don't get RCN

If you are looking for cable service, and RCN is one of your options, I would strongly suggest you avoid dealing with them.

I terminated my RCN service to go with a better package from Verizon. I received my final bill a week ago, and they are asking me to pay an additional sum for service *after* the time I canceled my contract with them. I called to protest and was told they always bill for ten days after service is canceled.

Since I had specifically canceled when I did because it was the end of their billing cycle, this really annoys me.

and, on the lighter side...

Automatic email response ends up on road sign.

Not ganked from wolfette, but we should do the Internet equivalent of shouting "Jinx!" when both of you say the same thing at the same time...

a reminder not to get too cocky

Electoral Vote's this day in 2004 page had John Kerry beating Bush by a comfortable 37 electoral votes.

OTOH, fewer than 100 of those votes were in states labeled "strong Kerry"; today's tally has 264 EVs, almost enough to win in and of itself, in the "strong Dem" column.
