Canceled FIOS after testing for 2 days

Signed up at the door when the FIOS sales people were promoting their sales.
Installed.
Cancelled after only 2 days.
Why?
FIOS does not have H2 in HD. I love the Universe series on H2, so, that's enough reason to cancel it.  Plus, HLN, Style, C-SPAN-1,2,3, none of these is in HD, and guess what, I end up paying more than I pay Comcast, whereas the latter has all of these said channles in HD.
You either have to have more channels in HD or you have to have more competitive price.

Did you also cancel? I do believe they will keep on adding more HD channels, but for what I already have with comcast and the price, there simply is no reason for me to keep FIOS, not even with its 300 bucks visa gift card.

They actually have started to add a bunch of channels in HD.  No idea if H2 will be one of them.

  • Server goes into constant Full GC loop after running for a day

    From the log it seemed that the memory usage jumped by 150M to 250M within 1.5 second, even when the user traffic was very light (a couple of page views a second, vs. 10 page views a second at peak). The same app was running fine for many hours on a Windows dev machine in load testing condition with about 300M heapsize. No memory leakage was found so far. (it would be pretty unlikely to have such a large memory leakage without being noticed in dev and testing)
    Thanks for any help.

    A NewSize of 512m seems small for an 8G heap. This would probably cause most objects to be rapidly tenured into the OldGen heap space. (Ultimately depends on your application.) You might consider either using a NewRatio in place of NewSize/MaxNewSize or not use either and instead see how the jvm handles things itself with"-XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolicy"
    VisualVM is a good graphical tool for watching gc activity.
    NewRatio=1 is the largest you can go for Eden, which will set (Eden and survivor spaces) equal to oldGen space. ie, for 8G, 4g each.
    Watch activity in the gc tool, you will see "sawtooth" activity. If your sawtooth pattern does not maintain a flat profile, then you have in fact have a memory leak.

  • Temporary cancel a recurring alarm for the day?

    Is it possible to cancel a recurring alarm for the day? For instance, if I wake up early before the alarm goes off, I'd like to cancel the alarm from going off just for that morning. For now, I simply disable the alarm when I get up and then enable it again later in the night before I go to sleep. The problem with this is that I sometimes forget to enable it again.
    Maybe the iOS clock app doesn't have this function but perhaps there are other alarm clock apps that can do this?

    Hi Deepak,
    The Archive server is running as usual. But the ECC was a bit slow than usual. No error msg. I solve the problem by forwarding the message through T-Code SWIA and the workflow is working fine. It just that i need to complete the workflow manually in T-Code SWIA after posting. How can i automatically complete the workflow?

  • My one gripe after using for a day

    Have to say, Keynote is a pretty amazing application. I do presentations on an almost daily basis, so am looking forward to using it.
    My one (minor?) gripe having played with it for a day or so:
    After I am done editing text in a slide and I want to move to the next slide, I hit 'page down' on my keyboard and nothing happens. I have to literally click outside of the textbox that I have been editing first and THEN it will recognise 'page down'.
    I tried searching for an alternative keyboard shortcut, but to no avail.
    Anyone have a workaround?

    Typing Command-Return while in a text box will exit that box, and at that point you can hit Page Down to move to the next slide. This process at least means you don't have to handle the mouse, and with the appropriate software you could probably create a script/macro that would put both the Command-Return and Page Down functionality together.
    (By the way, the Command-Return tip comes from the "Keyboard Shortcuts" menu item in the Keynote Help menu -- I have generally found the shortcuts summary to be extremely helpful in all sorts of situations.)

  • G4 quicksilver won't start after disconnecting for 10 days.

    Wemt on holiday for 10 days. Disconnected the mac from the wall. Just got back to find the start up button glows for a couple of seconds then dies. Is there a battery or something that has died. Any ideas?

    Resetting the Logic Board
    Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems. Whenever you have a
    unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure
    before replacing any modules.
    1 Unplug the computer.
    2 Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
    3 Open the side access panel.
    4 Remove the battery from the logic board.
    5 Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
    6 Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/-
    direction.
    7 Reassemble the computer and test the unit.
    Note:
    This procedure resets the computer’s PRAM. Be sure to
    check the computer’s time/date and other system parameter settings

  • My 160 G Ipod classic only turns on after waiting for a day or two?

