There is a timesaving trick that avoids this palarver entirely but produces an almost identical product. Simply empty out the keg and piss into it until full. Carbonate as required. Then go down the pub for a pint of bitter. Job done.
Excessive advertising, preemption, channel logos, scrolling text, animated advertising for other programs over the program you're watching, censorious cutting of language and action, overly loud "compressed sound" adverts, you favorite show going into repeats just when it's getting interesting, your favorite show getting cancelled just when it's getting interesting, reality TV all for on the order of $40 per month.
Who wants all that crap?
Sit down at a computer and get what you want, how you want it, when you want it and for as long as you like.

Are you really training the users in what you think you're training the users in?
Seems like you're training them that if, when an icon appears on the desktop, that rather than just getting on and dealing with it, if they react with confusion and mass hysteria, they get a day off from their regular job for cushy training.
Unless the tunings are made up on the fly, it is still a science. The creation of the various tunings was an art but now that the parameters are know, defined and standardised, matching an instrument to them is a science.
Yes, it will certainly do that. If it has detected IR activity recently, it will not attempt to change channel for suggestions. Perhaps you have an IR noise source nearby? A Furby perhaps (don't the communicate by IR?) or a PDA or PC with IR auto-detect.
I did have a period where my Tivo wasn't recording suggestions. I had sat & antenna set up and then got rid of the sat. Instead of changing to just an antenna set up, I just told the Tivo that I wasn't receiving the sat channels anymore. The sugegstions only statred recording again when I went to a purely antenan set up. My guess was that the Tivo was calculating suggestions, finding them in my sat lineup, finding I didn't have the channel then not looking for them in my antenna lineup.
Is in bits in the cupboard. It does't take well to being dropped onto hardwood floors several times. It seems that the clips that hold it together didn't receive as much design attention as the layout and they snap off really easily. Somewhat unfortunate when you have a toddler. You can only reglue it so many times...
I tried a Magnavox 3-in-1 remote to replace it but the buttons were all labelled wrongly and it was a pain to use for anything but the basic functions. *Finally* I found a "one for all" remote that has all the buttons correct and is sensible laid out. It even ahs a "PVR menu" button (though I do miss the little Tivo guy). Now I am back in Tivo heaven.
By the way, any Tivo owners out there have any good weay of dealing with certain shows ("Law and Order) which are now setting their start times one minute early, meaning that they clash with the show that runs an hour before on a different channel?
Of course, that would have been surprising until the mid 90s when many found they could create a business with no business plan and receive millions in VC funding.
This actualyl leads to some intriguing possibilities. Perhaps politicians might start having this arrangement of dots present on those boards they are so fond of standing in front of these days to prevent later photoshopping of their images.
I also considered setting up some merchandise with this pattern of dots on at somewhere like cafepress.com. Imagine if someone couldn't scan or edit a picture because of the t-shirt you were wearing or a mug left surrepticiously sitting around.
Yeah, I should have made it clear that I wasn't saying that you couldn't get energy from temperature differentials or currents or other orthogonal processes, just not from the pressure differentials.

Wrong!
As long as there is one programmer using and working on Linux, it will never be in the "failing" category.
Your mistake is to judge Linux (and OSS) by your criteria for success rather than that of those who created it.

Hey, that's a great slogan for open source software
"Windows doesn't like you!"
It's good because everytime windows craps up again, it will be a reinforcement of the implanted idea.
