The Very Exciting GNOME 3.12 Has Been Released

No, better font rendering is not subjective. Besides personal preference (this or that algorithm) there's an objective goal regarding font rendering. Every demo of Gnome shows it's not making that goal. Period. You can explain that by resorting to patent encumbered algorithms (patents that apply mostly to the US and a few other countries only) and that sort of thing. Just saying "it's subjective" is, besides a very poor excuse, beyond silly.Last edited by Aleve Sicofante; 03-27-2014, 03:46 PM.
First he needs to comprehend that font rendering is not dependant on desktop environment.
You don't know what you're talking about. Desktops are backward, years behind display technology. They become barely usable at as low as 130 ppi of the display. And 130 ppi is e.g. 1680x1050 15 inch display. 1080p (1920x1080) at 15 inches is even higher ppi.

Originally posted by molecule-eye View PostWhy did you quote me and then respond with that? It's not even relevant. I said not a lot of linux users are using hidpi monitors and need scaling. Now, I didn't go out and survey linux users, so I was just guessing, but it seems like a pretty sure bet. I would guess that most linux users with hidpi monitors are developers trying to get hidpi support working! At any rate, 'not a lot' is a relative term, and even if--according to you--there were more than 'not a lot' of linux users using hidpi monitors, hidpi support would still not be a game changer for a linux DE. Really, was THAT controversial?!
Because the fact that 130 ppi laptop displays are not uncommon doesn't get through to you.

I might well have to migrate to something else in the future, but for now Xfce does it's job just fine and all of it's dependencies are still available on modern distributions.

Rich kids slum it out in new Indian reality show
By Shilpa Jamkhandikar
MUMBAI (Reuters Life!) - Trading their Blackberries for scrubbing brushes and their mansions for huts, a group of wealthy youth are gluing Indians to their TV screens in a country struggling to bridge the gap between poverty and prosperity.
Sunny Sara, 28, a nightclub owner in Mumbai, was one of the participants in a new and popular reality TV show called "The Big Switch" which involves rich contestants residing in a slum for one month to help slum dwellers.
"There was no running water, no air conditioning, none of the amenities I was used to. I missed my Blackberry and my bikes," Sara said. "It was a life-changing experience."
More than a third of India's population survives on less than one dollar a day, according to a 2007 United Nations report, while the number of dollar millionaires rose almost 23 percent in the same year, the fastest pace in the world.
The show went on air late last month, almost a year after Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire" showed the world what it was like to be poor in Mumbai, where more than half its 18 million residents live in slums or on the streets.
"Most of India's television audience is in the middle class," said Zarina Mehta of UTV Bindass, which airs The Big Switch.
"When you bring in people from the richest strata and put them with the poorest of the poor, it makes for great television," Mehta added.
"Our show is also about hope and the fact that you can work your way out of that poverty." Continued...

Has Congress Fixed the VA for Good?
After six weeks of negotiations, the chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Representative Jeff Miller (R-FL), have finally reached an agreement on how reform the veteran healthcare system.
Their comprehensive reform bill includes $5 billion dollars in emergency spending, and calls for the VA to hire new employees, conduct regular audits on the quality care, and more.
"This bill makes certain that we address the immediate crisis of veterans being forced onto long waiting lines for healthcare," Senator Sanders told reporters on Monday. A key part of the proposal lets veterans bypass the VA system in the case of a backlog and instead seek out treatment from non-VA Medicare-eligible providers.
Anthony Hardie, a Gulf War veteran who serves on the Board of Directors of Veterans for Common Sense, weighs in on the changes.

