why you sending me disc when my queue is and has been empty since last friday? response i received f

Dear ,
Thank you for contacting Blockbuster Movie Pass.
I understand that you are checking on the reason why titles are still being mailed even if your queue is empty.

If a title has already been selected for allocation prior to it being deleted, there is a possibility that it will be shipped. Our allocation is done automatically and once that process begins, the title cannot be removed from your queue. If this is the case, when you receive this shipment, you have the option of exchanging it at your local Blockbuster store for a free/discounted rental or returning it through the mail.

If you do not want to receive any movies for the meantime, we recommend that you place your account on Voluntary Suspension.

You may suspend your membership temporarily via "My Account." You'll find the "hold" link in the Subscription plan area on the left side of the page.

We offer hold times of either one, two, or three months. In some cases, you may not have a choice as to the duration of the hold. You won't be billed again until the scheduled day your subscription is to be reactivated. This date will be displayed in "My Account".

For your convenience, we give you the option to reactivate your membership early. If you choose to reactivate early, in some cases your bill date may change to the date of reactivation.

You also have the option to get in touch with us if you are not being able to do it online. Our Customer Care number is 1-866-692-2789. We are available from 8AM to 12AM CST.

Please let me know if there is anything else I may assist you with.

We do monitor all the threads here but DIRT cannot control issues regarding discs shipped from Blockbuster. You will need to contact them directly. There are issues that we can intervene with to try and resolve for customers but we have no information about how Blockbuster determines what discs to send beyond the queue options on you account.

I have a similar story. I emptied my queue last week knowing I will cancel BBMP. Yesterday, I received acknowledgment that they received the movie that I had sent back & promptly canceled BBMP through dishnetwork.com. Today I received an email saying that a title was being sent to me.

Will this be the last movie/game I'll get or will they send me another when I send this back?

How long do I have before they charge me for it as an unreturned item, if they even do that?

There is a delay in the time when you cancel the BBMP with DISH Network until Blockbuster gets the notification and cancels your account in their system.

This should be the last disc you receive but the best way to tell is to log into the BBMP website and if your queue is gone, then you have been successfully disconnected.

The disc will need to be returned within 30 days of cancellation or your DISH Network account will be charged the value of the disc with a refund issued if the disc is returned.

If it wasn't for what I want, I wouldn't need any of this.

Do I need a collection of handheld radios, scanners and speed enforcement countermeasures? Nope, but I want them. Very little, if any of the software used to interface with these devices is available on Linux.

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.

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.

What is so fantabulous about the Windows UI? By many accounts, it has been going downhill since Windows 7.

There are Linux desktops that offer Windows or Mac UIs, yet you don't hear much chatter about them outside of questions about when the creators might get sued.

Because it's what I prefer. I know I've said this a few times, I use Open Shell to give me the cascading start menu a la WIN 95 and NT4.0. The only reason I went from Windows Vista to 7 back in the day was because of Classic Shell. I cannot stand anything other than the OG start menu from 30+ years ago. I'm using ExplorerPatcher to give me Windows 10 UI elements of the taskbar and right click context menus.

If you could take a look at how I set up Windows 95, you'd find many similarities to how I use 11.

I could probably use that as a starting point, but I don't like the full size icons. If you have to click on each folder that's also a no-go for me, it has to be cascading.

I used to have Peppermint Linux in a VM, that was about as close as I could get to recreating a Windows NT4.0 style of menu structure, but I could never get it to scale properly in VMWare on a 4K display and eventually gave up.

Whatever the boot up time it's fine with me. The longest part of my bootup is the HP SureStart BIOS integrity check. Once that is done, it's only a few more seconds. I haven't done this reg tweak yet since the reformat, but I switched the bootup animation to the Windows 10 style spinning circle of dots, and it's two and a half rotations. I can live with that.

I hope you don't believe that makes it wonderful (especially when you're using workarounds for Microsoft's malfeasance).

I use LibreOffice as opposed to Microsoft office (even in Windows) because it's UI is like the Office of old, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is (in a manner of speaking). The ribbon was one of the worst ideas to come out Redmond.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....
