The Daewoo DVG-3000N is $95 (about 110) and is capable of outputting to an NTSC or PAL television set, you can also change the region setting. So while I've never used the player outside of region 1, it should be a perfectly capable set in Europe.
Are you saying that intentionally making a fool out of yourself on national TV is supposed to be a smart thing to do?
Someone who answers questions for Jay Leno in front of a video camera is doing it solely so that they can get on TV, if they didn't want to get on TV then they wouldn't take time to answer any of the questions. I'm not saying that the desire to be on TV is smart or stupid, but if you want to be on TV and the only way to be on TV is to give stupid answers, giving smart answers is absurdly retarded.
I remember reading somewhere that they only interview something like 14 people to get the 5-8 clips they usually broadcast. Truly scary.
Not really. When Jay Leno comes up to you on the street and asks you trivia questions, if you're smart you know that the only way you're going to be on TV is if you give stupid answers, so that's exactly what people do. It's the people that waste their time answering all the questions correctly, oblivious to the fact that they aren't going to be on TV, that are the truly stupid.

You can find most DVD's cheaper at dvdpricesearch.com. The Black Adder box set, for example, can be found for significantly less than what amazon offers it for.

Yes, but a belief doesn't imply faith. I believe that the dark side of the moon is not covered by rivers of chocolate milk. That I have no evidence directly disputing any chocolate milk moon river claims does not mean it is faith, just common sense.
Because hearers of the new noise are virtually unable to resist turning to face the direction from which it is coming, banks and shops are evaluating its potential for catching criminals.
There was a time when a car alarm going off caused everyone to turn and look, but now they're so commonplace that nobody turns to look at a car when the alarm is going off. If this new noise is going to be used in phones and alarms everywhere, it shouldn't be long before people become desensitized to it as well.
It's a line from a famous editorial. A girl wrote to a newspaper asking if there was really a Santa Claus and the line "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" became famous.

This is what really annoys me. The record labels say that most of your money goes towards the rights to listen to a CD, but when you already own the rights to listen to a CD and simply need to replace the physical disc most of them force you to purchase the rights again in order to get the physical disc. I had a few CD's damaged a couple years back and asked the record labels how to get a cheap replacement disc since I already paid them for the rights to the music, and all of them except for one told me I would have to buy the CD from the store again (I wound up buying new jewel cases and moving the liners to them and bringing them to a couple of stores saying I just got them as a birthday present and they were broken and exchanged them for new ones, I would have been happy to pay a dollar or two to the label for a new CD but instead got them for free). Luckily I was able to do this since I still had the physical CD, but if I had ever lost it or had it stolen I'd have been out of luck. The record companies say you're purchasing the rights to listen to an album, but for the most part their actions are contrary to this (unlike software manufacturers, in the old days you could easily get a replacement for a defective floppy).
Three bucks for your newsstand copy of Playboy? Not even close.
If Consumer Reports can afford to sell a year subscription of 13 magazines and 2 books for $26 without running ads in the magazines, I don't see why three dollars doesn't come close to covering the cost of a Playboy.
My grandparents (who live in East Point, an Atlanta suburb) found WebVan to be quite convenient.
Since they live near Atlanta, they can probably order groceries online from ingles2go.com. If you don't know, Ingles is a grocery store chain and have an advantage over webvan in that they already have warehouses and stores set up which are profitable so they don't need to make enough in deliveries to cover the warehouse costs, just enough to cover the extra employee costs.
Some search engines, like excite do track what people click on, though I don't know if they make this information public. It certainly makes sense to record this info so that sites that get clicked on a lot for a particular search term can be moved up and those that are clicked on less often can be moved down.

Nobody's saying spammers shouldn't be allowed to say what they're saying, it's how they're saying it. Pepsi can run commercials on TV telling me to drink pepsi all they want, but if they hire someone to tap the message "Drink more pepsi" in morse code on my forehead then they've gone too far and should be stopped. If someone wants to sell me a list of 50 billion email addresses of eighteen year old girls who want to enlarge my penis while making money fast that's fine, I have no problem with them doing that, get an ad in a newspaper or magazine but don't email it to me and don't tap it into my forehead and don't shout it via megaphone at 3:00 AM outside my house.
Gramm,
Leach and Bliley are three Republican Congressmen who have
all received huge bribes (sometimes called campaign
contributions) from the banking industry
Why is it that everyone calls a campaign contribution a bribe? So three people believe that banks, insurance companies, and stock brokerages should be allowed to combine. Is this a huge shock? Is it simply unfathomable that intelligent people would fell this way? No, intelligent people often have differing opinions. So, who is the banking industry going to give money to? The politicians whose views will make the bank more money or the politicians whose views will make the bank less money? It's not a bribe if it doesn't affect how the person acts, there's no reason to believe these are bribes rather than money spent to get someone already on their side into office.

What do you call them then?
Intel x86 fluent computational devices. Or Ixflucomdevs for short.
In your car, in case of an accident or traffic stop.
You should make sure there are no laws against this before attempting it.
The original didn't run on your 386 either.
You can buy it directly from ReplayTV.

You might be able to find blue potato chips at your local grocery store. Although they're called blue, the chips look more purple to me.
"that I will advice" should be "that I will advise".

in that case, i think a global condom and birth control pill recall is in order.
Impossible. Recalled products have to be mailed back and no parcel delivery service can guarantee 100% delivery.
