  1. since i go to a lot of new homes being built, I can honestly say the tankless thing must be something builders don't believe in. none of the new homes I've been in lately (last few years) have had one. they've all had the new high efficient tank water heaters. I have one and a high efficient furnace and the most expensive gas and electric bill (together) was only $150 in the dead of winter. and my place is about 1500 sq feet and I keep it at 72 winter and summer.
  2. i think I have a spare laying around you can try or have.
  3. if mercury is so different from the other planets please explain jupiter, saturn, neptune and uranus. all a giant ball of gasses. would that make earth "alien"?
  4. from people I know that have them they don't get the water hot enough so it's basically like no hot water.
  5. how is teathering stealing? I've done it for along time with my cricket phone. all they do is throttle the service back after i hit so many mb a month. these companies just get pissed they're missing out on being able to charge you extra for something. it was something they all overlooked and now they're pissed off about it. cricket seems to just either not care or know throttling it back is more annoying than telling you to buy a higher rate plan. but they never make you quit doing it.
  6. how do you come to a conclusion I'm injecting opinions showing facts/stats of two units? maybe he never seen or heard of the wd player. hows this, here are a few things that makes this player a bad choice, 1. it often freezes up requiring a restart. pretty damn annoying. 2. the remote buttons ink is rubbing off and I cant read some of them anymore. I have programmed my logitech harmony remote to use instead because the wd remote is kind of shitty. but they've been updating it every few months since I've owned it. it's menu and funtions are much better than it was out of the box.
  7. I think the game your cousin plays is the one you are playing. you don't like the fact I proved how limited your loved apple tv is.
  8. cnet says it doesn't. the XS is their best one. maybe they did a firmware upgrade? they dont mention it on their website either. nore does the boxes at the store. Roku 2 XS doesn't currently support DLNA access (streaming media from networked PCs), and USB file support is very limited. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-media-receivers/roku-2-xs/4505-6739_7-34850104.html
  9. tonic just told ya verizon can't do it. you just want that ball and chain iphone so bad you can't give it up.
  10. show me where it says they do. I had one. and no it didn't.
  11. just pointing out the lack of features. picking a good rounded player is confusing when you don't have one to play with and know what you would like and don't need. I've returned quite a few of them myself before i kept the wd player. roku apple tv sony google tv wireless player wd streaming player.
  12. I know it connects to your computer. but you can only play 3 video formats. H.264, Motion jpeg, mpeg-4. so there's that. you can't use a keyboard(wired or wireless), you can't connect an external drive or a thumbdrive. can you browse the computer for these drives attached to your computer? what does the wd player play? AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9, FLV (h.264) audio: apple, •HE-AAC (V1), AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound pass-through wd, MP3, WAV/PCM/LPCM, WMA, AAC, FLAC, MKA, AIF/AIFF, OGG, Dolby Digital, DTS photos: apple, •JPEG, GIF, TIFF wd, JPEG, GIF, TIF/TIFF, BMP, PNG and what does apple offer for online content? 8 sources wd, 30 sources. roku wipes the floor of everyone with online content. the only neg part about a roku it it doesn't connect to your computer. http://www.roku.com/roku-channel-store
  13. I don't like the apple tv. for one it does't have any usb ports. so you can't connect external drives or thumbdrives with movies or files on it. or keyboards. it only plays 3 types of video formats. and wow talk about a lame choice of content. that's terrible. I have a western digital streaming player. it has a bunch more features and video format support. I can use my wireless keyboard with it, use a smartphone for a remote, a external hard drive, a thumbdrive, my computer files (wirelessly) and virtually any video format you might have on your computer etc. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330 the roku players are the best out there but they can't access any external stuff like a computer or harddrive. which to me makes them 50% useless
  14. funny how they consider "unlimited" as limited. lol keep using those pos companies and this is what you get. it's not like you don't over pay for the service anyway. look at what time warner cable was trying in some areas. they were charging by the MB. that didn't work out for them I hear. customers dropped them like hot cakes. and that's exactly what you guys should do. of course you wont though. so don't keep complaining.
  15. have you ever overheard the converstations of people that don't wear a helmet? they almost always justify it by saying it will cause injuries. like snapping your neck etc. I can't help to not roll my eyes at them.
  16. a ramp that a semi can take at 65mph too. rip..
  17. well first of all, I think progressive's policies are every 6 months. might want to look at it closer. that's how my trucks policies are. and you can thank all your riding buddies that turn in every little scratch they find. and the guys out there crashing on a daily basis because they shouldn't be riding a motorcycle to begin with. how old are you? when I hit 30 insurance rates dropped like a sack of bricks.
  18. you do realize you're paying that agent on top of your premium every month. so whatever you're paying the insurance co, the agent has added his/her fees on top of it for your total. I only deal straight with the insurance co when possible for the absolute lowest prices. and I sat for a whole day before getting quotes. progressive flat out stomped the shit out of everyone. 2 trucks $43 a month for both my bike is $100 a year. I'm going to look into insurance through my credit union. they have every insurance I can think of available except health.
  19. ^that's what they call riding? fucking posers if I ever seen any.
  20. me and 3 buddies made the trek there way back in high school (around 93) drove up from cincy all night stayed till around 8pm and barely made it home awake. coffee and nodoz lol
  21. I wouldn't say "bullshit". because when I was a new rider i didn't like being anywhere close to the front. I wanted somewhere in back so I didn't hold up the other guys that could ride faster than me. and I felt pressured to go faster than I wanted to. now, everyone makes me lead. if I'm not leading I'm usually no more than 4 bikes from the front. the one thing I can't stand on group rides, are the guy's that dont know their place in the pack. the guy that is obviously lacking good skills and slows down way too much for corners and all over the road, running wide, crossing the double in lefts etc, always insists on jumping out front when we leave from a rest stop.
  22. yeah but when they ride slow, everyone else HAS to ride slow. plus there's a lot more pressure on the guys up front to keep the pace going. something that's too much for most new riders to cope with. I've seen just as many crashes either way. I'd rather them just stay in back with one of the more experienced guys following at the very end.
  23. jesus that's a nice looking auction house.
  24. I bet he target fixated on that trailer and couldn't react. probably afraid to use his brakes that hard. something I'm sure a lot of new riders struggle with.
