I plan to start vegetables and plants in there but will transfer them outside when they're large enough. Vik, I dunno if you've ever had it but homegrown is better than supermarket crap. With the supermarket stuff, they can do anything with the plant (pesticides, petroleum fertilizer, herbicides, GMO) and then anything with the product (coat it in a thin layer of wax and fungicide). It will still look the same but the changes are beneath the peel

Yea, it's a weird thing. I'm not gonna speak for AJ but I've seen that before. I dunno how it works but it's cable tv and internet in one package...

X-Fire should use far less resources than iTunes. But I gotta admit, I also have issues with X-Fire. I believe it's a special case since I use SoftTH and I think X-Fire's in-game chat hook conflicts with SoftTH's DirectX hook and it crashes. Luckily though whenever a game crashes upon startup, I can look at the details and it will usually say X-Fire and then I go "Ah" and disable in-game chat and all is well I just use it for tracking time I've pissed away as well as the 2 or 3 people that aren't available on other chat mediums.

I'm surprised you Americans have heard of the BBC, You don't normally like this that aren't American. They make some very good shows, be it documentaries or dramas and the reason they make such good shows is because they are a non-profit making organization, They don't have to worry about weather something will get good ratings or make any money because that does not matter, There are not even any adverts on the BBC channels here. However there is a huge downside, Us Brits have to pay TV TAX!! If we own a radio or TV receiver we must pay TV tax costing 90 pound a year, and if you don't pay it enforcement officers come round to you house and search it every now and then to make sure you don't have a TV! But we do get good TV... Free from political or economic influence.
What is BBC America like? Do they have adverts(Commercial breaks)? Do they hype up the shows with fast talking American guys with explosions going off behind him ala FOX NEWS! Do they dub over the voice over guy with an American accent, As they do here other way around?

While I find this somewhat insulting, I have to agree. I gave up my TV a while back and while it may not be 100% legal or kosher, I download all the TV shows I want to see. We do have satelite TV here but I don't have it hooked up for myself anymore. Even if I did, I couldn't enjoy a lot of the BBC stuff. I watch what I want without commercials, news and other bullshit. It may not be right but I think it's the best way. If I could, there's shows that I'd love to support somehow. I've never really watched BBC America, I just know that it exists and can't possibly compete with the dozen or so BBC channels you guys got over there.

Jonnym, most of us here are not typical americans. I love the BBC two of my favorite shows of all time are Dr.Who and Top Gear. Its great, I hate american tv networks its all a joke. And no they don't dub over with american voices.

This is true, there's not many average American's on this site. I disagree with all American networks being a joke, I enjoy quite a bit of American programming but again I don't have to deal with advertising and news.

There is no such thing as a "typical American." We are a country made up of a ton of different people and cultures.

This is true as well, but it's also something we American's have to realize about other countries.

I should also say while there were two different studies going on, the guy that performed the first one was actually trying to prove antioxidants are the key to longer life. He was surprised by the results and will keep trying different methods and more experiments to see if his original findings are true.

I finished watching the program and it was interesting that this one guy experimented with yeast and found that by duplicating this one gene so there were two copies, the yeast lived 30% longer. I guess he did more research and came up with a pill that replicates that. He sold his research to Glaxo Smith Kline for I think it was $720 million dollars. There still needs to be more research but in the mean time, he's been taking this pill so if it's epic, we'll find out in a decade or two.

There's going to be an antenna pointing south and one pointing where mine is pointed now. I don't know if what they're setting up can help me but if nothing else, them putting my antenna on the pole means there should be less obstacles in my way for a good line-of-sight to where it's pointing now.

Yea, I wish I knew more about how their end worked. The guy said I could either have my antenna on the pole or have the antenna where it is now and just point it at the pole. I'd like to avoid any un-necessary wireless leaps since that introduces latency and issues.

That's incredible. Maybe I have a biased point of view because I hate my ISP but that was not at all what I was expecting when I started reading.

It was not at all what I expected when I walked out to meet the guy At first I had little issues with First Step (they had to come out and realign the antenna and fix something) but pretty much it's been maintenance free and problem free for years. Surprisingly it even works in a blizzard where I can't see much past 50ft outside let alone 1.5 miles.
