Dan I saw you on HBO!
 
I saw the prius that you guys made 113mpg and I saw you for like 3 seconds. They mostly showed Dave explaining the Prius.

No, the show is called "too hot not to handle" It's like in the middle of the show they discuss hybrids for like a couple of minutes.

Yes, my 15 milliseconds of fame. Actually I avoided the film crew like the plague. I am not interested in being on TV.

The funny thing is that after shooting hours and hours of footage, there was only about 1 minute that actually got into the show. But since Im too cheap to pay for it, I dont get HBO. They promised that they would send us a copy before it ran but I havent seen anything yet.

It was your car afterall. I pay for cable and it's costly, about $20 a month. They also showed a lawyer that had a previous gen civic hybrid. He showed his instrument cluster and it said 87.xmpg

I guess this goes back to the argument of not paying for a service you enjoy.

I've been known to download a few TV shows in my time, mainly because I didn't have cable and the DVDs were not out yet.

If I really enjoyed the show I would buy the DVD just because I wanted the creators to have the money.

DSL for me is pretty good. I always always always get 180K down, my cable friends get between 100-500 depending on the time, but a good 20% of the time is doesn't work or doesn't work properly. Costs more by a lot, just, ****ty.

I had Verizon DSL before I moved and, with some tweaks to Windows, I was getting 2.86 mbps down and in the neighborhood of 350-400K up. Now I'm stuck with sattelite at 1.01 down(on a good day)and 100 or below for up. It's still better than dial-up but it sucks to go backwards.:evil:

It's nice. My absolute best was when I was living on campus and was getting 6000 kbps downloads in my dorm room from some servers.

Ahhhh. Mission accomplished! Um, except for the annoying part. I prefer to be misunderestimated. If that means annoying, then so be it.

Oh to be 17 again... except for not being able to buy spray paint. When is your 18th again?

White carnations (respect), unless your friend is special (love interest). In that case, red roses.
