Nice... Maybe I can get me a fake i9!

That is a heck of a scam; buy some 920s, swap out the real part for a fake, return it for a refund. Newegg re-stocks it and sells it again without ever looking.
Well now I don't know.
Is that young lady for real? What about the security forces?

Have you been to an airport lately? What security? They're all trying to keep people out. Once you're in you basically have free reign of the place.
I don't hang around airports overnight. Possibly she was a victim of a weather-related flight cancellation.
I suppose it all depends on the country.

I think Lunar was just shocked because it's certainly not something you would tend to see in a European country. Generally they don't shut their airports down at any time, and there's serious guys with significant weapons walking around undercover waiting for crazy mofos to try evil things. Not to mention the visibly armed patrols.

Yeah, well here in the US we'd rather put all our eggs in one somewhat ineffective basket. :rofl:

Finally got to see Avatar on Saturday; it's been impossible to get tickets for the weekends, and I can't go on weekdays. I felt Cameron has borrowed from a lot of other movies and stories (Matrix, Alien, Potter, Dances w/ Wolves, etc.) but the treatment, artwork, CGI and cinematography were certainly good. Enjoyed it, and my kid has already asked for the DVD when it comes out.

Congrats on Fixture status. Finally.
So a funny thing happened to me today. My $150/month Comcast "Business" service has been crappy for a long time, and after finding that a connection to my neighbor's wireless network resulted in generally faster data transfers, I called and complained.
I thought my service was supposed to be 12M down, 1M up, but I was seeing 2 - 4Mbit down and pathetic ups (which, granted, might have something to do with the modem-melting number of torrents I usually have open).
After sitting through the moron diagnostics, someone I was transferred to made the hilarious comment "Oh, you're not even on our IP range! I'll bet you used to have consumer service!"
Sure enough, he did some kind of remote flash of my modem and my crap is magically a lot faster. And oddly enough, $150/month buys a lot more bandwidth now than it did when I *thought* I signed up. According to speed tests, my modem can deliver 35 - 75Mbit down and 5 - 10Mbit up. I'm not sure it's going to stay that way but right now I am weird combination of very happy and very pissed off.

Will you get credited for all the time when you were paying for service you weren't getting?

Indiana state law caps that sort of thing at six months of credit, and I'm not sure I qualify since service WAS delivered. Also, I'm not sure what "package" I'm in now for future billing purposes. I have nine months of service that I'm obligated to pay for.

I have standard Comcast cable and I get about 12Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up. Does that $150 include your TV as well?

One of my clients is doing the $150/mo Comcast deal. They are getting about 30/10 and I was happy.

Internet only. No bandwidth cap. Static IP. Rights to run servers. Supposedly no traffic shaping. At the time that I signed up, 12Mbit was twice as fast as consumer service.
