Adelphia Comcast transition has me waiting for Opera to load a page.
New behavior, Vonage conversation breaks up while downloading. *********** Cable Choice please? Choice would create a competitive market that would rush to system upgrades to win customer loyalty.
I believe a "Public Antenna" Role is also required.
Anyone connects any TV to a RF cable line, it is in Antenna mode. Anything the Antenna picks up, is tuned UHF/VHF. Local Super Antenna service.
Who would Not vote for that?
Given the overwhelming public support for this, why the utter silence? Wild Gue$$?
It is the right, proper thing to do, right now.
PPV dlds of publicly aired TV shows. is what we have right now. Absolutely Outrageous.
I second that. I do use all three. currently updated Kaspersky6 thinks IE7 is a malicious, evil threat, wants it gone. Not evil though, new politeness in fact,
When it crashes, pop-up says "sorry for the inconvenience", it waits for me to click,
then it quietly goes away.
It was once possible that learning Chinese might be necessary. Rise from the rubble and say (insert chinese word here) Thankfully, they got it.
Thier society could stand some opening up by my standards, but they get it. They will become a stronger and stronger ally of stability and peace, of friendship as we go foreward. I am cheering for them all the way. I love em. Whole bunch of people, just going about thier bidness. A very far cry from the cold war scariness.
My mom worked in a shoe factory. I do not have to.
They are willing. I am thankful. I need shoes. 12 bux at walmart. Cheapest shoes in history.
We need courage, education, innovation, more musicians. Our standard of living is through the moon. The poorest of us have cars, Tv's, DVD's. Heat, hot water,flush toilets,mp3 players and electric guitars,microwaves, washing machines and new blue jeans.
If you are getting down, ask for help, get back to school, chase that dream, drop the bitchy girlygirl for a hippy chick. genuine Hippy chicks are great, really.
I do not pretend that this change is easy, or not demanding on us, but the basics have never been so easy, ever. And there is a lot of help out there, if you got the guts to ask. i am extrememy thankful.
IpalindromeI said "I think Sony is a lot closer to being pushed out of the console game than Nintendo."
Yup. Nintendo is looking very strong to me this season. Especially,to parents of the little kids.
Nin I was 99 bux with a game. A great game. Po' peeple could get wit it, just like the the rich kids. Great.
360 slow sales is price resistance, no killer app yet. Halo Incoming will change that. Price cut will double it, I get off the fence that day.
But...PS2 sold 100 million units, one Billion games. That is a damn large base of faithful there, it is.
Sony is gonna have a price disadvatage,less games, and only 600,000 in the US for Xmas. Default third place. That totally screws the game developers who kicked ass,fighting sonys changing specs and bs all the way, finally to get em out for the release. They sweat christmas, gauranteed to see red, and dust on the shelves. They will be upstaged by newer stuff while Xbox starts a major burst with thier new games.
Possible the developers will say, screw sony and go to the Xbox,Ms will grease with cash incentives,port to Xbox, exclusive to Xbox future.
The huge advantage of the fantastic number of games available for PS2 is lost.
I do not under rate Sony, that 100 million base, but overall,it is not adding up. Walmart would be a major nail in that coffin.
They have significant weight, they know the market, they will get the price that they know they need or they won't bother. Sony needs Walmart, more than Walmart needs Sony. Add in that Wally could threaten to drop Blue ray and movies, plus the incoming inevitable
100$ HD player.
This turns folks eyes on the 500-800$ HD sets over there next to the oreos and milk. The revolution will be televised, and in HD.
Great news for the consumer.And big fun. Pass the popcorn.
How is Walmart any different than Kmart, or Sears before it? The sears catalog ended retail as we know it?
Walmart return policy is no questions asked. Excuse me, "you want the cash, or credit to the card?"
BS on above comment regarding difficulty at same. Complete BS. . I went through 3 dvd recorders in three years, returned the first two after 88 days, (and the majority of the Pats season recorded) both made too many coasters. Price went from 299 to 99, the crappy little ilo 99$ unit just records. Not hackable, no DivX,(thats why I have XBMC) But it works. They will have the 100$ HD player soon, like the 360 gadget. Plus it will come with a cable to plug it in.
This is the great benefit of free open world trade, dreamed of by visionaries for centuries, arrived at through much difficulty, and a thankfully common thread of faith from RR,George I, through Billy C, to george II.
Enjoy it whle it lasts, it could get broken, people.
Locally, many folks are bent by the big boxes, I get that. But big box of cornflakes at the big box Wallyworld is 1 buck fitty. I get that too.
I am sick of the politicization of it though. I shop at Walmart because I need to, single dad, more expenses than money. You want to pay more, feel free. Walmart makes it possible for me to live here in Lovely uncrowded, beautiful,polite east nowhere vermont, and not be at the mercy of the classic ripoff local grocery/hardware store that charges Crazy prices, pays its people crap with no benefits, then screams how they are the heart and soul of the community. Right.

"Congregations" went over my head.
Sleep deprivation, and a hangover contribute today.This is Rare for me now, thankfully.
I am serious though. Re reading it, it seems I may have sounded sarcastic, or somehow negative. Not my intent, at all.
I do not have the kinds of skills of the Bell Labs people,or the best of the posters here.
Those were significant people, who did significant things, a historic assembly of great minds. I genuinely admire these folks. For me,/. is an opportunity to sit across the table to listen.
I think there is a modern equivalent of the old Bell Labs.It is harder to see it at present, of course.
Somewhere,though it is happening. Clues of it are likely to show up here.

"... The Xbox line has never turned a profit, and the 360 is highly unlikely to make a profit this time around either. "
Paragraph 10 here:
http://money.cnn.com/2006/10/24/technology/micros
"Goldman Sachs analyst Rick Sherlund wrote in a recent research note. Sherlund, who has a "buy" rating on Microsoft, expects the company's Xbox operation to turn profitable by the September quarter of 2007."

That connection to deep space is too slow. Bad wireless, I guess. They should upgrade.
