You might want to call over there to see if they will reduce the bill. Not sure how they do it at Childrens, but a guy I work with owed a bunch of money to Riverside and based on his income and the number of children they have Riverside reduced the bill a ton. This was all after his insurance had paid its part. They wanted to get what they could from him, because even after discounting it they end up getting more than if they sold the debt to a collections agency.

I live off Bethel and work downtown and have to say there hasn't been one day yet this week that I haven't seen cops with people stopped on 315 on my way to work in the morning and on my way home at night!!! So yeah whatever you do watch it cause they are out there and I'm sure they would love to make your acquaintance

I'm not so sure about that...my 'rents have AT&T UVerse which switches your lines over to VOIP so that it is all tied into your internet connection, but for some reason they had to keep a normal line for the fax machine. I would say call Insight and ask them specifically if it is supported and how it would be setup. The other thing I've heard about getting phone service from the cable company is that call quality can vary greatly based on which modem they give you and how much web browsing / downloading is going on while you are on the phone. The other thing to remember is that if your power goes out, so does your phone unless your modem has a backup battery.

That is not cool! Cheap ass government!

My $0.02...go buy the cheapest of either that you can find that has the inputs you need, the features that you want and that you think looks good. 99% of people will not be able to tell the difference between an LCD and a Plasma once it is out of the box. The picture quality on both will be great and the 720p/1080p debate is pointless as Pratt pointed out, unless you plan to buy a Blue-Ray player anytime soon, or you have an upscaling DVD player that supports 1080p there is no need for it. The pixelation/blur that you see on both LCD and Plasma is mostly a result of the compression used by the broadcaster on the HD signal, so there is nothing that you can do about it other than switch providers. As far as burn-in on Plasma goes, it is nothing at all like it used to be and there are ways to avoid it. I own a 42" Vizio 1080P LCD and have recommended them to quite a few people. If I had it to do all over again I'd still go with the LCD, just my personal preference.

Yup using it right now...better than IE or Firefox, though you can't beat the add-on's for Firefox.

Heard about this from one of the guys I work with... http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/08/blackbird-is-a-custom-browser-for-african-americans-built-on-top-of-mozilla/

If I had to guess I'd say they are doing traffic analysis based off of IP at a real high level. Interesting concept, wonder if anyone is paying them for the information they are mining.

They have built a bunch of islands, their website has a map that shows them all... http://www.nakheel.com/en

To give the video a little scale here is a photo of the island that appears to have been taken from space.
