Just got off hold. After complaining about the inconvenience, this fiasco was worth a 20 dollar credit. I shouldn't have to ask for a credit. Why does it have to be so complicated?
-
First post in this thread. I guess nothing bugged me until now. Major issues today with Charter. Here's the situation, I am moving in with my brother who already has an account, so I needed to cancel mine, which was easy. They must do thousands of these a day. But here's the kicker, some of the cable outlets in his new house only the internet worked through the outlet, not the TV. So a tech has to come out and fix them. I set up an appointment for today for them to be here between 1 and 3. It is now quarter after 3 and still they have not been here. So I call up Charter for the 3rd time today to see what the problem was. The idiot representative entered my phone number wrong, so when the tech tried to call me, they didn't get an answer. Now I've been on hold for the past 10 minutes waiting for the representative get a hold of the tech. It would be better if the hold sound was silence or music, but I've heard the same worthless promotions over and over again. Stop trying to sell me something. I don't care about how "great" a new land line phone can be. Edit: It was the third time I had to call them because they can only help the name with person on the account. The first time I was me to cancel the account. The second time I had to play the role of my brother to get a tech out here. Good thing I know the last 4 digits of my brothers SS# and ready to steal his identity at any moment. The third time I called about my appointment.

Guinness/Axford - A dark bear that is as powerful as his fastball. Oh, and his mustache. I can just hear him say "brilliant." http://api.ning.com/files/PqcUpVYUak0ZBouRLAFH*Vv6dcaCcxNh5TG0mFDa1GOtD4knYEglX7KxoI1IBHNnW9144GJosEGCawtoL0HchkonKnYfiO4a/brilliant.jpg

I wish I heard that....sounds like gold. I wonder if he is going to get fake teeth or look something like Ovie for the rest of his career.
-
I didn't realize that Duncan Keith lost 7 teeth in the last game against the Sharks. Video Link. I also agree with Barry Melrose that it would be worse to lose 7 teeth than to break a nose like Steve Nash did. Well I was 0-2 in calling the Stanley Cup teams. I guess I am going to turn into a Hawks fan because Philly fans weren't very friendly to me when I was at Citizens Bank Park. Go Hawks!

Is this official enough for you? Link

Had to rescue this thread before it moved to page 2. Great win by the Habs today. They are a certainly a different team at home. Great offensive pressure and net crashing to score early and often. I wish I could watch the Sharks game tomorrow, but I am going to Minny to check out the new Target Field.
-
After how well Axford pitched today, you can't send him down. I bet Riske will get put on the 60 day DL. I'm hoping for a DFA of Suppan though. Congrats to Braddock.
-
Per MLBTR.. His numbers are terrible this year. Good move by Doug to release him. I didn't like this move at the time, but he saw something that I didn't.
-
After blowing his 5th save of the year today, the Brewers can't afford to throw him out there anymore. Today he didn't even record an out. It is time to try someone else. But who? Via or Coffey are your best options now currently on the roster. I say it's time to try one of them for now and bring Braddock up and work him into the closer's role. At least this way, we can prepare for the future.

And today is why the NHL playoffs are so great. Flyers come back from being down 3-0 and win the series 4-3. The reason I point this out is that today they were also down 3-0 early in game seven and come back to win 4-3. Talk about irony. So we got a #1/#2 clash in the West and a #7/#8 clash in the East. Has there ever been something like this before?
-
Judging strictly off talent, the winner of the Western finals should win it all. But you can't compare talent with the drive to win the Stanley Cup. There is always someone that wants it more. This is what makes these playoffs the best there is. On paper, the Caps and Pens should have absolutely destroyed the Habs. Ovie and company have been an offensive powerhouse all year, but Halak put a stop to them. Crosby and Malkin are two talented players, but Cammalleri and Gionta have been just about as good. Regarding Crosby, I agree with burnie, he is talented, does a great job representing the NHL, and makes it more popular, but I just don't like him. As long as it brings in fans, I'm ok with him though. Go Sharks and all their all ex-badgers. I still see the Sharks over the Habs.
-
And then there was another game 7. Jaroslav Halak and Mike Cammalleri have been absolutely amazing for the Habs. I know it's early, but I'm predicting the Sharks will beat the Habs for the Stanley Cup.

Converting .avi files to play on an IPod...

