Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Uh, I got nothing, except I wanted to say, Happy Birthday SA!

Thanks omnis. The coverage in my area looks pretty thick. I'll get with local users next.

Thank you Tom! ::hearts::
I ended up hitting wal-mart, but they had absolutely nothing useful, and then I went to Fred Meyer. I got a component switcher, rca to rca, and svideo to svideo even though I was 90% sure it wasn't going to work.
I hooked up the svideo from the pc to the switcher box and the 3.55mm from from the audio jack to the switcher box; then plugged the rca in the switcher's output and into the front-load composite slots on the tv.
The audio went through fine, so I knew the box worked, but the svideo was blank slate. In one of my many attempts to make it work, I connected the other svideo to rca cable to the switcher box, and miraculously got a flicker of connectivity, but nothing stable. I think I just have to admit that the stupid svideo port is busted beyond my ability to repair.
I bought a vga to rca cable off ebay for three bucks, and I'm going to return the other stuff to Fred Meyer. Stupid computer! Stupid Sunday project!

it might be the video driver. My Dell stopped working all of the sudden and I could no longer hook my laptop up to the tv. I googled this issue once upon a time, and I thought there might be a driver problem.

apparently a lot of iPhone app developers are pissed at us. Like this guy, who complains, "Trying to communicate with Apple is like talking to a brick wall," and says he has started to think he can't really make a business writing apps for iPhone. My response? Tough noogies, you whiny bitch. Go write for the Palm Pre, with their huge installed base. Or go do Android, and you can create a different version of your app for every different piece of hardware that Android runs on. Or hey, go do Windows Mobile. No, seriously. Let us know how that works out for you. As for the rest of you? Back to work, fuckers. Daddy needs to get paid.

If anything, we hate those morons at AT&T more than you do. Do you have any idea how awful it is to be yoked to a pack of bozos like that? Truth is, nobody around here runs their iPhone on AT&T. Most of us are on Verizon -- we're doing a trial before the official announcement, which should come later this year or early next. Oops. Did I just say that out loud? In case you're wondering what it's like on Verizon -- it's spectacular.

bonny, what I've heard is that Verizon has the best coverage for the DC area.

Yes, Verizon has the best coverage (I've had Verizon, Sprint and AT&T), but if you have an iPhone, you can only have AT&T.

Right. Though I don't love Verizon, they are the best game in town...but not for the spanking new iPhone. Still haven't figured out what to do.
