Even if you don't live in one of the many areas where there are multiple providers, you can still choose to use over-the-air broadcasts or one of the satellite providers. No, I can't. The mountains block the broadcast signals, and the forest blocks the satellite signal.
Well that's nice, but I know a lot of rural areas that still don't have access to any cable at all. And depending on what side of the hill they are on, some don't even have a "clear view of the southern sky" either. Basically, over the air TV is the only option.
Well, I myself live in a rural area where we have one cable provider, don't have a clear view of the southern sky, and have no "over the air TV" option. On a good day I might be able to pick up channels 2,4, and 5.
"I am old enough to remember when everybody railed about global cooling (about 30 years ago)."
And I am old enough to call bull on your pseudo memories.
And the second paragraph of that says he's right. If "everybody" is taken figuratively, it refers to the "popular press," not scientific literature that is read by almost no one.
The first Earth Day was a warning that we were on the brink of a new ice age. Everyone he heard from, and everyone most people heard from, believed that then.
We have been sending out signals, albeit involuntarily, using Radio and TV.
For about 100 years, and we're phasing them out. That gives another civilization a small window of opportunity for any detection efforts.
Further, the frequencies we're monitoring are ones we don't use for such things. We use the TV and radio frequencies we use because they work better than the others, so it stands to reason that those are the ones that would be used. That makes our own efforts just about useless.
You can go to your favorite online shop and buy a new DVR that has no subscription service and no telephone calls to make, yes.
I've a box (haven't the brand name in mind now) with a good size hard drive and a built-in DVD-RW (or is it +RW?) that pulls listings off the cable and offers manually scheduled recording in addition to automatic recording.
It does NOT do HDTV, it has only one tuner, and frequently needs to be left turned off at night to get updated listings. It also won't tune to channels above 99. Looking through the listings is slow, and it sometimes takes a couple minutes to do "something" when I turn it on.
It doesn't inteface with my PC in any way, and I managed to lock it up a few weeks back by recording a channel (in 12-hour blocks) for five days straight and watching everything it recorded whenever I was awake (it does have a 30s+ skip function and will play at about double speed with sound). Had to unplug it to get it working again.
The only way to disrupt card-counting (unless you have an infinitely large casino with room for an infinite number of cards; but then, you'd have no room for any players to sit at the card table -- even if you had an infinite number of seats, they would all be full of nothing but stacks of cards) Having an infinite space full of cards does not prevent you from having an additional infinite space full of players.
There is infinite space on this side of the Sun out to forever, and similarly infinite space on the other side. There are infinite integers above zero, and infinite integers below zero.

I'm in the minority because I like the Bush administration Now don't think that way, there are plenty of naive people all throughout America. Hence his contention that he's in the minority, yes.
I don't particularly like him, but prefer him to either Algore or John "changing my middle initial to F." Kerry.

The china in my mother's cupboard was closer, and wasn't threatened.
Anyway, a hole through the center of the Earth from New Jersey comes out WSW of Australia.
While a Martian day is different than an Earth day, there is no Martian hour to be differentiated from by an "Earth hour."

All words are "made up."
"Inculcate" was made up in the 1500's.
Not to be taken as defense of anyone's opinions.
