Comment Re:Denon (Score 1) 210

Even though I really like my (older) Denon receiver, I will never buy another one because of that "audiophile grade" Denon Link cable. If they'll rip someone off for 6' of cat 5 (with directionality arrow!!) I have to believe that they're ripping me off at least a little bit on anything I buy. I was really quite bummed when I saw it: I had always assumed that when I bought a better receiver I'd just get another Denon and not have to worry about it.

Comcast Intercepts and Redirects Port 53 Traffic 527

An anonymous reader writes "An interesting (and profane) writeup of one frustrated user's discovery that Comcast is actually intercepting DNS requests bound for non-Comcast DNS servers and redirecting them to their own servers. I had obviously heard of the DNS hijacking for nonexistent domains, but I had no idea they'd actually prevent people from directly contacting their own DNS servers." If true, this is a pretty serious escalation in the Net Neutrality wars. Someone using Comcast, please replicate the simple experiment spelled out in the article and confirm or deny the truth of it. Also, it would be useful if someone using Comcast ran the ICSI Netalyzr and posted the resulting permalink in the comments.

I'm going to go through each game, make my pics, but probably have a few "won't be surprised if..." phrases to not hang myself out to dry when I'm completely wrong ;)
