The railroads of the worlds show was a train wreck for no better phrase because they used the incorrect host. That geeky architech one of the channels uses for building bigger or what ever is entertaining, in part he's afraid of heights and machines seem to break on him when he's up in the air and he freaks out a bit.
Biggest complaint about all DIY shows is that they show people painting incorrectly. You cut in first then roll. You don't roll 2 feet away from the corners and then cut in. :rolleyes: And I'm amazed that the final paint job is obvious by professionals and not the hacks that couldn't paint a 2'x2' plank. I know the geeky architect guy you're talking about....I kind of liked when he hosted that show about the building of the stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play. He had kind of an unspoiled view of things and seemed truly fascinated on the construction site (especially on the high steel). The channel I have a real problem with is still HGTV (see my earlier post/rant on that one). |

Wow the 787 delay is going to be long one. |

Anyone here have VOIP? We're looking to go DSL or cable modem only and use VOIP with our alarm system. Opinions and advice are needed and welcomed.

Well, CO has done the same. Try taking the escalator down at the 53rd St subway station. The entire way vestibule down is plastered with CO blue. (and that's a long escalator). I'll wander over there. |

VOIP
My alarm installer suggeted that I do not use the cable phone with my alarm, as they do not work well together. (Using FIOS would be fine ).

Same for me. It was, however, quite a while ago.
The day before Thanksgiving I'm flying UA LAX-IAD on a 777. I hope that there isn't an equipment change and that I can earn CO miles while doing it!
