"BuffyBot" ,'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My cellphone will work for 24 hours if it's fully charged when the power goes out. And I'll probably buy one of those emergency battery thingies.
But then it's only halfway charged when the power goes out and there's a three day power outage and NO ONE is open to sell you a battery powered cell phoen charger cuz you never thought you'd need one!
eta: accidentally posted before I was done!
But I would still like to see some compation in the cable tv /cable modem market
According to the State of Texas, they are sufficiently competitive to remove all state regulation on either. Apparently, the FCC is flirting with doing the same thing. Then we can all look forward to paying our monthly $700 telecablenet bills to SBComcastWarner.
Wasn't there somthing on NPR this morning about them wanting to charge the content providers because their delivery system was so good? The story said something about it being a poor idea since deregulations have killed competion.
Then I spend 3 relaxing days reading by candlelight.
Or I plan to be in Canada again, like I was in '03.
I was actually thinking about 9/11 when cell phones weren't working, or at least, you couldn't get through on them.
For Christmas, I got one of those crank radios for my go-bag (I GOT A GO BAG FOR XMAS. WTF??), and it can be used as a cellphone charger, so I'm not so worried about the actual cell charge.

I missed the story, but it is true that deregulation has killed competition.

Ooooooooooooh. Linky?
There was also bitching because they are asking to charge both ends.
Ooooooooooooh. Linky?
I'll have to check when I get home.
Crimeny. I wander off for a while and in that while otherwise perfectly good Buffistas are going on about how a regular POTS phone are going to get them through a power outage, like 'dem phones don't run 'dem 'lectics, no how.
The cell towers run on electricty, O, my people.
