  1. Well, listening and watching: fuck it's a great movie ... i can't wait for the Swell Season on Satruday :)
  2. WOOOOHOOOOOO!!! http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/psuconcert Tix on sale tomorrow ... $50. Anyone else going??? Thanksgiving Monday for us Canadians ya know!!! I'm really really tempted.
  3. [color:purple]Yup!! Building lotsa jails CREATES jobs dontchaknow? Then later you can sell the jails to some company based outside of Canada and let them reap the profits from the tax bag
  4. WHY would Palin refuse to fund rape kits? Here's your answer. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/17/175430/636/888/601186
  5. HA! Can't take that blanket statement with a straight face. If Stevie gets his majority I can guarantee you there will be huge cuts where I work (the opposition and public are the only things that have stopped him so far). That's the CBC btw.
  6. Thanks for that info. It comes in handy. Makes planning for a setup in the future that much better. So what happened to all those people with the "cottage" setup that I was talking about?? Are they grandfathered and allowed to continue, or did they get some threatening letter from Bell to start paying for 2 accounts? Curious. Get back to your porn now
  7. Thank you Schwa. That was precisely the same thing I wanted to highlight. Perfect!!!
  8. When we got our first sat receiver (Starchoice) that was exactly how they were pluggin' the service. We were at The Cottage Show at a convention centre in Toronto and both booths were set up selling their packages that way (and you could connect both accounts to the phone). So, what was OK with them while they were trying to attract new customers is now "uncool" with them
  9. ^^^^ that's what I was talking about. And the only disadvantage with that setup is that the locations that are not the one on the bill can NOT connect the phoneline to the back of the receiver. This means you can't watch instant pay per view selections. Personally, I haven't found this to be a problem whatsoever. Bokonon I also heard that an HD receiver counts as "2" receivers toward their 10 limit??? Is that true? Great tip on customer service though. I'll have to suggest that to a few people i know with Bell
  10. Genre classifications are so limiting. They also change over time. What they call "New Country" is only that because they sometimes sing with a twang in their voice and they might have a fiddle Just because somebody likes Celine Dion doesn't mean they like Rock and Roll because she sang an ACDC song
  11. You used to be able to get hacked cards to insert into your receiver. However, they have "upgraded" to Nagra2 and Nagra3 cards I believe. These ones are much harder to hack, although i think they have in Europe. It just gets to a point where it becomes more of a pain in the ass to keep up with the hacking shit than just paying a bill
  12. Chance to win tix for this show: http://www.nowtoronto.com/cgi-bin/EH/EventHandler.cgi?Actn=Entry_Form&Fnm=nowpresentsdavidbyrne&User_ID=contests NOW Presents David Byrne! LIVE on Wednesday, October 29 at Massey Hall! www.davidbyrne.com Deadline for entries is Sunday, October 12 at 11pm. One entry per household.
  13. I wonder if that's due to poor installation. We've had Bell Expressvu for years now and rarely have issues at all. We have one of the first generation PVRs that still kicks ass and has had a LOT of use. One good thing about it, is that the receivers are NOT transmitters if you don't hook up the phone line to them. This way, you can share one account with somebody else if you get an extra dish (they aren't hard to point at the satellite either). Cuts your costs dramatically
  14. isn't it? The Who @ Winterland 1976 :)
  15. Time for a Gratefulfest reunion NICE: Tue 11/25/08 Dark Star Orchestra Town Ballroom, Buffalo, NY Address: 681 Main Street Phone: 716-852-3900 Show at 9:00; All Ages http://www.darkstarorchestra.net/NEWSITE/HTML/dso.php?sec=tour&PHPSESSID=b5f93f5abda559069abb0cdf90cc9391
  16. I think I'm going to watch Once tonight. What a great flick. Is it the weekend yet??
  17. I know which debate I'll be watching live ... the other one i'll watch the analysis after, or record it.
