    "I want my MythTV"

    I have it set up and it rocks! We use it everyday. My kids can watch whatever "Dora the Explorer" or "Blues Clues" recorded since December of last year.

    The "mythweb" is quite nice. I can pick what to record from work!

    I want to second that.... That Tucker store sucks. Never have rebate coupons, service is terrible... I hope they go down!

  4. Re:1984 on What Privacy? UK DNA Database Could Grow Fast · · Score: 1
    This was my first and immediate thought upon reading this article.

    When I read 1984 in High School, it really bothered me and still does. Perhaps it would do some good to make this required reading for all adults as well.

    George Orwell, being british, I am sure is laughing in his grave and thinking he missed it by only a couple decades.

    I for one find this to be extremely scary especially in conjunction with the video survellience cameras already found throughout the UK.

    What will be done with that DNA data next? Behavior prediction? Watch lists based upon a predisposition toward abherent behavior? Scary.
