Ahh but my Sony Blueray player will be fine (theoretically) off my router. That being said, I've been Chromecasting Netflix off my tablet at my girlfriend's place... hmmmm...

It could be that I've already used that option. Just sayin.

Well I would mod you up if I wasn't already posting on this. I can't wait to get home to try this. If I can get one of my various routers working on the Uvile gateway (shouldn't be an issue), this just might work! Thanks!

So Netflix ponies up the money & Comcrap is able to provide no-stutter streaming. It appears to be true. At my girlfriend's place (Comcrap) we couldn't watch Netflix but now it runs fine. At my house (Uverse... Uvile?) we could watch Netflix but now, as in the last two nights, it stutters & is unwatchable. Purely anecdotal but yea, they both suck. Maybe I change providers again... back to Wide Open West!!

I was skimming through some blogs the other day & realized I hadn't actually read any of them. No great loss, they were just blog posts. Another thing I've noticed is my book consumption appears to be lower than it was once. No I did not rtfa but I did carefully read the summary, carefully. It took direct effort to do it. All said & done, I am still reading complete books & now I am planning to make more of on effort to take more time to read.

Rural Electrification Act of 1935 brought electricity to rural U.S. In 1949 we extended the act to allow loans to telephone companies wishing to extend their connections to unconnected rural areas. Why can't we apply the same concept to broadband?

The I-Squared Act of 2013 is not a progressive's bill. It was introduced by Orrin Hatch. Cosponsors are a mix, 14 dems, 11 repugs. Wanna know who is in charge? Follow the money.

How about our connecting our rural areas? We got those areas electricity back under FDR, we can get them broadband now.

Get a job doing support, call center, help desk, whatever, with a company that has tuition reimbursement. Get most of it done at a community college as they are usually easier & better schedule wise for the working adult. Just be sure it has a transfer program to a state college so your degree has a better name on it. This worked well for me.

What the heck would I make if I bought a 3D printer? I do 3D modeling for a living & I really can't think of anything I need. Except maybe an imagination I guess. Any suggestions? Creating 3D models is actually fun, I love to do it. They were selling 3D printers at the Maker fair that came around last year & I was not impressed with what they were making.

It is a nicely written article, long read though. It puts into words, with links, what I've been saying for years.

In warmer climates, they go feral. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... Disclaimer: I love chickens! Specially off my grill in the summertime.

The smell of cannabis is enough to enter, locked door or not. Any reason at all that an imaginative cop come come up with & in they can come in. Evidence? It can always be planted errr... found. All this worry over the 2nd & the 4th has been nullified.

FDR brought electricity to the areas that private industry saw as unprofitable. Rural Electrification Act. The government can & should step in & force competition by laying the needed infrastructure.

The two lane interstate highway system was started way before 1956. Think Route 66. Actually the original "superhighway" system, two lanes in either direction, limited entrance & exits, was conceived & started by FDR. He also insisted they go to places that did not need them (yet). Eisenhower was certainly a champion of the idea & got Congress to restart & FUND the system. Without him it might have been delayed & be different.
