  1. Re:911 phone without phone service on Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911 · · Score: 1

    Even if this was avaialbe there is another issue. Many Vonage customers (like myself) disconnect the TelCo line at the Demarc (where the phone company's line meets your house). This way, you can hook vonage into your phone jack, and have VoIP on all your phone jacks. You must disconnect at the demarc to run this. There is low voltage that runs through POTS lines. Add that voltage with voltage from the Vonage service, and you can fry your vonage box, and possibly start a fire. And if that happens, you won't be able to dial 911!

    It's a good point. I would guess that most people savy enough to install AdBlock would be less likely to use a banner ad in the first place.

  3. Re:$100 Mil on Marketing? on Creative, Apple Battle for MP3 Player Market · · Score: 1

    It is far better to have an inferior product marketed well than the other way around

    It is? Far better for whom? Alther analogy to your description: 2 products are dropped into the forest. One producer spent $100mil on R&D, the other spent $100mil on marketing. Which product is better for the consumer?

    I understand that marketing is very important, but it seems like Creative's priorities might be a bit out of whack. A press release announcing that they will crush the iPod with an onslaught of marketing? Wow, you just won me over.....

  4. $100 Mil on Marketing? on Creative, Apple Battle for MP3 Player Market · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wow, why don't they spend $100 million on making a superior product in stead of marketing an inferior one?

    Yeah, we really need Tommy Lee Jones and Pierce Brosnan to go into the crater, and save the Northwest! They'll figure something out!

    Hmmm.....the last few USB printers I have purchased haven't included a USB cable. Should we rate those printers down as well?
