Lomborg is the only serious counter-claimaint that I am aware of.
Nice. Similarly, the electronic voting machine folks have "never detected an undetected error in our electronically stored ballots or our vote tallies." I don't think you understand the point of the study, Hemos.
But alas, it's not about life, it's about oil because we use the most of it.
I think you may be the last of the wingnuts still pretending this ever had *anything* to do with oil. So where's all this cheap oil? I mean that was the point of this whole war, right? Surely they didn't forget about it.
Where are all those hurricanes we were going to have this year because of global warming?!
No kidding. That crap was all over the media last year. Every single hurricane story on the news last year had some blurb about a speculated link to global warming.
More hurricanes than usual? Global warming. Less hurricanes than usual? Hmmm - probably global warming too. *sigh*
I've got a Series 1 TiVo and I'm really starting to itch for some dual tuner action (without dropping $16/month in subscriber dues). My only concern with Myth is the guide data. Where do you get the guide data for Myth and is it accurate and up to date? Any URLs?
It's my understanding that about half of a given movie's earnings are from theater sales. If that's the case, releasing on DVD simultaneously is going to seriously cut into ticket sales (and hence movie profits). Guess what has to happen then - DVD prices have to go up to make up the difference.
I think I'd rather wait and buy a cheap DVD than pay twice as much for the disc just so I can have it a few months earlier.
Never had a tivo, I refuse to pay the outrageous monthly fee.
As a TiVo owner I have to take issue with this comment. (I know. What a surprise...:-)
The lifetime subscription fee for a TiVo is $300. How much configuration time did your Myth box take? I think it would be safe to say that over the lifetime of your Myth box you'll invest well over 16 hours of your time configuring it. $300 / 16 hours means that your time is worth less than $19 per hour.
The bottom line is that you *currently* cannot build a MythTV box that can compete with a TiVo + lifetime subscription unless you consider your time spent building and configuring it to be "free".
Now, maybe you enjoy building a Myth box and maybe you do value your time doing so at zero dollars per hour. Lord knows I could have bought a Media Center PC a long time ago with all the hours I've spent dicking around with XBMP/XBMC, but most people can't and won't want to do that. Hell, I still have to go to family members' houses to hook up their DVD players. I can't imagine telling my mother to "just build yourself a MythTV box, Mom."
My point is that maybe TiVo's subscription fee isn't quite so outrageous after all.
What is with all this social networking crap? Egads. The only technological phenomenon more annoying than blogorrhea (and Mac fans) is this recent notion that everything I do online should be intimately shareable with everyone I know. Hello? If I wanted social interaction, I'd go hang out with people instead of huddling in a dimly lit corner of my basement staring bleary-eyed at the cold, pale glow of my CRT.
Come on people. Am I the only one who still does shit alone on the Internet? </troll>
And yes, I too appreciate the irony of spurting antisocial rants on a community web site.

What excellent news! I'm sure the world's IP supercreators won't mind. But what's this I see on their webcam?

you'd have to keep your warmth in or you would melt through the surface (which is 'rocks' made up of water ice).
Man, just imagine the global warming FUD you'd have to put up with in a Titanese colony...
[So long karma.]

Uh, he's the founder of the "KEG Party".
That was a close one - that joke almost took your head off.
I can't tell you which job to take, but I hope your resume doesn't list decisiveness as one of your strengths.

We recieve TV over the air, and even when reception is good, there's often errors in the stream. "To be or not to be, that is the &%%*&%*^(*"
That wasn't an error, that's really what Hamlet said. He was troubled you know...
I once made a hat out of a stick and a lobster. It was very itchy.
Ok - that is funny.
I like the cut of your jib.
I thought it was a nipple. Eh - I guess you see want you want to.
Ha fools - they should have done this a few weeks ago and earned themselves $12,000. :-)
Blockbuster sucks, they 'settled' their class action lawsuit for overcharging for late fees by offering about 3-4 free rentals as payment.
I'll bet the law firm that represented the plaintiffs wasn't paid in free rentals...
and all it took was twelve years of overwhelming scientific consensus
I wonder if the decades-long global cooling scare had anything to do with this...

Hey - that's my motto too.
Where are my mod points when I need them?
Weak sauce. I've been doing this with the gunk that falls out of my keyboard for years.
I've started using dollar bills as bookmarks. Turns out it's cheaper than buying a book mark these days.
Uh, I will sell you a shitload of plain, white bookmarks for $0.50 a piece. Sizes up to 8.5 x 11 inches available.

I still refuse to buy French products 10 years after the nuclear testing in Mururoa Atoll.
;-)
Oh the misery! How do manage to live a normal life without buying French products?

Dude... You just blew my mind...
