    Call me old fashioned, but if I ever get hitched, girl is taking my name. Not negotiable.

    Won't work with AT&T, probably. They do credit checks right?

    And if you think the above is in any way shape or form "pushing the envelope", you should see some of the stuff I worked into official, publicly -accessible documents when I worked for the government. Me and two other guys would have contests where we'd come up with a word or phrase and whoever worked it into an "office action" (as they were called) first won. I never lost. If I have a skill in the world, it's the ability to work in basically anything short of flat-out obscenity seamlessly into any document, no matter the level of formality. If I ever write a Supreme Court brief, I'll take requests from members of the 8th.

    Normally I would have, but I just didn't think the initial line was strong enough to follow-up on. Next time, though.

    You can give it a shot. And I drop off the old equipment and then the new equipment gets setup when a tech comes out. So the obvious downside is that you have to set up all your DVR recordings again, and you lose anything on your DVR.

    You can also have Comcast send you a box with a UPS label to return equipment, if you don't want to go physically drop it off.

    That's pretty good.

    Do you have to use "exemplary embodiment" in patent writing? Because it uses it a lot.

    Must be a middle TN bias.

    I've never had any issues with em.
    That said, they better pick up the SEC deal.

    I legitimately feel sorry for all of you. Soon I'll be in the boat with you.

    Yes. Everything is just an example of the invention. Nothing is ever really the invention. Same idea with the word "may". It may do this or it may do that or it may be capable of performing a rusty trombone, but in some embodiments is may perform the dirty sanchez. At the end of every patent, you'll find a set of "claims". That's what defines your scope of exclusion. The reason for all the "may" and "exemplary" in the specification is to avoid boxing yourself in when it comes time to write, and/or amend the claims. You wanna have freedom to be able to claim peformance of either the dirty sanchez or the rusty trombone, and so you would never ever write in the specification a word like "required". The invention is never required to perform a dirty sanchez, but in some exemplary embodiments it may cause the area above your lips to become a bit smellier.

    I just picked a random switch day. Called a few weeks before and told them I'd be moving and to shut of my service then. Gave them my parent's house for the new address and told them to send my final bill there. A few days later wife calls and tells them she is moving into to our place the day after my shut off date. New boxes and all that stuff are a part of the deal. Service guy isn't going to remember as this is done like once every two years and odds are super low it would be the same guy, anyway.

    I got the wife's official approval last night. When I told her as of now Dish will have SEC Network and DirecTV won't she said, "Uh, yeah, we're going to change."

    I love her.

    Do they ask for SSN? I may just do that, and pay my dad in advance and use his credit card.

    If they don't ask for SSN, could one just do that with a prepaid debit card (like the ones you buy at 7-11 and put money on) and a phony name?
