I am not sure what Dish Network calls it, but there is a pro plan that is 1 step higher and it is only $10 more a month. 1.5 down/ 256 up. The limit on that is 17GB with 80% being at 13.6GB, which would get you unfapped.

weird lol. yeah my HP sucked ink down like it was nothing. i eventually ended up tossing it in the garbage and selling the usb cable that went with it   

Lol that is where one of my Lexmarks ended up. I still have one because it is my fax machine. Although when the ink runs out it is probably a goner too. Ah well to each his own I guess lol.

for one cartridge, and for normal use (for me at least) it lasts longer than seperate cartridges in my old HP

In my experience with HP and Lexmark printers I have had the exact opposite results. I can't hardly keep ink in my Lexmark, while the HP will last quite a while.

Disagree, 100% wrong dude. i have a lexmark all in one 2400 series and it costs 20 dollars to fill it up, and the ink cartridge (yes only one) lasts me for like a year (I am still on my stock one that came with it)

$20 for both(color & black) or one? Either way the same size cartridge in a Lexmark cost 2x what it would cost in an HP. Also what they don't tell you is in a Lexmark cartridge they make the walls thicker so you get less ink. That is why they don't print the amount on the box like HP does. That is also why a Lexmark cartridge weighs more than an HP cartridge. Then on Lexmark when you buy a new printer you only get a trial cartridge and in HP you get what they call a starter cartridge. Whats the difference? In Lexmark you are not getting a full thing of ink. In HP you are getting a full thing of ink, it just has a substance mixed in with it to help set the heads.(which I am pretty sure the Lexmark has in it as well)

Exactly why I went laser. And faster for multiple copies. 

Are lasers cheaper as far as replacing ink(toner) goes?(I am talking color laser btw)

Sounds good to me.

i have a lexmark x5470...all in one...

fax scanner printer ...also has slots for camera/memory cards...and a usb port pictbridge

it was right around 100 when i bought it 6 months ago...

and the ink is really reasonable around 20 for black and 20 for color...if i buy from lexmark or best buy...very versatile...i've read bad review on it...but i never had any of those problems...

lexmark x5470

Lexmark.

Their ink prices are rifregindiculous. Cost about $60 to refill a Lexmark where I can refill my HP printer for about $30.

They don't do that. They are there to sell a TV and they will sell any tv they can.

There is how ever a reason as to why the cheaper TV's don't look as good.

When you go in there you see all the TV's and they all have the same thing on them, well they don't have 30 video sources in the back, they just take 1 1080p usually from a HD-DVD or blu-ray disk, and split it out to all the tv's so each tv is only getting a portion of the video that is actually going out so it doesn't look good, You start seeing a bunch of blocks when you get close, it just doesn't look good. Then they put all the tv's on vivid which is not good.

Sony requires that each TV being displayed, has to have its content sources from a blu-ray player and they are not allowed to split the signal to other tv's. Toshiba requires the same but with HD-DVD. the other top brands have thing like this worked out.

No, they all get fed from a HD source, just the cheaper tv's get a split HD signal. there is no SD in there at all.

Either way the cheapo TVs look like a steaming pile of dog poo in BB lol.

I dont got the exact TV, But I got a 42 inch westinghouse and I love it, I like the HDMI and DVI ports for higher quality than RCA cables. The picture is great and we have not had any problems with it, However the sound "as expected" is weak in these tv's and I would recommend getting a surround sound system or a component system if you dont already have one.

Oh, if you do decide to get it, Most of the models have an option in the menu to turn the LED on the front panel off, I like option because the power LED was making me really ticked because its very bright.

Bestbuy tweaks the "cheaper" TV's to look bad so you will want to shell out extra cash for the more expensive brands. I found this out when we were looking for ours in the store, When we got it home all we had to do was adjust the settings and voila, perfect. Another thing, I dont think they have HD signals going to those TV's, Because HD here at my house looks a WHOLE lot better.

Oh if they are like my Best Buy they do not have HD to over half of them. Like you say the cheaper TVs get the SD signal.

I think LG is good. I know the picture looks good. I know they make other companies displays like the Apple Cinema LCD Panel and Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW. Past that though I am clueless on them.

yea, i seen that for the next package the FAP limit is like 12 or 13GB and for the best package its like 17 or 18GB. man this sucks, i wish calling them and aqsking for a reset cuz they never said a word about the limit would work. i mean seriously, the installer never said "look, u guys got a limit and u cant go over it or else...". how secretive is that?! is it alright to play my games like FEAR, Area51, COD2 online?