Help with studded basment bathroom install
1 Attachment(s)
Hello. I was hoping to get some advice and/or help with my basment bathroom install. I was not sure if I should do it myself or pay someone to do the job. I was quoted $1650 for all my water lines ran (sink, tub, toilet), new sump pump with alarm, shower drain centered, and utility sink line ran. If I am advised to do it myself I guess I need to know where to begin. I would assume start with tapping into the water lines but I want to make sure. I have attached a pic to show the layout. Thanks
The first question I think would be "Do you have the skills required to 'tap into the water line'?" If you have copper, do you know how to sweat copper? If you have pex, do you know how to run and crimp pex?
If you do not know what you are doing, you may end up doing more damage than the quote.
Now, to stop sounding like your wife, we all were there (newbs) at one time or another. This site has many experts that can help you along. It looks like you have a DWV mostly roughed in. What do you have for water supply and how far away are they?
Thats not too bad considering they have to jack hammer the floor to move the tub drain to a shower drain. Two guys, two days min, plus parts, new sump pump, truck, tools. No thats not bad at all. IMO.
That quote of $1650 is a great deal !
For that price I would sit on a bucket and drink beer.
I'll bet he has close to $600 in material.
Its all PEX tubing so I figured I can't really mess that up too bad. I figured just some t-connectors and run the lines to where I need them. I am pretty handy but I have never touched plumbing before so I am a little hesitant until I saw that my neighbor did his own work. He said it wasn't that hard since everything is already plumbed.
On the other hand everyone including the people that have responded to this post have said it's a good price and I can avoid any headaches and get it done right the first time.
your commode pipe looks to be to close to wall....12" from wall to center of pipe...ben sr
1. I measured my tubes and the main blue line is 3" with 2" lines split off for the house. Do I split off the main line or can I T-connect into one of the 2" lines running to the sink upstairs?
2. I see the drain for the tub, toilet, and sink. I am assuming the other pipe is my vent since it runs to the other side where the sump pump is supposed to go. Where do I run this line and is it the vent?
3. How are the lines supposed to be ran from the ceiling down the wall? Are there brackets that I use to attach it to the studs? Does anyone have a pic of what it should look like?
4. Can I run the cold water to my sink and toilet from the same line or do I need 2 seperate lines?
Hire the guy for 1650. You really dont know anything from your posts, and you will probably will end up spending a lot of money and having to bring him back anyway for more money to fix what you messed up.
Not trying to insult you, you might be very good at what you do.
At a minimum, go to the library and learn the theory first.
Get a good book on plumbing
This is a DIY site--and there are plenty of people to help---
The folks that suggested you hire out the work are simply looking out for your best interests--
That price is not bad---However--if you do choose to do the plumbing--come and ask---Mike---
I was going to get a book but I looked at some of the plumbing books at Home Depot and Lowes and they really didn't have much information for basement bathroom installs but it did talk about theory alot. The reason I was asking some of the questions is because I looked at my neighbors setup and it was different from some of the things I read in the books. I had no idea how to do drywall and electrical but people walked me through to a good inspection on other forums.
I will take some of your guys advice and pay since it seems like a good deal. Thanks.
199 Attachment(s)
1. I assume you meant 3/4" & 1/2" Connect to the 3/4"
2. I can't totally answer this. Can you show a picture of the sump area? When you're done vent piping the plumbing wall, the tub and lav vents will tie into the high 2" pipe in the picture(follow the hole in the stud)That 2" either goes to the upstairs venting or over to the sump- just a guess.
3. The pex runs across the ceiling, down the studs to their proper stub out location. Pex needs to be supported every 32".There are several fastening systems. These guys make bracket for just about everything- http://www.holdrite.com/ Check the box store for similar products
4. As a general rule- assuming good house pressure you can put the toilet and lav on a 1/2" line
I'm confused by your first post though -- you mention a tub, then mention centering a shower pan. Is this bathroom going to have both a tub AND a shower? Seems a little unusual, yeah I know lots of people have both a tub and a shower in their master bath, but for a basement bath that would surprise me a little.
The drain for a tub is near the framed wall. The drain for a shower would be centered on the pan, which can vary in size.
No book is going to cover every single situation, you have to get the theory.
Tylernt, I totally agree with you about the books. The people at the home improvement stores aren't the greatest of help either. Sorry, I meant just a shower pan, no tub.
Eplumber, thanks for the response. Sorry to everyone else. I probably used improper plumber jargon, didn't put everything into the right words, and just a plain newbie at this.
1. I just took a tape measure and wrapped it around the tube for the size this morning. Instead I should have compared hoses and wrote down the correct sizes from Home Depot before asking on the forum. I will get the correct hose size tonight/weekend. But I do know now it's the bigger hose that I need tying into. Thanks.
2. That 2" pipe in the picture runs to the sump pump area but I am not sure if it also ties to the upstairs vent above me. I will post a pic tonightof the sump pump area and check. If the 2" pipe only runs from the bathroom to the sump pump area, where do I vent it then? I assume I gotta try and tap into the vent from the bathroom above me on the 1st floor. After doing more research at work I have a better understanding of vents. (Gotta love the military in garrison, sham time, LOL.)
3. Thanks, got it.
4. Got it.

