Don't forget Jack Bauer in his day #9 (Live Another Day).

Tune into http://www.whitehouse.gov/, just like any other idiot box channel be it http://abc.go.com/, http://www.nbc.com/, http://www.cbs.com/, http://www.cwtv.com/, http://www.fox.com/, suck up the corporate cool aide and be informed, of what you are meant to know, and about how you are meant to think and whom you have to vote for. All the channels with the same corporate message, all the talking heads reading off the same Teleprompter feed. The US no longer has a president, it just has another puppet, saying what it is told to say, pretending it thinks for itself, and working ever so hard at dumbing down the airwaves. Of course the rest of the world is looking at the office of the President of the United States and realising just how a empty suit really occupies that position.

The hackers got into the home security system and caused it to mis-identify the homeowners as intruders. This caused the home security system to activate its laser targeted rifle and shoot (to kill) one of the homeowners.

Ooops .. sorry .. that was last nights episode of Almost Human

  (and its pretty sad when Fox has better Scif-Fi on than the Sy-Fy channel)

I respect NDT, but AFAIK the man has never accepted a paycheck in his life that wasn't from academia or a government entity.

Not true, soon you will be able to watch NDT on COSMOS: A SPACETIME ODYSSEY on FOX!

"Chubby d00dz taser random people", tonight on Fox.

I think this show will prove you can make a good SF TV show on a reasonable budget with excellent special effects...

That's why it's always fun to go to the hospital and say "I don't feel good. I've felt like this for the last couple months. I was looking online and I'm pretty sure I have Ebola"

    Just kidding, I've never done that. Well, never been serious when I did. :)

    I wonder how many people have watched Discovery channel, House, or whatever show with some obscure ailment, and then rush off to the hospital sure that their lingering ailment is what they just showed.

Should we kill no-farmville-for-you dept because he/she keeps making up sensationalist headlines.

Fox news is over here => http://www.fox.com/ you fucking tool!

You're referring to Fox News, a CABLE channel.

No matter how good you think you can read minds, you're wrong, I was not talking about the cable channel Fox New, Fox also owns TV and radio broadcasting stations.

Falcon

I actually do not have an option available to me that offers me that episode, even if I wanted to pay, nobody's there that would want to take my money.

This one is like shooting fish in a barrel!

d) Watch it free online at FOX's website.

I saw old Pine v4.44 on 24 a few seasons ago. I took a few HD screen captures to share in my newsgroup/usenet thread.

Maybe they've been watching too much Dollhouse. I don't think anything special will come out of this. But it is a special moment for Slashdot. It's their first article that mentions a programmable device without somebody asking if it can run Linux. At least as far as I've read.

Maybe the answer is robots.txt; but that is not what you tell a billionaire if he asks you.

Why not? It's a pretty simple concept.

http://www.myspace.com/robots.txt
http://www.newscorp.com/robots.txt

As my son's fifth grade math textbook points out, that's an irregular fraction and should not be confused with an actual fraction.

You might want to avoid going on a certain gameshow.

Funny - I've never had any trouble watching Dollhouse whenever I want to. It's always on at the same time - when I want to see it - just by going to http://www.fox.com/fod/

Seriously - Internet TV changes everything. I moved a couple months back, ditched the dual-dish + DVR that we had the old house while we moved. In the meantime, we've been using hulu, netflix, wtso.net, casttv.com, and the like to watch our shows.

Internet TV rocks! We watch what we want, when we want to, with little/no commercial interruptions, LEGALLY! Even when we've never heard of the show before... Downloading torrents is crap. I'm talking about click & play, armed with nothing more than a 3 Mb Internet connection and a Mac mini with a big screen.

Seriously, give it a shot. I don't think I'll ever end up buying an HDTV.

Nah my way is better, they'll be forced to do everything with pen and paper. It will be good for them. The Amish call that idleness which is a sin one should be shunned for by the community. :)

"And don't expect me to take down my hospital for ANY reason."

Yes sir, Dr. Gregory House, MD, sir!

Seems strange that the narrator sounds like the Scottish T-1001 from the Sarah Connor Chronicles. http://www.fox.com/terminator/bios/#bio:catherine

Didn't they do something like this on Fox's Fringe series as a plot device?

For anyone unfamiliar with the show, it's basically Fox's response to Eureka on the SciFi channel, only much, much darker and probably unlikely to last more than one season...

Dr. Gregory House?

Anything mentioned on the new Fox show Fringe.

I agree. "Google has a health product! That must mean THEY'RE A WITCH!"

Calm yourself, woman!

What if Google had a Google Crime product where you can track not the history of crimes, but the PATTERNS that they occur. For instance, most thefts occur within a mile of where a suspect lives.

What this product (Google Health) could do is CONFIDENTIALLY (Yes, CONFIDENTIALLY) track patterns for aliements or for statistical values. No one is going to know about your problems unless you share them PUBLICLY, and as we have seen in many medical dramas what happens when patients do not tell their doctor TRUTHFULLY what is wrong with them!

Personally, I would be more concerned about my ISP intercepting that information than Google having it.

I wouldn't be agreeable to those. The applications that are used by the minority of internet users today are going to become mainstream tomorrow. Everybody is slamming bittorrent but missing the point that internet video is probably going to be the next killer app.

I went to http://www.fox.com/ looking for an email address to send a complaint to and saw an ad for the Terminator TV show with, you guessed it, a naked woman (or robot, or whatever) who is showing way more skin than I saw when I played Mass Effect.

