  1. Agreed. But the Hub upgrades could be just as costly as the plant upgrades. The hub site that feeds him is scheduled to go away anyway, and be overbuilt from another hub.
  2. Kroger's by Grange Downtown in the Brewery District.
  3. True, bullets can continue to travel though. Point black FMJ bullet will travel and may never be found. Most people don't pick up spent shell casings.
  4. http://i.gizmodo.com/5458382/8-things-that-suck-about-the-ipad A lot of people at Gizmodo are psyched about the iPad. Not me! My god, am I underwhelmed by it. It has some absolutely backbreaking failures that will make buying one the last thing I would want to do. Updated Big, Ugly Bezel Have you seen the bezel on this thing?! It's huge! I know you don't want to accidentally input a command when your thumb is holding it, but come on. No Multitasking This is a backbreaker. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it possibly not have multitasking? Are you saying I can't listen to Pandora while writing a document? I can't have my Twitter app open at the same time as my browser? I can't have AIM open at the same time as my email? Are you kidding me? This alone guarantees that I will not buy this product. No Cameras No front facing camera is one thing. But no back facing camera either? Why the hell not? I can't imagine what the downside was for including at least one camera. Could this thing not handle video iChat? Touch Keyboard So much for Apple revolutionizing tablet inputs; this is the same big, ugly touchscreen keyboard we've seen on other tablets, and unless you're lying on the couch with your knees propping it up, it'll be awkward to use. No HDMI Out Want to watch those nice HD videos you downloaded from iTunes on your TV? Too damned bad! If you were truly loyal, you'd just buy an AppleTV already. The Name iPad Get ready for Maxi pad jokes, and lots of 'em! No Flash No Flash is annoying but not a dealbreaker on the iPhone and iPod Touch. On something that's supposed to be closer to a netbook or laptop? It will leave huge, gaping holes in websites. I hope you don't care about streaming video! God knows not many casual internet users do. Oh wait, nevermind, they all do. Adapters, Adapters, Adapters So much for those smooth lines. If you want to plug anything into this, such as a digital camera, you need all sorts of ugly adapters. You need an adapter for USB for god's sake. Update: Why stop at 8? Here are more things we are discovering that suck about the iPad. It's Not Widescreen Widescreen movies look lousy on this thing thanks to its 4:3 screen, according to Blam, who checked out some of Star Trek on one. It's like owning a 4:3 TV all over again! Doesn't Support T-Mobile 3G Sure, it's "unlocked." But it won't work on T-Mobile, and it uses microSIMs that literally no one else uses. A Closed App Ecosystem The iPad only runs apps from the App Store. The same App Store that is notorious for banning apps for no real reason, such as Google Voice. Sure, netbooks might not have touchscreens, but you can install whatever software you'd like on them. Want to run a different browser on your iPad? Too bad!
  5. iPad = Offical failure. Only the die hard Apple dick suckers will ever own one of these. Price point is too high, No Cam, No Phone, No OSX (iPhone OS). Seems like a good way to waste 500 bucks or more.
  6. http://www.mauser.org/ Mitchell Mausers - best deals out there. In fact, get it now. They are saying there aren't any more. So order before Jan30th and you will still be able to get it for <300 bucks. AIM has Czech Large Rings for 209 right now
  7. What is the condition of the MacBook? Pictures, would help see if there is any scratches, etc.. on it.
  8. So you really don't need it I agree, though more upload would be nice. Don't worry though, TWC has DOCSIS 3.0 Launch plans for Columbus here soon
  9. I understand that. My experience with WOW has never been spectacular, then again I have never personally had their service at my house, it has always been at other people's homes. The On-Screen Guide seemed weak/poor which threw me off. What is WOW's HD channel lineup like? Also since you work for WOW, do you know which CMTS's WOW is using?
  10. The problem with WOW winning awards, is they have 1/2 the customer base of Insight or TWC. Easier to get a higher percentage, when you have half or less consumer base than your competitor.
  11. U-Verse is one of the worst options around for a complete package. The fact they only provide 25 Mbps of aggregate bandwidth to the house is a fail. If you downloading 15 Mbps on the net, you have 10 Mbps for programming. 1 HD Stream the way they compress is ~6 Mbps or so. So surf the net with a high bandwidth application and then start to get pixelization trying to watch 2 HD channels. Sounds like something I want. While TWC may not be the best, at least I can DVR 2 HD programs on every DVR in my house at the same time. 8 boxes * 2 HD channels = 16 HD programs at once, U-Verse can't even touch that. U-Verse has the best technology out there, with the worst medium for transport (Twisted Pair Copper)
  12. Hope everything goes ok with Mandi Bill. Glad to see they got her in 1 stick though. They did 13 sticks to Chrissy for her surgery to get her IV in. And they did it in the Forearm section where those deep veins lie.
  13. Thanks for clearing that up, sucks that he retired.
  14. Bump this back up... Also anyone know any good Physical Therapists who specialize in Orthopedics/Ortho Surgery?
  15. Yes I am. She had a difference of 9 1/2 inches between her right and left leg. I am in Florida now, because her doctor, moved down here, and we hopefully just went through her last surgery. http://www.limblengtheningdoc.org/index.html Despite the corny URL, he is the foremost expert in the world on Deformity Correction/Lengthening. WE are hear with 2 Families from Poland, 1 from Ukraine, 1 from Spain, 2 from Saudi Arabia, and all over the US. Really interesting stuff, if you actually get into it.
  16. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into them and see what I can find out from them.
  17. Interesting.... My wife has had Limb Lengthening done, and her Ortho doctor says he symptoms aren't from Nerve Damage, etc... from that. She basically will be walking, get real dizzy, and her legs will go numb and she will fall down. This just started about 4 moths ago. If you could track down the person at OSU, that would be great.
  18. Good job Bill. TechColumbus is a good group... Hopefully they can help get your company off the ground some more.
  19. Have you actually used him before?
  20. My wife needs to see a Neurologist...does anyone have any recomendations of a good Neurologist?
  21. What are the Dimensions of that thing?