The Sophomore Benchmark
Finding Your Major
The faculty of the SEEK Department has developed a list of goals or benchmarks for your sophomore year. They will help you select and succeed in your major field. These benchmarks detail some of the behaviors and skills necessary to succeed at Brooklyn College.
Academic Benchmarks
I will:
- continue to employ Critical Inquiry techniques in my course work and demonstrate how they benefit me,
- review my academic transcript, identify areas of weakness and strength, and develop a plan of action to improve my academic profile,
- establish or join an ongoing study group for at least one of my courses and attend tutoring for at least one course in the SEEK Tutoring Center,
- examine all my syllabi and create a semester calendar of assignments,
- demonstrate improvement in my writing,
- attend a workshop on the CPE in the SEEK Tutoring Center and take the CPE when I am required,
- plan to complete the Brooklyn College Core Curriculumn, including the upper-tier courses, before my senior year, and attach a plan to do so,
- learn to use the course equivalent tool for the new numbers of all my required courses, and
- identify and visit, during office hours, a faculty member in my major.
College Life Benchmarks
I will:
- review the Bulletin requirements and Schedule of Class offering for my major department's two-year cycle of courses and other courses I need,
- plan a tentative two-year sequence of courses and review it with my counselor,
- meet with my counselor to discuss my major or prospective major,
- meet with my departmental major adviser to discuss the requirements for the major,
- declare my major just prior to reaching 60 credits but not earlier than 55 credits,
- understand the financial aid rules about how electives and pursuit of a major apply to maintaining my TAP requirements,
- visit the SEEK Financial Aid Office to ensure that I am in compliance with filing of all financial aid forms and requirements,
- analyze my rates of progress for financial aid purposes and plan for financing my college education, and
- explore study abroad, internships and/or honors programs.
Personal Benchmarks
I will:
- meet with a mentor or role model within or outside of the college,
- engage in readings other than those required for my course work,
- use the cultural resources of New York City in pursuing my education,
- participate in an activity that supports a healthy lifestyle,
- evaluate my need for further education regarding my career plans,
- manage my personal finances,
- maintain a schedule that balances the demands of school, work, family and social life,
- actively participate in a community service activity,
- participate in a campus or outside activity related to my career or major,
- participate in club or ongoing campus activity, and
- review and reflect on my Freshman Benchmarks and note areas of growth.
Assessing Your Progress
Last year, you completed Freshman Benchmarks with the goal of helping you adjust to college life. This year, the Sophomore Benchmarks will focus on declaring and pursuing a major.
You will keep an electronic portfolio of your achievements. You will assess your personal progress in each area: academic, college life and personal growth benchmarks. Your counselors and CUNYCAPs will be available to help you meet your goals and expectations.
On March 24, 2010, you will hand in your portfolio and your analysis of your progress online and in hard copy before you can register for fall 2010.

"It was good getting to see it for the first time," Jones said. "I got to sit down with the coaches and talk some ball. I got to talk to Coach (Gus) Malzahn for a good bit. He's a great guy. I didn't know he was that tall. He told us about his pretty interesting career.
"They've got a few coaches there that I already know," he added. "He's a great coach and a great guy. I already knew Coach (Rodney) Garner. I met Coach Cheese (Charlie Harbison) and I have known Coach (Melvin) Smith. I'm just getting to know them better and got to know more about them."
With offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee in addition to Auburn, Jones said right now he's still weighing his options as far as his top schools go but after seeing the Tigers they are definitely in the picture.
I took that three hour ride and it was worth it," Jones said. "They spread a light on a lot of things. They are serious over there. It's not just a ticket, but a chance to play in the NFL and have a great career under a great coach.
"They are up there," he added about Auburn. "Honestly, with what I saw today and what I heard. I didn't even do many of the things I have done other places but it went over by sitting down and talking to them."
With Jeffrey Whitaker, Gabe Wright, Angelo Blackson and Ben Bradley all seniors next season, Auburn will have playing time available in 2015. That's especially true for a player coming out of the junior college ranks like Jones and he said that's exciting to think about.
"That's real important," Jones said. "He (Garner) broke that down to me seeing how they are only going to have one or two defensive tackles once I came in. That's real important and something I haven't seen any other places."
Planning to make a decision sometime in November or early December and enroll in time for spring practice, Jones said he's currently got a big list he's working with but knows he'll visit both Auburn and Tennessee this fall for official visits.
"I have a Top 10," Jones said. "It consists of Alabama, Florida State, Auburn, Clemson, South Carolina, LSU, USC, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee."
As a freshman at EMCC, Jones helped his team win a NJCAA national championship by notching 49 total tackles, including eight for a loss and eight sacks. He also forced and recovered one fumble during the campaign. He will have three years to play two on the next level.

