  1. The most interesting thing on the DVD ... on Star Wars Episode I DVD - October 16, 2001 · · Score: 1

    .. will most likely be the special sneak preview trailer for EPII ... And we can all pray EPII makes up foe the abysmal pile of poo that was Episode I. And for you Jar Jar bashers ... Isn't Darth Vader screaming "yoo-hoo!" -- and destroying the big bad blockaders accidently in the process -- far worse than the annoying floppy-eared sea urchin? I'd argue yes. Also, I hope they'll remove the homoerotic tension between Qui Gon and Jar Jar. That just freaked me out. Either that, or the 7 extended scenes include the much rumored Gungan-jedi coupling.

  2. Re:Wiring a step back?/Apartments on Internet-Ready Houses For Sale · · Score: 1

    Sister just moved into a new Aprtment in Allen, TX that was pre-wired for DSL. Her apartment manager bills her the extra $29.95 a month for the connection to be live. So, yes, it is available.

  3. House bought last August was prewired ... on Internet-Ready Houses For Sale · · Score: 2

    We just bought our new house last August outside of Dallas. We started the process in Feb. 99 -- 6 month build time -- and the "Home Networking" package was available then. We had them install full CAT-5 cabling hooked to a switching hub located in the master bedroom closet. Additionally, all phone jacks are CAT 5 enabled hooked to a nifty little patch panel in the closet too. The cable TV lines are ALSO centrally located in the same panel and then dispersed out from the house from there. It wasn't that much of a cost -- $500 or so. The hub had the uplink port for hooking in the cable modem, which also sits in the closet with a dedicated coax line hooked to it. We can't DSL YET where I am (I was 800 FT 'too far' for SBC to hook it up) -- it'd be the same setup then, just a different cable into the uplink. I guess our house was pretty much "Internet Ready" then. In my view the story was only about 1 year and half late.
