Could we get a show of hands from people who demand /expect good service— if they've actually worked in positions like this?

True.

I'm right there with you. I'd love to dump MS for Linux and gaming.

Gee, if they had just picked an AMD CPU for the same price. You could some Mantle goodness going on!

I've always built with AMD, because I don't really want to spend more then $300 for a CPU. I spent that much twice: once on a 1GHz Athlon when they first came out and in 2010 when I bought an 1055T hex-core AMD.

What combos did you use?

Wow! Nice site!

Routers are pretty robust now. You don't even have to spend a lot of money, maybe $60, if you're patient. The only real expensive is how fast you want to stream via wi-fi..

You could have also gone with a router with a built-in media server w/USB connectivity.

That last one is a big one. It's such a freedom to watch an hour long broadcast/regular cable show in 44 minutes or so. Plus you can fast forward as well.

What people? It is certainly not the people who the MPAA and RIAA have actually gotten judgments against...

Copyright infringement is not stealing. Stealing needs theft.

I do this as well.

You hit the nail on the head. I can not reliably get Comcast's On Demand working for me. The few times I have even tried to buy movies, I get negged.

I really like how you explain this issue simply. I get really frustrated when my co-workers say, "Well, if you aren't doing anything wrong..." I say, "That's not the point."

Yeah, remember all the denial with the 'You didn't build that" shit-storm.

They have to build cars like this to show their reach.

I have not tried the litter you mentioned so I can't compare performance to the TidyCats product. The Cat's Pride product we use is here...

Cat's Pride makes a light litter... 14lbs acts as 20lbs. It does work, and is the same price as other name brand clumping litters...

I watched this last night.
