They messed up our cable, so in the winter, whenever the sun would go down, it would get cold and we would get no signal.
They finally cranked up the signal, but then in the early summer/late spring, the moment the sun would get up in the sky and it would get warm, the signal would cut out because it was too hot.
Also, every time we call in, they ask if we have a router. Of course we do, so we say we do. They tell us that it's the router's fault, before we even explain what's going on. This may be standard ISP practice, but it's still ridiculous.
If we need someone to come out for a service call, and call on a Monday, they'll tell us they'll have someone out here by Thursday. Only problem with that is, no one is home, with both parents working and both kids at school. They won't fix anything without talking to the people who called in, so they always show up when we're gone, and then tell us they'll come back again sometime, but don't tell us when.
I'd say they get around a 7. When it works, it works well, but when it doesn't work, it's a really ridiculous process to get it fixed.
Too bad if you're using IE, you won't be able to see it, because IE can't handle PNGs.
I really hope IE7 adds better PNG support. I got used to using PNGs after using Firefox and Safair for so long, I totally forgot about IE not knowing how to handle them.
Instead of being able to just throw a bunch of PNGs in a directory and link to them, I ended up making a bunch of html pages that consisted of a single img src tag, because I guess IE knows how to handle embedded PNGs, but not those which are standalone.
Anyways, that's it for the rant, your link just made me think of IE's shitty PNG support.
I got my friend to pick up a copy so we could use it during school. Just told the teacher we were both taking notes, and I just make a network on my iBook, he joined, and we chatted away.
Therefore, it would most likely work in your office, no internet connection needed.
The battery cycles. Kids in my classes take laptops that have been used for an hour and just plug them back in again, and it happens every hour. I really wonder how long it will be until they stop holding charges.
It also reminds me of kids who leave their iPod backlights on even when they aren't using them, they're just sitting in the kids' pockets.
"OMG WHY DOES MY IPOD NOT LAST AS LONG AS YOURZ? ITS GHEY!"
If you don't read Apple's instructions, and you fuck up the battery cycles, it's not going to be good for you iPod.
I've had stellar performance with my iPod Shuffle, and even pretty good performance with an iPod that is used almost exclusively with an iTrip FM transmitter that drains the batteries quite nicely.
This whole thing is bullshit, let alone the topic of the lawyers getting all the money from everything...

What if you have to call 911?
VOIP? More like voiPWND.
I sure hope I don't get pwnd.
I thought only Mac users shopped at IKEA?
The downside is that browsers don't give programmers full access to a computer's resources such as memory, process power and hard disk space.
I thought IE gave everyone access to everything on your computer?
And make sure to use the word "pwn" while on the phone with 911. :)
If your brain was operating at 10 petaflops, it would have only taken a few seconds to realize.
dude your so dumb no body care if there spelling those wrong
Yeah, I agree. That really pisses me off.
I for one, blame it on people using things like AIM so much, and teachers not caring about surface errors.
But then again, one of my teachers wrote "LOL" on a paper of mine. Sad.
The worst part about it is when people argue "it's the internet, it doesn't matter."
I wish there was a way I could set the Autofill feature to fill from Podcasts, like you can from certain playlists.
Oh well, I was surprised enough when I put one on my Shuffle, and then the moment I turned it on, it started up right to the Podcast.
What's a Catalic?
I googled it and came up with -
Did you mean: catalytic
I'd say Charter isn't too good.

I could beat the computer in a boxing match.
Anyways, everybody knows a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of brains.
Damn, that's a lot cooler than this.
Yeah, but Dell makes their own MP3 player, so of course anything other than that isn't impressive.
Dell doesn't make their own OS.
I think you're right about Jobs not letting it happen, not only because of holding a grudge, but because they'd lose so much money.
They already had like 5 bajillion hours of cut scenes in Halo 2.
Take out the game play in between, and you've got a movie that's longer than most of the ones coming out lately.
Gundam is for gays.
ps mods - this is informative, not flamebait.
The only obvious solution - Quit.
Trillian Pro supports serverless IM, aka Bonjour (or Rendezvous pre-name change).

Who do they hire to read the outgoing emails of the people they hired to read outgoing emails?
Fiddy Cent was recently heard saying that Archos is "Fresh like Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
Archos Widescreen is PIMP!
Hilarious. Now please come clean the non existent coffee off my keyboard that I spit out while laughing at your utterly mind boggling joke.
Well shit.
I've always gone with the let it drain as far as I can method because of what I was told by one of the guys at an Apple store about it.

This + this = Longhorn.
Oh well, I guess Apple asked for it.