Actor Writes His Own Obituary, Would You? [VOTE]
Actor James Rebhorn passed away Friday of skin cancer. His obituary appeared on his church's website, but this one was a little abnormal… James wrote it himself. That's an interesting thought, isn't it? He obviously knew that his battle with cancer was coming to an end and wanted to leave his mark on those around him through his own words.
So, I ask you… If you knew it was almost your time to go, would you write your own obituary?

Best Poem of Mary Cornish
I like the generosity of numbers.
The way, for example,
they are willing to count
anything or anyone:
two pickles, one door to the room,
eight dancers dressed as swans.
I like the domesticity of addition--
add two cups of milk and stir--
the sense of plenty: six plums
on the ground, three more
falling from the tree.
And multiplication's school
of fish times fish,
whose silver bodies breed
beneath the shadow
of a boat.
Even subtraction is never loss,
just addition somewhere else:
five sparrows take away two,
the two in someone...

Wootalyzer's Pricing Post! - The price of today's woot item is saved here for future reference------------------------------------------------------------Ooma Telo VoIP Home Phone System$139.99 + $5 ShippingCondition: Refurbished*DISCLAIMER* Wootalyzer! is in no way affiliated with Woot!, and this post may not always be here!
if you do choose to cancel your land line and go with this, what will your phone number be?
Is this better than Magicjack? This is more expensive.
We've had our Ooma for a little over a month now, and we love it. We switched to get better call quality than Skype. (And we did.)
They do charge $10/month for their premier service if you wants things like voicemail forwarded to your email.

