    I have a cable to DSL question.

    I've had DSL for about 4 years and have been very happy w/ it (obviously if I stayed for 4 years). A couple of years ago Comcast was offering free 3 months cable modem, so ordered it to compare. For me, download speeds were almost exactly double, but latency was also a slight bit higher. As...

    When will we get a dedicated satellite dish for XM or Sirius?

    Being a cable guy, I don't know about the affects of weather on sat. TV, but I can say I had about 7 inches of snow on top of my XM antenna on my truck the other day, and no signal problems.

    Possible XM/Sirius Merger

    I can't imagine the FCC or FTC would allow this without some sort of price control guarantee or price cap regulation like they do with many of the cable systems, and I see this as a bad thing for both companies. Even if this could happen let's speculate what would happen to existing radio...

    Life without Stern isn't pretty...

    Whew, $500 mil! I'd hardly call that "free publicity"!:D

    Superbowl Broadcast

    Agreed Fox doesn't have the best picture quality HD football when compared to CBS & ESPN, but they do have the best 5.1 mix of any rest. They really give you the in the stadium feel. Last weeks NFC Championship game you could hear plenty of the Philly fans going nuts.

    SOPRANOS Season 6: Season Finally!!!.. Episode 12: "KAISHA"

    If you're asking about season 6 on HBO, it's still another year away. I don't think a firm date for airing is set, but if I remeber right, Spring '06 was the target.

    Sirius adding commercials

    I agree there HTF Ron, it's not a big deal to have commercials on the talk channels. But I do think it will be a big deal to all of the Stern followers who make the move over to Sirius - invest in new equipment, purchase the subscription, then have to listen to the same 1800-dial-a-mattress...

    Sirius adding commercials

    According to the USA Today Sirius is adding commercials to the talk & sports channels, which is not a big deal in itself, because they are simply replacing their PSAs w/ commercials. I found Mel's quote about Stern's advertisers interesting. I really think his satalite show will be just as...

    SNL 1-15-2005 Topher Grace

    I loved the opening w/Bush & Bush & Cllinton. Darryl Hammond does a great Clinton, and whether or not Will Forte does a good Bush Jr. there were some great lines including: Clinton "...and Monday is MLK day." Bush Jr "Oh" Being a life-long fan of SNL, you can see it always goes in...

    Nice rant Joe.

    Stern may start early (like a year early)

    Definately, your loss. I almost forgot how entertaining current, topical, creative radio can be, until Opie and Anthony came back online last month. I certainly haven't heard anything creative from Howard in years.

    My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss

    I caught the second episode... What a horrible, mean-spirited show this is, and I loved every minute of its absurdity. I don't really believe this is true. Sure the "reality-based" shows are bumping higher quality dramas/comedies from the line up. But haven't game shows always been a part...

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

    I spent a couple of hours on it last night... It is a close re-visit to GTA3/Vice City. As Jim said, it is HUGE. I only did a handfull of missions, as I was trying to learn my way around town. It is a little raunchier w/ the language, but I gotta admit I had a blast "bustin caps in the...

    XM antenna vs. trees

    In my home area (Delaware) I rarely have a problem w/signal. Even under over-passes, I rarely lose signal, and if I do it's only for a second. BUT recently I drove to Atlanta, and I found a different situation. I experienced signal loss around buildings, trees, etc.

    Last Comic Standing 3

    I was too lazy to search it out, but I heard on Opie and Anthony today that Gary Gulman and Jay Mohr had some kind of knock-down drag-out fight. I don't have the details, but apparently, Gulman was piss at Jay Mohr for picking on him... Looks like maybe the comic can't take a joke (allegedly)
