    interesting

    but I'd be willing to be in areas that have Fios, they probably won't do this, just like they weren't going to implement caps in areas that had Fios.

  • On the post: Music Licensing Rights Hindering Hulu As Well

    Re:

    the only problem with wishing Hulu would loosen its purse strings is then their overhead costs are more and they'd be more likely to start charging for their service, which will driver people away to other services.

    The whole music licensing thing in TV shows has always pissed me off. Especially when you get an old show you liked on DVD only to realize that the *THEME* song is different! How the crap can you not allow the show's damn theme song to be included on the DVD. The first example that comes to my head is the show Tour of Duty, which was one of my favorites when it was on the air. The theme song was "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones and it was a perfect song for the show. It's not the theme song on the DVD, which kinda ruins the nostalgia.

    Microsoft Communicator anyone?

    I'm sure they use Microsoft equipped machines, so why not just install and used Microsoft Communicator? It's for internal only IM'ing and it can be captured and saved to a server. At my previous job we used Communicator exclusively for internal communicating between agents. Actually worked quite well and was secure enough for the network the Navy and Marine Corps use.

    Re: Re: Speaking of bad promotion ideas...

    I was thinking the same thing. At first I was trying to figure out what Harvey's was and then I realized I think he meant Hardee's, which is the same thing as Carl's Jr. Hardee's is primarily midwest I think, but it's the same company and same food as Carl's Jr.

    I think those should be reversed....626 GB downloaded and 94.5 uploaded.... if not, wtf are you doing that you are uploading 6.6x more than you are downloading?

    Microsoft Office Paperclip: I looks like you are trying to sue someone. Would you like help in finding previous lawsuits you've prepared so you can cut and paste to save some time?

    hopefully the trial fails miserably

    I love my RoadRunner Turbo 15mbps connection, but if TWC tries this crap in San Diego, I'm dropping them like 3rd period French and switching to AT&T....it'll be a bit slower, but at least a dedicated line.
