I can still vivdly recall a few years ago when a tornado touched down nearby. We knew about it, and by golly, we were standing outside watching it and my mom was recording it with the video camera.
You're the guy without a shirt I keep seeing on Cops, right?
Oh suck it, you paranoid douche. If I didn't want them to know what I watched, I'd make the TiVo to stop sending my data. It's not like I'm typing my most perverse masturbation fantasies into the wish list, hoping that something cool will appear.
I *want* them to know what I watched. I want them to know that I never watch Fear Factor, Good Morning America, Regis and whoever-the-fuck, reality shows, or any show with "Law and Order" or "CSI" in the title. I want them to know that when American Idol is on, I'm not watching or recording it. I want them to know that I don't give a rat's ass about Leno *or* Conan. I want them to get into their thick heads that western movies gobble donkey balls and my wife and I would rather rather watch hideous jewelry wobble around on a turntable on the Gemstone Shopping Network while we shout "eeeew!" than watch John Wayne swagger around.
I want them to know that I never watch television news unless something's blowing up the fuck up right now, in which case I'll watch CNN. I want them to know that my wife thinks Iron Chef is better than Emeril, movies with Cary Grant are better than movies with John Wayne, and Wanda Sykes does great standup, but she sucks in any other format.
I want them to scan my wish list and get those movies on the air. Right now. I want them to know that I still have a season pass set for Jonathan Creek, because it was a goddamned good program and I hope they bring it back. The same goes for Family Guy. (Yes, they're bringing it back, but knowing Fox, they'll again put it in the redheaded-stepchild time slot on Sundays, the one that starts when the football game still has two minutes of game time (translation: 1 hour of real time), no one will watch, and they'll kill it again.)
So you can go suck it, TinfoilBoy. I want my opinion heard.
Nielsen plans to distribute paper diaries among the households that use digital video recorder.
I got a call from the Nielsen survey guy this morning (who in hell calls at 9:07 on a Saturday morning?) asking if we wanted to take part in the DVR survey. He specifically told me that with the DirecTivo, other than signing the permission for them to monitor the shows I watched/recorded, we wouldn't have to do anything.
With luck, this will result in better data than last time. Last year we were asked to fill out a paper diary, but my wife was hogging the television all week watching the baseball playoffs, so that skewed the results.
I liked my Palm since 1997, but only used it for the most basic things, primarily to look up addresses, appointments, and simple lists. Now that the iPod can do most of what I used my Palm for, I just carry that. Costs less too.
Actually, you're not. The ugly American of the book was a good guy, an engineer (and his wife) who did things well and people independently decided to follow their ideas. He and his wife made friends and spread goodwill wherever they went.
You're more like the classic red state population of the 2000 election. They think they're independent tough guys, but they receive more money in federal handouts than they put in. Federal welfare queens.
Not a chance. At least one person has already been charged with a crime for this sort of nonsense.
This warning, combined with probable violations of Ohio computing policies by a programmer (who sure as hell ought to know better), would make calling the guy a dumbass entirely reasonable.
For instance, the agency has modified basic maps of the nation's capital to highlight the location of hospitals, linking them to data on the number of beds or the burn unit in each
Obviously my mad Photoshop and HTML image map skillz are needed by our government. Later, RazorFish!
Actually it's really a $200 tax stamp, not a license, and it is required for full-auto firearms as well as silencers. However, your state may have additional laws that forbid certain models of weapon.
Realistically, though, full auto weapons aren't worth a shit for home defense. First of all, it takes a hell of a lot of skill to keep something as short as a three-round burst on target. If you don't believe me, go to a machine gun shoot in your area and try it.
Second, as a civilian, you're responsible for and will be grilled at length for every shot. When you consider that every round you fire has the potential to send you to prison and/or bankruptcy court, you really don't want to fire off unnecessary rounds around your neighborhood.
Don't get me wrong, the military of various countries spend a hell of a lot of money designing excellent firearms. However, the semi-auto versions are enough for home defense.
Actually, Duke is also popular because in 1996 they were a hotbed for the deconstructionist/post-modernist cultural movement with their journal Social Text, until Alan Sokal, a physicist at New York University, submitted a deliberately pseudoscientific paper and they published it.
On the same day the volume of Social Text with his article came out, Sokal announced in another journal, Lingua Franca, that the article had, in fact, been a hoax, making Duke look like a bunch of idiots.
Use the comment field to add you own "mood" tags. Then (at least in iTunes) you can create a smart playlist that incorporates the comment as well as the genre tags. I suppose you can use the same strategy in other players as well.
Democrats kept protestors in a cage called the "Free-Speech Zone" during the DNC. The RNC isn't limiting free speech to a cage.
Actually, the cage (which I agree, was complete bullshit) was for protesters who wanted to be right next to the Fleet Center. I took a walk through there on Wednesday morning, and aside from the banners hung on the walls, the only person protesting was a guy yelling into a microphone that there wasn't enough Jesus in our government, we were all going to Hell, and it was all the fault of the Jews.
There were protesters freely gathered on the Common, playing music, chanting and selling stuff, as well a cool demonstration of how to turn a VW to run on biodiesel. Mind you, there weren't many people there.
My take on the subject is that while lots of those folks prefer Nader or one of that crowd to win, they see that Kerry is a more realistic option this time. The results of Nader votes in 2000 did a lot to kill "I'll vote for who is I think is best in a vacuum, rather than settle for who's best realistically" thinking.

I recall there was also a project that had some ki[n]d of one-button Instant Messenger in a teddy bear.
Wouldn't that be a CareBearBot?
He looks okay, but I think he's a little too fond of scat. And I don't mean Ella Fitzgerald.

Moderation: +1: Historical perspective
Okay, how about "Every year the Red Sox with the World Series in a presidential election year the Democrat candidate wins."
So far: 1912, 1916.
"Just another case of a geek trying to imitate the popular people and failing miserably."
Spider plant is a heavy breather.
Now I know who's been making those phone calls.
If you actually had a clue as to what it took to put out a commercial grade album these days, you wouldn't be so harsh on the labels.
One lousy dance track sandwiched between 14 tracks of filler, a bottle blonde bimbo, and a bunch of payola?
I'm going to stop global warming by keeping the world cold in Omaha Steaks styrofoam boxes!
What these guys have created is a way to discharge a small battery more quickly.
Excellent! My new Dell laptop is unstoppabl

I think both of those guys modeling should have spent the $400 on a dentist instead.
+1: Correct inclusion of modifier with "quality"

There are a lot of bands that have MP3s on their sites. Ya see, they want people to try their music, like it, and go see them live.

And just how fucking much did Microsoft pay for that one, hmmm?