I've used the free Any Video Converter in the past. This looks like it should work for you. -
Blue Screen Of Death - repair installation?
zurch1818 replied to zurch1818's topic in Off-Topic Forum
She said it was fine when she went to class and when she came back...it was looping. Her best guess is it happened during a Windows update, but I have a tough time believing that. I am near 100 percent certain that she doesn't even have a graphics card. She is just using the onboard one on her mb. If it wasn't clear enough, that blue screen that I took a picture of only came up when the vista cd was in the drive. Otherwise it was something like winlog. I really wish I remembered what it was. Could clearing the CMOS fix this? I'm not sure what that is and really didn't have a whole lot of time this weekend to really get my hands dirty. The main thing was to get the files backed up. -
Blue Screen Of Death - repair installation?
zurch1818 replied to zurch1818's topic in Off-Topic Forum
After looking at her computer, I have come to the conclusion that her computer is extremely messed up. I don't remember what the blue screen error when it tries to boot up normally. I think it might have been something winlog, but I'm not sure. But when you try to boot up in safe mode, it freezes when it lists the files that are starting up. As opposed to what I thought earlier, a vista CD did come with the computer. But when I tried to load that cd upon boot up, it would load some of the windows files before going back into the blue screen of death. Now I did take a screen shot of this. It says something about mismanaging PTEs, something way beyond my expertise. I think it might be a hardware problem now rather than a vista problem. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk3/weshelmsfan/IMG_4109.jpg Now I did put her hard drive in my computer and we did back up all of the files that needed to get backed up. I should have taken my hard drive out to see if it would boot off my computer's hardware, but I didn't. Unless there is some magical quick fix, I am recommending to just format the hard drive and starting over. Does anyone else have any better options? -
I loved how the announcers of the Sharks/Wings game got a kick out of all of the ex Badgers playing. There was a point where Pavelski passed it to Heatley (or the other way around...don't exactly remember) and then Rafalski was the next person to touch the puck. After that, they said Eaves' son plays for the Red Wings too.
-
I'm not a fan of the Red Wings or the Hawks either. But I will also extend that hate to the Pens. It is really hard to root for teams that have won a the SC recently. Also, Sid is no OV when it comes to hitting. I'm surprised more people around here don't follow my favorite team, the Wild. Especially since FSN picked up quite a few of their games this year. I think that my love for this team may have rubbed off from my old Minnesotan roommate though. I'm excited about the two games sevens. Go Coyotes and Caps!
-
And then there was game seven! Awesome win for the Coyotes especially when they are beating the Redwings. It is about time their power play started to work after it hasn't been successful since the first game. Once again the NHL provided a nice alternative to watching the Brewers get shelled. Now the Kings and Canucks face off at 8. Go Kings to force another game 7!

Blue Screen Of Death - repair installation?
zurch1818 replied to zurch1818's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Thanks for the advice all. Next weekend I will try some of these suggestions out. Good point Casey about the partition being affected. My computer is just about identical to hers. Both of them are Gateways and have Vista 64 bit. My copy of the os is working just fine...never had any troubles. Will the recovery disc I burned for my computer work on hers? -
Today's games were much more exciting than watching the Brewers. I find myself rooting for games to be close because I really am not following anyone.

Once again, I am looking to get some computer advice. My brother's girlfriend's computer will go to the blue screen of death each time it starts up. Booting up in safe mode results in the same problem. I'm not sure when it was backed up last either. Because of this, I am kind of hesitant to do anything with it (I have totaled a fair share of computers in my day). Now my first recommendation was to do a system restore, but it is impossible to get to a point where you can run this. To make things worse, the computer was bought at best buy, so it did not come with a cd of vista. So anyways, I was looking online to see what her options were and I found this site. I'm pretty sure her computer has a recovery partition on it, so this should work. I made the cd and I partially tested it out on my computer. After booting from this disc, running a repair installation was an option for me, so this cd looks legitimate, but I just don't 100% trust it. Has anyone had or heard about this cd successfully working? Also, so I don't mess anything up, does doing a "repair installation" just fix the windows directory and keep all other files intact? I pretty sure it does, but I want to be confident. Thanks for the help.

I was reading about this on NSBB. Cst_cubs on Twitter said "Z to pen. No joke. Lou just announced it." Personally, I find it funny that a team that is supposed to be as good as the Cubs will put their "ace" in there. Small samples need to be considered. It is like the Cubs are trying to lose games. I am not the biggest supporter of Macha, but I don't think he would ever do something like this no matter how bad Yo was pitching (which by no means does this apply to this year).
-
Great win for the Sharks. Way to go Pavelski for scoring the game winning goal in OT.

Channel 88 is blank for me. Is anyone else getting it?
