Why not make it *really* easy and develop a "forward" button that would actually take you to the piece of the Mega-pagecount-poorly-indexed-searchbuttonless web portal of doom that you're really interested in? They could call it the Psychic Fast Forward or some such.

Yes. A TiVo Digital Video Recorder works by automatically making a brief, daily call to download the latest TV program data to its hard drive so that you can take full advantage of your TiVo service subscription (learn more about TiVo service). This call is automated, lasts just a few minutes and occurs when your phone is not in use, usually at night. You do not need to install a new telephone jack; it works with your existing phone line. The TiVo service is accessed through a standard telephone line and is available as a local call in most areas. In some areas, local and long- distance toll charges may apply.
If you want to make sure that a local access number is available in your area, you can find the most up-to-date list of dial-in numbers using the UUNet POP Locator*. Simply enter your area code and all of the local numbers available for your area code will be displayed.
You are responsible for any toll charges that you incur when using a particular access number. Check with an operator if you are not sure which numbers are local to you.
Your phone will always be available for your use. Simply pick the phone up and the DVR will hang up and make a call later. A phone line splitter and a 25-foot phone cord are provided with the purchase of a TiVo DVR. The UUNet Pop Number Locator tool is 24-48 hours ahead of the TiVo listings so all numbers appearing within the tool may not show in the TiVo interface immediately.
It doesn't look like they've allowed for updated Tivo over broadband yet. I dropped my land line for a cell phone and broadband (had the cellphone already anyway). Tivo looks great, but is un-usable.
It's probobly more likly that he will kill you. Only in those las few seconds before he plows into you will you be close enough to see what had his attention.
Joe Sixpack doesn't give a rat's patoot about the DMCA. If you want to affect "Wal-Mart lovin' Joe Sixpack", you are going to need somehow use the DMCA to cancel a Nascar race. It's the only way to get Joe and the rest of the Sixpack family to care.

The difference between distribution of books and of CD's is that it would cost me more to print out a book and read it than it does to buy it at the bookstore. I know I could read it off the computer but it doesn't have the same "quality" as a printed book.
CD's, on the other hand, can be copied for less than what it costs to buy one. The quality doesn't go down, you just lose out, potentially, on the printed materials that go with the CD.
Maybe when CD prices prices come down to where the cost goes up to create one yourself we won't have this P2P "problem".
Of course, there's the justification for taxing the blank media to raise the cost of copying CD's.
If they're going to allow someone to access adult, read "pornographic" web sites on the internet, they really need to make sure that young children aren't being exposed to these types of sites, by looking over someone's shoulder, etc.
I propose that they put the computers for the adults in separate booths, where a door can be closed. They could include a clothes hook and a box of kleenex, too!!

Why doesn't Apple make an iMac without a monitor. If I could put a Mac on my desk without having to pay for an LCD monitor or buy a powerMac without paying for dual processors. Something in the sub-$1000 price range would be nice.
Just take the arm off the iMac. I know it won't look as cool with my old 19" monitor, but it would be much more appealing to me. And I wouldn't have to replace the monitor when I upgrade the computer.
I agree with most of what you're saying, but you say:
More likely would be that the ISP would change their policies such that they would only turn off e-mail as a last resort and/or that they would bounce messages sent to disabled e- mail addresses.
after saying:
When there are multiple qualified people available, the potential employer may have simply chosen to contact another one rather than trying to track down someone who did not even answer the e-mail that was sent.
So by them bouncing email back, there's still a very good possibility that the employer would not do any more to track down the applicant. If I send an email that is somewhat inconsequential and it comes back, I often just ignore it and forget about it.
So, we'll see these used on billboards or other advertising, using less power than conventional billboards which require lighting at night. These can be lit from within and changed in a moments notice.

Not Bad.
Thanks for the info. I hate to be thought of as a troll. When you go to Tivo's site and check the FAQ, below is what you see.
Maybe I should have said broadband is not _supported_, rather than allowed for.
For Joe consumer, having to purchase and install unsupported equipment does not sell Tivo's.
From the FAQ on Tivo.com

I read the headline and thought that they were taking old Honda motorcycles and converting them into Segways.
I think iControl and the DVR they offer are two different things.
iControl is video on demand.
They also have a DVR with 80 gig hd.
And where his other hand was.

I would think it would mean smuggling grey market Canadian OncoMice in to the US would be where it's at. They'd be worth more here.

Sometimes my thoughts scare me, too.
I guess this means those of you in the EU won't be allowed to read Slashdot at -1 anymore. Time to stop giving the Europeans moderation points.
The US doesn't have any faked landing of Venus that we're covering up, I hope. If that's the case, Venus express will never make it.

Yes, but until they give out details of the time machine, I'm not going to be happy. It's called the Chronovisor.
wtf, please explain your thought process.
Sorry about this being offtopic, but I need an explanation. A Cubist Bakery??
Could you imagine the Dukes of Hazzard without commercial breaks??
I remember almost peeing my pants, holding it during the commercial break, hoping Bo and Luke would get away from Rosco and Boss.
I think if I wouldn't have waited, the General Lee probably would crashed by the time I got back.
That was _quality, artistic_ television.
About the same size as a Susan B Anthony Dollar, which is what spelt her demise
