  1. TimeWarner almost there on An End To Unencrypted Digital Cable TV and the HTPC · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've got TimeWarner Cable in the Los Angeles area. As it stands I only get 3 EB channels and 2 Digital only channels in ClearQAM. And they keep moving analog EB channels to Digital only tiers and not offering them in ClearQAM either. Overall the number of channels you can get without their box has been reduced by at least 10 channels in the past 5 years.

  2. Re:Urban Transit on US Plans To Bulldoze 50 Shrinking Cities · · Score: 1

    Vote this guy up. I grew up in the Venice area. Back then is was the nice LA suburbs that my parents moved to to keep the kids safe. Now it's become mostly just a ghetto area. There are some areas near Santa Monica that are still nice, but that's because of the more urban feel around Santa Monica where they have expensive condos that Yuppies want to live in. Everywhere else is just cheap sprawl.

  3. Common Misconception on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    The URL of your page has nothing to do with the Google pagerank. See: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html

  4. Re:What? on Matching Up Hotkeys for OS X and Linux GUIs? · · Score: 4, Informative

    even easier: in the Keyboard section (of the Keyboard & Mouse system pref) click the modifier keys button (on the lower left). There you can change the command key to be the control key. And switch other ones around too.

  5. Re:Fender Benders? on Introducing Magnet-Responsive Memory Foam · · Score: 1

    Fenders are the pieces that go around the wheels, while bumpers are what go in front and behind the car... even in the other "colonies"
