Don't ever eat sweet sticky food over your keyboard in a rat-infested lab. I accidently dropped gooey caramel on my keyboard (insufficently cleaned it) and the next day, found that a mouse ate the top of the 'H' key.
Lol. What do you call the NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, PBS... shall I go on? We on the Right alledgedly have Fox, but come on, that's one source. The media is Liberal.
Shouldn't this be:

I never connect my Directv to a landline. I buy ppv movies on the website and they're instantly authorized to your dish.
I agree with you here. When I bought my HDTV, I got Directv's ~6 channel HDTV package. Note: Directv promised 6 months free with a 1 year commitment. Of course they completely screwed me over on this... grrrr!
What you get with your 6 channel package is about 50% hdtv-originate content which is mostly crap.
ESPN-HD is 90% upconverted content. When they show HD college football, the action is so awesome, it looks like there are little people running around in your box. Really nice, but there are few and far between. I'm looking forward to their baseball coverage.
Discovery-HD has stunning documentaries, but that gets boring as well - and I love Discovery. One of their shows feature absolutely beautiful sunrises in Yellowstone, Alaska et. al., but as you might guess, watching the sun rise is an awesome event, but it's not great TV (I like it for 2 minutes at a time).
UHD shows the GD Greek Summer olympics of all things (didn't they suck the first time around?) and lots of Law & Order.
HDNET shows 'Bikini Destination' which never gets boring - amazing huh?:)
As an early adapter (I bought the very first CD music player for about $600), I'm used to getting little bang for the buck, but I would urge those with a lower pain threshold to wait for more HDTV-origiated content. Of course it's a chicken/egg thing, they won't be forced to offer better content until there are more HDTV sets. Go figger.:)
I'm curious, let's say I do what you advise, then emerge KDE3.4. The next time I emerge --sync, will it prompt me to download KDE3.3? (I've never downloaded masked packages.)
No,Vidalinux is not perfect, but it reduces the install time from days to hours. It installs a bunch of crap that I don't want, but once I figure the pain-to-hour ratio, it's worth it.
My original Vida install left my XP install intact, shortly thereafter I hosed it, but I really don't care since I mounted the hda1 drive and copied it over to the dark side. I no longer have XP installed.
Hee hee.
This post reminded of an email our receptionist sent one day. It was a note reminding the staff that the water lines were being repaired:
"Today, the water lines on the 2nd floor are being repaired. Please do not use water in the building from noon until 2pm. Thank you, and sorry for any incontinence."
When we're looking at resumes of prospective employees, we'll take a B student that worked his way through college over a straight A student that lived a sheltered life. Grades don't tell how great an employee is... we want to know their pain threshold.:)
I'm sure Will*ams Internati*nal will consider this a nice R&D effort. They'll toot their horn and proclaim these great engines will restore their place in the turbofan market. Williams is on their last leg, and I'm sure Honda's entry in the engine market will quicken Williams' death.
The general aviation industry is getting a big kick in the pants from startup Eclipse Aviation. When - not if - we get our Very Light Jet certified in 1.5 years, it will revolutionize the way people fly (not only improve fuel economy).

Alot of Gentoo users would agree with you. I think Gentoo's updating of config files is attrocious. I finally started using dispatch-conf which at least keeps one from hosing their system.

Curious, can you ctrl-z, power down, power up and resume compiling? I don't know, I'm asking.

Ah, now *there* are good some good screenshots. Don't show me menu listings.
By the time I decide, HDTV will be obsolete.
Nope, not a story worthy of being on ./
