ReplayTV May Drop "Commercial Advance"

An anonymous reader writes "Wired News is reporting that the new owners of ReplayTV are considering dropping the Commercial Advance and Send Show options features." I had bad luck with that function chopping out bits of show anyway. Between that and the 30 second skip function, I'm surprised ReplayTV has lasted this long!

    I asked a geek "Do you have a girlfriend?". He responded with a very puzzled look. "A girlfriend?," he mused, "Who is the developer?". I chuckled and told him this was not an open source project. He then became slightly angry and told me "Are you trying to insult me? Only the best geeks use open source only!". I reassured him I was well aware of his integrity of a geek (white skin, clumsy, pants that are too short, lack of daily shower, etc), but a girlfriend was a female who one to a male (most oftenly a male) has an intimat friendship with. He gave me a very confused look. "I have never heard of such a thing.. this.. g-g-irlfriend?" He asked me, sound very baffled. "I have heard of friends before, those pets other people have. But what is this thing you say.. Girl?" I asked him to sit down on a bench nearby so I could explain it too him, the poor, helpless thing. I told him that for human beings to reproduce, sexual intercourse must occur between a male and a female. "Perhaps you hear the trolls mention a thing called "pussy" on slashdot?". The geek burst into laughter, "Haha, you have been browsing at -1 lately, haven't you? You know that is just Troll talk. Those silly trolls never have anything intelligent to say." My face turned serious. "My dear geek, are you not aware of the female population amongst you? Do you not stare in the street when you pass by a hot, slim, gorgeous looking chick with a firm bust and well sculpted ass?". The geek immediately began to appear as if we was having a nervous breakdown. His glasses began to fog up and he took them off to wipe them with this linux embroidered shirt, "I think I know what you are talking about. Those things are icky. They have cooties. Get away from me!" I felt offended. "Nonsense, I pleaded! Pussy is a beautiful thing. A sacred thing." The geek would not listen and he began to cry. "STOP IT!! You are EVIL!!" He then skipped off. I walked back to my house quite sad. Why don't they listen to me I asked myself? When I got home my girlfriend opened the door. She was wearing short-shorts and a sports bra. She had been doing the thigh master for the past 30 minutes and was sweating. I could see her dark nipples underneath her slightly damp bra. Oh god I could fuck her to the moon and back. I could smell her horniness the second I took my shoes off. I chased her, both of us laughing, to our bedroom [THE FOLLOWING has been censored for the well-being of Geeks].... Six hours later, finally satisfied a little, I sat up and noticed that same Geek hiding in the trees. He had been watchings us the entire time. I swear his penis had to have been the size of a fucking horse cock. I thought to myself. There is one geek, finally brought into the real world.

    Why would Microsoft go from being in an easy business to being in a hard business? I think the right answer is that they know the easy business is doomed.

    Shows the lack of perception of the open sourcerers, eh? There is some kind of notion in the fellow's logic that says Microsoft is getting out of the "easy business", but that is not the case. Microsoft is adding the .NET services business to the rest.

    Mr. Raymond better stick to copying Solaris and weilding the LDA and STA! As a financial analyst, he's always out to lunch!

    what would NOT be surprising would be seeing father william's megalomaniacal cowardice overwhelm him to the poiNT of trying to preveNT genuine public opinion from being known.

    Here is a professionally executed, properly designed, and neutrally executed survey of the genuine public and you want to dismiss it because it doesn't support your silly position! I'd have to laugh if your spamming wasn't so annoying!

    BTW, what has Ramond and Stallings and Torvalds done for the world lately? It seems to me that all the hot stuff in linux is just making it work like Windows. That doesn't seem to be necessary, since we've got such a fine version of Windows already and don't really need another one! --
