Different Direct TV brands yield different results.
I had a hugues receiver and it worked fine, you could scroll through the guide with only about a second delay (for current programs) or 4 seconds (for later programs -- but part of that was because I had hacked the timezone so I could get local channels)
Now, I've also had a RCA receiver that would take 5 seconds or so to switch stations. Later model RCA's seemed to be a bit better about it, but still the interface seemed klunky and slow.
If they don't make it even cheaper, and get it on OEM boards, it won't stand a chance anyway.
The Nforce boards were nice, but they still failed to acheive good penetration.

Wouldn't it be a better use of your and your coworkers time if you could actually be doing something *useful* instead of just cleaning up the dung heaps of the internet?

So?
Download the nocd crack and enjoy your game.

7zip is an awesome compression format. I'm getting dang near 60-70% compression when zipping up SQL Databases.
It's funny....using one of the sponsors of the ESPN poker (partypoker.com) is still illegal in all 50 states.
How's that for irony.

and that was god-awful coverage two.
Like 28 minutes of interviews and 2 minutes of actual gameplay.
No strategy discussion at all.
Fink was the man though!
Like I tell my wife...
You know if you sell a million for a $1 (net) profit apiece, you have a million dollars.

not really.
It's 250MB of patches for XP Pro, XP Home, and XP Meida edition. 3 slightly different OS.
Regular for a single one of these would only be around 50-60 meg.

More like pollute.
They've managed to totally botch up the half.com "transition" that's been going on for the last year or so.
They just don't seem to understand that they can't possibly scale up to a single back end for everything.

Geez.
Is it so hard to pre-program your phone with the fire dept, police dept, and hospital into your friggen speed dial?
Then you don't *need* 911.

Yeah, tell me about it.
We've got some mainframe old skool file transfer software that we've had running for about 15 years.
Then, one day, CA buys it and kills our license for it.
For no reason.
We'd be happy to keep paying the 10,000/yr license fee, but they stopped renewing all licenses for it.

You'll find that you'll have much more time to play games when you're not tethered to the PC..
I think I beat golden sun (RPG) while exclusively on the shitter.
Because their OS takes way too much time and resources to develop?
And doesn't seem to be revolutionary when it comes out...i mean we haven't seen any real innovation since windows 2000.

Go wireless...
NES had a wireless 3rd party adapter
SNES had some really really crappy wireless adapters
N64 not sure
GC - Wavebird
Yeah, and then they bill it to the artist.
Lovely.

But you have to think of all the gameplay you'll get from the countless excellent mods that will come out using the doom3 engine.
It's just like unreal tournament 2004 is like getting 10-20 *very* different games for $35.
Same concept for doom 3.
Fine.
Do the following.
1. Get of your ass and write your senator / Congressmen
2. Vote the bums out.
Simple.

OT maybe but still deserves +1 insightful.
no mod points for me today
Bah. Why pay a monthly fee?
.03/min and no monthly service charge.

Well, if you watch the show....
Like paul moody said, if you're black, don't get popular, or the white man will come take your show
It scared the bejeesus out me (a ms shareholder) when I saw OpenOffice specificially mentioned in last years annual report.

But in a good way.

So how fast does it go if you add a "Type -R" sticker on the front bezel?
Does a "Type +R" go any faster?
