You still don't get it. Its not the cable companies that is the major road block, its the broadcasters. They force the cable (and satellite) companies to bundle these channels together. Again, the old roadblock was analog tv making it too cumbersome to provide a la carte, but going all digital...

People need to understand that the cable companies have two things preventing them from a la carte. The first is old analog technology. With say 60 analog channels it would be impossible to provide a la carte as they would need a filter for each channel. If you wanted say 10 channels of those 60...

No, they don't. More than likely you family was having issues that caused the streaming quality either on the modem side or the home network side. I've had no problems streaming on my service from any site.

Actually, I doubt they will be bought out. Cox Communications is only part of Cox Enterprise. They also hold several radio station and local tv stations, own Manhaim and AutoTrader, and other small entities. And they can not be the victim of a hostile take over as they are a privately held...

First and foremost, I work for a cable company (have it posted in my bio). While I will say I disagree totally with the bait and switch, that tactic has been used by phone, tv, cell, etc for decades. The only companies that don't use that are the utilities which have a solid monopoly in their...

Didn't think they still counted as birthdays after your dead :)

No, will check it out <edit> Ok, Aida confirmed it, CPU is running between 28-29 idle, so 49-50 is my max. Very not bad for a stock AMD HSF! With these temps I won't need to get an aftermarket cooler...

Keep the room around 72-73 F, and yes played both borderlands 2 and minecraft. Max temp was 49c. And I don't know when AMD changed their stock heatsink, but this one instead of the fins being all straight up from the surface, they were horizontal from the center. Maybe AMD wised up and gave out...

From their website it looks like its specific to Intel proc's. The only thing it mentions for AMD is GPU support, not CPU or APU.

Ok, did some more digging and found that HWmonitor does not read the APU properly (dunno if its the APU or this motherboard, hence why I posted in the mobo section). From what I've read I should ignore the package temp and go with TMPIN0 for cpu, TMPIN1 for gpu and TMPIN2 for case temps. Well...

Ok, a very gracious friend gave me a computer upgrade (he felt bad I was running a 5 year old system). Its a MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 mobo and a AMD A6-6400K. Right now my budget is tight and after spending a bit of money I did have on a different case I didn't have the money to buy an aftermarket HSF...

Frog legs anyone? Just a warning, might have a slight chemical taste....

Its just proof that the human mind is extremely fucked up....

Most of the bigger ones, especially since they get into bulk accounts for places like nursing homes that over analog cable as part of their resident package. Trust me, I would love to be done with analog cable, it takes up a HUGE chunk of our spectrum, and most is in the lower frequencies which...

You all are crazy! Cable is the best thing out there!... j/k Had to throw it out since I work for a cable company. And trust me, we know the high rates are driving people off. I, myself, would be happy if a la cart was introduced, as long as it was digital only. With almost 50 channels of...