The option to get a new number at no charge or keep your current phone number (one-time porting fee of $39.99 - if available to port)
I bought one of these last time around. Fantastic is all I can say. My bill each month is under $3.50. This is for the taxes that you must pay, but $0 for local and long distance.
You can port your number with Ooma. I believe it takes 2-3 months to go through. We use it at home and love it. Cost each month (in CA) is only for taxes and comes out to a little over $3
I've had one of these for about 8 months. You still have pay local taxes every month, but its not much (I pay a whopping $3.47 a month). Haven't had any problems with the service at all. Their premium service has some awesome call blocking features to thwart telemarketers as well. Very good buy at this price.
If your Ooma experience will be anything like mine was, you'll thank me for telling you to to not buy one and instead get an OBi110 that integrates perfectly with Google Voice (and has zero monthly fees... for now).
KyserSoze wrote:Is this better than Magicjack? This is more expensive.
Ooma works with the computer off, and you pay nothing per month (unless it's the premier service) except for the government fees.
Got it from Costco for over $200. So far, after 3 month of use, decent. Voice call is fine. Setup is okay, require some work (to determine to put it behind the router or in front of it), and the fax is a hit & miss. Some of the faxes are received while others never made it (even though my all-in-one said it went through).
I say if voice is most important, go for it. But if fax is vital, then be aware.
Oh, it is not free. I pay about $3 and change per month for taxes.
I have one. I paid $200 for it and it's worth every penny.
We initially had some voice quality issues but it was resolved when I connected it directly to my router with QoS turned on. Before, it was connected to a switch connected to the router and maybe that confused QoS setting. I don't know.
Faxing with it has been iffy but browsing the website, I learned that adding *99 prefix to a fax number should make it better. I haven't had to try it yet since I don't use fax very often.
Our Ooma works with our alarm system, although the website says it's not compatible. The alarm technician talked us into upgrading our control unit but I don't know if we were just upsold or whether that was actually necessary. We didn't pay anything extra as we were on month-to-month at that point so the price of a new control unit was waived with a contract.
All in all, it's a great little system. I think it has google voice integration and other host of features, but since it works so well as is, I'm not particularly motivated to tinker with it and therefore not all that familiar with the full set of benefits. But why look around when I'm perfectly happy with what it offers?
I'm sure there'll be some discussion about this Ooma system and magic jack and similar systems. They are all pretty similar but have enough variations. Ooma is for someone looking for the old POTS experience, something you set up once and have it work transparently with highest compatibility with fax and alarms. Magic Jack would be fine for someone in a dorm or a small apartment who has a computer on fulltime downloading bittorrent files or whatever. You just get what works for you. There's no better or worse in the absolute sense.
We switched from Vonage and haven't looked back. $15 for premiere sure beats the $35 we were paying Vonage (that's $10 worth of fees each month).
The only thing I miss with Ooma is not being able to have calls ring on Ooma before forwarding to another number. It's either ring all, forward without ringing on Ooma or forward on network outage.
Although Ooma is designed to work alongside your landline it can also be used without a landline. Hooking it up to my router and plugging in my cordless phone's base station took less than 5 minutes. After setup online I was making calls within 10 minutes. I am using the first generation Ooma and I choose not to pay for any advanced features. So for me after the initial investment I will never have to pay another penny for local or long distance calls. After using the Ooma for a few years I can honestly say that I have NEVER had any problems or issues with it. Probably one of the smartest purchases I have ever made.
Got one last time it was on Woot and it's probably one of the best recent purchases I've made.
As someone mentioned earlier, you can port your number for 40 bucks, but it doesn't take the 2-3 months claimed, mine took 8 days. There's a federal law requiring your current carrier to comply within a very short period of time to a porting request (24-72 hours I think).
Premier service is available for $10 a month, I don't bother with it, some may want it. When you sign up you get 60 days premiere for free to test it out.
Otherwise it's only mandatory government taxes per month, I pay less than $3.50 a month for phone service. As far as I'm concerned Ooma has already paid for itself since I cancelled my $35/month voice plan I was on.
Also voicemail is available not just via the Ooma box, but online as well which is pretty cool.
If you have multiple phone jacks, you only need ONE Ooma. Also the main distinction between this and magic jack, as far as I can tell, is that Magic Jack requires you to have your computer on 24/7, Ooma does not. If there's a power failure or internet failure, you won't be able to make or receive calls.
Definitely recommend getting one.
yes, ooma/telo is the real deal. Got one last woot and ditched Vonage, never looked back. Call quality is great, no hiccups whatesoever, and bill is like $3.47 a month as advertised. We even ditched cable internet in favor of Clear (wimax) and call quality is still fab. Great purchase.
Got ours from Costco for only $199.99 with the Bluetooth adapter....better value at Costco due to the full warranty and the 90 day return policy, in case the service isn't up to par in your area.
I own one of these from a previous woot, and I love it. The service is great I have never had an issue.
For me it only costs $3.87 a month.
It replaced my primary line and I was able to port the number over very easily.
It certainly is a solid product and service that I can recommend from first hand experience for over 5 months.
for those of you worried about bandwidth I have a meter on my router that measures the Inbound/Outbound total bandwidth and during the call there is a spike of about 350Kbps to connect then it levels out at about 100-200Kbps there are a few spikes now and then but noting more than 400. I normally use this on Fios 25/25 but i brought it to my Dad's house to test it on his > 1Mbps dsl connection and it still worked great.
I have only had a delayed connection twice and both times it was to a cell phone with bad service.
I highly recommend this I might even get another for my dad its that good.
Last time Woot had these, they sold out. I didn't check Woot until 10PM that time.
I got two, one for me and one for my mom. When i couldn't get an Ooma, I bought a NetTalk instead. The NetTalk has many problems, I hope the Ooma is better.
I'll add my experience to the positive reviews. I got one of these from Woot about a year ago, I left Vonage and I couldn't be happier. $3.53 a month for call quality that's as good or better than I got from Vonage. The cheapest Vonage plan is about $20 per month with fees and taxes so this purchase already paid for itself. Ported my number, too - only took about 2 weeks to get it. I don't have a fax machine so I can't speak to its fax performance. But for simple voice calling it's the real deal and highly recommended.
If you are interested in Ooma service, I suggest seeking out the older Hub over the Telo. With the Telo, you have to pay the taxes ($3-4/month for most), but the Hub has no charges, ever.
We got the original Ooma Core Hub back in 2009.
No More Phone Bills! EVER.
It's paid for itself($250) many times over!
Still works beautifully every day.
Go Ooma!
I have the previous version and the sound quality is fantastic -- even better than our regular landline. Everything works as it should and setup took only a few minutes.
The biggest issue with all these VoIP services (telephony through the Internet) is that the Internet has to be available. Although we Manhattanites (NYC) generally have reliable and consistent Internet coverage (i.e. no floods, hurricanes or earthquakes), street repairs knocked out my access yesterday and today for about 1-2 hrs each day. And I suffered massive withdrawal. So as long as you have reliable Internet, this is a good option.
What is the difference between this model and a "ooma Hub VoIP Home Phone Service" which as solder at a cheaper price?

