  1. Er mer freakin' gerd! They're offering something that's available to anyone over the air, with a Mohu HDTV antenna, for "free."

    Well, the short quote from the article was "It will be the Turner content. It will not have sports. It'll be entertainment-centered." So, it will include non-over-the-air channels, and it will not include sports. Of course, that's sort of contradictory. If Turner content includes TNT and TBS, then it will either include NBA games or those programs will be blacked out. It it did include sports, then I would consider canceling Sling TV and switching to AT&T.

  2. Re: So it's turning into a community college? on University of Chicago To Stop Requiring ACT and SAT Scores For Prospective Undergraduates (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    I will only be surprised on how long it takes for them to admit that they had a drop in incoming student quality.

    Stanford hasn't required the SAT for some time, and I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a drop in incoming student quality.

    This is technically true, but not really representative of the actual requirement. From the Stanford website: "For the application process, we require test scores from either the ACT with Writing or the SAT with Essay. If you take the ACT, the writing section is required. If you take the SAT, the essay section is required. Test scores without writing/essay will not complete the testing requirement for the application."
