    Saddam has been killed twice now.

    Baghdad is liberated but Americans can't get to where that house was blown up to look for his body.

    So, the American attention span is 3 weeks. So expect Saddam to be killed again in 3 weeks.

    What is so funny about not being able to connect to Slashdot? It is my personal worst nightmare.

    Sorry folks, I'm not going to shell out several hundred dollars for a stinking remote. And I doubt that many readers of /. will.

    If someone knows where I can see some mid-priced scanner comparative reviews, I'm all ears.

    What about my RF bose remote? Neither of the products (or any other remote AFAIK) support bose systems. I think the pronto mentioned rf functionality, but that is only with it's own base unit (for emulating rf with ir products). Does anyone know of a remote that is compatible with bose systems?

    The products don't support Bose with good reason. These remotes are meant for relatively high-end or better mid-level systems, which Bose isn't.
