With the digital decoder boxes we have in the UK, you can preselect programs from an on-screen program list and the digibox will automatically switch channels to watch those shows.
Of course, it has to be turned on (not in standby) and you can't set it to stop when a program finishes but that would work (if there was anything worth recording).
Fun review, couldn't help comparing it with Battlecruiser Millennium http://www.3000ad.com/products/bcm.shtml the sequel to the buggy & prematurely released Battlecruiser 3000AD. An open form space combat simulation with 6 competing empires, 50 star systems and a variety of ships (that you can pilot) from unarmed transports to battlecruisers (think Battlestars) armed with heavy lasers & missiles, and carrying space fighters and marines.
I find the automatic recurring payments feature in GNUCash handy for tracking those payments which always occur at the same time every month: wages, rent, direct debits for local tax, utility bills etc. saves me having to remember these so I just enter the payments I do manually.
I recently bought Beethoven's symphonies on CD, as I would much rather own a physical copy first that I can listen to on a decent stereo and if I want to listen to it with a computer humming in the background its trivial to play the cd there or rip it to oggs.
I guess you've not tried Mozilla's calendar yet? It synchronises on startup, can be synchronised manually, and will synchronise a remote calendar file before adding an event to it.
If you install Office, it adds some preloading components to your windows startup so that when you start an office application there is already some of it cached.
I'd rather buy music on CD. I can then either listen to it on a nice quiet stereo or If I want, rip it to the PC & put up with music plus a varied selection of hums.
While google maps/earth is useful for navigation what they and other online maps seem to be missing is the terrain contour lines.
Now these don't look very pretty, but if you know how to use them you can read off the altitude & gradient of terrain features. Very useful if you're planning to do some hiking.

Do you have access to an IMAP mailbox? I've started using feed2imap - http://home.gna.org/feed2imap/ (use IMAP on Gmail for more entertanment)
Alternatively, as a lynx user, you may like Snownews - https://kiza.eu/software/snownews/ - its a text-mode rss reader.

MP: In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
GC: A cup ' COLD tea.
EI: Without milk or sugar.
TG: OR tea!
MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.
EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.
GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
Just what we need, a furry-compatible open source licence :P

Yes, and we're going to buy our colony back, the Queen doesn't like what you've done with it.
You are RMS AICMFP :)
The banks authorise online without checking much more than whether the amount can be transferred. Yes its crap, but thats just what they do
If that was the only irritation for today, that'd still be better then where I'm "working".
The last 3 make me wish I had mod points
mod parents up!
There's a review at http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchrev iew.asp?reviewid=194383 but its fun from the freeform concept, you can either be a freelance pilot or follow a mission-based career.
Then drop the cage into the mid-pacific while they're all fighting it out.

As Eddie Izzard once said "you don't get many car chases in books".
Thank you, and again, thank you.

If its an upper manager, you punch them in the face, break their kneecaps *then* call security.
because under the new world order, only America is allowed to stockpile holy hand grenades.
Nothing goes *spaaaang* like a frying pan :)

/ has online UK maps with this data (try searching for Buttermere).
