This discovery all started when the Arecebo observatory started picking up wailing cries from deep space. Plans are now being made to launch a Saturn V converted into a giant baby bottle.
"Uh, earth to Moshe. Our perspective on television has already changed dramatically over the past 3 to 5 years "
Dramatically? Try little at all. A few people have PVRs now, but it is still a small number. More and more people record onto DVD instead of tape, but that is just a change-of-medium. Some people are net-surfing instead of watching TV, but that is also a gradual change. Nothing dramatic here.
"If a H-1b visa were sold at auction, it would easily go for $50K or so."
Are they sold at auction anywhere to anyone? Or are such visas always given away? In other words, is it always free anyway?
"The companies pay nothing-just like networks pay virtually nothing to use the airwaves to spew their corporate pornography"
Last time I knew, the Playboy channel was cable or satellite only (not on airwaves), and I don't think many networks are involved in broadcast porn (if any?).
Are you talking about TechTV turning into the "nothing but guys yammering about videogames, and oh, Screen Savers too!" network? The G4 stuck on the front of the name is particularly retro, as Apple has been rolling out faster G5's for quite some time now.
There is nothing like seeing a Blue Screen of Death on a 50 inch plasma screen. And there's nothing like having the "URKEL32" teleworm wipe out your Simpsons recording collection.
"That son of a bitch ate my brother, just because he was blue and flashing. Fuck him and that bitch of his with the bow on her head"
And that ding-danged yellow headed twerp of theirs called "Jr". He wasn't potty-trained yet, and when he ate up that trail of white dots he left a trail of brown dots behind.
""I always have other feelers out," he said. "There's no such thing as a permanent position anymore."....Clinton and his lookalike Kerry
Well, the first statement applies to Clinton perfectly, as does the second one to Kerry. But I'll be a monkey's uncle if I'd think that they looked alike.
"The article mentions this Mr Pacman and his family are staying in a $58-a-night motel, so basically you work just enough to breath until the next morning?"
He and his family are well known to the staff, and as a result they tend to leave extra power-pills under the bed to get them through the night.
I wonder if you were also annoyed by the commentators who said "now we've got a REAL horse race" at different times during the last US presidential election. Despite these claims, Bush and Kerry had not suddenly been transformed into quarterhorses.
An apiary holds bees? That explains a lot. I got one for Christmas when I was 7 and was so heartbroken I couldn't find any chimps or gorillas to house in it.
Did they have freezers 65 million years ago? And if they did, did they have enough of them to place all the bees in the world into them? And who actually shut the door and (more importantly) opened the fridge door to let them out?

Now, doesn't everyone's channel selection need to be embraced and extended?
Tro, there an old TV show called Star Trek. One character was named "Bones". He was not named "Bone".

One of the above words has correct use of the apostrophe. You decide which one!
Seriously? It was yesterday, during boot-up. I had to power it off. Thankfully, it did not blue-screen during the next boot.

There's also the fun of when some kid in Hong Kong gains control of your TV through an unsecure port and starts to change the channels on you.

Likewise, if Al Gore runs and wins in 2008, he can only serve one term and then resign (because he was already elected in 2000).
How much are corporations being paid to do this?
And that ding-danged yellow headed twerp of theirs called "Jr". He wasn't potty-trained yet, and when he ate up that trail of white dots he left a trail of brown dots behind.
It has also been alledged by some that, 50 years ago, about half of the working population made below-average wages.

My mistake. At first, I thought it said Trekkies, and had something to do with the collapsing Star Trek franchise.
we're playing Halo.
"Within 20 minutes of the code release, SCO sued claiming that it contained something of theirs".
Do you think that if the physicist had not said "you cannot fly to death!" had said something else, he might not have been stung?
Here is a link to one such story.

Some crazy aussie in shorts wrestling them on TV, what? Crikey!
