Back in the day when we had 6ish TV channels and no internet, cable tv was nice. If only for the fact we could get those 6ish channels with perfect reception. Those other channels offered was a bonus. Although really they mostly sucked. MTV was good for videos but they don't do that anymore. I don't even think ESPN was born yet.

I now pay $100 for a fast internet package. The cable company is annoyingly incessant sending me mail asking me to buy TV package. $300 gift card if I sign up for a 2 year deal. When are they going to realize cable TV sucks and should be dead?

My quailty of life will not suffer one bit if I never hear the name Murdoch again. In fact maybe the opposite. The best journalism I see these days comes from democracynow.org, and english.aljazera.net. I had hopes for wikileaks.org but nothing much has been coming from there lately.

I don't see any connections on the new vista machine. I'm watching the packets go through the router. Read that headline and was about to go uninstall. Glad I checked to confirm first.
