I love that you can follow the path of the rover backwards... you can see where the wheel stopped working, and where it got stuck in the sand going up the hill. Awesome.
My 200 channels at $56 + tax includes all of those channels except BBC3 and BBC4 (and considering i live in USA, not surprising. and of course I won't get Canadian CBC). So i get my Scifi, CNNi, Comedy Central and CN. And I get CN On Demand, CC On Demand, BBC on demand, and CNN on demand. I fail to see how yours is better...
I'm sorry to hear that you're getting ripped off where you live. Where I live, digital cable is ~$56 + tax. that's roughly 180 channels, 1 converter box, and access to payperview and ondemand services. Standard cable (no box) is ~$48 for 80 channels.
You do know the cable company is the middleman giving you TV, right? The cable co is given a package of channels from the provider; the studios. The studio says, if you want this "cool" channel, you have to take these "sucky" channels too. If the cable co doesn't give you the sucky channels, the studio yanks their contract, and you don't get any channels.
So I assume from your post you'd be happy with an a-la-carte cable? Fine. You pay $5 and up for each of the channels you want (a common price point in most arguments). Pick your favorite 11 channels. Congrats. You are now paying MORE than I am with my 200 channels, non a la carte. But you have what YOU want, right?
I'll be interested in seeing what the outcome of this case actually is. If you pay attention when RTFA... You'll see that both the guys are ALREADY IN JAIL. One of them is trying to appeal, but they've already been convicted and sentenced.
Iranian nuclear program has to be stopped, Iranian terrorist support has to be stopped, Iranian leaders must be killed, those who support them must be killed.
Go back about 4 years, change Iran to Iraq, and you end up in the exact situation we have now. And that's turned out SO well, hasn't it. Is that you GW?
Actually, I'd say "Profit" would exist at steps 1a and 2a. spammers make profit off stupid people. Antivirus/antispam makers make profit off both stupid and "smart" people.
The only winners are the spammers and antivirus companies. The consumer loses twice.
More likely you'll have to google more to find good windows tools, as they'll take the good ones, strip out the good stuff and then add them to Windows, where they'll be only slightly better than useless. If you can't make something better, buy out the opposition and bury their product.
5-30? What kind of crappy p2p program are you using? The last time I downloaded something with bittorrent I was connected to ~150 seeds and ~120+ peers... methinks you need an upgrade.
Interesting... I pay my balance off every month, and they raise my credit line. So, is it because they like me, or because they hope i'll spend more and _not_ be able to pay it off in one month?
This is where it's nice having a last name of Smith. Searching for my name on google gives 36.5 million results. and last time i checked, nothing in the first 15 pages of links is anywhere near me.

That was America, not Toad the Wet Sprocket. So your post makes no sense.

Awesome.

As a Time Warner employee, I (and nearly all of my co-workers) can't wait till they drop the fucking dead weight that is AOL.
At least $25 Million. As that was the cost of development...

Thank you for making me laugh out loud at work. :(
I'd mod you up, but no points.
