I agree.
To all the complainers: What kind of nerds are you to complain about additional functionality?
"In 1985, while working at Honeywellâ(TM)s Physical Sciences Center, David Rafner first described a drive-based DVR designed for home TV recording, time-slipping, and skipping commercials. U.S. Patent 4,972,396 focused on a multi-channel design to allow simultaneous independent recording and playback. Broadly anticipating future DVR developments, it describes possible applications such as streaming compression, editing, captioning, multi-channel security monitoring, military sensor platforms, and remotely piloted vehicles."
Seems to me that you are an intellectual elitist snob. Intelligence is a characteristic just like strength or beauty or good health, just because someone does not measure up to your standard in a particular characteristic does not mean that person should be discounted. Loyalty, temperance, persistence, courage and social conscience are better measures of character than intelligence.

You are comparing public services which perform on a not-for-profit basic and private organizations which do not. Besides, you can borrow music at the library, if they do not have something that you want ask for it. Another thing is that there is inherently little useful knowledge stored in the music medium as opposed to books, museum exhibits and education....
The same thing happened to me. I also want to point out that NebuAd used a similar opt-out system. My ISP (WOW Cable) was using NebuAd for a period of time and you had to go to the NebuAd site in order to get an "opt-out" cookie.
The military does the same thing for all essential passwords, key codes, lock combinations and physical keys. Though, instead of keys we used multi-combination safes (with adjustable combinations) with two people each having combos and one officer/manager that opens the relevant sealed envelope with the others as witnesses.
"AmeriKa" was also a TV miniseries from 1987. From IMDB: America has been bloodlessly taken over by the Soviet Union, leading to slave-labor camps for some, collaboration for others and rebellion for yet others.
The slur indicates an concept of the USA that is under the control of an outside faction and that this outside faction is running the US in a manner that does not comply with the idealized how's and why's of what Americanism is.
It's basically a cold war slur used typically against socialists.
I think too many people are confusing the concept of legal marriage which is basically a communing of resources most likely under the precept of having and raising children, with their own personal concept of religious marriage combined with western romanticism, for thousands of years people have married for a variety of purposes, most of them having little to do with love.
It just so happens that most of us here on/. live in a society that allows for both sexes to make their own way and therefore gives most us the luxury of choosing our "life-mate" based on whether we like them or not.
As opposed to: whoever can pay the most in dowry or to unify two families for the purpose of business or for the purpose of politics.

Don't you mean:
Because base-10 is soooo 11101101100 to 11111001111s.
I have the MS Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 and use rechargeable Energizer 2500mAh NiMH and they last me 3-5 months of 8-12 hour a day usage.

If you don't like a function disable it.
It's like reading my own story....
No, it was Dell:

Tivo did not invent the DVR, they where in use for military and security long before an inexpensive consumer version arrived to the market.

I live in a large house alone and spend most of my time in 1 room.
I keep the central heating down to 67 deg. F and my computer room will remain a balmy 76 deg. F.
Maybe I should get out more....
That opens up the possibility of Pr0n data collision.
There is a whole wiki page on Solid State HDs:

There is a SATA one by gigabyte for example:

Newegg has a wide variety of them available, bit pricey for me 'tho:

What about those who laugh at themselves?

Just because we do not currently have the technology to detect another's actions, does not mean that it didn't happen that way.

THANK you so much for the 31 places of accuracy i would have been really curious about that thank you again
I'm glad you found it entertaining to count them.

So you're saying MLMs (Multi-level Marketing) sells people goods, those people turn to MLMs (Mail List Managers) to spam as advertising.

These stories show how bad Slashdot has gotten. The thought of keeping little kids off of porn sickens the average Slashdotter?
Absolutely pathetic excuses for humans.
Here's an AC who stands by their convictions... ohh, wait....

Per wiki this is the source for the political slur:

It depends on what direction the contestants are pissing and what direction the wind is currently blowing.
I find mediamonkey to do just fine.
