Couldn't let it go for 7 more days to have a year between posts TM? 

Nope.  All times are good times for Pi!

MY pi in its Lego case has been reliably serving up music and videos since i originally posted

I gave up on 1080p stuff, but normal rez DVD and music works great.  Trying now to get it working with my 3-tuner HomerunHD prime.

Heh, I had a friend who actually used to buy his medication through silk road. Over the counter it would cost him ~900$ for a refill. Through users on silkroad it only cost him 40$.

He had it tested to though to make sure it was the correct stuff before ever taking any of it (We have a friend who is bio-chemist).

Most medicine is sold in the USA at amazing rip off prices compared to the rest of the world (a min of 50-80%+ higher prices).

Yes true statement. I purchase alot of maintenance medicine in central america for an 1/8 of the price I purchase it here in the US. That is nuts and it has the same ingrediants maybe not the same strict measurement we have here but as long as it is close

BTW, I've had a few encounters with cases for these Raspberry Pi thingies.  The best one I found so far is this:

Thought I'd pop my head in...

Finally saying F@#& YOU to Comcast (still forced to get my internet through them though) and using my dad's old 13-ft antenna in the attic with a HDHomerun Dual (haven't gotten it yet, but soon!) on the network with my Zyxel NSA320 NAS, plus a Vizio Co-Star on my nice TV and my RPi on the bedroom TV. Can't wait for it to all be running smoothly! And to be saving $70 a month!

I'm almost headed in that same direction with ya.  When I first got all my cable stuff from Cox, I was paying around $110/month for HBO/Skinimax/Showtime full cable and the internets.  That was around 2000 for that price.  Now the same thing is $240/month, so I pulled the plug on all the extra cable crap, slowed my interwebz down to 5Mbps all for $140/month.  I'm just about done with cable as it is, and can probably live on the Roku + Playon with just internet access.  I'm totally tired of the cable shafting.

Well I'm paying $73.95 (+tax) a month for my internet now, BUT that's for Blast from Comcast that recently got its speed doubled from 50/5 to 100/10Mbps! And I'm actually GETTING those speeds too, which is nice! I was paying $63.95 a month for only 25/5 (but getting around 28/3) and I figured with all the streaming I'd be doing now, it was worth the $10 extra for 4 times the speed. I'll have my Vizio Co-Star tomorrow and the HDHomerun Dual on Thursday so I'll report back this weekend!

TM, I feel ya. This is my story EXACTLY except I haven't turned things off yet. I'm ready to ditch cable altogether with the exception of Internet and go exclusively with Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Torrents with auto-downloads configured with RSS feeds (no more need for the . My last bill was $255 for one month (plus I pay for Prime and Netflix anyhow). This has got to end now! I figure I should be able to put $2000/yr back in my pocket, and I'll even build a nice HTPC for the media center with the first 2-3 months savings!

Now, if I could actually implement instead of just talking about it...

Just think about what's going to happen once Time/Warner merges with Comcast.  I pay pretty much the same price I did for my cellphone access from 1997.  I'm not getting much value-added from cable, so what's up with this government accepted cartel?

Fun fact... 4G is wireless 56k.
