Huh. Something seems to be going on with my cable: half the TV channels are missing (including, bizarrely, the sound but not the picture from Fox News, which I don't want to watch in any case) and the internet is working in fits and starts. Fortunately CBS still seems to work ...

Edit: Looks like a fairly widespread problem; one suspects major trouble at the cable-co local headquarters. It's very frustrating; all my equipment is working fine, but it feels like sharing a dialup connection with a dozen people. There were comments I wanted to make, but they'll have to wait.
