I, myself, am grateful to be here at all. My dad (Canadian radio operator who participated in D-Day), narrowly missed becoming 'collateral damage' somewhere in Normandy. He had the unpleasant task of telling the USAF bombers to stop dropping armament on the front-line Allied tanks.
And this was 1944. George Santayana: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it."
Tip of the Day: If you ever find yourself in a war (or wargames) zone, avoid using the word "repeat" on your celphone or other wireless-audio device. The safe term is "Say again."
I'm with you on this one... 2 1/2 years with no "live" TV in my house. I have a cable modem but no cable TV. We watch mainly VCR tapes, and only caved in for a DVD player because there are things we just can't get on tape.
Why get digital TV if you can't make a good copy of your favourite show? Why buy a DRM-encoded CD that won't play properly on your computer?
Does Big Media actually believe that it can survive by limiting access to its product and alienating potential customers?

Entirely likely, sad to say.
