  1. Re:This seems like a dumb move. on The Revolution Will Not Be HD · · Score: 0

    While I agree with your overall post, I just want to clarify a couple of things.

    First, the FCC is only mandating that all TV be able to accept a digital signal, not necessarily be HD capable. DigitalHD.

    Also, as for the Xbox, yeah, it might be $149, but realize at this point, Microsoft is still supporting the console with a loss on every purchase, so it does not really tell us the cost of the HD components.

    In the end though, I agree that Nintendo would be better off in the long run by supporting HD in the Revolution

  3. Re:You know, it's funny on Halo 2 Used to Sniff Out Mods · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Retarded mods! How can this be modded interesting!? How many times does it need to be pointed out that although they are sold below cost, MS does not lose any more money than they already have. The loss is a sunk cost and you are still adding $150 to their current bank account.

    I know it does not need to be pointed out to most of the crowd here, but it is really bothersome how low the bar of stupidity can be lowered.

    I only wish I could receive the classic counds of WEBN on my car radio out here in the good 'ol CO. WEBN is an awesome classic rock station out of Cincinnati, OH (if anyone is intersted) that is also responsible for the best Labor Day Fireworks show in all of the USA! Check them out if you like a mix of classic and modern rock.

  7. Re:Get an Xbox and load Xbox Media Center on Networked DVD Players, Good or Bad? · · Score: 1

    An Xbox hacked with Xbox Media Center will do exactly what you want, very well and more.

    Yes, but can a DVD-R drive be made to work in Xbox as more than just a reader drive? I have seen hacks replacing the DVD drive, but I do not recall seeing one where a DVD-R was used and capable of actual recording. If you know of one (I have not looked recently), please let me know as I would love to do this.

    This is not a sig.

    for one, receive 3Mbs downstream and 1.5Mbs upstream through Cincinnati Bell at the cost of $41.95/mo.

    Since when is the upload 1.5Mbps? I just had my Zoomtown upgraded as part of their new program and the speed was listed as 3Mbps/768Kbps? If you are getting 1.5Mbps down, I want to know as I will have a bone to pick with CB!

    EVERY YEAR he was president EXCEPT 1984

    FY1981 Reagan: $655.2 Congress: $678.2

    FY1982 Reagan: $695.3 Congress: $745.8

    FY1983 Reagan: $773.3 Congress: $808.4

    FY1984 Reagan: $862.5 Congress: $851.8

    FY1985 Reagan: $940.3 Congress: $946.4

    FY1986 Reagan: $873.7 Congress: $990.3

    FY1987 Reagan: $994.0 Congress: $1003.9

    FY1988 Reagan: $1024.3 Congress: $1064.1

    FY1989 Reagan: $1094.2 Congress: $1144.2

    Note that the Democratic party controlled the House all eight years of Reagan's presidency, and the Senate the last two. Had it not been for excessive spending by Congress (which also increased the amount of "locked in" spending for each successive budget), the budget deficit would have disappeared by the end of Reagan's term.
