    With the body of content that is being released, I guarantee that solutions will emerge. There will be apps developed specifically to act as BBC-VCRs, I'm sure.

    Your question answers itself. Why would they make it available if nobody can view it? They wouldn't. Logically, since they've said they'll release it, it will be viewable.

    You are a FUCKING MORON.

    They are offering up TERABYTES of some of the best TV in history, and you're whining about FORMAT!?

    Mod me to hell, but that's asinine. The only appropriate response to the BBC is THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!

    Why not put up or shut up? Because they don't have to, and you can't make them. They've ALREADY WON. Their stock price is climbing, and they're getting tons of exposure.

    I hate what they are doing, but from their perspective, it's their only play for survival.

    Want to make this never happen again? Abolish the stock market. Come up with another model for generating capital. I'm all for it...I think the stock market is the beginning and the end of all financial problems in the United States.

    Yes, and Boy Scouts are, by definition, not of consenting age. So, the organization selects against people who have an avowed sexual interest in that gender.

    You might note that women are not permitted to be Scoutmasters, either.

    There are in fact legal arguments against homosexuality, but they are totally backwards and should be destroyed immediately. However, private organizations (Boy Scouts, country clubs, whoever) should retain absolute control over their membership and their leadership.

    Should there be an organization for young people led by homosexual individuals? I don't see any problem with that. But, the Boy Scouts have chosen not to go this route, as is their (collective) right.

    If the poster does not differentiate between a group that feels that a certain lifestyle choice is not in keeping with their values, and a group that has a hundred-year legacy of blood, pain, and death, the poster is a SOCIOPATH.

    Seems like you could just enter into a legal contract if you want to protect yourself should your co-habitation arrangement go awry.

    I'm just trying to figure out why so many people get so upset about how many penises and/or vaginas are involved in the transaction.

    I'm not trying to argue whether or not the State should be involved in such arrangements (me, I'd say "no", but that's just me). I certainly am arguing that the State should have nothing whatsoever to do with "covenants of sanctity".

    Let me pick one nit.

    If marriage is a covenant of sanctity, what the HELL does the state have to do with it?

    Me, I'd be much more in favor of destroying the tax laws re: marriage, and make it nothing more than a covenant between two people, so that gay marriages won't any longer be something that politiicans get to talk about.

    Too bad you're a Republican, not a conservative.

    I'm not. Duh. I do, however, know more about rocketry and aviation than most humans. I wouldn't call myself an expert on all things that fly, but I could explain to you in detail how to compute the fuel consumption for a rocket motor. I won't, though, because you're trolling me.

    If you can develop a rocket engine that will drive you at "a couple of machs" for, say, two hours, and will fit in SS1's airframe, I'd wager you could make a very large amount of money.
