Just ATH was usually sufficient for me..

I think for them to actually stand a chance they'd have to first stop that with the locking out other devices. Next step - make deals with all the people Netflix did somehow and get at least their catalog. (Unlikely) And then get newer stuff or something better. THEN maybe they could compete...

I have a Google TV and it would not let me watch Hulu on it without paying for Hulu plus. Considering they have nowhere near the catalog that Netflix does, I really don't see them as a serious competitor. They might have been able to get me to watch a commercial or two considering their small catalog, but they didn't want that either.

I'm not a scientist, so my comment here is possibly worthless - but.. If they could reprogram them to be fresh stem cells - yes probably.

Maybe they want some of us to use a distributed computing approach to broach the key?

I have it on good sources (IE: I just made this up) that DirectX will be skipping directly to DirectX 13 like how Leisure Suit Larry 4 was skipped.

Hah! That's Larry Niven though.

I think the best management style is like the best government for a country. It's not necessarily about which one is best, it's about which one is best for that particular group of people.

By making disincentives to use DVR and/or Cable/Satellite and use the internet instead.

You know, the Mormon Fundie types that marry 14 year olds and such...

I agree! If we are going to make an effort to reduce racism and prejudice, we should start by not letting it have a place in our government. If the punishment for murder is worse for the hate crime, why not just make it worse for everyone else as well?

Killing a dude because he's gay or is in an interracial relationship is just as bad as killing a dude because he likes the Dallas Cowboys as far as I'm concerned. They are both equally despicable acts, and sexual preference is and I think should be treated the same way as preference for any other thing. It's not important and should not be.

MS has their own faults as well, but yes, credit where it's due.

Other than possibly IE (which has gotten better) I can't think of much to complain about MS doing lately. Possibly because I've been doing Apple development heh... I can think of some things Apple does which piss me off a bit - device limits in iTunes, their provisioning scheme, xCode not being very snappy... but you're right, I can't really say Apple is the old MS...

The base non-student version of their software costs 1299.

I do not want to hear ANY complaints about money from them with that kind of audacity.

Quite possible/probable, but I welcome the cheap shot just because I hate bandwidth caps in general. If Comcast got rid of theirs maybe others would follow suit.

They should invest more in infrastructure instead. If their servers or hardware or whatever is getting so clogged up by this traffic, it's a sign they are doing well and need to upgrade. If all the ISPs follow comcast's lead, our bandwidths are only going to decrease...
