    Netflix sues Blockbuster Online

    I never have a problem with Netflix. Mail it out today, it gets to Denver tomorrow, I get the next in queue the day after that. Can't ask for more.

    What really happened to the levees in NO

    I thought you were smarter than that. The only way to compare those numbers (not that they're relevant) is on a per-capita basis. Let's see. N.O.(300)=500K people. Iraq(800)=10s of MILLIONS of people. It's not even worth doing the math. :cool:

    would america have been SAFER with kerry?

    Excellent, thoughtful post, Van! However, the public perception of why we are there (which is based only in part on what the administration has said) are NOT the real reasons we are there - but that's a topic all on it's own. Suffice it to say that countries rarely (if ever) go to war for...

    Mcafee Warning...CAUTION!!!

    Me too! I'm surprised that no one has mentioned AVG from Grisoft. That's what we use and recommend, and no customers return infected. Unobstrusive, reasonable footprint, good updating. Free for home use. Can't beat it. Aside: John McAfee lives near our shop (and is an occassional...

    Netflix Recommendations - does it work?

    I've rated 600 movies at Netflix, and their recommendation system works for me. In fact, it started working well after less than 100 recommndations. How about you? P.S. I didn't even get this post edited to my liking (5 minutes) before 3 people voted!

    And I'm positive you're wrong. It varies by state.

    Happy 75th National Anthem

    I was pleasantly surprised at the Mexican singer at the opening of the NASCAR race in Mexico City today. She did a better job than at least 80% of the Americans I've been hearing. Hit EVERY note perfectly, and didn't try to "improve" it with some garbage "style".

    WHY is VE still advertising the 200 dollar rebate?

    I used to work for a science fiction convention company that was sending their credit card orders from webguy to treasurer that way. Idiots.

    Watching a president tank:( (bush)

    Did you read (the PDF) showing how those numbers were generated? Bias, what bias? :rolleyes:

    That's not going to help you make friends here. :( In fact, Iceberg will be the first one to pound on you for any hack attempts.

    Nagin - Katrinia Was God's Wrath On America

    Pretty similar to what has happened, although RR probably would've used a bigger hammer.

    Nagin - Katrinia Was God's Wrath On America

    True - but in this case, I'm going to blame the corrupt politicans in N.O. and LA in general - both before and during the hurricane. :cool: And as someone rather familiar with what FEMA is SUPPOSED to do, they reacted as well as any federal bureaucracy can be expected to - not well. And...

    A form letter from the big G.W.

    Now you know how some people with a moral compass felt about the Clinton years. :cool: That being said, if I saw somone spitting on Slick Willie's picture or some similar display of hatred, I would beat them into the ground, and deport the dirt. :mad: What goes around comes around. Get it yet?

    Experience of Buying a Dell (or a new Computer)

    Hey - just relaying my extensive* computer experience. I didn't mention that I saw a lot of Dell home systems in my shop, too - along with any other brand you'd care to mention. * Extensive: 35 years. Beta-tester of the 8086. Scratch-built my first PC in 1979 (yeah - before IBM).

    Experience of Buying a Dell (or a new Computer)

    My 2 cents. I used to run th computer shop for an HP dealer. Bottom line: HP and Compaq are TOTAL JUNK. Period. Dell [n]business[/u] systems are pretty good, and have good service. Two of my biggest clients use them exclusively, and we never have a problem. I'm NOT fond of Dell home systems...

    how to tell rg6 from rg6 quad shield

    Some standard ends will work on some QS cable, but it's definitely YMMV. I always keep a few QS connectors in my bag just in case.

    Correct. I feel the same way about the flag.

    Shame you don't understand how those two things hook into the system. ;) Provider is not relevant when the hook is disabled.
