Rememebr that you can get highlights from all the games on your DVR if you have Sunday Ticket (they're automatically recorded and appear Sunday night/Monday morning). In addition, they broadcast all of the games in "short cut" version -- every play from the game in 30 minutes (and they show all the games). You need "Superfan" for this, but DTV has been giving it away for free, so call and ask if they didn't.

Yeah, the NFL Network one is supposed to be good (so says Rich Eisan, from NFL Network, so the source is biased ). You guys in Buffalo still get NFLN or has TW pulled the plug? CW

And then you'll be kicking yourself for not spending the $5 for the DirecTV/DVR service instead of your home grown one... CW

You know, the only IT guy I've worked with who smoked was my former manager (who was formerly the UNIX/Oracle admin until I took over for him). None of the storage, database, or UNIX guys smoked at my last company, or my current one. Weird... I-90 - that link is a classic. I've read it a few times before, but it's always good for a laugh. CW

You guys need DirecTiVos -- the combo box. It shows 709. Of course the REAL game is on 724 -- HD baby! CW

Yeah, but is it in HD...?

When you say something like, "This is how things are. As for the rest of your post, we can both have our own opinions," this clearly states that your first sentance is fact and the rest is opinion. I suppose it's too much to ask for people to understand the english language. My mistake.

That's just it, you DIDN'T say that part was an opinion: CW

If you don't live in the area, you HAVE to have some wings. I love Duff's, others prefer Anchor bar and grill. Frankly, in my experience you can't go wrong with wings no matter where you buy 'em (sans Dominos, Pizza Hut and the ilk).

Gotta love when posters take OPIINIONS and state them as FACT. You have no idea whether he cared or not - purely speculation - and I'd venture to say that you don't go 9-7 as a QB in the NFL without caring. Yeah, that went over really well when Willis said it. Can't have it both ways fokls. I have a sinking feeling that we're going to be in for yet another long year... Making that 9-7 playoff chase season look even sweeter. How many people here honestly think we'll be fighting for a playoff spot in December? Didn't think so. CW

They were nowhere near as bad as BM has been off the field. Apparantly character isn't that important to fans anymore. I didn't watch the VIkes very much last year, but before last year the guy sucked on the field as well. CW

I wouldn't want BM - he's been arrested several times. I thought we wanted character guys in Buffalo?

I put a little down on Buffalo to win outright -- but I don't think that'll happen, just wishful thinking. CW

The point spread for this game keeps going up and up and up. At the start of preseason is was Pats by 7.5 Halfway through preseason, it was Pats by 8.5 Now it's Pats by 10... The over/under is 41. Seems a bit high to me, given our offense, but we'll see. CW

It's my initials. Don't believe the people posting below. CW

Make fun of the toss all you want, but if that had been Jauron, you know everyone would be bitching about it on here. I think it brings up a VERY real concern with the challenge process -- are the coaches supposed to nail the refs with the flag or what? I don't get why the buzzer system is done. The announcers said "technical difficulties." Come on, how hard can it really be? When I go out to eat, I get the little coaster things that vibrate and flash when my table is ready. How is this any different??? CW

He was wrong, but not because of what you said. The uvula is the fleshy thing in the back of your throat that hangs down. One of the few things I remember from my college bio class... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvula CW

Well one thing to keep in mind is that, although they all say that they're 198M, it's actually shared memory so the database is only taking 198M *TOTAL* right now. I don't know what you normally see there, but I wouldn't think that 200M is overly large (of course if you normally see that at 10M, maybe it is...) I think you're correct about losing it's "info over time" if you restart it --I'm pretty sure Oracle does, so I would expect mysql to behave similarly. Let me know if that helps at all, or if you want any more info and I can try to help you out. CW

Jealous that you can't comprehend a complex story?

I hate web episodes... Who wants to watch on that tiny little window?

Sorry CL -- The NFL opened up the Ticket to cable, DirecTV, and Dish, but the cable companies didn't want to pay the big bucks for the Ticket. DirecTV did, and wanted to add the exclusive clause again. It's not like cable wasn't offered a chance to pony up the dough for it. They're just cheap (as evidenced by the TW/NFLN battle...) I still like ya though, even if you work for the enemy

Wow, didn't think anyone else listened to them but me. "Manowar, manowar, living on the road When we're in town, speakers explode!" Ok, some of their stuff is corny, but it's still realy good. I think these bands are better than Manowar: Savatage (anything from "Dead Winter Dead" onward) Dream Theater (everything up to Scenes from a Memory) Queensryche Fates Warning (especially "A Pleasant Shade of Gray")

I'm in no rush to "upgrade" either... Although I might get one for my living room since my old series 1 DirecTiVo is starting to flake out. I could replace the harddrive (probably should...), but I might just get the new R20 since it'll probably record about 250 hours of SD programming.... And would make it easier to upgrade to an HDTV in the living room as well But for now, I prefer getting a couple locals from NYC and the rest from my antenna. Works out pretty slick. CW