Fox recently released their free online Fox On Demand service. It requires you to install some software but the whole thing is web based and I have nothing but good experiences with it. New episodes appear on the service a few days after they air.

Thanks for the spoilers for the future Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles episode. [grin]

Well Joe, anti-piracy lawsuits, and the fear that goes with them, are actually a healthy part of the Media Ecosystem. You see, there exists a test bed for new shows, where they are usually created, and then individual market players can get all sue-happy, or whatever they like, confined in the test-bed known as the 'united states of america'.

Because you see, my dear Joe Pirate, nobody of consequence (eg. me, in calm Canada) gets sued. It's all these imaginary "americans", who as you know from watching television, are a make-believe people that couldn't possibly exist in real life. I mean, just imagine some of the whacky hijinks these "americans" get up to every week. They're ridiculous, really only a Corporate-Media creation for our entertainment.

This allows the consumers, you and me, to download all the shows we like in peace, secure in the knowledge that immoral copyright lawsuits and whatnot will only happen in fictional programming, where it belongs.

I thought Fox, ABC, CBS, and NBC were the (mostly) White Family Channels.

The Black Family Channel just happens to reveal their target demographic in their name.

Oddly enough, in the U.S., the TV producers have capitalized on their, and a large part of the rest of the world's, own ineptitude.

Hell, why limit yourself to 3rd party sites? A few tens of thousands of DMCA takedowns sent to the service providers of 20th Century Fox, Time Warner and Paramount ought to be good for a laugh.

Worried about the legality? Do it from a foreign country...

All purely hypothetical of course.

The NEWSWEEK Poll, conducted March 28-March 29, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points for questions based on all registered voters and plus or minus 6 percentage points for results based on registered Republicans and Republican leaners. In conducting the poll, Princeton Survey Research Associates International interviewed 1,004 adults aged 18 and older.

It's not that hard to believe after watching an episode of "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader". It's hard to imagine how dumb people can be before you actually see it. People who can't subtract 5 from 12 without using their fingers and taking 30 seconds to figure it out. People who think that all the continents are countries. ( Even after being able to name them all). Or people who can't do simple math like, "If y=3x and 3x=12 then what does y equal?" Seriously, the lack of intelligence in some people is amazing.

pH34r: dude, like, they just totally nuked chicago

I was watching that last night, I mistakenly thought I was watching http://www.fox.com/tradingspouses/ though. I've never heard of wife swap, but they seem to be exactly the same.

I thought this was about Jack Bauer and the FOX's 24 TV series. :(

"So you think you can dance" on FOX?

Who needs ninjas when we have Jack Bauer?

8. What if I miss a show? Can I get VHS tapes, DVDs or electronic copies (via streaming or download) of FOX Network Primetime Shows sent to me?

ANSWER:
The FOX Network does not directly send out VHS tapes, DVDs or electronic copies of any of shows, specials or movies that currently air on the Network, but you may be able to catch a re-run or buy an earlier season of your favorite show on VHS or DVD from an online store or at your local retailer. Especially on a go-forward basis, you may have additional options for acquiring an electronic copy of a missed show either from your cable or satellite operator or from an online store.

Also, you could find a co-worker, friend, family or neighbor who may have made an analog tape or a digital copy (on a DVD or DVR) of the show off-the-air so they could watch it later. You could watch it with them (go on, invite yourself over!) or maybe they will let you borrow their tape or DVD if you promise to return it! Programs that have been recorded off the air cannot be sold or rented or forwarded to you via the internet without authorization from their copyright owner, so don't be fooled if someone offers to sell or rent you a copy they've made - it's an illegal transaction.

I think most people will want 2 capture devices--watching one thing and recording another is normal, right?

You don't need two capture devices to watch one thing while recording another. You need two capture devices to record two shows that are on at the same time. Since you watch only stuff that's already been recorded, you can do that anytime, regardless of what the tuners are doing. Next Tuesday, for instance, Overhaulin' and The Unit are on at the same time. Overhaulin' gets recorded on one of the PVR-500's tuners, while The Unit gets recorded (in HD) from the FireWire output on the cable box.

The scheduler can often resolve conflicts by recording one show at an earlier or later date than the other (for instance, Overhaulin' is repeated three hours later), but if I wanted to record both The Unit and House, there's no way to resolve that scheduling conflict without having more than one capture device.

Hmmph, editors removed my brief comment.

Does anyone think American Inventor fits better instead of American Idol for this story? It seems like this story is about inventing.

Fox does free podcasts, you can download your favorite episode of Arrested Development free of DRM.

Actually, Jack Bauer says nucular.. so it's got my vote.

Bauer.. Simpson.. Bush..

(And I'm sure other people on Fox say it like that too)

I agree on 24 as well. Another good show.

Rule 1. They lie. End users often tell you what they think yout wan to hear.

You ever watch House M.D.? Because you sound like him already.

Actually, neurons have more states than just "on" and "off". They exist in the analog world, so they can reach a continuous range of values.

So saying that, neurons are more like dimmer switches...

There's been a lot of discussion here lately about how Forbes and howstuffworks.com have been providing "articles" that are thinly vieled attempts at promoting movies like Batman and Star Wars. But this attempt at pushing cloning into the limelight on the very same day that FOX is showing Jurassic Park II: The Lost World is just too damn much. I never would have dreamed that National Geographic would sell out like this.

STOP THE INSANITY!
