    Merriman Has Two Torn Ligaments

    Sadly, I get the feeling this is the beginning of the end for Merriman. My gut says he won't play this year, he'll come back next year and never be the same player. We'll see, but I'm pulling for him. Good luck Shawn, hope you can prove everyone wrong.

    The 2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers Thread

    Then maybe you should STFU and keep your pointless opinions to yourself. Donald is right, that reporter is obviously biased and has a clear Anti-Kobe agenda. Very irresponsible for a journalist. I would expect such a thing from someone like Gee who's opinion no one cares about anyway.

    Honestly, there is little to no difference. The differences between the two modems is mainly just cosmetic. I personally like the Linksys because of personal experience with the product. Also the fact that I have a Linksys router, and the two components work well together. If I had to...

    Wow.. great numbers on your speed! :) I was cabled into my router when I took my test, I'll have to give it a shot wireless, but generally I get a little over half the speed wireless that I do cabled. Glad it worked for you.

    Let's be honest...

    The bottom line is very simple. Like it or not, Kurt can't win the starting job, Matt has to lose it. Last year there seemed to be a large gap in talent between Warner and Leinart. Matt was clearly the worst of the 2 QB's. This year, the gap has closed considerably. We can debate over and over...

    Let's be honest...

    Are you friggin kidding me? He came into the game when our offense was struggling, he struggled as well at first, but I thought he pulled it together nicely. He looked bad if you discount his TD drive to start the 2nd half, but over all he wasn't bad at all. His 2nd drive was cut short on a bad...

    WWE Legends of WrestleMania

    Wait, wrestling is fake? Oh great, next thing you'll tell me is that Santa isn't real. Anyway, graphics on it look good.. very good model detail. They could do a lot better with the crowd though. The screen has a Wrestlemania banner and the crowd looks like they are in a high school gym.

    My 37" LCD HDTV just BROKE!!!

    Well, I'm glad you at least got it replaced. Sucks that it was so much effort and expense though. Hope the new TV works out for ya Don.

    I took the speed test and I use Vista 64. Seemed to work ok, maybe the service was just down when you tried? I personally own the Linksys BEFCMU10 Modem and I am quite happy with it. I got it at Frys Electronics, I think it ran me about $60. I have had it for 3 years and had no issue with it...

    Wow, I never knew that. I guess I have never hit that cap. They must set the limit pretty high because I download A LOT of stuff. :D

    Retaking the NFL from the drunks

    I understand your point, and you're right. Just because people are hanging out doesn't mean they are drinking. I still think 4 hours is more then enough time though. There are sports bars and all kinds of places that people can hang out before and after a game. I'm all for hanging out and...

    Me either. I have never head of Cox having a bandwidth cap. If they have one, it must be ridiculously high, because I have hit 3 Megs a second on downloads. Nidan, who told you Cox had a cap?

    Broadband Speeds

    That would expalin it. I have the premium service, so I probably have it. That number is probably deceptive though. If I understand Powerboost correctly it's a burst to finish up smaller downloads. I don't think I would get that speed for a long sustained download. Powerboost probably skews...

    Speed Test is kinda wierd. I got a much better speed from the Scottsdale server then from the Phoenix one. For some reason, I was pinging twice as high to Phoenix. Anyway, here is mine using Cox.

    Personally, I love Cox Internet. I have had it here at my house for about 3 years now, and in that time I have had one outage that consisted of less then 10 minutes. I remember at one point, their service was terrible, but they have really pulled it together in recent years. I called them once...

    Microsoft Mojave Experiment

    I use Vista 64 Ultimate on my PC and my Laptop, and I dig it. I kept hearing how horrible it was, and how much it eats your RAM, etc. I decided to try it anyway, and I have found most of the reports to be false. The OS doesn't use that much more RAM then XP, and my CPU usage is almost exactly...

    Retaking the NFL from the drunks

    You can't be serious? How does allowing people to get drunk for 7 hours maximize ticket value? You don't even need a ticket to tailgate, you can sit in front of the stadium with or without a ticket. All you need is a parking pass, and even then just one per vehicle. Everyone doesn't need one...

    Microsoft Mojave Experiment

    Yes, that would be UAC (User Access Controls.) Probably the single worst part of Vista, but it's put in for people that don't know any better. As soon as I install Vista, the first thing I do is turn that off. I don't use that, the Windows Firewall, or Windows Defender. There are other programs...

    Microsoft Mojave Experiment

    Well, the changes in Office have nothing to do with Vista. I know exactly what you mean though, Office 2007 has a very anti user friendly feel to it. They also removed the standard tool bar at the top of Internet Explorer which is another reason I don't use that. I just got used to the new...

    Video: The Dockett Report - Exclusive Look at Darnell's Weight Training

    Good to see Q has let it go for now and is working his tail off. I was a little worried that he would dog it this year due to his contract, but seeing him in the weight room hours before the rest of the team is a good sign that's not the case. The best way Q can make is point is by having a pro...

    Microsoft Mojave Experiment

    I totally agree that Microsoft screwed up the Vista Launch badly. The hardware vendors told Microsoft that they did not have enough time to develop drivers and urged Microsoft to delay the launch, but you know Microsoft, they are the "big dog" and no one is going to tell them different. I have...

    ...How far we've come: Nokia 6600 to N95

    Crazy how fast technology moves. I often think about it when I'm sitting here looking at my computer and my TV. Right now, they are considered pretty nice, but in 10 years kids will be shocked that I am old enough to remember such archaic technology.

    Running cable into the garage

    This is the best way to go for sure. If Cox does the install, they will test your levels and make sure the Signal is still strong enough to give you good performance. Even if you don't have this plan, the install of a new jack runs around $20 which in my opinion is worth it. I just had them out...
