TiVo For Radio?

An anonymous reader points out this Wired story that says "several electronics makers are releasing new products that promise to do for radio what the TiVo digital video recorder has done for television." (Products that might seem puny to serious time-shifting radio listeners, but cool to see them anyhow.)

Isn't that...

Isn't that called a Tape Recorder???? Seriously, a Tape is much better for this, and most radios have tape players builtin ANYWAYS.

NPR its virtually the only American Media that seems to be capable of balanced/objective international news.

I'm sorry, but something isn't coming through right in your post. Maybe you meant to write "Fox News" when instead you wrote "NPR."

And, about the "piknos mooching off taxpayers" - Are there really clueless rednecks like this still left?

Try asking Bill Moyers sometime where all his money comes from. He might not be getting all of his money from Uncle Sam, but he sure knows how to take what was originally a government-funded production and squeeze millions more out of it that he can hand over to the likes of tompaine.com.

McCarthy is dead

Is he? With groups like International ANSWER (a peacenik front group of the Workers World Party) running around, we could use someone like McCarthy right now.

Not everyone grew up on a diet of Jingoism and 100% Pure American Capitalism(TM).

Those who didn't only wish they did. :-) Since when does any expression that you might think your country's doing the Right Thing qualify as "jingoisn," anyway?

But really, is this the level of discourse of the American Right? Pinko-namecalling and Rush-Fucking-Limbaugh?

Don't even try to pretend, after the protest marches of recent weeks, that your side is above namecalling. "Bush == Hitler"? "Bush is a babykiller"? Pot, meet kettle...kettle, meet pot.