Also got one last time on woot. I leave it in my network cabinet out of sight and set the OOMA answering machine rings to 6. It feeds my Panasonic DECT 6.0 cordless system with built in answering machine set to pick up at 4 rings.
I pay for the upgraded service just for the "blacklist" feature to keep the knucklehead telemarkers from calling back.
It works great.
The only thing that annoys me is that automatic email notification is part of their Premium plan. With MagicJack, I was sent an email with the voice file every time someone left a message. With Ooma, that only happens with the Premium service. Otherwise, you have to log on and manually download the file. I'm involved in several legal issues, and retaining these messages are important to me.
I used a Magic Jack for about 1.5 years and while the voice quality was pretty bad I rarely used the phone (and my computer was always on anyway) so it didn't matter. I stayed with Magic Jack until they forced the screen saver / monitor power saver to be disabled. They claimed this was because when the computer went to sleep it caused problems with the phone being answered. I tried to explain to them that I understood that and I wasn't setting the computer to go to sleep (or hibernate) but only the monitor. They wouldn't budge and I personally think it's because they want their horrible ads to pop up all the time.
Anyway I jumped over to Ooma around Christmas of 2009 and I have been 100% happy with it! My setup has the Ooma device behind the router since the Ooma's QOS settings gave too much bandwidth to the Ooma. After that was set up it's worked perfectly.
I use Google voice with this but I do not have the premium package. Basically I set the Ooma answering machine to pick up after 99 seconds so when someone calls in using my Google voice number, Google's voice mail will pick it up instead of Ooma and send me an email transcript of the message. Setting this up this way you will either have to dial out on the computer or call your Google voice number and use option 2 to have your Google voice number appear on the receiver's caller ID.
There is a lot of information online about this, but really if you use this phone a lot and want to use Google voice, signing up for the premier service might be something to consider.
A lot of people ask me about the difference between MagicJack and this.
- MagicJack requires that your computer be on to receive and make calls. Ooma is a standalone device, and no computer is needed. Just think of Ooma as a minicomputer that exists for the singular purpose of telephony.
- if you leave your computer on just for MagicJack, there is significant wear on the hard drive and waste of electricity. But if your computer is always on anyway, i.e. as a server, then it's not an issue
- Magicjack was great, but I gave it up because I do A LOT of mutlitasking, and have high bandwidth use for other apps. That resulted in VERY choppy calls. If your computer is not doing much else, MagicJack has very good voice quality, comparable to Oooma (althoguh Ooma claims to use something called HD Voice which doubles available frequencies)
- Ooma is a one-time investment (if you don't need the Premoium services) whereas MagicJack has a low monthly/yearly fee.
I have both a MagicJack and Ooma. I can call anywhere with my Ooma, but when I try to call family in Wisconsin MagicJack gives me a recorded message saying that they do not have an agreement with the phone companies in this area so the phone call cannot be completed.
Also Ooma takes hardly any bandwidth for great reception. I can't be doing anything on the internet if I am using the MagicJack.
Needless to say the MagicJack will not be renewed.
Current Vonage bill = $26.50 mth
Ooma = $145 + $4 mth
Should pay for itself by Christmas!!!
I'm in.
A lot of people are concerned that Ooma can go bankrupt at any time. This is a concern because studies show that more and more people are giving up landlines in favor of cellular service. I wouldn't worry. The minimum monthly phone bill is about $40 for us NYers (we have to pay that much monthly even without making any calls ... all those damn unexplained surcharges!). At that rate, you'd make up the cost of this Ooma in about 3-4 months. So even if Ooma goes belly up in 4 months, you end up spending nothing. And I think it's safe to assume that Ooma will be around for at least several more years.
You can port your phone number to Ooma. Took about two weeks for mine to port.
Just one more positive voice:
I've used this model for quite a while now.
I ported over my # (maybe 8 or 10 day wait)
and never looked back at my landline.
Voice quality is very good.
Honestly, I wish I made more long distance calls...
I'd be getting even better value.
Big thumbs up.
p.s. I only took the leap because Costco was
standing behind it (they even made a promo
video for Costco.com)
This is a no brainer. Great product. Voice quality for me is crystal clear, even better than the voice over FiOS which this replaced.
Ooma Telo VoIP...what? is this even English? is it even a human language?
Great buy, works great. Purchased from Woot, and 100% satisfied. Ooma's customer service is fantastic.
Been using our Ooma service for almost a year now and couldn't be happier. We have the premiere service so we can block numbers we don't want (eg: telemarketers) plus a bunch of other features. Even with the yearly fee and monthly govt. taxes, it's still a lot cheaper than our old telco and we didn't have any features with them.
Porting took about 2 weeks to complete and the call quality is great. We use it with the Ooma handset which isn't a great phone but it serves it's purpose and allows access to Ooma features. The web interface is not too bad. It can be a little slow sometimes but no big deal. You can configure your service there, listen to voicemails and save them to your HD if you want and configure blocking, etc.
Overall I would give Ooma, it's service and it's equipment 4 out of 5 stars.
Always seems to be good helpful info in previous Woot sales forum discussions.

