Considering my FiOS U/L speed is only about 5Mbps, I assume the median upload speed in the US wasn't supposed to be 435Mbps, but instead 435Kbps, right?

These AVG comments are funny (or maybe it's Grisoft). Considering the AVG ad on page 13 of the June 2008 issue of MPC states "70 million people switched to AVG 8.0 because it protects from online threats *without* slowing PC's or networks to a crawl." (emphasis added) Sounds like it's time for MPC (the Dog maybe?) to investigate.

Agreed. I'd love to have Apple stop bugging me to install Safari. I'm not f'ing interested. FF3b5 works great for me.

Only Series 2 TiVo boxes don't support progressive download from Unbox. Series 3 boxes and TiVo HD boxes both allow immediate playback from Unbox. With my S3 and FiOS, I can happily watch right away.

For the longest time MPC recommended using Exact Audio Copy and LAME for encoding to MP3. Recently, Will Smith, I believe, mentioned using straight iTunes for ripping. This was a surprise to me as I had been following the EAC/LAME method for my whole CD collection. Why this change in method?

I enjoy this new found explicit freedom. If you guys are concerned with losing listeners, create a separate edited, clean version for that one listener who wants to share the MPC podcast experience with their 4yo child. It's not really any more work than someone was doing originally.
