  1. Re:We use Nod32 on Central Anti-Virus For Small Business? · · Score: 1

    Not a single product is perfect. Have to use various ones. I personall use SuperAntiSpyware, SpyBot, Norton AntiVirus, etc.

  2. Re:I lost several channels. :( on DTV Transition Mostly Smooth, Windows Media Center Problems · · Score: 1

    The only problem is I am disabled so I am not a handy man. Is that finished antenna inside a place? Or outdoor which I can't do?

  3. Re:I lost several channels. :( on DTV Transition Mostly Smooth, Windows Media Center Problems · · Score: 1

    Interesting stuff. I was able to get KTTV on my and folks' converter boxes (Zeinth and dTV Pal). All showed KTTV's signals in 50-60%. My PC's HDTV tuner cards can't get any signal locks. Even if it is lock, nothing. That includes rabbit ears for VHF. KCOP13, KABC7, and KCAL9 were decent.

  4. I lost several channels. :( on DTV Transition Mostly Smooth, Windows Media Center Problems · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had most of the channels working on both analog and digital before the change. But now, I lost them due to VHF and DB2 bowtie antenna. Both rabbit ears and bowtie separately can't get all stations like KTTV 11, etc. Funny how all transmitters are in one location but yet I have to rotate, tilt, etc. my Terk rabbit ears. I never had to do that with my DB2 antenna before the 12th. :(

    People think it is my old Air2PC HDTV tuner cards (2005) due to third generation vs. the newer ones. I really don't want to have to spend money to buy new cards nor buy cable/sattelite (subscriptions suck and am not rich). I also can't put an antenna on the roof and in the attic since owners refuse and I am disabled to do it myself.

    Bah.

    OK, maybe I am not fully awake but I didn't get the comic strip. What am I missing for the funny part?

    Has the game improved since the beta tests? I didn't like it much during beta compared to WoW.

  8. Re:GigaNews and $9.95 for unlimited! on AT&T Dropping Usenet Netnews; Low-Cost Alternatives? · · Score: 1

    Ah OK. Well, I only have to pay $9.95 for mine. I am sure one day EarthLink will drop it.

    You have to ask for it. I said it wrong. It is "EarthLink Experience" plan. See http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,10338367?hilite=earthlink+experience ... I still have this plan. I got it last summer.

    Ah. Well, it will be soon (59 days). ;) Do other servers have it that high or up to 365 yet?

  11. Re:Do you get a discount now? on AT&T Dropping Usenet Netnews; Low-Cost Alternatives? · · Score: 1

    Doubt it. When TWC's RoadRunner took its usenet service down, I complained about it and got almost half-price of normal Internet service for a year ($49.95 to $26.95).

  12. GigaNews and $9.95 for unlimited! on AT&T Dropping Usenet Netnews; Low-Cost Alternatives? · · Score: 1

    But GigaNews has ONE year (365 days) retention!

    EarthLink used SuperNew that was bought out by Giganews, so you can get 10 hours dial-up plan (useful if your broadband goes down and if you still have a dial-up modem) that comes with unlimited Giganews access (EarthLink's SuperNews servers). No SSL and only two connections at once though. :(

  13. Like ESPN360? on Epix Provides "Free" HD Studio Content Via TV and Internet · · Score: 1

    I think this is like ESPN360 like AT&T ISP can show this, but not TWC's RoadRunner.

    It was during last night's Lakers (Go Lakers!) vs. Magic game #2. I am sure that will boost traffics.

    I watched two Tetris documentaries (can find the links to watch them on http://www.aqfl.net/?q=node/4263 ).

    Are there any good ones on UNIX too?

  21. PC Games at EBGames on Publishers Want a Slice of Used Game Market · · Score: 1

    Before Gamestop bought EBgames and dropped buying used PC games, I used to sell my unwanted PC games to the stores. I noticed prices ranged from $2 (No One Lives Forever 2) to $10 (Diablo 2 for three years old). I don't do auction like eBay. I bet they sell my used games way more than what I got back. :P

  25. Re:Wait on Crysis 2 Confirmed For Multiple Platforms · · Score: 1

    "Crysis only falls flat on its face when it comes to:
    - The AI [The biggest issue is their lack of taking cover and inability to find you when you stealth.]
    - The aliens [Boring to fight compared to the north koreans]
    - Wide expansive levels that you really can't go anywhere on."

    Will Crysis 2 fix these issues? Far Cry 2 still has problems too.

    Does Crytek sell their game engines to other companies like id Software does?
