"A geek is any smart person with an obsessive interest, a nerd is the same but also lacks social grace, and a dweeb is a mega-nerd." Is it okay to be all 3?
"Visa and MasterCard used to have a Small Ticket Rate for low dollar transactions. The old Small Ticket Interchange rate was 1.55% + $0.04, and now because of the new law they are charging 0.05% + $0.21. On a $1.00 transaction the cost goes from about $0.055 to $0.2105."

"Because Visa and MasterCard used to have a Small Ticket Rate that cost 1.55% + $0.04. Now thanks to Durbin they can't use that rate anymore for card issued from the large banks. The new rate is 0.05% + $0.21. On a $1.00 transaction they used to have to pay $0.055, but now they are paying $0.2105."

"Yeah, the Live TV button is grayed out, along with other buttons like replay. After doing a whole heck of a lot of research I think there is a set of buttons that are available and you can learn new ir codes for those, but you cannot teach it new buttons. I tried many different remotes, even emailed back and forth a few times with someone at Monsoon. I sort of gave up on it and went back to my Slingbox Classic. I did plug it in to my basic cable so an out of market friend can watch hockey and football live."

"My largest complaint with the Vulkano Flow is the software for the remote. There is learning for IR, but you just can't set some buttons, like LiveTV on a TiVo remote."
