Hrm, it seems my Cable Modem just went out only 10 minutes off the phone with them, thanks RCN.

This is a very weird coincidence, not 5 minutes went buy that I got off the phone with RCN in NYC and I read this article.
I had called to cancel my cable TV service to move to Directv (HDTV) I was on hold for 20 minutes and got transferred to 2 departments. He asked why I want to cancel, and I said 'lack of HDTV programming'
I even tried last night, and someone, somehow had forwarded me to a completely different state. The representative on the other end gave the ol' "I don't know how you got forwarded here, let me forward you again."
Moral is, this happens everywhere. Best advice is to NOT GIVE UP. no matter how frustrating it is, keep on the phone to cancel their service.
fastmail.fm has a one time fee $10 that gives you IMAP POP and web. This site is much faster than myrealbox.com and has never (for me) had downtime.

This brings to me a question, does anyone know of a reliable list of efnet servers in the US?
I've been using irc.prison.net and constantly cannot connect.
The reason why it is so big is because this is the same remote Sony packages with all their DV camcorders. I have a 3 year old DSR-PD100, which has that exact same remote.
Needless to say, it would cost much more to design a new remote.
Most other countries use different hardware as well. You cannot buy a cell phone in Europe/Asia, and bring it to the US.
The cool thing about these phones is that all activation is done by a small simcard that you insert in your phone. You can have many of these (many different numbers) and they are cheap. Here in Hong Kong I can get a phone and a simcard set up in 30minutes for $50USD (about 200 minutes).
US needs to use this same simcard technology.

Apparently someone was stating that something like this was going to happen. I guess 'Big Brother' doesn't do too much scanning of public boards.

Seems to be updating everything without a hitch... good speeds too.
I'm not a troll!

Can't wait to try out my new windoze lookalike desktop.
