That's OK. Pretty well everything I watch sits in NzbDrone, so even if that did happen, I'd be covered. :)

Those people can watch The Daily Show...

Dish Network already carried The Blaze (channel 212). If they've put The Blaze in for Fox "News", all they did was re-direct it during the dispute.

In *most* cases, they *don't*. They stick to Fox "News", and then read about how horrible MSNBC is via Breitbart, The Blaze, World Net Daily, etc, which only furthers the political divide.

What's the difference?

Wish I had mod points so this could be raised up...

Also, I think that's the first time I've ever uttered those words for an AC comment... lol

I live in a small college town. The college I work for has two 1GB lines going to it (I'm not sure what the other couple colleges have). The town itself is served by AT&T (I can get a whopping 3Mbit at my house!), CableONE (which is what I use - 50/3), and a fixed wireless provider.

It'd be awesome if someone would come in and offer a Google Fiber-like service (and by 'like', I mean 1GB for roughly $70 a month)...

Doh! A few comments down it's pointed out that "going back to yahoo" was a joke... That'll teach me for posting on Mondays... :P

Last I checked, Yahoo! is using Bing for its search results.

That may be, but how much of that is because the young guys don't get the chance to show they *can* be right?

Unless you had a giant booming stereo system installed in that car, your battery should not have died after 45 minutes of the radio being on. You *should* have gone and had your battery / alternator checked, and replaced whichever was defective. :P

In a business environment, maybe. Where I work, we've already converted nearly all of our open lab PC's, and all but two computer classrooms, to ZeroClients (in our case, devices from Wyse). We're now looking at which faculty/staff can be moved to such a setup.

At home? Not a chance. This will require the same network speeds, found in businesses, in our homes, and for those connections to cost the same (or less) than what we're *all* paying now.

I guess the above was a long-winded way to say, the guys you work with are morons if they think this is happening, in the home, in the near future.

Until we all have extremely high-speed internet connections in our homes, the local HDD will not be obsolete. As that isn't happening anytime soon (in the US, at least), I don't think Seagate / WD have anything to worry about.

Better would be to have the system use a cellular data network (with a VPN connection to whatever network it needed to communicate with for transaction data). That way it's isolated from the bar network *and* you don't need anything more than a power plug.

I have a fix for that - don't live in an HOA zone. HOA's *suck*, and the only thing keeping them around are people willing to live under their rule.
