig out my eyes; it's less painful than what I just experienced and that way, I can't possibly see anything worse.
See, the funny thing about the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" is that it is true, to some extent. Over time, people tend to gloss why they know a company or name (in general). Using a bit of controversy to make the commercial memorable may ruffle a few feathers, but in the long run, it may still help (GoDaddy? I've heard of them. They can't be too bad).

Try Dictionary.com? It's a fairly common term.

I always thought cats "accidentally" got shipped to Abu Dhabi...
Only cats named Nermal. Dogs named Odie may have the same accident.
So, then... how do you explain Celine Dion?
Maybe she gives good blowjobs?

POS always cracked me up. When I first heard it, I went "what's so bad about it?"
Then I started to use the system; that POS was a POS.
(POS is also known as a Point of Sale, i.e., a register, for those that don't know, or didn't really work cash registers).
Uh... did you happen to read the GP?

IIRC Black and Decker tried to market professional quality tools. They didn't sell, under the B&D name. Hence, DeWalt was born.
We see it with cars, too; Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infiniti, etc.

Men's prison can have the same effect, so I've heard.

Aww, it wasn't that bad.

Your car explodes, year after year? Maybe you should take the bus. :P

Mitsubishi makes DVD drives?
Apple has gone with Matsushita, Pioneer and Sony in the past, for the SuperDrives, IIRC. Likely it's a DVR-109 variant or something.
