Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Okay, stupid question time. This is sort of technology, I guess.
We're about to sign up for digital cable for the first time. (Woot!) I'm assuming I need a digital receiver for each TV. Is that correct, or is there any way to get away with just one receiver?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's for each TV. With cable, it's generally part of the cable box rather than a separate box in addition.

Apparently with the package I'm looking at, one receiver is included, and an additional one costs $5 a month. Is that reasonable? Irritating? Highway robbery?

Reasonable (with the disclaimer that cable is always highway robbery). I think when we had cable, it was $5 for each receiver, but since we dropped it I don't have a bill handy to doublecheck.

speaking of cable, has anyone used, tried, heard about the AT&T U-verse? It sounds like Verizon FiOS. Video over IP. Instead of streaming ALL channels, like traditional cable, it only streams the channel you are viewing. It also claims you can record upto 4 programs at once (4 standard def programs, or 1 HD + 3 SD). As Time Warner cable is pissing me off, I am loosely considering it. Just looking for 1st hand knowledge.

I picked up this [link] monitor for free from someone on Craigslist who has had it in storage for five years.
Works perfectly. W00t!
Also, it has a little pull-out section on the side of the controls section on bottom that has a second VGA connector so you can hook up a laptop from the front, or a second PC, and toggle between them via a button on the panel.