Those games wont work on Wildblue. The latency is waaay to high.

Yeah one of my buds has a Samsung, a 3251 I think.  Its really nice, but the only thing that sucks is his model can't turn off DNIE or the adjustable backlight.  It makes gaming a pain the ass sometimes.

All the Vizio's ive seen have had a darker picture than others, even after I adjusted it.  The Westinghouses almost always have a bright vivid picture. 42in 1080P with 4 HDMI ports for $1250 is a steal.

You wont be going wrong with the Westinghouse. I have seen them recommended plenty of times. The only reason why I am bothered by the Westinghouses is because their blacks seem a little pale. But if you prefer the Westinghouse I say go for it. Like I say I see both Vizio and Westinghouse recommended all the time. I also see Olevia recommended.

ewww....you said Vizio.....dark screens with and orangy tint.....ewww...

No really, I have an HDTV, but im looking at a cheaper large panel for my new place.  I currently have a 26inch polaroid that is surprisingly good.

Oh I would definately go Samsung if I wanted to spend the money, but I don't.

Now when the LED LCD panels come out, I'll be willing to spend the money.

Eh...The one you saw must not have been calibrated good. All the Vizios Ive seen looked excellent for the price. Actually even an Olevia looks pretty good. The plastic is ugly, but the screen looks good.

A Polaroid. 

I must say after you go Samsung you don't go back. The picture will truly amaze you.

Honestly I am more of a fan of the Vizio TVs. http://www.vizio.com/products/detail.aspx?pid=31 Westinghouse would be my second choice for the budget brands. But Vizio is still my first.

I thought Samsung was.    Westinghouse huh?

He is talking about of the budget brands. I do agree that Samsung is the best of the top of the line brands though. In fact I have a Samsung. 

maybe it's because CPU's usually heat up when they're at 100% usage...

No I am talking the fan will literally fluctuate constantly. Like it never actually stays at a steady speed. It will fluctuate as much as the CPU usage does.

To swimmer this is a desktop not a laptop. But it is hard to explain just how much my fans speed fluctuates. It will literally change speed every second or 2. It never keeps a steady speed. It sounds really odd.

I can watch my CPU usage meter and the fan is perfectly in sink with the fluctuations of the processor usage. Like if there is a split second drop in usage the fan drops with it.

I have noticed from day one that my fan speed is varying constantly. Well today I think I figured out why. It looks like instead of using the temperature to adjust the fan speed, they instead have it adjust by processor usage. For example if it goes up to 100% the fan goes to 100%. Then every time it drops off in usage the fan drops and vise versa. My guess would be they did this to cut the cost of having something to monitor the temperature? I have never heard of them using the CPU usage to determine fan speed though lol.

One thing to remember is don't overlook the small stuff, because that is probably what it is. Do you have it set to obtain IP address automatically?

It is not that you are saying the wrong words or anything. The reason he probably said that is we speak a little different than you do. For example instead of saying "Then where i should go?," we would say "then where should I go." It is just more of a matter of ordering words. Which is very difficult. I take Spanish and I have trouble with the ordering of words all the time. The reason is in Spanish they say things differently. For example instead of saying Spanish class, they say class of Spanish. It still means the same thing, it is just we say it a little differently. Either way though we can still figure out what you are saying.

This is 2K first football game on the Xbox 360 and 2K can't even make sports games as it is!!

Wah?!?!?! 2K makes the best sports games!!! NBA 2K7 is a perfect example. EA on the other hand slaps a new year on the same game and re-releases it.

Just how fast are balls?

How much time and effort was done for that particular check? 

That is the $26 question!!!

You have no idea how much medication i have to take. its amazing....sometimes i just sleep all day other times i'm online not knowing what to do :haha: :haha:

So in a sense you are doped up on legal drugs lol.

:2funny: AHAHAHAHA!!!! You look stoned!!! :2funny: :2funny:.....erm...I mean that must be terrible for you lol. 

c'mon...post it up...how u gonna get all that sympathy if we can't see

Yah...right...sympathy.

Waahoooo....hughes.net rocks...

That is on the safari site.. It is faster starting up.. but as far as loading pages.. not so much.

I agree it does start up faster. But that is about the only thing it does better than FF. It is slower, has an uglier UI, Uses about 2x as much memory, doesn't have a drop down address bar, not as many add-ons, no bottom bar, and I don't like the text.
