Man, I really missed Paradox until I realized what Perl and CGI::Application can pull off...

RIGHT! Dead on. HOWEVER, this solution gives me something I don't have with Tivo. CONTROL.
I've got a new daughter, and she WON'T be getting direct access to media. She can pick something off the menu, thank you. And *I* will be putting things ON the menu... ( As opposed to surfing a sea of crap, intercut with commercials and promotions for more shows in the sea of crap... )
This DIY project, although more expensive than a pnp solution, gives you back control of the media.
1) It conditions people to permit people without lawful authority to submit to their arbitrary demands.
2) It takes a whole lot of people off unemployment and gives them "Productive Jobs". Small Government My Hairy White Ass...
3) The Assholes mentioned above get an opportunity to get off fucking with people they resent. (Cause they didn't go from unemployed to some shitty-ass job standing around PRETENDING... They know they're PRETENDING. Why do you think they're pissed.
We'll THEY'RE not going to Disneyworld, so why shouln't you need to jump through some hoops to make their day a little more interesting?
Well, it's not so simple anymore... It's like the EVIL FUCKS SET IT UP THAT WAY ON PURPOSE...

That being said...
All that *may* be true, but wouldn't it be worth your time someday to actually read up on the laws and legal procedure, and BURN THE MOTHERFUCKERS,
Lawfully.
For instance, I once did a whole shitload of research into New York State law (I'm a New Yorker) regarding admissions to public events, and limitations that can be imposed.
(O.K., so it *was* just after ClearChannel invaded, and turned a nice park-like venue into a prison camp.)
I spent some time doing research.
I'm not going to bore you with them, CAUSE YOU NEED TO DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK BEFORE DOING SHIT LIKE THIS. If you're not 100% *SURE* you got ALL the details right, you're gonna get reamed right back.
I wanted to know WHAT LAW permitted them to inspect my belongings. ( In a Federal Venue, it's like 'Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law', and 'Conspiracy to...', in New York, it's something else, somewhere else. )
I waltzed right on up to the ticket taker, asked the Magic Questions, and Escalated to the Next Color Shirt.
Non-confrontational. For Future Reference, keep in mind, you're TRYING to get clarification on an ambiguous aspect of the Law, and how it affects you. If CRIMES are discovered, well, we all have our duties, don't we?
As I'm talking to two of the LEVEL-2-GOONS, a nicely dressed guy comes up and asks "What's going on?"
I ask him, (nicely, remember, I'm *trying* to obtain DATA, not cause all sortsa shit...;) his name, does he have a card. Yup, his name is Jsomething, and here's a card.
I tried not to laugh too much when it said ClearChannel Entertainment Executive Director.
I ask the Magic Questions, and he was also unable to tell me what LAW permitted them to look in my daypack, and since I wouldn't permit them to inspect it while it was unclear if it was unlawful, we were at an imp-arse.
I returned daypack to my car, and entered the show.
Now, it took a few weeks, and a little more learning about the Judicial Infrastructure, to get all the paperwork filed, but eventually, ClearChannel's Executive Director was summoned to the Court to explain himself. (Wish I was there to see his face when the Police Officer showed up with the Summons. Maybe they just called and said "Have your mouthpiece call our DA"...)
Although the Ass. DA "declined to prosecute" for vague, unclear reasons (From a Legal Reasoning POV -- I know *why* he dropped the ball... *I* wouldn't want to run with that one, if *I* were an ADA wanting to be DA one day. Do you know who controls the Billboards in this town?), and no one spend time in prison, One of $THE_UNACCOUNTABLE needed to spend a weekend worrying about whether their lawyer could GET THE CHARGES DROPPED. Maybe he's a little bit insecure about his position there, and he wonders if someone would use this as an excuse to hang him out, and can him... Who knows, but we can dream, can't we?
Isn't that what life's all about?:)
And of course, ClearChannel needed to pay their litigators, and I'm sure the guy himself got some legal advice... What did it cost me... A few hundred hours of learning? A few weeks banging my head against the cops and courts... (long story short, If you're not arrested by a police officer, the people who push papers have a hard time figuring out how to handle your filings... A letter to the Justices, and THEIR Boss Justice cleared it up...)
Increase their Transactional Costs, Isn't that what FIGHTING BACK is all about? I know THEY DIDN'T MAKE A DIME OFF OF ME ONCE THEY PAID THE LEGAL BILLS.
And guess what... Although we have not yet learned "WHAT LAW PERMITS THIS?", NO-ONE has informed me that my interpertation of the Law is incorrect, nor that my application of it was improper. No one told me the question was wrong, nor that the way I asked it was wron
Since bored people are the best consumers, school had to be a boring place, and since childish people are the easiest customers to convince, the manufacture of childishness, extended into adulthood, had to be the first priority of factory schools. Naturally, teachers and administrators weren't let in on this plan; they didn't need to be. If they didn't conform to instructions passed down from increasingly centralized school offices, they didn't last long.
You can read the whole thing online, but I ordered a copy to have on the shelf...

Just priced 2 dozen boxes from $BIG_TX_VENDOR, and THEY said, "We'll LOAD Win2Kpro on for you, but it'll be INVOICED as and you'll RECEIVE DISKS FOR XPpro..." So, de-facto, you can't BUY it from $BIG_TX_VENDOR actually, you can GET it, though...

If
you have applied for a license from The State to conduct business (as a Sole Prop. L.L.C., perhaps?),
then
you might not have discretion about whether or not you serve the "Vertically Challenged".
It's like vampires, once you invite The State into your business, it's not really YOUR business.
I think the same thing about fansubbed anime.
I think the translations, and nuances are MUCH better presented, than the hatchet job some TV writer in "L.A." will do...

If you applied for a license to conduct business, there are THREE parties... The Customer, The Businessman and THE STATE.
Your LICENSE is conditional, on you PRIMARILY serving the Public Interest.
Making it difficult on the customer = Bad Faith. You *should* lose your license.
If you don't like having to obey The State, Why did you apply for license?
Simple.
1) It conditions people to permit people without lawful authority to submit to their arbitrary demands.
2) It takes a whole lot of people off unemployment and gives them "Productive Jobs". Small Government My Hairy White Ass...
3) The Assholes mentioned above get an opportunity to get off fucking with people they resent. (Cause they didn't go from unemployed to some shitty-ass job standing around PRETENDING... They know they're PRETENDING. Why do you think they're pissed.
