  1. Not to defend this clustereff but in the last two years, the first weeks were unwatchable and after that things smoothed out. Giving it away for free to DIRECTV subscribers week one may be part of that issue each year.
  2. Btw, having slightly better luck pausing it and letting it buffer for a while, then as it catches up, pausing again. It still blows but it does work a touch better that way.
  3. Make sure you call and complain. It was not this bad using the dr online feed in the last two years. Never thought I'd be so annoyed to see three firefighters...that's one of the things I keep cycling to. Listening to the game on radio...struggling with vid and volume down.
  4. Easier but not at all right for anyone but a kid or a Spanish guitar player. Get a steel string guitar and I agree 100% with what everyone is saying. Get a used guitar. If you're freaked out about buying a used one, talk to someone who can check them out for you. For $100 on Cragslist, you'll get an awesome starter guitar with a case and some extra strings. Buying new in that price range is a waste of money. Then if you like it, you move up to the $500-700 range which should keep anyone happy except the most picky player who will go with a Martin (what I have, and am not worthy of) or something similar.
  5. Not encouraged by red zone preview repeatedly timing out today.
  6. No chance it will be any better. That quality is WAY better than it was last year. Once the network starts bogging down, quality will go down.
  7. http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/6947235/plaxico-burress-rips-new-york-giants-reflects-prison-lesson Coughlin's reaction is how I react to some TBD posters. I just see the name and I know what they said. pBills: The unions are not evil. DavinElma: Damn blacks are bringing us down. Dave in Norfolk: How do you spell cat?
  8. I ordered it and once you do, you watch the preview Red Zone channel until the games are on. It is not HD (pretty hard to stream HD unless you have some off-the-hook data connection). It's akin to standard def, maybe a touch better. On my 47" TV, it looked pretty good. I have said in this thread that I will report back after game day on choppiness and cutouts.
  9. Maybe. I have a little money I set aside for speculative trading, and sometimes that money is in metals-related stuff in really short horizon trades. Outside the metals, the speculative stock that slayed me this year was Kodak. Despite it being a dog and having a poison pill built in, I was sure all the patent-hype and its huge patent portfolio would give it a bounce. I was wrong.
  10. His manifestos are fly paper for flies like pBills and me. Didn't you read manifesto XVII.
  11. There is a website I frequent that is all PM traders. It's been a frenzied few months. And the juniors are mostly out of sync with the POG. I have both won big on the juniors recently (GSS) and lost big (HL, silver miner). Mostly though, I'm like Magox, I've left the last few months in some pain.
  12. I have been against term limits for a long time because we hold the term limit in our hands at every vote. I get swayed every election when 90% of Congress gets reelected, despite almost everyone's agreement that they suck. Good luck getting lifelong politicians to vote for that...unless there's a grandfather clause. I'd never vote myself out of my partnership. Why would they vote themselves off the gravy train?
  13. You get "lulz" from claiming to make up posts to keep others from posting? What are you a teenage girl? Phony? Maybe you are a teenage girl fresh from visiting Holden Caulfield. And dumbass, I don't need to pull any card to condescend to you. I've never once pulled a lawyer card on a soul. Just because you think I'm an attorney and find it dazzling or something, let's keep your obsession about it private, shall we? Thanks for dedicating a thread to me Marcia Brady.
  14. Eddie Van Halen is the most spectacularly lovable crazy person to ever make it big. At 2:45, Eddie shows off his Aspergers. The train wreck goes on and on. Thinking Gary Cherone deserved to be in the band was as classic as refusing to accept Michael Anthony back into the band because he is friends with Sammy Hagar. Nirvana blew open a movement with Nevermind. That might be the last really huge rock album. I've bought plenty of great ones since then but you almost couldn't find someone in the 90s who didn't own that.
  15. Imagine how bad you are when you take a Bills castoff. Poor Panthers.
  16. Don't confuse my noticing with my caring or reading it. And no one here believes your story about typing for fun for a second. You love you some you.
  17. If you're looking for plans, your man is already in office.
  18. Set it up tonight. Vid quality is similar to regular def TV, which is better than to go on computer last year. Will report game experience(lag, buffering) on Sunday but the PS3 Internet infrastructure has to be better than DirectTVs was.
  19. Didn't OC once launch a multi-part post explaining that he (OC) knew how to solve all problems in the middle east by following Alexander the Great's plan of conquest? Scheduling meetings between our biggest warriors and tribal leaders comes to mind as an important part of the OC plan.
  20. That was possible last year if you were in a no DirecTV signal place, but is not this year except through PS3.
  21. There is some cheaper way to do this if you have the ticket. Not sure why you'd want to pay to watch a streaming video if you already have it coming to the Dish. Right. At 34 seconds of that video, there's the question. The choices are (paraphrasing) No I can't get DirecTV where I live...download NFL Sunday Ticket now or Yes, I can get DirecTV and will go get Sunday Ticket through DirecTV. Last year when I got the computer-only login, I had to answer a similar question but it was easy because I've had installers out multiple times and each time, they say they can't install it at my house due to a treeline issue, which is OK by me since I have no interest in losing signal in rainstorms.
