thait should be it
What exactly does that mean?
Tell your wife to split wood and then go to the bar.
yup, “emergency test........” aka State Censorship coming to a channel near you
The coincidence with C-span’s broadcast and the amber alert was pure luck. However, if I were a conspiracy theory guy, seeing my cable box stuck on Channel 24 with the congressman in a hot lather over “You lie,” I would be worried. What I hope many who experienced this bilge from Congress is what I did: I turned off the TV.
This was actually considered with over-the-air television during the Cold War - TV’s that would turn themselves on in the event of an emergency.
LOL. My wife was also very irate. She was frantically slapping the remote and shutting off power. When I informed her that the error code EO5 was on the box and that it was a function of the amber alert, she shut off the TV. No one in their right mind would watch that idiot sanctimonious DemonRAT congressman ranting about the breach of decorum by Joe Wilson.
I believe you are right but now it’s Obeyme 24/7
You are a very brave man and your fellow Freepers are proud of you..
Looks like we married the same woman.
I was incensed about the fact that they, comcast, abused the EAS ... they should not be able to use the EAS in this way and should get fined for doing so --- anyone know who to write to for this ... this is just dems at work. The country will only get more corrupt as they get more power ... ACORN will run the country.
Oh, there wasn’t a comcast test here ... there was an EAS message about an abduction, an amber alert for a 9 month old baby and it’s father ... that story is on King 5 website ... I thought for a minute maybe even that was faked .... http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_091509WAB-amber-alert-harmony-veielle-TP.183541c8a.html ... but usually the system goes to CSPAN then back to the channel I was watching ... but again yesterday it was 15 minutes of CSPAN following the AMBER alert.
not the point ... the point is they abused the system for their political views ...
yes ,,, I am know what the EAS does .... but it has never froze on CSPAN at the start of a political circus ... and then locked there for 15 minutes .... this was ABUSE of the EAS system by comcast.
we know obama does ... he didn’t listen to Rev. Wright for over 20 year ... listen to the recruited Van Jones, green jobs, redistribute the wealth czar ... they, socialist/Marxist/communists are going to use energy and health care to transfer wealth from rich industries to themselves and their power base ... Jones had stated in one of his videos that his green jobs czar position was really a “community organizer” on a federal level” ... these power grabs need to stop ... it is corruption and a bloodless coup ... I think it started with TARP ... wake up America ... you really don’t want this sh** ... thugs like ACORN will be running the country ... and Cass Sustien will put sterilization hormones in the water (that guy is a real kook ... check him out in his own words ... lots of info out there) .... geez ... who are the other czars and power players we don’t hear about.
It’s just someone who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. ISP’s implement a system called traffic shaping, and it limits the largest abusers on a network’s load during peak usage hours. However the node has to have a congestion problem first, and most typically do not.
