  1. Re:i hate paypal on PayPal Freezes Hurricane Relief Account · · Score: 1

    The existing SA account was suspended by paypal last year for violation of their adult content restrictions. That's why you have to use a credit card with another processor to subscribe or buy forum features.

    So, this was either a new account or someone's personal account. Given that, such heavy activity in a short period of time is suspicious, even absent the complaints Paypal received. Suspending the account isn't really that unreasonable, although paypal's chaotic process of doing so and unresponsive customer service can be criticized.

  2. Re:Radio Shows on TiVo For Radio? · · Score: 1

    I also use my VCR to timeshift my radio listing.

    I use RCA cables to link the AUD OUT from my receiver to the LINE IN of my VCR, then I use the timer on the VCR to record a program at the correct time on station L1. Over the years I've moved up from mono to hi-fi to stereo VCRs and have always set my system up the same way.

    I used this set up to record the Jackie/Billy West-era Howard Stern shows while I was at school or work. When I got home I could fast forward through the commercials and slow parts and finish listing to a five hour show in an hour or so.

    Necessity -- or in this case lesbians -- is the mother of invention....

  3. Re:Rebate FritoLay cash on Lord of The Rings DVD, Now or Later? · · Score: 1

    I bought the standard DVD through Toyopia.com using the FritoLay "Summer of Cash" promotion chits that have been sitting admist the chip guts in the bottom of my Wavy Lays bags.

    LOTR 24.95
    Fritolay cash -20.00
    S+H 6.95 *bastards*
    Total: $11.90

    If I buy the extended DVD in November:

    rebate 10.00
    net cost $1.90

    $1.90 to watch a movie for 4 months that I can then sell on ebay for 5 bucks. Damn near make a profit on this and I didn't have to drive a Kia....

    And after all
    You're my renderwall....

    Thank you Chicago -- Goodnight!

  5. Re:Wrong Title on High Score · · Score: 1

    Katz gets the simplest of facts wrong. Imagine our surprise....

    More significantly, this book was published in April 2002. How does a book review that's four months tardy count as news?

    Hey Jonboy, how's that Jonathan Livingston Seagull review coming along?

  6. American Comic -- sort of... on The Forever War · · Score: 1

    Around the early '80s Mediasceen magazine printed a series of production drawings from a proposed Forver War movie. The pictures were by comic-book fave Neal Adams. Adams' take on the power-armor was streamlined with a way cool series of concealed bays holding the weapons. Think Batman Beyond crossed with Heinlein.

    Another good Haldeman book is Mindbridge. Similar to Pohl's Gateway in structure and with The Forever War's style, it's also a good read.
