Comment Cable is dead! (Score 1) 380

I severed the cord from Cable in 2007. No way I was going to pay over $100 for internet and channels that I did not want. We all know how to get shows via downloads, (torrents, ect). But now the streaming services (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, Youtube) are starting to have their own content. Hell, my wife watches the Soaps she missed online, no bubbles, no troubles. Some of the cable channels get the whole online thing, just look at comedy central. I'm sure people that are connected to the internet would be willing to pay for channels they want to stream (HBO, ESPN, ect).

Comment Oh the Memories (Score 2) 263

Man, the C64...does it bring back the memories. Load "*", 8 I got one when I was 6th grade, and I would spend hours messing around with it. Then in middle school, we started getting them set up on a network. It was really awesome! I also had a modem for it, where I would have to dial a number on the phone, the put the hand set on it to communicate. Nothing like getting on the boards at 16k.

Comment Re:SIP on Gingerbread (Score 1) 208

If you do the google voice/sipgate thing, then you can use a program to do a data call to your sip number, and make a phone call that way (via data). I do this all the time when I don't have a signal (sprint) but WiFi. On 3g, the call quality is good, and people don't notice that I am on a data connection. It does kill my cell phone battery though....but it's a small price to pay for cheap phone calls...

Comment Google Voice (Score 1) 289

You could get a google voice number, and then do the SIPgate/sipsorcery thing with PBX.org. I have my wife set up with that now, and she uses it all the time while she's deployed. She has Fring set up on her ipod touch, and has the sip portion set up with pbx.org setting, the call quality is great. If you're with Verizon, then get an android phone and download sipdroid. Have the setting with google voice to ring your sipgate number, and you'll be all set. http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Ae8glDUXDsh9ZGR2eG43cjRfMzNkOTM4ZjNjeA&hl=en (how to set up google voice with sipgate/sipsorcery)

Comment Welcome to America (Score 1) 329

Google got all the hip going for this phone, and probably thought that only the "super geek" would get it. Now that Ma an Pa Bell are getting this phone, and don't know how to enter in the information for looking onto the cell phone network, or how to send text message, google will find out how "smart" the average american is :)

Comment Why not get rid of the 'net? (Score 1) 203

This is completely insane. Blaming P2P for the leak instead of having control over the documents. I know with the NMCI system, anything that is transferred to a external hard drive is encrypted. If the US Government wants to stop these types of leaks, maybe they should ask Al Gore how to stop his wonderful invention.
