My experience has been the opposite. I've gotten lots of interesting stuff popping up in my TiVo's suggestion box. It probably helps if you watch a lot of shows that are one-of-a-kind, such as documentaries. That way the system pretty much *has* to find different shows for you (although perhaps on the same or similar subjects).
Cable's big advantage is that (for now) you need to use their boxes to record HD and premium channels. While TiVo's IR blaster controlling the cable box works fine, it's not an ideal solution. TiVo won't be coming out with a CableCard 2.0 HD box until 2006 IIRC. I'll upgrade my current unit to that one when it comes out, if I don't get fed up and build a MythTV box first.
Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.
The packaging tells you 1,000 songs, assuming they are of average length and are all encoded at 128kbps AAC. I have mostly 192kbps AAC's on mine and can maybe fit about 780 songs. I could probably fit a little over 800 if I didn't have anything in 256kbps or 192kbps MP3 from my eMusic subscription days.
More importantly, how many station wagons full of tapes is that? And, if I try to figure out how many of those phones will fit in a station wagon, will that result in the formation of a black hole?
"That's what corporations are for - why should only "traditional" corporations have all the fun?"
Traditional corporations have a legitimate business purpose and are generally owned by several (preferably unrelated) individuals. If the courts see that a corporation was set up as a sham, they will disregard it. I read about this happening all the time in the estate tax field. See Strangi vs. Commissioner for a good example.
If all your assets are in a corporation that only you own, that just makes things *a lot* easier for the courts...they'll seize all your stock in the corporation and then they'll have free reign over the underlying assets.
iPods work as USB 2.0/Firewire drives, but the player software does not support drag and drop from the file manager. The iPod is based upon maintaining various playlists in iTunes, which you can select to sync to the iPod. That way, any time you change your playlists in iTunes, it just gets updated automatically when you plug in your iPod.
Think about it...of course major health care organizations are going to find some sort of link between video games and violence. Think of the BILLIONS of dollars in potential revenue to be had by "treating" kids who play too many games. Now who's the whore?
You must be new here...in a nutshell, most/.'s have a hard-on for anything that harkens back to the days of Sparc IPX cases, Sparc pizza boxes and Compaq luggables. I've owned two of those myself at some point in time.

FWIW, one of Ice Cube's solo tracks has the sound of a bomb going off. Aptly named, "The Bomb."

In the UK, they're also marketed as the "Toyota Lexus." That's why the specific model names are just numbers and letters.
As a taxpayer, I'm willing to give up on the "War on Drugs" to provide the funding for space probes.
I don't know, but I hear these guys already did a search on Google to find out:

I could see how a big-ass smoke grenade, lobbed over to the other side, might help your soldiers.
Bill Gates just bought a PS2. MSFT shares have plummetted!
"Does he also use a Palm?"
Only when he gets your mother board.
Can we possibly *not* taint the discussion of legitmate, homebrew gaming with someone that just wants to warez ROMS? Thanks.

Or just buy one of those really small FM radios at the dollar store.
It's because our eyes are evolved to be most responsive to the yellow light of the sun, which incandescent bulbs emulate a little better.
It costs money to filter. It would be cheaper to offer filtering software to the few prudes who would want it.

Since Comcast is running a *government-granted* monopoly in my town, it is censorship. Same goes for Verizon.
The rest of us just download them with BitTorrent.
