    Windows 8 Interface?

    Lol but at least we still would have Server Core to rely on if it got that bad. Well until they get rid of it at least lol.

    MRV cost $20.00 Is this true?

    I thought that is what the extra 30 bucks a month was for. Last I checked I could get an entire internet account for not much more than that. They charge the install fee because they can. I don't believe for one second that a tech is needed to hook up a box for highend customers. Lets be...

    Best Internet Phone (VoIP) Services?

    I've been using PhonePower for the last 6 or so months at least. My experience has been great without one outage (that I was aware about at least) and the voice quality has been fantastic. When I first got the service my voice calls didn't always work (either bad quality or call drops) when I...

    MRV cost $20.00 Is this true?

    Because they can get away with it because people are willing to pay it. This fee is completely over the top for the work being done just like the Lightning install fee. Now this large fee at least does have a decent amount of legitimate work compared to the Lightning fee. Now this is just my...

    MRV cost $20.00 Is this true?

    To upgrade to whole home DVR you need to pay a one time $100 installation fee. Also every box in your home must be swapped out for MOCA boxes. If you currently have a box that has a MOCA sticker on it you won't need to have it swapped. However if you have a mix of brands such as two Cisco...

    CES-2011 PR: DIRECTV and Samsung Showcase Multi-room DVR Technology On Samsung Smart TVs

    Is it just me for does this type of technology seem to be the main focus at CES this year. With FIOS, Comcast, TWC and DirecTV all announcing some type of hardware partner to support TV services over some form of IP technology it just seems like this is big. I for one think this is major news...

    How can I connect to a computer in my home network, from my office, through internet?

    All of these are great options but they make one very critical assumption. They assume that the companies network allows outgoing connections through their firewall using client applications. Because of this trend to secure their networks you need to be looking only at options that fully use...

    Whatever happened to TechTV and Leo LaPorte and Patrick Norton

    I could be wrong but I think your talking about Yoshi.

    Whatever happened to TechTV and Leo LaPorte and Patrick Norton

    I remember the show with Chris where this older man brought in a very rare technology (computer I think) and it broke in his hands. Just the Oh S**t was classic as heck. I know it sucked for the guy but that is something you don't see everyday. I do wish these shows were still on the air...

    Networking problems. Please help!

    That is classic Windows XP and that specific issue has always been a problem. I've always felt it was some type of naming resolution issue like a few others have said. I've seen NetBIOS and WINS resolution issues and I've seen cases when ARP refused to work and anytime your unable to complete...

    Networking problems. Please help!

    My first suggestion on the XP machine would be to verify that Simple File Sharing is turned on. Open up My Computer. Next click the Tools Menu and select Options. Next click the View Tab. In the scroll box look at the very last option which is Simple File Sharing. If this is unchecked...

    Unsolvable PC Problem ?

    Unsolvable PC Problem ?

    First because Windows 7 takes an extremely long time to install coupled with the fact that system performance is just as bad before and after the windows install rules "in" very limited options. These options are listed from most likely to least likely. 1. Hard Drive 2. Motherboard...

    Locations with FIOS available!!!

    First after spending 10 minutes looking for the sticky option it just dawned on me that I'm not a Staff Member anymore lol. Maybe when I have more time in the future I'll get more involved. Okay so any fellow staff members can sticky this if they believe it can be of value. This thread is...

    Music in ITunes but not on Ipod?

    Seems unusual because an MPEG audio file could be an MP3. An MP3 file is an MPEG audio layer 3 file. Maybe you have a layer 1 or 2 MPEG audio file that isn't supported in iTunes. Regardless you need to find an audio transcoder that can convert this file to a standard mp3 file. I'm assuming...

    IT Career question

    First a security background check is far more detailed than a firearm check. This also is an understatement as well so just keep that in mind. Now for the type of career change I would look at an area that nearly all of America needs to function but will never be able to give up. This area...

    Wierd Win7 problem - must disable/enable devices at reboot

    I'd start with a chipset driver update. If that doesn't work I would verify that all the proper services are set to start automatically. This will take much more than one simple post though. Also this could be a BIOS issue with Win7 that could be fixed by installing a BIOS update (flash the...

    Player fined for dropping popup.

    I've been very busy with school and bowling. Between those two things I have no time left for myself anymore. I've even started getting involved in disc golfing but I realized I need LOTS more practice lol. I'll be around here off and on for the most part.

    Player fined for dropping popup.

    For the kind of money some of these guys get if they decide to be lazy and make careless catches and end up dropping one I'd say that warranted a fine. Hey I get docked in pay if I make a stupid careless mistake. If I'm paying big money to see my team live (tickets, drinks, food, parking etc)...

    MLB 2010 Season

    I'm a Rays fan and can see how good they are and IMO I believe they are the best team in baseball this year. However this is a very long season (not even a quarter of the way through yet) and anything can happen. What I can say without a doubt is that the Yankees as much as I hate them are a...

    CNBC: If NFL Lockout in 2011, D* still on hook for $700 Million

    Doesn't contract law state that if one party cannot comply with the contract regardless of the reason that it null and voids the contract. I'm almost 100% positive regardless of what CNBC says that if the NFL cannot provide access to the game feeds (no games being played) as per the contract...

    BEWARE OF FIELD TECHS!!!

    This does sound fishy to me. Oh and on the PPV thing I did have that happen once in which I was billed 4.99 for a PPV movie. I called them and they said one of my boxes did indeed order it and that somebody else must have ordered it. So I took a video camera and showed all three boxes and...

    Losing my mind - Thanks Verizon

    Contact your credit agencies and get a debt validation letter. This forces Verizon to prove you owe this debt. If they come back saying you do owe it you can at this point file charges which would allow you to access the records showing these boxes are on another customers account proving you...
