New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[jwardell]

Good for a year. Hopefully by then fios will have made their way past the town approvals and I can switch to that for $35. Make that $40..that just went up. Unless Dish gets Yes network like they told me they might next year...then I might have to reconsider.

[NoNo]

I get YES in HD

FiOS is cool. Been to a couple Verizon sites doing VOD (Video on Demand) configurations. I like the approach Telcos are doing.

How many calzones will it run me for you to let me set up some kind of live HD internet streaming thing?

[NoNo]

Wait, that's a lose/lose for me! I'd have to make a million calzones AND have you set your stuff up in my place. That doesn't seem like a fair deal to me.

All those HD channels, yet you don't have the one I watch the most by far; NESN...

I have that one, too.

Anyone see the article on the front page of the Globe this morning??

Big risks seen in small cars - The Boston Globe

The Mini ranked third.

Of course this is a dummy test, the twice as many fatal crashes headline is very misleading being based on an average lightweight car, not a particular model and assumes that you've had the accident. Avoidance of accidents is not taken into account. The rollover rate is not taken into account.

What do you expect from insurance industry weasels?

[Oldpaint]

This.

[NoNo]

I, for one, wholeheartedly agree with their analysis.

The testing is ok, it bugs me how it was written up. That chart I linked to was not in the body of the article by the testing institute, a fuel economy chart was , but there was no deaths per gallon discussion.
