I turned to the TV Guide chan last night @ like 10 or 11.. this was on.. the audio feed was there but apparently they didn't reboot something for the video o_O

I finally called them around 3 o'clock today and told them what it was doing..

[Mr1der]

gah can't read...

nice to see you stepped out of the brain killer known as 240 gen though.

[Hijacker]

we all gotta start somewhere

[Jesda]

What OS is this? Anyone know?

[Mr1der]

the TV guide channel...

[I30T]

probably windows 3.1 or something

[Hijacker]

i miss 3.11 sometimes

[dr!ft]

You lucky bastard, I wish I had Jewelry Television! :pface

[elbles]

Jesda: That operating system looks an awful lot like QNX, a realtime POSIX compliant operating system, very UNIX like. Been around a long time, is used for the most mission critical realtime stuff . . . I have a Scientific Atlanta digital cable box that runs it, I think, the last time I messed around with it at all. Wouldn't be at all surprised if that's what it was . . .

cmcast si pissing me off today, my cable has been going in and out.

[240Knightrider]

yeah they have started to piss me off, somedays the internet will be fast then some it will be slow.

[Jesda]

Wow, I havent used QNX in almost 6 years.

[Thee 240sx Owner]

Try brighthouse for a lil bit and see who complains more.. every damn time i exceed 3Mbits they kick me down to 50k and it'll go up again later to 3 and kick me back down.. its pissing me off but i found a way to uncap my modem.. hehe

[MasterMan]

haha thats funny, at mcdonnalds they have a fully digital ordering menu thing, and it had the windows 2k blue screen of death one day when i pulled up.. pritty funny.. also one time at the airport the system that tells u if the flights are ontime and what not were all out, all blue screen of death... lol.. your cable provider is probily using winblows insted of unix or linux (or even better their own system)

[240Knightrider]

if you uncap your modem they will come after you. just a warning.

[MasterMan]

Thee 240sx Owner haha, yeah i used to have road runner, the download speed sucked, and i couldnt even get my modem uncapped.. but now i have sprint wireless, i get 1000KB/s down (yes one meg per second down, but only from fast servers) but only 30KB/s up.. but i dont care about upload, everyone els can suffer, aslong as i get my stuff fast!!

[MasterMan]

if you uncap your modem they will come after you. just a warning.

yep, they will.. buddy of mine uncapped his and started fserving for me back in the day, and within 2 weeks he had his cable co. at his door, took his modem too... accully come to think of it everyone that i know that has uncapped their modem and did alot of transfering was caught within the first month of doing it...

[240Knightrider]

I have heard comcast is quick with finding that out.There was a company in Arizona or somewhere that offered a different monthly payment for how much speed you want. that is something I think comcast should o.

[MasterMan]

i think for the kinda money u pay these basturds for internet access you should beable to transfer as much data as u want, as fast as the line can handle.. i think they should just invest in a better backbone line at the main office, and then let everyone go as fast as they want.. but oh well, some day high speed wireless internet will be everywere and hopefully will be free, i know around here there is free internet all over the place where u can link in.. somtimes not always leagle, but thats people faults for not setting up a scure wireless network

[240Knightrider]

yeah hopfully its free soon also, I have heard places like the mall have free internet access so the stores and have the internet and stuff like that.
