"The interjection makes a lot of difference to the meaning."
I believe that would be more accurately worded "The interjection makes a lot of difference in the meaning.". The meaning itself, being inanimate, is incapable of having an opinion on itself or changes in itself due to changes in that of which it is the meaning, therefore the interjection makes no difference to the meaning whatever.
"Build a HTPC into a VCR, and keep the original funcionality of the VCR"
Any chance of seeing pictures, parts list, et cetera? Where did you find a VCR with that much extra space inside? When you say "keep the original functionality", you do mean retaining the original helical scan head and tape transport, don't you? I'm not attacking you or doubting you, I'm sincerely interested in seeing what you've done.
Isn't it already digital on its way into the video card? Even if the digital stuff going into the video card is just instructions to the video card, would it be possible to tap into the feed from the video card's processor to its digital to analog converter, or is all that sealed up in one chip these days?
Try searching (for rack mount screws) the Musical Instrument category of eBay or the various online musician oriented stores or mcmelectronics. If you mean a generic mounting bracket for rack mounting, it's called a shelf.
"Except people are willing to pay him to opine, because he doesn't strike the majority of Americans as a partisan boob."
He's paid to opine because he is partisan. He's a boob because he outed a CIA agent without checking to see whether doing so would reveal classified material and endanger both ongoing operations and the lives of that and other agents.
Generally the surround material is determined by the enclosure design. Sealed boxes (known as "acoustic suspension" about 30 years ago) usually call for the "floppier" foam surrounds as the air pressure differential between the inside and the outside of the box is part of the speaker's suspension that restores it to the rest position when the voltage across the terminals goes back to zero, whereas the stiffer surrounds are more often used in non-sealed boxes, such as open back guitar amp cabinets and "bass reflex" cabinets with the plastic pipe "tuned ports".
A few months ago I got drafted to volunteer to run sound temporarily for the contemporary service at church. It quickly changed from a one hour a week gig to a one man department, but one pleasant surprise was a pair of Peavey speakers that were designed to be repaired. The tweeters in both had open coils, just ordered new ones and swapped them out with nothing but a nut driver. Fixed one of the woofers just by loosening the hold down bolts and re-centering the coil. They may not be the best sounding speakers ever made but it sure was nice to be able to get them up and running again in just a few minutes. I've rewound slot car motors and guitar pickups (many years ago) but I'm glad I didn't have to try a voice coil.
Next project, resurrecting the old main sanctuary mixer, a Yamaha MC1604( current one is an Allen & Heath GL3300:-)that spent a year in the youth annex with ants wandering around inside enjoying all the spilled sodas.
Perhaps if you (and whoever gave you that "informative" mod point) would google for "dell non-standard atx" you'd realise that the proprietary problem is far from gone.
"They still put watch pockets on a lot of jeans, after all..."
Those pockets are for guitar picks, if you want a watch pocket, get a vest (as in 3 piece suit type, not British underwear). Watch pockets on dress pants usually are separate from the other pockets and have a flap.
"That is why all the music produced before copyright laws existed is all bland junk....."
I was just thinking the other day, what if all the stuff from hundreds of years ago and on up to the 20th century had been copyrighted all this time, and there had been no financial incentive to use "public domain" music (as was done in the cartoons which introduced so many of us to so many classical works--"Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit") because there was no public domain stuff?
Glad to see there will be more MI-5 (assuming A&E picks up the 2nd and 3rd seasons), but I don't see why it has to be re-named on its way across the Atlantic. At least I'll have a chance to see how the first season's cliffhanger ending is resolved.
Speaking of cliffhanger endings, was there a Starhunter episode after the "Dallas/Bob Newhart/it was all a dream" ending that explains how the son, suddenly older than his girl cousin, winds up as the captain his father had dreamed/forseen himself to be?
It's bad because it throws a lot of extra work on the ISPs off of which they don't make a dime, which means something else (like, you'll pardon the marketingspeak, the quality of the cutomer's experience) has to suffer in order to cover the extra expense.
"It got popular in re-runs after its cancellation (which brought the movies into existence..."
I think it's more like the massive financial success of the first Star Wars movie in 1977 got Paramount all hot and bothered to put out a Star Trek movie. The financial success of the first ST movie lead to the rest (and probably to ST:TNG as well).
"...Roddenberry approached (I think it was CBS) trying to sell his "wagon train to the stars" (making an attempt to appeal the success of a show called Gunsmoke)..."
More likely he was referring to the series "Wagon Train" which ran for several seasons during the late '50s, early '60s era. "Lost in Space" was a direct rip of the Gold Key (or maybe it was MGM) comic book "Space Family Robinson" (which was, of course, a direct rip of "Swiss Family Robinson".
If Star Trek had been "Gunsmoke" in space Kirk would have been too busy nailing Miss Kitty and the girls each week to do any captaining.

The FCC is empowered, within certain parameters, to issue rulings which have the force of law.
Well, you're obviously the engineer and not airstaff or programming because you didn't insert the calls or the frequency in every paragraph.

Otherwise, a most excellent point and post.
Now that you've written it, put it in your sig file.

Not only do I have a Pentium 60, it came with the handy waffle iron heat sink already installed.

Speaking of epics, ever hear of the secret, suppressed alternate conclusion to Beowulf? It ends in a cluster...
Oh yeah, the email I want to receive is most likely to come from a hotmail account (or yahoo or AOL), right, sure...
The only solution is to replace email with something else based on "sender pays".
What a wonderful all-purpose excuse! "My life is still pre-revenue, I'm still developing my technology".

Why hasn't this been modded up to +5, Funny, yet?
Actually an "evil" Starfleet could be the basis of a good series.
Now there's a man who knows how to construct a playlist.
Yeah, but so did PL/1.