Does anyone know if this can be used for a small business? We have 5 employees using one phone number. Could this be used with a set of wireless phones or would you have to use the Ooma headsets (they limit it to 4)? Could 2 or more people be making calls at the same time?

Very broad question it all depends on what all your plans are for your car in the future, if you're looking for power, if you're looking for control/safe etc.
But generally speaking up pipe, turbo back exhaust, cobb ap, downpipe
P.S. I'm actually selling my 03 wrx and might be returning it to stock so if you're looking at buying some mods PM me and we can talk it up
I'm not a Subaru savvy person, but I always opt for (in order) :
#1 Suspension, wheels, brakes
#2 Power/Drivetrain
#3 Esthetics (if desired)
well this is my dream idea.
Find a audi with good engine and completely stock, and black exterior and enterior.
My plans, in general, are:
1)Suspension, probably drop 1.5" or so
2)Custom exhaust
3)18" bbs rims (maybe polished lip) with yohahoma tires
4)Upgrade brakes
5)Tint windows and maybe tail lights
6)HID lights
after all that shenanigans, depending how I feel, I might toss on a fat turbo on it and have a ball
Saying that I will agree with you to an extent
You probably want to ask more specific questions, explore your car a bit and your options. before thinking about moding your car
Since you just bought the car, why don't you just drive it for a while.
That way, once you are used to it, you can better decide what you think it needs to better suit you.
Once you figure out a general guideline of what you are looking to change, you can then ask more specific questions such as "I'm thinking about exhaust, what are some different options I should consider going with for X vehicle?"
I agree, a person has to start somewhere, but doing modifications I don't feel is something that needs to be 'rushed' by any means.
As much as I know my local tuner hates a pickle party at his shop, it might be the best thing for you to go to a tuning shop and talk with the person(s) who work on them all the time.
My experience is the people who go for looks are never happy. You bought an awesome machine tighten the nut behind the wheel before you worry about anything else.
Last, welcome to the family those that will insult you because of your noobiness were there once to. I think its when you get to 500 posts you are considered a subaru genius (apparently Jeffmm06 is just that.)

I understand that seeing the same question/s posted over and over and over by new members can be a little frustrating. However, I think some of you may have just been surfing with your new-post button and perhaps you didn't realize you were actually posting in "New Member Hangout" Forum...
This is definitely not the forum for "Do a search N00b!!! I don't pick your blah blah..." posts. Even if it was only meant as humor I don't think too man new folks would find it funny. We were all new at some point. Well... except me... j/k
Make sure you pay attention to where you are posting and if you don't like n00b questions then don't post in the NMH forum.

Personally, I'd start with the convertible mod. It's a really great one, just get a chopsaw and have at it. Costs very little and it'll give you some great benefits. With the top off, you're also going to be a lot faster with all of that weight loss.

Excellent Results - Upper Blepharoplasty and Restylane - Wellesley, MA
I had an upper blepharoplasty on one eyelid, to make it more symmetrical with the other, and also had Restylane injections under both eyes. These were done at the same visit, and took about 45 minutes total. Both procedures were simple, relatively pain free, and the results are terrific. READ MORE


