I've used a few Sat systems, US and CDN and all had some feature of selecting and storing favourite channels. My current allows for 4 groups. The only problem I can't save one as default. Dish allows this.
When you have "500" channels it helps weed out the chaff and we all know how much there is of that.
That was I beleive EDS's AD

Check out the Levi's Ad. Can you see the guys weird walk? How can you see it at like 12FPS? If you've never seen this ad how could anyone see what the ad is about without seeing all the frames, not 50% or less.
Maybe MS is finally done with the Justice Dept. and the settlement and is moving to BC.
Personally, I find it funny that those who rejected the crown's authority in a violent and repressive, (ask an empire loyalist family tossed out of the US after the brits lost), revolution would accept a knighthood, let alone be given one.
Even If you were not tech savy and you saw a AVR board or other electronic device in a sat reciever, you'd know it was not a regular card.
I believe they can expand their search if evidence of another crime is obvious. Most satellite hacks are pretty obvious, besides this was a previous investigation and they probably ran him the FBI DB and his ass was flagged and they looked.
"Asked whether Sprague might have been burning DVDs with content taken from his illegal satellite TV connections, Mrozek said: "It's kind of separate from the movie thing, but who knows? We'll continue to investigate.""
Come on, even PPV today isn't any more recent then what the video stores offer.
Boy, Did this guys Karma take a beating. Sat theft, an Academy Investiagtion, FBI. Maybe the RIAA is looking into him, what's his IP address.
So what do they offer for content. Maybe Anne Murray and Don Messer are not quite worth the.99 Pence or.99 US? Then again maybe the content on the UK & US pages is not worth the.99 CDN to the market here.
We're not talking quantity of songs in the catalogs, maybe their quality counts. (Just like the way sex is, eh!)
Our local radio stations here will tape weekend news & DJ banter then play it over the weekend as if live. This was the explanation when they could not broadcast an emergency weather condition and someone was fatally struck by lightning during the sudden storm.
We do not have the same emergency broadcast system like in the US. I believe the weather service can cut in and broadcast these developments.
In keeeping with the super glue aspect, doesn't the mussel hanging from the teflon look like the guy hanging from the hardhat in the super glue commercials.
How many still have that first computer?

I still have my working commodore PET 2001, 8K built-in tape drive and 40 Column 10" mono display. Ah the days of **** COMMODORE BASIC 2.0 **** 7167 Bytes Free Ready
This Bad Boy was purchased in 1979 and still works with the tapes.
I've also managed to rescue every computer I wanted as a kid. Apple II+, Atari, Mac(orginal), SuperPET.
You always remember your first, but did you keep it?
I've downloaded several models of Acer and Apple PCs from a japanese web site. The Macs were on the ZDnet Japan site, but I can't read japanese to find them now. 404 on my link. Here's the Acer link.

Philips CDD521 Single speed burning and (WOW!!) 2x reading. SCSI interface. Used this before I even used the internet. Let see that was 1994. Replaced it in 1995 with a 4X Plextor internal.
The Philips was the size of a stereo receiver, 19"x10"x12". Just as big as the ALR 486DX66 powering it. We used two EISA 1742 SCSI cards, one for the burner and the other ran the 2 GB drive. Cost for the burner was $4500CDN. Paid for itself with the whole 68 CDs it made before croaking.
Came with Corel CD Creator 1.0. Still have a copy. This was sold to Adaptec and formed the basis of Easy Cd Creator. It was the first drop and burn software as previous systems require the image to be authored first than burnt on.
Chipset drivers. XP on reading errors will slow the drive down to compensate. Problem is some chipset drivers do not set the speed back, and this can cause similar problems to his. The most common result is very very slow performance on the device.
Go the the control panel and under the IDE device and remove the device. Restart and windows will restore the device and the proper settings. To fix completely update the device drivers.
GLide wrappers. They interpret glide calls into opengl or directx calls and allow glide games and apps to run on other non-voodoo cards.
Dos & windows version available. google for it.
Tombraider, Jane's WWII fighters, Quake all work with either my GF2MX or My 8500.
Thanks UltraHLE for helping spawn these glide "emulators"

Video Card History

· Score: 3, Informative
What about the early cards, TIGA, 8514/A & other 3D attempts like RIVA, Mystique, Virge?
What about the cheats on PC benchmarks, back in VGA, now in 3D tests?
What happened to Number 9, ELSA and other "Big" names in cards that are nolonger?
Reads more like a Time magazine article then a serious attempt at a history of video cards
Most glaring to me is the ATI 8500/Nvidia GF3 omission.
Certain museums have licenced the digital rights to the master works. Proving once and for all the 100 years after death of the author copyright term is bogus and the real answer is infinte. It will soon approach infinte mass and a singularity will be create sucking all the money from everyone. Particularly since we're all assumed copyright thieves anyways.
In my early IT career, I worked at Kmart when the C64 was king, 1984-86. Between me and another guy working the computer dept. we sold over $100,000 worth of C64's and accessores in one year @ $199/unit.
I still think the C64 is the best selling model of PC in the world, mainly due to Moore's law of built-in obsolescence of anything since.

So, In Le Crosse WI it seems they can't have a good german fuck, so they have to jerk off.
Maybe a name change is order.

So the US can ship off some of that surplus from the prisons in Texas. Saves on needles eh, George?

Really just another "giv'em the SFX and we'll just need to rehash the same old wagontrain stories" series.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the cylons would you have watched?
As for the remod or "mod" of the series. Does anyone complain when anime gets reworked to suit a movie or new series?

Well as long as it has yet to control the missles, throw the switch.