    My Ipod classic started acting up the other day. I don't know why. I thought it was completely toast but i left it alone for a day and then i turned it on again. Then i restored it and that helped for a bit, but then the same thing happened again? any ideas on this issue.

    First thing to do is to check the iPod Hardisk health, by doing the iPod Disk Diagnostics, refer to this excellent post by tt2.
    It wont fix your problem, but help us in troubleshooting, and saving a lot of frustrations, with suggestions like Reset, Restore, Re-install etc.
    Have a nice day!

  • My iPod touch 4g will not turn on after charging for a day what do I do ?

    please help

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • WHAT A LOW QUALITY KEYBOARD!!​! Broken after using for ONE day, what should I do????

    Hi guys~
    I've bought my first thinkpad x230 from lenovo offical online store and recived it on yesterday. I was very exciting when I receive this extreamely light and pretty notebook.
    -However, it not last long... After typing a series of numbers, the “5” key was automatically filped open!!! And I can not put it back again!!!
    -I can't understand why will this happen in such kind of well-known computer? I have never faced this kind of problem when I using those cheap keyboard!
    So, I wan't to know what should I do? I've contacted the tech support, she told me she will submit my problem to some guys and hopefully call me back, however, I didn't receive any call from lenovo.
    I've searched on google and found some guy's thinkpad also have this problem....What should I say? How bad luck I am or what a low quality of lenovo? Or both?
    Can I bring this poor quality thinkpad to the nearest retailer store to seek for help？ Or I should go to the official service center which is very far from me....
    BTW, in this case can I return this notebook for free? Or get a free repleacement of the broken key?

    Can I just bring my laptop to the nearest service center and get this problem solved directly? You know, usually it will takes several days to receive the backup keyborad, I can't wait
    You'll have to phone the service center and ask. (When I lived not far from Lenovo's Canadian service center and wanted to bring in a ThinkPad for warranty repair they said that would be OK with them but my unit would be put on a queue the same as if I'd shipped it in. They simply didn't offer walk-in, while you wait service.)
    In the interim it may or may not be possible to reattach the key, even just temporarily, depending on whether it wasn't put on properly at the factory or if it's physically broken in some way. Or you could use an external keyboard until Lenovo sends you a replacement, etc.
    I've just call the local service center, he told me that he can not repair individual key, they can just replace the whole keyboard..... How bad luck I am!!!

  • 5th Gen Ipod won't start after setting for a day...

    If I let my Ipod sit for more than a day or two after turning it off it will not start up but keeps displaying the folder icon with the support URL.
    I try to reset it but it will not reset, it just keeps starting up and displaying the folder and then turns off.
    The only way to get it to work is to plug it into an external charger (not my PC) and then it starts up OK.
    Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is doing this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

  • Disappearing cursor after sleeping for the day

    I just bought a 20" ACD and use it with my 12" PowerBook Rev. C. When I take my PB home for the night, I put it to sleep and then unplug everything from its ports. When I wake it up to work at home, it wakes immediately, but the mouse cursor has disappeared. If I move my finger on the trackpad, the computer responds, but without a cursor, i.e. I can activate menus, switch windows, etc. but only if I am lucky enough to land on that part of the screen. Logging out doesn't bring the cursor back, but restarting does. The same thing happens in the morning when I bring my sleeping PB back to the office and plug in to the ACD, this time using the external USB mouse to wake up. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    An update: To eliminate the disappearing cursor problem, I now:
    - Plug in the display connection while the computer is sleeping,
    - Open the PB,
    - Plug in the USB hub connection,
    - Close the PB lid to turn off the built in LCD, then use the USB mouse to wake the system.
    When leaving the ACD at the end of the day, I:
    - Unplug the USB hub connection,
    - Open the PB,
    - Tell the computer to sleep,
    - Unplug the display connection,
    - Shut the PB lid.
    No more disappearing cursors.

  • My 3rd generation ipod touch shut off but now won't charge and is not recognized by my computer. All it shows is the black screen with the apple logo. It did this once before and after letting it sit for a day it charged. I tried this again but nothing.

    The screen shot the tester sent me only says that it was canceled.  However, the log shows the following:

    I'm not sure it was an error, per se, but maybe SAP canceled it because it had been running too long?  The "DATASET_NOT_OPEN" is curious although I've no idea what it means.