text: Not just surviving, but thriving By Dave Hickman March 3, 2014 Story Share AP Photo West Virginia coach Mike Carey talks to official Maj Forsberg during the first half against Baylor Sunday. MORGANTOWN — Mike Carey was recalling Monday a game earlier this season that wasn't much different than a lot of other games his West Virginia women's basketball team has played.In other words, the Mountaineers were trailing."I can remember Christal Caldwell down at Oklahoma. We were down 10 or 12 and I was all over them in the huddle,'' Carey said. "And she walked by me after we break and she says, 'Coach, we got this. We got this.'"I said, 'Well, you better hurry up. We're running out of time if we've got this.' "That game in Oklahoma, like so many others this season, eventually did turn out the right way for WVU. After all, this is a team that to date has played 29 games and won 26 of them, so more often than not if Carey is assured by his players that they've got it, well, they probably do.But, man, is it nerve-wracking."This group likes when the game is close,'' Carey said. "A lot of teams don't like that. . . . I don't like it.'' Welcome to the success story that is West Virginia's women's basketball team. It is apparently a team that, like it or not, just loves waiting until the last minute to get things done. But almost every time, it is a group that gets it done.Consider that heading into tonight's home game at 7 against Kansas — the final game at the Coliseum for this team and for five seniors who are at the heart of it — the Mountaineers are 26-3 and freshly minted as the No. 7 team in this week's Associated Press Top 25. It is a team that has played six games against other Top 25 teams, won five and avenged the only loss. It has a chance, with a win tonight, to earn a Big 12 championship trophy that would be only the third league title of any kind in the program's history (a 1992 Atlantic 10 regular-season title and a 1989 A-10 tourney win were the others).Perhaps the only thing more remarkable than any of that is that were its games 35, 36 — shoot, sometimes 39 and then some — minutes long, it might be average at best."We've been down 12, 14 in the second half and been able to come back,'' Carey said. "But you can't keep doing that against good teams because it's going to catch up to you.'' Well, it hasn't caught up to the Mountaineers yet. In fact, it's a situation in which they have managed to thrive.No less than six times in WVU's 17 Big 12 games have the Mountaineers been behind in the final eight minutes. In two straight games just last month, West Virginia trailed by at least 13 points to Oklahoma and TCU and won. The Mountaineers were down a dozen to Oklahoma State, by eight to Texas in the last 3 1/2 minutes and by six at Kansas.And then Sunday afternoon, they trailed Baylor by as many as eight. It was on the road against the No. 6 team in the nation on the Bears' senior day. That they won despite trailing and without the ball in the final 15 seconds was as much a testament to resolve as it was to forcing All-America guard Odyssey Sims into a turnover with 12 seconds to play. "It is a special group,'' Carey said.Carey doesn't have much hesitation about calling that 71-69 win over Baylor in Waco the biggest in the 13 years he's coached the team, even if a handful of others might seem contenders. It's not the highest-ranked team his Mountaineers have beaten because there was a win over a No. 2 Notre Dame team in 2012. It's not even the highest-ranked team WVU has beaten on the road. The Notre Dame game and a win over No. 5 Louisville team in 2009 both were on the road. "It's probably the biggest one because it gives us an opportunity to win the Big 12,'' Carey said. "I can remember beating Notre Dame and beating Rutgers [in the 2006 Big East tournament semifinals]. They were great wins for the program, but they weren't for [a chance to win] a conference championship.''It's good to be in a position of having tough choices to make in regard to best-ever wins, of course, but here's the thing about that list. In every other instance the big wins were isolated in that they didn't really lead to something. In the Big East, if you beat Notre Dame or Rutgers or Louisville, there was always the Darth Vader-like Connecticut program still at arm's length.Well, when West Virginia left the Big East for the Big 12, Baylor became the same sort of nemesis. But even so, now that Carey's team has managed to vanquish the two-time national champion, they still haven't accomplished much. In order for that win over the Bears to mean more, the Mountaineers have to follow through and win against Kansas tonight in order to make it really count.And that's why it took Carey about 10 seconds after the win on Sunday to start looking forward. He then spent a night of travel — because of weather the team didn't arrive back in Morgantown until Monday morning — reiterating his point to his team."The most important game is [Kansas],'' said Carey, whose team can clinch at least a tie for the Big 12 title with a win [Baylor finishes at Iowa State]. "I knew we'd be ready for Baylor, but we can't take Kansas for granted. They're good enough to beat you.''As long as the game goes the full 40 minutes, though, you have to like this team's chances.

text: As the title suggests, I'm new to the forum and to Subaru as well. In just about an hour I'm heading down to Jacksonville, FL to go look at a used 04 WRX that's got 110k miles. Can someone give me a rough estimate of about how many miles a very slightly modified 04 wrx engine can last? Thanks to all!
