That's not at all funny to me. My father-in-law will watch Weather channel all day long. The one time I visitted the in-laws they made no plans to do anything. I spend an entire week watching Weather channel. It still gives me nightmares.
Texas is a very bad place for auto insurance. The prices are sky high at least here in Houston. Much of the cost comes down to it being cheaper to pay the person off. Once people began to realize this it just became a feeding frenzy. I had a very minor accident in years ago. Woman slamme don her brakes in front of me and I almost avoided plowing into her with my van. I managed to barely clip the rental car she was in. Like a 4in diameter dent. I got to listen to her talk abotu how she was just returning the rental ca from her last accident. She was talking about how she was gonna get paid for this, etc. My insurance just paid. Go figure. We really need to adopt no fault insurance here. Would save us a fortune. But the insurance companies like thier high rates and thay make big "donations" to the politicians. So we the people are generally screwed.
You cannot ask to be a Neilson family. According to thier info they feel that would skew the results. So basically the only way to become a Nielson family is to be asked to be a Nielson family. Now how they come up with who they ask is another question. They sure seem to pick some losers. I'm so sick of American Idol and Survivor and such I could vomit.
I can remember more than once being at the 24hr Autozone and not being able to purchase anything cause thier system was down for cleanup. This being like midnight on a friday or such. I disticntly remember the terminals all had SCO in the text blurb on them. Maybe I was confused.. I was afer all getting car parts in the middle of the night. Crappy parts at that, considering I was at Autozone.
Soon he will return to earth alive. However he will have forgotten everything since he ascended, witht he exception of one important piece of information he decided to remind himself of.
You're both wrong. In Texas, it's always a coke, even if it is a pepsi. Not that any self respecting person would drink that tainted Pepsi crap. Coca Cola is ok. RC rocks... don;t forgety our peanuts.
Why would little plastic bags of Blue Ice be falling from a plane? They should refreeze and reuse them! Oh... you're not reffering to a brand name product are you???
This ws done years ago. My '85 Fiero GT proudly boats a complete plastic body skin. This was reintroduced by Saturn, they claimed it was a revolutionary idea. Hah. I think they were trying to get away from the bad press the Fiero got. I have heard no car burns quite like a Fiero, however I don't know about Saturns. I believe they use a difrent plastic. Also the roofs are steel if I remember correctly. And for those that think this means the car is lighter, not so. You need to see a Fiero without the skins on. They are not light cars. The other advantage is rust. I think that works against car companies. They like their new disposable cars. They want you to trade in your car before you pay it off. Everyone makes money but you.
Unfortunately the AM spectrum had to be shared with Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM. This caused majot traffic issues as people tried to remote view the path ahead. fortunately many of these accidents were avoided with time travel.
Geforce4 MX or better for TV out and Hauppauge PVR-250/350 seems to yeild best results with the best support. The tuner card will work fine with your direct cable and has an onboard MPEG-2 encoder. Nice and clean, low CPU usage to record.
You can use an external modem with your Tivo. Not sure if this works during setup. I may find out myself since I am using an external modem myself. Also you can get your modem repaired here.
Most people using MythTV are using Geforce based cards. These provide overscan ont he TV out to get rid of the black borders and with some tweaking you should get a pretty decnt fill of the screen. YMMV.
My memories are vague... but wasn't the deal you could get free members site access for sending them some german or somesuch beer? i was entertained for about a month before I realized nothign freaking ever happened. No more exciting than my life. That's just sad. heh
Lexus from scratch??? Have you seen the cost of dealer parts these days??? I wouldn;t be suprised if the cost exceeded $250k with the price thy charge for parts!
Nope.. you simply are asked to afirm that you will tell the truth. No big deal. Remember the true punishment for lying in court is possible inprisonment yourself.
Actually many people do all of the things you have listed. There are many reasons people don't fix thier own car, build thier own house or grow their own food. Not always because of lack of knowledge. I can generally fix my own car, but the one I drive now is under warranty. So I am going to let someone else fix it at no cost under warranty. I'm not yet ready to build the house I plan on retiring in. So I have a crappily built tract home. When it comes time I will at the very least very closely supervise the constuction of my house and likely do many things myself. I don't grow my own food.. but many people still have vegetable gardens. Granted.. not enough to feed them year round.. but it can still have an impact.
However, the number of people that can do all these things is diminishing. Modern society tells us we must specialize into some very narrow field of knowledge. I'm not supposed to be able to fix my car, my computer and install my kitchen sink. Business today rewards narrow minds. You are expected to fit into a very easily defined job with a very specific skillset. People with broad skills and abilities aren't necessarily rewarded.
I think that depends on the state. If I rmemeber correctly (please feel free to correct) some states require the trash to make it all the way to the curb or dumpster. I imagine it was pulled out of a trashcan in the middle of the mall.

Maybe some parts of Texas. But here by the Gulf (Houston area) we have constantly high humidity. Nobody around here has a swamp cooler.

Oh my! I can't tell you how funny this is to me! I actually work with a guy who still wears an 80s Members Only jacket! We call him "The Last Member".

Hauppauge PVR-250 or PVR-350 is gonna be a safe bet. Onboard MPEG-2 and compatible with MythTV, Freevo, SageTV and Snapstream.

Wasn't the original Stargate destroyed and the second one currently in use?

If you only want the box for MythTV then give Knoppmyth a try.

MythTV, Sage TV, and SnapStream all support using a serial cable or IR blaster to change the channel on a digital cable/DTV box.

I must have been taught wrong. To me you descibted a republic and called it a democracy.

Actually the founder of the American Atheists did just that. Check it out here: http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/igwt1.htm
