Yep — it may ship guns (ahem, weapons), but it's not a gunship!

Thanks for that link. Google had not been posting anything like that in the Help Forums; people are clamoring for any kind of response from Google.

I hear you. As a kid, I broke each of my legs four years apart.

I'm among many who have been impatiently waiting many weeks for Google to get off their arses and update "Google Toolbar" to support FF5 and now FF6 is imminent. If this keeps up, Google Toolbar will never catch up.

I find it hard to pay $100-300 for the box and then pay $500 (70-500% more) for Lifetime Service on top of the purchase price. Compared to paying Tivo monthly, Lifetime Service breaks even at 25 months. Add whatever CableCard rental costs on top.

For 2000-07, I had DirectTV with a unique "DirecTivo" receiver and LOVED it. I've looked into Tivo boxes every once in a while; while I'm prepared to buy one, I always balk at the monthly service charge. Their service charge alone is pretty-much the same as leasing a DVR from my TV provider, program data included.

Thank you Jodie from one of the millions of people who put their PC's spare CPU power to use by crunching radio telescope data. (I'm in the top 1.4% worldwide for the volume of data I've crunched.)

The PC-AT was second generation. It had the Intel 80286 uP running a 6MHz whereas the first generation had the Intel 8086. "AT" clones typically had a "turbo" button you left on all the time which boosted the speed to 8-12MHz.

That review reads exactly as if it were written by "The Oatmeal".

It was easy to donate with PayPal.

I made a modest donation and included this brief note:

You missed a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) unit. I broke three ribs (one twice) and a shoulder blade three months ago; getting TENS treatments in my PT (Pain & Torture) sessions was fantastic. They can be rented or purchased for home use with a prescription.

People do that with Adobe and their products all the time and it annoys the hell out of me. I'm often reading job ads which will say, "Must know Adobe." Adobe has close to 100 products!.

Yeah, I've been doing SETI@home since it was a standalone application — before BOINC. I'm currently in the top 1.4% of contributors worldwide. If SETI runs out of data or has hardware problems (pretty common because the project is just a few volunteers run the project on mostly donated hardware, I run Rosetta@home…

You can see the current generation of Perceptive Pixel's large RPTV display most any day on Good Morning America.

The Hallmark Channel has had back-to-back "I Love Lucy" episodes since ~5am.

Happy IBD to all from Beervana, aka Portland, Oregon, US of A!
