This made it on/. and my submition about a stone map, obviously made by machine, dated at 120 million years old didn't??? I guess I have a skewed view of what is interesting.
OK, Thank you, I will follow the links you guys gave to learn more about him and a 1000 lashes with a wet noodle for being a/. reader and not knowing about him. If it gives me any points I have installed both Mandrake and Red Hat on my computer and would still be using Red Hat if Unreal Tournament would run fast enough on it:)
If you get a Dish Network 501 or the new 701 you can record all u want with no monthly fees and a great picture. No converting analog cable for recording, everything is digital. Cable sucks.

Your right to some extent. DirecTV is up for sale the only question is who will buy it, one of the other big names was Fox communications, no matter who buys DTV a lot of jobs will be lost. As far as concerns of a Monopoly Dish Net.s prices will be kept in check by the competition from cable.
Tv's (HD or not) can not display true black because the tube (or screen on a big screen)can't get any darker than it is when it is off. The contrast tricks our eyes into see or believing it is blacker than it really is. I have worked for 10 years with tv's & Sattelite systems and have installed close to 100 HD sat. system some w/UHF ant. for local broadcasts. The picture is awsome but there aren't a lot of HD broadcasts at the moment (about 10) but with Dish Networks bid to buy DirecTV they will double there satellites (4 to 9) and potential bandwith. We should see a lot more HD channels after that.
