Comcast is taking away the freedom of not having to worry about how much you download, and you are standing idle while they do it, complaining on internet forums to users who have the same opinion as you is not helping the situation. Those of you who can't get another service provider in your area especially need to shout about this. If Comcast gets away with this then what's next? Having to pay extra for the TCP/UDP ports that allow you to use Xbox live or some other type of serve? Having to pay extra for "heavy usage times" 5:00pm - 9:00pm? Paying extra for the ports needed to listen to internet radio? Paying extra to be allowed to see Macromedia Flash content? Paying extra for not so popular web pages so that Comcast could cache content and make the user pay for non-cached. Paying per website? Companies like Comcast, if given the chance, will nickle and dime you to death. You think that 250GB cap is bad, if nobody stands up and fights more rights will be taken away. People, gather your thoughts, organize a time and date for everyone to send a letter (snail mail) to comcast. Flood their physical mail box with angry letters threatening to cancel service. When you get you bill from Comcast put a note in it about how you feel about the bandwidth cap. Don't just put a note in the one time, put it in every time. Keep reminding Comcast about how you feel about the bandwidth cap. This war will not be without it's casualties. For standing up for your right you will be persecuted, some will be banned for life. If enough people cancel service for this reason Comcast will be forced to do away with the bandwidth cap, they will be forced to upgrade the network to handle the capacity. Stand up for your right to download! Get out that pen and paper and start filling up Comcast's mail box with angry letters. Get people to sign petitions then mail them to Comcast. Stand on Comcast's doorstep with signs and posters letting them know how you feel. Someone please create a web site devoted to boycotting Comcast and set a date for everyone to send a letter threatening to cancel service. On that date everyone sends the letter and if Comcast doesn't comply cancel your service. Show them you will not cower, show them you will stand up and say No! I will not be bullied! Boycott Comcast!
I have a Mac Pro and when I first got it and plugged it in the keyboard didn't work at all. It just kept showing the screen that said to plug in the keyboard. I just happened to have another mac USB keyboard laying around so I connected that one and it worked fine. Yes I did say Mac Pro the dual processor desktop beast of a computer NOT a Macbook. I still haven't sent back the faulty USB keyboard mostly cuz I am lazy. I tested the faulty mac USB keyboard with other computers and on windows machines it will work for about 4 seconds then start flaking out, on my old G4 mac it did the same as the mac pro... nothing.
This SUV is a 2005 or 2006 Chevy Tahoe. I have a 2005. It has a V8 engine. It's a great SUV and the gas mileage is better than expected at 12MPG in town (sitting in traffic most of the time) and 20MPG highway. It's a great car for tall people. I am 6 foot 4 inches tall and find it hard to be comfortable in most cars because of the length of my legs. For me the Tahoe is the most comfortable SUV I could find.
Guess Sony doesn't test their master disk before they start making millions of copies. Guess they don't have quality control ether, you'd think somebody would catch that problem before so many DVDs shipped. This copy protection scheme is ridiculous, it is so secure that it doesn't even play on some DVD players yet people leaving comments say they had no problem ripping it. DRM is defective by design and does not help prevent piracy. In this case it is causing more people to do casual copies in order to play it on their dvd player. Sony is carving their name on 'the wall of companies with bad business practices'. To the executives that made the decision to implement this new DRM scheme: Way to tarnish the once good name of Sony... again.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
