When are the last 8 episodes of Soprano's supposed to air? Gro got rid of HBO when the 1st part of the season ended... does he need to re up?

BOL.....does he need to re up.....

Reg is completely sick of cable and the associated costs right now.  I pay $125 for high speed internet, HD, DVR, and all the pay stations besides StarZ.  They keep raising my rate which I got like 3 years ago for like $95 bucks!

What is everyone else paying?  Is Reg over reacting?

RE: Soprano's - I think the last 8 start in April

RE: Cable - Reg not overreacting.  Comcast just raised their rates with us...Have highspeed, cable & phone..155w/tax...what a joke...I wonder what it really costs them

That doesnt seem too bad if your getting the phone though.  I dont have a home phone and I "borrow" other wireless signals in my area. (one actually belongs to a starbucks I think).  Home phone service is redeculus

JU, just be careful when you "borrow", people may know you are on their system and I remember seeing an article about a person who was caught and fined something like $50,000

Well the only one I can really get is the starbucks one that is through t-mobile.  And the only reason I can pick it up is because my roomate has t-mobile for work and can pick up all their networks through his card for free (its in his package anyway)  Starbucks and t-mobile have some sort of network together.  Every once in a while Ill see stronger signal and Ill jump on it though. 

Its actually very hard to prove someone is willingly stealing a signal and that would be the only way someone would be prosecuted for something like that. (with a good lawyer!)

That's not illegal unless you break into their security code, which for an open non-secure signal, there isn't one.

Right.  And there is no case law on that yet either (in Massachusetts anyway).  Plus its your intent that has to be proven.  I acually had verizon last year and my own dam signal was weaker than others in my area!  Load of crap.

Right now the law is not passed in several states...stating that the security lies in the owners hands.Also in some other state for example ;florida, it is punishable  if using said connection for malicious(naughty) reasons

Yea.  I mean if you knew for a fact that someone was stealing your signal and you are paying for it.  You could probably go to small claims court and get some money from the guy if you had proof.  (probably hard to get if you are just surfing the web).  Plus there are so many people that probably just search for a connection and get one that isnt theirs by mistake.

Lets just hope the LLPP text isnt brought up to prosecute JU in court.

-----------------------

Prosecutor:  "So Mr. Utah.....what exactly is a ........'friendasaours'........?"

JU: "Well its kind of a long story"

Prosecutor:  "Is it true that these.....'monkeystomps' ....have been trojan horsed on computers throughout the boston area?........"

JU: "No, I dont think you understand....."

Prosecutor: "Just answer the question Mr. Utah..."

JU: "What do you want from me????"

Prosecutor: "I want the truth!!!"

JU: "YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!"

TGP had a fellow Bart alumni pass along this gem:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobart_and_William_Smith_Colleges

Take special note of the second paragraph.  TGP thinks the Rev might have contributed to this write up.

TGP, in the history of LLPP I have laughed out loud (literally) probably 3 times.  Thanks for giving me the fourth.  That is fantastic.

JU- If you go to court, please remember to use the 3rd person.

Prosecutor:  "So Mr. Utah.....what exactly is a ........'friendasaours'........?"

JU: "Well its kind of a long story"

Prosecutor:  "Is it true that these.....'monkeystomps' ....have been trojan horsed on computers throughout the boston area?........"

JU: "No, JU doesn't think you understand....."

Prosecutor: "Just answer the question ...who is JU?..."

JU: "What do you want from JU????"

Prosecutor: "I want the truth....why are you speaking in the 3rd person?!!!"

JU: "YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH...JU speaks in the 3rd person because JU wants to.  Now, can JU get a car bomb or what!!!!!!"

+k to reg for bouncing $20's off MR's head.

JT's gets his cable from Knicks owner James Dolan.  This is where Dolan got all his money to run the Knicks and Rangers into the ground.  Until JT moves or Verizon fiber optic TV comes to town, JT has no options.  JT's bill goes like this:

iO Gold Package $87.95    
iO DVR Service $9.95    
iO Digital Box $6.25    
State Regulatory $0.22    
  Fee      
Municipal $0.94    
  Franchise Fee      
FCC User Fee $0.07    

Total Cable Television/iO $105.38    

High Speed Internet    $44.95

Phone   $34.95

Monthly Discount $20.00

Total $165.28  


The only thing that kicks ass is the high speed cable internet access, which has gotten better over time.  When JT got it he was getting 100Mbps.  Two years later, he's clocking over 200Mbps.  The phone and internet qualify as business deductions.

The Rev's new apartment in PHX comes with COX basic cable (70+ channels).

The Rev cannot decide if he will splurge on cable modem or just use the internet at work.
The Rev will decide after a couple weeks to see if he suffers from Bunko Kanazawa withdrawls.
