As someone who only has TV for those shows, I can vouch for someone out here caring. However, considering that most of the mainstream offal is just so much piffle to me...well, I may not be Joe Public.
I'll try harder. I'll go see what's on Spike and get back to you.
I got mine cheap from COMP-OOSA some time ago. What a champ. Super durable, lots of pockets, looks like I just bought and it's been through bikerides, motorcycle rides, and a thesis.
How John Kerry could make Shrub look Stupid and win the female vote, all with a Diet Coke...
(Kerry steps to the podium, tranquilizers eating away at the patrician's stiffness...he's feeling good. He looks out on the crowd and gets higher. He begins to speak...)
My fellow Americans, we were sent to Iraq because George Bush was sure that Saddam Hussein was going to use aluminum tubes to go nucular on us. Our best national security advisors were...(incredulous...err, no, no)...DARN SURE they didn't have any nukes, let alone aluminum tubes that would magically make them some. Now I've got an aluminum tube right here (raises diet coke), and the only thing magically nucular about it is the taste (cracks, sips, and wins). Coek is happy. Kerry wins. America prospers. Goddam fucking stupid moron out of white house.
Hi. I'm real, real sorry to take your time. I mean, if you don't have time, I understand, and, after all, I don't want to sound like a corporate gnome ]:-):))). I know you're a real nice hacker, not one of those Russion mob nut-jobs...ah, oops, didn't mean to call names! Anyway, I was just wondering if, if it's not too much trouble, if you could not hack me. I understand that you are a person and have needs, but, and if this bothers you and I sound like a gnome, just let me know(!:):O:>>), I was wondering if you would help a brother out. Thanks, and if this offends you in any way, please send it back to me and, as you can, guess, I will certainly roll it up and put where any spineless dork might. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. You are too kind. Thank you.
Sincerely,

How f-ing useful are these, anyway? I've been a gadget aficionado (spelled g-e-e-k) for most of my life, but I've never been more than mildly amused at these toys (and the user is usually the real soure of amusement). Please illustrate to me what is particularly intriguing about these. From what I've gleaned, they're fairly small and, of course, (gag mode on standby) cute. Yet, they have no FM tuner, few options to change, weak displays, break-me-open batteries, WEIRD buttons (so chic, so cool, so what), etc. And they come in colors. Right. So why in the world are they so popular? (Are there any GOOD reasons?)
This is wonderful. Do you all reamember the scene from Robocop 2 with the brain/eyes/spinal cord of the lead baddie being prepped to be inserted into the drug-addicted super-robot?
Imagine that you didn't have to use the brain/eyes/etc. at all. You just uploaded the consciousness. Fountain of youth, unnecessary.
I've had a DirecTV DVR for about a year now and have never lost a signal through multiple windstorms, heavy rain, etc. On top of that, I live in the rainy northwest...
It's interesting how the Matrix allows us to look at our own lives form different angles. This second episode presents some interesting points, including whether how you live your life is more important than facing certain realities or the same question presented as whether peace is more valuable than struggle. Also, it's interesting to finally see some of the "cyberpunk" sorts of machine-man biomimicry finally make its way into the mainstream without being on a sci-fi "cyborg" basis. Implants, anyone?:)

By the way...the number of hacked xboxes surely runs into the thousands, if not more, and there are already enough robust applications to make it a full-fledged media device.
I was checking out Sirius on their website www.siriusradio.com and I am pretty sure I am going to ditch XM. I listened to every STREAMING channel FREE and it was so easy to find something worth listening to. After listening, I can only give XM an advantage in these areas: 1, they tolerate more foul/real language; 2, they have a bit more of the indie scene in rap/alternative rock; and 3, they use more 'imagination', though to no end, since for me it just added to the chaos. Choose wisely.
Okay, so I have an Alpine XM unit on a CDA-7878. First off, it is incredibly entertaining. You WON'T always find what you are looking for, but you will find something and it doesn't suck like FM programming. On the other hand, XM has a lot of problems. First off, the compression screws with the music a little; enough to be noticed, but probably not enough to matter to most. Second, there is a focus on music and not on content, necessariyl, which manifests itself in three ways: 1, the commercials for the stations are long and goofy/magoo/stupid; 2, the deejays are loud, obnoxious, and just as stupid as fm deejays most of the time; 3, the talk radio that is there is nice, but where is NPR/PRI that Sirius has? In reality, if you get this, you will probably listen to, maybe, five channels, regularly. I am starting to get fed up with the track that XM has taken. I see no more intelligence than the market research dictates there must be. Something for everyone it is not...quite. However, I like the idea of sat radio enough to, maybe, give Sirius a try if I ditch the XM. XM has certainly made the idea of no commercials worth the extra $3. I REALLY don't think they should have enlisted such an aged fellow to lead XM.

You've stolen a grad student's idea. So you must be marginally clever.
And you've bested the inner ear. So you must scoff at practicality.
But if you think you can best my for a flying car, you're dreaming Kamen. DREAMING!
Ride your little Cen-Taur. Have your TAR-TAR sauce!

And f**k you for the flamebait rating. They're all valid comments, Mac-f**ker.

Oh, my brother, indeed not.

Very good question. Anyone give an answer, as I imagine a lot of us would like to know. Those USB ports are practically useless.
...so all those pixels become cubes...whatever.
Chocolate is dark, like the universe.
Chocolate is semi-soft, like the universe.
Chocolate is an emulsion, like the universe.
Chocolate is good...and evil, like the universe.
Chocolate may be going into or coming out of a black hole, like the universe (I had to).
So, inevitably, this bean is, indeed, a universe unto itself.
That's not how it works. You can't just "generate all possible sequences of machine ID's." (that's Hollywood hacking)
You have to have the contents of an EEPROM to mimic another machine.
The customer should NOT be held liable for use they did not incur.
When your credit card number is stolen, are you liable for more than $50? Sometimes not even that much.
There is little difference between this and the invasion of privacy that is an e-mail virus.

JEEEEEZ. I figured you noobs could take a moment to peruse the sites I listed there to figure it out.

Yay for San Francisco.
What a DUMB invention considering all of the hype. Blech.
Give me something cool, Mr. Kamen, not pet-names and untimely press-releases for stolen ideas.

Try an XBOX. Works for me until the Linux Media Center version comes out :P.
