  1. Re:SBC partners with Satellite provider on IPTV Revolution Put on Hold · · Score: 1

    It is Dishnet. I was in an Echostar facility in Arizona a few weeks ago helping setup the network links between them and SBC Austin, they are going to be launching some trials there.

  2. Re:I work for rebater on Best Buy to Eliminate Rebates · · Score: 1

    I bought a monitor last year from Office Depot and after submitting the two rebates received a postcard in the mail. The postcard claimed that I was denied the rebate since the date was out of the approved purchase window. Funny thing since the other rebate was approved, and they were for the same time-frame. Long story short I called the 800 number and they noticed that for the second rebate they had filed it as if I were living in Hawaii (which had a different time-frame for the rebate start and end.) I pointed out that nowhere in my address or on the receipt did it say anything about Hawaii and they agreed over the phone to reprocess the rebate. Granted it took another 4 weeks after that to get a check, but I did actually get both rebates paid out. On the other hand if I hadn't gotten the postcard explaining I was denied I likely wouldn't have ever gotten the second rebate (naturally it was the $50 rebate that was initially denied, not the $30 one...)

  3. Re:So will they finally get rid of that stupid thi on Yahoo buys Flickr · · Score: 1

    I use the Mozilla Flashblock plug-in and hate having to click on the icon for every single image. It's just an image already, why on earth would it need Flash? I've managed to build a large gallery of images on my own website and never had to use Flash once, maybe they couldn't figure it out?

  4. Re:Torrent on Star Wars Revelations - May the Force Be With You! · · Score: 1

    The torrent works great (thanks for that), but your MIME type is set to [video/quicktime]. So you either need to do a right click and "Save Link As..." or use wget to snag the torrent file. Once you do though it works fine and I'm getting great speeds, so thanks again!

  5. Re:45 minutes?!? on Google Building Tech Center Near Portland · · Score: 1

    1.25 hours? Not the way the idiots in this area drive. Get ready to go 40 mph the whole way because the guy in the left lane won't be able to figure out how to pass and get out of the way. I've travelled quite a bit for work and I can say with certainty, the worst drivers on the planet drive in the Portland area. Sure, Boston is aggressive, LA has bad traffic, but the people here just don't understand how to drive a car.
