Since we've been discussing and compiling a string of lists, I figure I'd ask everyone what their most memorable live gameday experience was......
Here's mine:
1. OSU Buckeyes vs. Marshall- 9/11/04. Second game of the '04 season. This was the first OSU Football game that I've attended. The day started with a pre-game pep rally (aka Skull Session) in St. Johns Arena with a memorable speech by Jim Tressel and was followed by the OSU fight song and alma mater played by the Best Damn Band in the Land. The crowd then marched with the band across the street and into the Horseshoe. I knew I was witnessing a piece of history when standing infront of the intimidating historic stadium. As I entered and arrived a my seats, I was enthralled with the sea of scarlet and grey and soon found myself surrounded by 108,000 fans amidst chants of "O-H...I-O". The college gameday experience (especially in Columbus) was everything that I've ever dreamed about and more. All sports fans owes it to themselves to experience this once in his/her lifetime. BTW, the Bucks ended up winning that day 24-21, on a last second 55-yard field goal by Nugent. The place erupted as expected.
2. Indians vs. Yankees- 10/4/07. ALDS Game 2, aka "the Bug game". Fausto Carmona battled Andy Pettitte in an epic pitching dual. The Indians scored to go ahead in the bottom of the 11th and won 2-1.
3. Indians vs. Red Sox- 10/16/07. ALCS Game 4. Paul Byrd and Tim Wakefield pitched a shutout until the 5th when the Tribe exploded for 7 runs. The atmosphere and crowd was electric. The Indians went up 3-1 in the 7 game series. At the time, the city had premature World Series ambitions. We were 1 game away!
I could go on about past Cav's playoff games that were absolutely magical to witness or Brown's games that were super emotional, but I feel the above 3 were the most memorable and noteworthy that I've attended so far in my life......

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

I created this thread on the original Edgecutter Cutting Edge Forums site. It's simply a place for those to review the latest software available for those using Windows 10 and Windows 11. To date it has received 112,559 views. I have been asked by staff to continue this thread here.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
