How much for a cup of ice?

If you worked in my office and answered anything under 50 cents, you would be wrong.

I feel like I just got robbed.

U-Verse

Preliminary assessment of AT&T's U-Verse.

The internet is not better - our DSL could have been this good if somebody had just come out to fix our wiring like the installation guys spent hours doing on Saturday morning.

Yeah, it's a lot of channels, but they're all standard definition. Standard definition looks like ass. We could pay an extra $10 a month for maybe 20 channels of HD. I get almost that much HD with my rabbit ears..

Premium television services have a long way to go before they hit what I was imagining them to be. HD paradise my ass.

On the positive side, the included DVR is pretty sweet. Hopefully 120 hours of SD is sufficient..

Bottom line, though is that we're probably ditching the cable after baseball season again anyway. There is so little on that we even want to watch.

Comic questions from the weekend.

Are the Avengers and Fantastic Four racist(species-ist)? The X-Men and mutants in general get screwed routinely and non-mutant super teams always seem to be otherwise occupied... I bet they're just sitting around in pointy white hats, shooting the shit about how mutants are going to all die.

Why didn't Kal-El's dad Jor-El send his whole family to earth when Krypton was dying? Were they on a tight budget or something?
