I remember being first exposed to The Cartoon Network about 7 years ago. It was nothing but old, tired, unwatchable Hanna Barbera toons from the '70s, played ad nauseum. Seeing The Transformers, DBZ, Cowboy Bebop(the only Anime I actually like) is much more welcome than The Amazing Chan.
And nothing will beat the Aqua Teen Hunger force in terms of humor with the regards to the episode about pop-up ads(wyzzrd.net?)
Do what my friend and I did about 7 years ago. Buy a conair flip fone. It's just a tad bit bigger than a cell phone. My friend(quite a whiz with the soldering iron) and I had ours totally tricked out. In/out audio jacks, a mute switch, a polarity tester, an "off the hook" LED, a "someone picked up an extension" LED + muter(with override switch). I went a bit further and made a cable that included a standard RJ-11 plug, that light-blue plug linemans use, and standard alligator clips.
The Pretender had a strong story line behind its main theme. Sure, Jarod disguised himself as someone to befriend the bad guy and teach him/her a lesson, but the constantly unraveling story of his past(trying to find his parents) and Ms. Parker's drama versus the Centre always kept strong.
That's what made it good. Real shame it was canceled for the flop known as the XFL.
I dunno, but if that pretty intern makes another snotty retort to the other interns("1-800-wehaveitalready!", "and we could put snacks in the break room!"), she is seriously going to get that smile bitchslapped off her face.

Try getting video via the Intel Pro camera. It has an RCA port in it to capture anything(VCR, etc). Needless to say, the performance pales in comparison to my regular TV card due to USB limitations.
Now if it was USB 2, it would be a different story.
Anyone remember Parker Lewis Can't Lose? His buddy wore a trenchcoat, and was already prepared. Each time he whipped out an item you heard the sound of separating velcro.
This guy in the story should design suits for certain professions, with neatly designed inner pockets, outer pockets(like on the Ps1 game "P'Oed" featuring the chef with sidearm cooking utensil) and so forth and then sell them.
I only wish I had more coat pockets and such, but my trendy Dockers will have to do. Carries everything but a handgun in the pockets.
The problem with "Byte" magazine back then is that it was 99% ads. Even moreso than Computer Shopper, but that was because you were lookin' for prices. Byte? Couldn't find the articles.
I'd be more than happy enough to cough up a few extra bucks a month if it means keeping VH-1 classic with very few(or no) commercials.
Heck, make it like those DMX stations where all they do is play tunes(nicely listing the artist+ track) with no VJ's or nothing. That's a feed I would buy.
They honestly need more stations like VH-1 Classic(ie MTV back when it was worth watching). All they seem to play are blocks of mega-obscure videos from the early 80s(and some '70s in their own time slots). I end up just leaving it on that channel for the entire weekend seeing videos I never knew existed before. Commercials? yeah, they seem to air them every 45 minutes or so. I watch that instead of G4 all the time now.
It's too bad MTV2 failed where VH-1 classic picked up. Imagine, a channel that plays just music videos that time hath forgotten! Never thought I would see the day VH-1 Classic is playing Megadeth videos while MTV plays "Fast Lane".
People use thier phones for accessing their media collection.
Sure that's a good idea?
"Welcome to movie-on-demand phone! Make your selection at any time!"
"Press 1 for...Saving Private Ryan"
"Press 2 for..JDG'z DIVX rip of The Ring"
"Press 3 for..Triple X"....
"Press 4932 for The Santa Clause 2"
"To hear these options again, press #"
Eh, I'd prefer an on-screen menu.
Yes, it showed me that whoever wrote the article just had to put the mandatory anti-MS comment to get it submitted.
It could have been 1 service poack or 2, and it still would have been written the same way. Gotta have the obligatory jab at MS(even if they are doing something right).
And I can express my view against it by simply not subscribing to Slashdot.
The answer to your question is LiveJournal. I'd say about 90% of the userbase consists of 19 year old Ani Difranco/Tori Amos trendy bisexual drama queens trashing their ex-boyfriends and looking for sympathy.:)
Here's my idea. Use WiFi with an MPEG and have enough 802.11 APs around. Get streaming radio stations(CityWorld Best '80s is my favorite) over the Internet to play in your car. Sure, it'd piss off the RIAA, but it would give you a much better variety of music than corporate radio, without a monthly fee.
I admit I watched The Idiot Box. One of the many MTV shows that had skits between videos. I miss VOTAR, that computer-animated(must have been made with about 20 polygons) max-headroom like guy who summarized the show. He had the Steven Hawking-like voice.
Anoyne remember the dog that had some appliance for a body, who said "ralfy ralfy ralfy!"??
Then I strongly recommend you turn to VH-1 classic. It's what MTV was about, oh, say 20 years ago with NO VJs(except one woman that sometimes comes on) and commercials roughly every HOUR. I was in utter shock with some of the rare/obscure videos they played on their '80s weekend 2 weeks ago. I was glued to the set.
Hey, I really would not suggest slashdot linking to Novak's website. As you know, the "slashdot effect" will bring his site to a crawl, losing potential customers. He'll also have a hefty bandwidth bill from his ISP.
So, whatever you do, try not to visit his website. Don't hit Shift-reload over and over again. Don't ask all your friends to visit it and hit shift-reload over and over again.:)
I found the most entertaining articles on here are ones that don't drone on with the Linux/MS war. For example, there was one about Pinball several months ago worth reading.
Also, the only John Katz article I read front to back was on the book "Catch me if you can", which I actually went out and bought. Also bought a ZipZap for fun too.

You sure about that? Infocom faithfully released their text adventures on the TI, but never in cassette form.
I DO want to see a version of Choplifter for the TI though. According to some sources, it was made.

,know most websites can't survive on banner ads alone, but it does generate a revenue that's pretty significant to web companies.
Is that like the 300 clicks for a penny thing? Those never work. So, no loss to me.

Infocom used to add in all sorts of goodies to their text adventures. Several of the props I belive were needed for hints, etc in the game.
It's no surprise. I played Team Fortress Classic for 3 hours straight and went to bed. Of course my dream took place in one of the TFC maps.
I can't wait until an enterprising Japenese company makes similar-scale r/c helicopters. I'd buy one in a heartbeat(+ a bunch of spare rotors)
That's because you can make a typo while writing a letter to grandma, and your system will still boot up afterward. Not so with .INI files and such.

Yeah? Robocop Mk2 had a human brain, and it was a frickin' nuke addict, armed with a vulcan machine gun, going Columbine on the city. :)
