Can a TiVo premier be used without service charge?

That would be fine with me because I have not used it yet (I ordered the tivo, but have not used it yet.. sitting at home in the box waiting for me when I go home). Thanks for the info. I will try it out as soon as I can!

However it is a pain in the ass to get WMC working sometimes, and is a bitch with HDMI handshaking. Been troubleshooting my system for months until I broke down and purchased a TIVO and gave up due to WMC's HDMI issues. If they can get the netflix app upgraded, and their little transcoder box released that they mentioned at CES, I have a feeling TIVO will be a very popular product again.

Sweet thanks! The psn has screwed me over a couple of times on the PS3, and I think one game on the vita but it wasn't a big game, and I had a good connection so I was not bothered. I wanted to make sure because usually the psn says "Demo: 900mb, Unlock full version:30k" or something like that, but the Rayman game is saying 900mb for demo and full, so I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Which by the way, when I first got the vita I could not stand Rayman, I couldn't figure it out. Tried it again today and now I am hooked. As for Uncharted, I played and am a HUGE fan of 1,2, and 3, but I can't get past this stupid demo!

My first tank was a 55 tank (old freshwater) with the stock lights and a Penguin 350 Biowheel HOB(hang on back filter). I made it a FOWLER(Fish Only w/ Live Rock) tank, and did not have a skimmer at first (which should be the first item you buy when you get the $$). That's all I used and in my tank I had about 5 or 6 fish(clowns, longnose hawkfish, lawnmower blenny). Some crabs, snails and other things. I ALWAYS had the most crystal clear water I have ever seen and to this day still cannot achieve anymore. But, to answer your questions, if you use a HOB filter, no bubbles needed. You should have ok oxygen due to the water movement. If you do a canister you may want to get O2 in there somehow, but be careful of bubbles, when they pop it sprays salt and will go everywhere. I had that tank for probably 2 years with no problems before my kids destroyed it one day by dumping a whole can of fish food in it.

Also, just because this needs said again, if possible get a protein skimmer as your first equipment purchase.

I used this when I was working in canada and didn't have data. Works great. Still use it once in a while.

When he was doing all that to the steak I assumed and thought he was joking as I don't think anybody at all in their right mind would even dream about doing that to somebody. And seriously after deep frying and nuking it, I really thought he was just easing his stress of having a busy day as we do joke around with each other to keep morale high. Anywhoo, after watching the grease saturated slab of meat go up in flames on the grill from the fry oil, I couldn't imagine that going on anyone's plate and he would just throw it away. It was about 40 minutes later (I was serving a different section of the rest.) when I remembered about the steak and wanted to see how bad it shriveled up and dried out after 3 forms of cooking and have a little chuckle. After he told me he sent it out I immediately checked the garbage's and see if he was joking and asked the server and she said she did send out a really overdone steak (customer did not complain and still left a tip apparently). When confronted by the manager he admitted it, but claimed the grill and deep fryer would have killed any bacteria and it was justified. I want to say charges were pressed as well but I cannot remember and sure I would have had to write a statement or something if that was true.

Oh yea forgot to mention that I reported that after I found out that he bragged that he actually served it to the customer, and he was immediately canned. (I was busy running around and thought he was just having a little fun with the sent back steak as the rule was if anything was sent back we had to make new, not just cook further or add toppings or take stuff off).

Man, after these two stories I feel like a freaking snitch.

Customer ordered a steak, wanted it well done. It was sent back as it wasn't cooked enough. Cook took the steak, threw it on the floor and rubbed it around, nuked it, then fried it, and threw it on the grill to get fresh grill marks and sent it out.
Edit: oh, one more- A bitch of a coworker did not get along with another co-worker. I have no idea why she hated her. The other girl was a sweet sweet Chinese girl (that I was kinda crushing on a little bit before I met my (now)wife). Anyway, this cunt would make her life a living hell. We worked at a grocery store and we all worked at the head end, where we managed and oversaw the cashiers and all the registers money, and other things like paychecks and lottery tickets. Anyway, we would have to bundle all the cash in money wraps, and then initial and date and time stamp the wrap. She, a few times.. would short the other girl's bundles (not steal, just short so the big balance would be ok) to try to get her fired. When we send the money to the bank, they verify all the bundles are right. The Chinese girl's name was on the bundles of course, and would get disciplined. Since she didn't do it this tore her up emotionally. She left the managers office in tears a few times(we didn't know this until later). The thing I witnessed was I saw this other girl take a paycheck and rip it up. Later that day she comes in to get her paycheck and it was missing. I talked to the manger and told her what I saw, but they didn't really have "proof" So they had to cancel that check and send out to get another one which took about two weeks, meaning the other girl was flat broke for that whole time when already needing money. Fast forward a few months, and sadly Chinese girl passed away in an auto accident. The horrible other girl was spreading rumors around saying that she was drunk and deserved it and it was probably rotting in hell or some shit. I wanted to strangle the bitch. The tipping point however was when the other girl took her SISTERS check who worked there also, but this time forged the girls signature, and kept the money. Thank god that was on video so she was ultimately fired.

Huh, that is interesting. I tried looking at osha's reg. about that but could not find anything, but then again I am suffering from a case of the lazies. But, can almost assure that OSHA will still come in, inspect, and find a violation. For some reason they don't settle for "just an accident". They like to find blame somewhere.

Kind of wondering what he did with the fish. Great deal though!

GIFs Really what the fuck is the obsession with them? "How i feel when" Then link to some shitty GIF. They don't load worth a shit, you cant pause to show someone "wait wait, this is funny, but it has to loop. OK Look... NOW!"

What the fuck, did we crawl back to 2002?

I bet OSHA(If you are in USA) is going to have a field day with that. Did the machine have any guards on it?

Came here to say that. RO/DI systems are real cheap on ebay and you will never have to worry about phosphates and nitrates in your tap water. I recently overcame a HUGE phosphate issue (which then turns to nitrates) and couldn't figure out why it was happening until I checked my tap water perms.

Really dude? First you didn't even bother to read the first comment, then you had to word the question so it appeared disrespectful and ignorant?
