Is spam that can't be deciphered still spam?

It's all Japanese to me.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Korean I should say - doesn't look Japanese to me...

Ok, I would not know enough to distinguish them.

As long as *no one replies*, once the clean up crew arrives it will all be gone, perp is on 7 blats already so a few more should tip it over the edge.

Opened Thread in Spam/Abuse watch for already

if(this.signature != "")
{
    MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
    MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I don't think the reply comment is right - I seem to remember spam posts having been removed even though there were replies. And the replies have been reverted/deleted... I could see that in my rep history... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Anyway: Finally gone! Cool | :cool:

We Protectors can do it - it just takes longer.
We can't delete a whole thread, so we have to delete each reply message individually first, then the message they reply to, and so on.
PITA! Laugh | :laugh:

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Good to know! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

What’s in a name? that which we call spam
By any other name would smell as pungent;

New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site.
I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

Time for me to choose: Xfinity or U-Verse.

I welcome info from anyone with current/recent experience with either.

U-Verse? Sounds like a program to autogenerate poetry or lyrics.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Choosing between those is like choosing whether you want to get kicked in the groin or have a hot poker jabbed up your nose?

I'm currently with XFinity. Not that I really wanted to be. The only reason I chose them (literally the only reason) is because the cable box plug is on the wall next to where I have my router. The U-Verse jack is on a different wall.

Thanks for the input.

Have you been with Xfinity long ?

Did they raise the price on you ?

If so, was it a surprise increase ? Was it a fine-print gotcha ?

They are advertising a bang-up good deal on their website if I don't speak to a human (which puts various questions in my mind; another topic for later) but supposedly they will keep the price for one solid year.

They also advertise that this is a no-commitment offer.

I'm wondering how they can put their modem/cable/whatever box in my place for $20 a month and make a profit.

I would be surprised if they paid less than $75 for it.

That $20 turns into approximately $30 after the modem lease, various taxes and surcharges, etc...

They haven't changed the price on me yet. Been with them for 5 months I believe, and my bill, while larger than the bold text on the web page, hasn't gone up since the first one. After 12 months is over, then it'll go up, I'm certain of it. But, AT&T was the same (I was with them elsewhere). Kept the price steady for the contract, but as soon as it expired, the price increases were pretty regular.

Also, if you do decide on cable, look into buying your own modem. I bought mine on Amazon for $60. The monthly modem lease was going to be $6 per month. So even if I leave after my year is up, buying the modem outright saved me $12.

The idea of my own modem never hit me.

Thanks for the active brain cells.

Keep them active, tell me, what am I looking for ?

I don't own a TV (it's a lifestyle thing; been going on for decades). Do I still want my own modem ?

Not having the first clue, I just looked for "...Internet Modem for comcast xfinity..."

That search returns the words: Motorola Surfboard Docsis

Is that what I want ?

If so, it looks like I'll be laying out about $70 for the modem.

AMAZON [^]

NEWEGG [^]

OFFICE MAX[^]

(And several others)

If you have a better source, keep on using those brain cells for me.

I also only have internet, no TV. This[^] is the modem I got, but don't know if it will be compatible with the internet service you can get in your area.

These will be of use to you:
- The XFinity-approved list of modems and which services they are compatible with[^]
- How-to for installing and activating your purchased modem[^]

Also, forgot to mention: If you do go this route, make sure you get a modem that has docsis 3.0. That's the latest cable modem specification and is capable of the best speeds.

Got an opinion on the combined modem/router ?

Such as THESE[^]

So your choices are Comcast or AT&T... yeah, you're screwed

Never underestimate the creativity of the end-user.

In some ways, yes, you are correct. I just consider it a part of the package deal of living in a small town.

Were you (or are you currently) with either of those two providers ?

They both have good deals, if I can believe what I read on their websites.

They also both have enough fine print and "stipulations" (cough, cough) which which give me cause to pause before I proceed.

The big question from me to you (if you have one of them at this moment) is this...

Did they create any surprise fees or charges beyond their promotional package ?

A first for me so hopefully not too easy (or obscure)

Six feet and listening to you. (6).
