Let me Google that for you.
Looks like there are a wide variety, even DVD players with ATSC tuners built in. They will only get better as time goes on; early portable TVs kind of sucked too.
People are poor at selecting for some things. You think 4 wheel drive was a primary selection criteria? That may have been what people said, but it was being sold to them on freedom and safety. And interior volume? If people wanted interior volume, they would buy minivans and wagons. They wanted to sit up high. Reptile brain at work.
Then you were an idiot. The only difficult to service part on the original iMac was the power board. The rest was easy; I did warranty service for Apple at the time and loved working on those machines.
iTunes is missing one big feature: you cannot keep your library in lossless and transcode it automatically to lossy when it goes on the player. Oh, the feature is there, it is just grayed out. You can use it with the Shuffle, but with any other iPod, no luck.
You might want to be careful about holding Mercedes up as an example - they had some serious quality problems in the DaimlerChrysler era. They seem to be getting back on track now that they've shed Chrysler, and their bad reliability was still Pretty Good, but they weren't the top-notch quality of the Mercedes of old.
This would be why there is a 'if you smell gas, don't start the car unless you can figure out where it's coming from' instruction in the owner's manual for my car. You read the owner's manual for your car, right? If it came without one, the manufacturer will happily supply one. That was the most expensive avoiding of a tow you've probably ever had.
The line card I used has two dead lines on it, but I didn't include those in the average - I know how to do math.:) This is a mix of business and home users, and like I said is our ADSL2 product so it's people who are technically interested; all the little old ladies are still on regular ADSL as it is cheaper. Yes, it is possible that the Comcast average is much different, but I doubt it's by more than a doubling or so.
Seriously doubt away, but it's probably true. I just picked the data transfer stats for a random line card in a randomly picked DSLAM, otherwise known as the DSLAM I was already logged into. There's a mix of business and home users on this slot, with a total of 24 circuits. Business users are generally much heavier than home users and skew the stats, but even so I see an average usage over the last month of 13.6 gigabytes per line. I would not be surprised in the least if the residential average was more like 10 gigabytes per month. This is for our ADSL2+ product, so it's already people who are specifically shopping for higher usage. It's fun to make numbers up, but you're off but a factor of 8 or so.
Around here, they also shit their signs all over the place. They're worse than political signs, because at least those get taken down at the end of the political season. The 1-800-G**-J*** signs stick around, and they seem to replace them if someone takes them down.
There's the third option of zooming in to the image. Yes, you're throwing some image away, but I've noticed that recent TV programs are set up to expect that, sort of like watching old Super35 movies on 4:3 TV, where the top and bottom really only contain garbage. I watch some 4:3 content zoomed and it's fine.
Careful - some of them don't have the pins wired for DMA. Make sure that's listed specifically as a feature or you'll end up with slow card performance.
You're confusing gas and diesel. Gas engines run cooler when they are run rich. Diesels run cooler when they burn the fuel more completely. The diesel injection cycle in modern engines is delayed during cold running so that some of the fuel burns in the exhaust or late in the combustion cycle, which raises exhaust temperatures. Most of what you know about gas engine dynamics goes out the window with diesel engines.
Yeah, you can hear high frequencies well if they are sustained. So you have better wiring in your brain to pick out sustained things from noise.
Lots of other people don't notice and don't care. This doesn't mean they are incapable of it, just that they are unwilling and it is outside of their existing perception.
WTH? I know not a single Dem who wanted more airport security. As far as I'm concerned, fire every single last one of them. Put machine-gunners in towers in the airports. Put 'break here in case of emergency' knives every two rows on the planes. Charge people with serious crimes if they are misused. Give handguns to the pilots. Done. Nobody has to take their shoes off any more, nobody has to show up 2 hours before the flight any more. Rehire the folks who used to x-ray bags, keep using the explosive sniffers if you are paranoid. Done.
Ever been to a colo 'meet me' room? That's a perfect use for Ethernet between ISPs. Right now, Gigabit links are the norm, and 10G links are starting to become reasonably common.
But there's another option which harms nobody and upgrades old machines at the same time: add the feature in software. Then when someone remaps, the key is still useful. Apple doesn't like adding new features to old hardware, however, so that's straight out.
Sir: thank you. You just reminded me exactly why I have Troll set at +5. For all the GNAA stupidity it pushes to the top, the odd genuine laugh-out-loud comment like this saves it.

By Verizon, you mean Sprint, right? The deal was widely publicized.

Careful, there are jobs on the loose!
Perhaps you mean lose? Read about plenty of common English errors here.
Run conduit back to your main box. When you decide to get an electric car, pull wire into it for whatever needs to be wired up.
Conduit is almost always the answer to future needs. Pulling is a non-issue for short runs once you have a safe tube to put the wire or cable into.
I work for an ISP.
We will happily sell you a DSL line that you can fill 24/7. We do, to a handful of customers.
You won't like the pricing. Wholesale bandwidth is cheap, but not by consumer broadband standards.

No, that wasn't 'the dems', that was Clinton.

Gee, you are so right. Obama has absolutely nothing else to say about energy. Maybe he should have a plan based on lots of tax credits. After all, that would be nice and socialist.

I didn't say it was pointless. You might have audio that's in a format you can't use where you want to use it.
It's still stupid, though.
Perhaps it crashed because transcoding lossy formats is a stupid thing to do?
Just saying.
