  1. upgrade? on Windows Upgrade, FAA Error Cause LAX Shutdown · · Score: 0, Redundant

    upgrade from Unix to Windows

    does that statement boggle anyone else's mind?

  2. Re:Firefox desserves this... on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 2, Informative

    flash block or click to view works fine for me with .9.3 and all the earlier versions of ff that i've used... just go to mozdev.org... type in flashblock in the search... the first result will be the project page... go there... click on the installation link... get either the one w/ the whitelist or the plain jane flashblock extension... rockit!

    jfk, mlk, gahndi... the list goes on and on

    luckily i'm still alive ;-)

  4. Take this into account. on Tivo and Netflix Partner For DVDs on Demand · · Score: 5, Interesting

    To me it seems like blockbuster and netflix and the like are probably feeling the squeeze from all this tivo/dvr/video-on-demand and need to partner w/ these companies that get into the home each and every day.

    When I worked with my local cable provider in tech support for the highspeed clients the cable provider was beta testing the inDemand features in new cable boxes. The employees who wanted to help were the beta testers. I enjoyed the sneak peek at the near future, but on to my main point...

    One day i was helping the guy who was deploying the inDemand systems and I was asking him about the technical details and scaling the systems. At the end of the conversation he put it this way:

    "They're basically gunning to put blockbuster out of business.."

    that's not the exact quote but close... and of course it was only his opinion, but who knows... blockbuster will soon be at the knees of these cable companies with on-demand movies because they can get it to the home.

    mod me down if u must
