  1. Re:Any download versus streaming options? on Dish Introduces $20-a-Month Streaming-TV Service · · Score: 1

    I'm in Seattle and have 1gbps/1gbps for $80 (or 100/100mbps for $60) a month. I'm not sure why you are encapsulating all of Seattle in your post. Some of us in Seattle actually do have a decent selection for internet, although not a majority. All of my friends have decent connections, of at least 25mbps or more. I do feel for you, though, as it seems you are in one of those neglected areas of the city that has been shackled by the government arguments, and rights to run needed infrastructure being denied for cash under the table reasons. I sure hope the situation gets better for you, but for some of us in the Seattle area, especially the people that don't watch ESPN, this is a practical option.

  2. Re:As a side note on HTC One X Phone Held by Customs Due to ITC Ruling · · Score: 1

    The sprint pre-order required payment up front... sadly. I was about to do this until I saw I had to pay, then wait on the phone. Thankfully, my logical side asked me to wait.

  3. Re:Backfire on Nest Labs Calls Honeywell Lawsuit 'Worse Than Patent Troll' · · Score: 1

    Same exact thing for me. My honeywell thermostat was being so annoying that I've had it shut off for 3 weeks. This story gave me just enough nudge to look at what the nest actually does from end to end, causing me to like what I saw. Purchase confirmed! I can't wait to rip the Honeywell off the wall.

  4. They really thought they could do this? on USB-IF Slaps Palm In iTunes Spat · · Score: 1

    So, what this is saying is that I can't slap a ford logo on my toyota and expect ford to warranty it for me? And when they refuse, I shouldn't complain to the DOT?

  5. Re:They should fix the following... on Gecko-based K-Meleon 0.9 browser Released · · Score: 1

    Open up the tools menu, goto advanced preferences, click accelerators, and paste this in the bottom of the file CTRL L = ID_SELECT_URL Save the file, and restart the browser. Or you can use CTRL ` , or F6 to do the same... however, I understand you're used to CTRL-L :)

  6. Re:How about an X-Prize for writing? on XPrize Founders Launch Tech Innovation Competition · · Score: 1

    Took me 3 tries to read it... I thought my ADD was kicking in or something. Glad someone else had troubles with it too :)

  7. Re:Big Green Thing? on Interview with Chris Schlaeger from Novell/SUSE · · Score: 1

  8. Too many things involved... on "Levels" of Computers the Future? · · Score: 1

    There are too many things involved as far as hardware in a PC for this to work correctly. I do not see how this would seperate different machines, one with more ram versus one with higher cpu. Would this only be leveled as far as GPU/CPU power? Well then, I'm going to buy the new dell level 10, though it only has 128MB ram. I can see even more confusing advertisments, and ways for the everyday, non-computer-saavy users to get screwed over.

  9. Long time asterisk user on Asterisk Open Source PBX 1.0 Release · · Score: 1

    I am really happy to hear this milestone. Being a long time user of asterisk, this is very welcome. I can say that asterisk is one very fine piece of software, being as flexible as it is, and can be used for JUST about anything you need to do with a phone line. I use it for SIP/VoIP and other IVR-type purposes, and have yet to be disappointed.

  10. all "thumbed" up? on USB Thumb Drives as ... Fashion Statement? · · Score: 1

    Is this the tech world's equivalent of the "chain and lock" around your neck made popular by the 80s?

  11. Still waiting... on Slack LCD TV Market Means Cheaper Phones And Monitors · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I purchased my first 15" LCD monitor over 2 years ago, and I'm still shocked how the prices have not changed all that much from then. Any price drop to get me a new 19" LCD is more than welcome with me.

  12. Re:Anyone else having installation problems? on SpamAssassin 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    This fixed the installation problems for me under RHEL ES3
