Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 14, 2007 6:00pm PDTSo always the whore for more bandwidth I've signed up for AT&T U-Verse service and the install is tomorrow. It's pretty much a FIOS competitor but not quite as much bandwidth. There doesn't seem to be much info at all out there on this so I figure I'll do my little part and let you guys know how it is. Some comparisons on latency, actual bandwidth, etc. Oh the install is supposed to take 5-8 hrs (!) Have some:
- iPhone bonanza coming
- MPG ratings to change to more accurate
- Galaxy collision
- New Flash video tool is hot
- Bush just noticed the environment

Alright I will keep this short cause the game owns and I asked this question without any chatter in a lengthy post in first post.
Where are the servers hiding?
Seriously, there are 2 populated at the most - are there some good private servers that are not listed or do I just have to wait for more support.

Has anyone here been to the Dominican Republic and willing to offer some travel suggestions? I would be flying into Santo Domingo for 4-5 days but am open to travel anywhere along the southern coast. I hear the North coast is beautiful as well but I don't think I want to spend the time to bus it over the mountains. Would it be wrong of me to stay in Santo Domingo the whole time? I have heard good things about Bavaro as well.

I recently bought the Stephen King Dark Tower box set. To my disappointment, it was more of a mini-box set as it only contained the first four books of the series. I'm almost done the fourth book and wondering if it's worth picking up the rest of the series? I guess I'd have to buy them individually now, which kind of ruins the whole "Having a Box Set" kind of thing I'd planned on originally.
While I'm at it, any other good book suggestions? I'm currently reading A Confederacy of Dunces for about the third time (it's still great).

WTF. Here's two articles talking about the cards:
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTM0MSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==
“A day late and a dollar short.†Cliché but accurate. The Radeon HD 2900 XT is late to the party and unfortunately is bringing with it performance that cannot compete. The GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB is $50 cheaper, performs better, and draws a lot less power than the 2900 XT.
Second article:
http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/05/14/r600_finally_dx10_hardware_from_ati/index.html
For starters, R600 drew less overall system power than GeForce 8800GTX in the game tests.
[...]
As the image above denotes, the HD 2900XT will be available as of today for under $400. This places it to directly compete with GeForce 8800GTS 640 MB graphics cards.
[...]
Benchmarks:
http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/05/14/r600_finally_dx10_hardware_from_ati/page20.html#3dmark05__xp_pro
So it seems like we have two different articles drawing two opposite conclusions from the same cards. Am I missing something here?

I'm getting a pretty big check in the next day or so for my totaled bike from the other driver's insurance company. I was hoping to go pick up my replacement the same day, would my bank cash it for me? I've never dealt with a check this big and am not sure how it works. I'd rather not have to wait for it to clear or something.
