Without an enforcement agency, which is contained in the EPA, the regulations aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

If you don't think the Republicans want to get rid of the EPA so that companies don't have to follow the rules, ... wait, what?! AC? I've been trolled.

We're on our 3rd MX Smarttop in a month. The first 2 kept turning themselves off after a few hours to a day. We have a ton of equipment in that server room, and nothing else has power issues, so it is not our power. It's their quality. The 3rd one seems to be OK, but beware. Several of us were thinking of buying them for home, but I'm not after the quality issues.

(I'm joking of course... it will take some getting use to not thinking of KT behind your posts, though)

Does Kenny know you stole his user name??

Yeah, I think the proximity sensor on his phone is broken. I have a Moto Droid and have never had any unintended selections with my face.

/.'ers you disappoint me.

I cancelled my Directv service a few months ago, too. Looks like a lot of other people have: http://www.tvpredictions.com/tivo082709.htm ... 139,000 last quarter. At $70 a pop, that's almost $10M. I, too, and using Hulu, Netflix and torrents to replace the incredible over-priced services that Directv was offering. I didn't even mention they swapped my broken TiVo box for a really crappy DVR. I replaced the old rig with a Mac Mini running Plex, and I love it (though it isn't quite as nice as the old TiVo experience... a lot more manual steps, for torrents).

I have DOCSIS 2.0. 3.0 is not in my area yet. Will be by the end of the year. I already checked with several people, including the install guy.

I got it recently. Yes, it's more expensive (16 Mbps up and 2.5 Mbps down, 5 static ips is $100/mo), but it's much faster than the advertised speed. I get 6 Mbps up, and I have no trouble seeding my torrents.
