    A Tivo for the Internet is about as useful as the above. Use your browser cache, IM history, email storage options, etc.

    The day my mom mentions using bittorrent, I'm going to shed a tear in joy. She's barely email-capable now, that kinda change would be like a paradigm shift without a clutch!

    Yes, but everybody else probably realises that downloading TV shows via bittorrent is theft, no different than stealing someones purse on the street, do you do that as well?

    Bah, humbug.

    In a regular purse-snatching, you get to have a purse, the wallet within with the pention money, a set of dentures and some arthritis medications and of course you get to leave the old lady in tears on the sidewalk (bonus points for knocking the walker over). In the bittorrent "purse snatching" you get no such benefits. You get the purse and for some strange reason the lady gets to keep it too. Where is the fun for us villanious thieves in this?
