To be fair to W (not that he deserves it), the balance of power changed with Clinton's signing the Telecommunications At in 1996 - it allowed the current consolidation of ownership and the resulting increased power & size of the surviving telecomms.
You might want to look at the Hava -- it's sort of like a Slingbox for MCE. I picked one up a week or so ago, but haven't hooked it up yet. You can plug your cable box's component video output into it (it'll act as a passthrough if your TV takes component video input), so it'll get the same signal as the TV, allowing you to record protected content.
If your STB has a digital output (usually FireWire), you may be able to record encrypted digital signals. I've done this with my Moto DCT6200 STB, recording HDNet & Discovery HD programming on a Mac.
Macs rule when it comes to this kind of thing -- they come with built-in FireWire, and with a free download of Apple's FireWire SDK, you get an app that will let you record & playback the MPEG2-TS data that the STB streams out its FireWire port.
you can probably find people who object to the human race on the grounds the Earth would be better off (for some definition of "better" that I don't really understand) without us.
I was living in Iowa at that time -- IIRC when the law took effect, gas stations raised their prices by several cents per gallon rather than just rounding up to the next penny, ostensibly to cover the costs of the new law.
I wasn't in Iowa when they repealed the law, but I doubt that stations lowered their prices by $0.001 when it happened.

We just don't get paid for continuously fucking up.
That's Dubya's job.
You bought one of these?

Of course it will -- just scale up one of these.

It exists -- there's just no intelligent life there.
That's just great -- I just bought some vacation property there, and you're telling me the view is obstructed?
But weren't the telephone sanitizers all on the Bee Ark?

You mean these guys?
Well, we've already got computers that look like beavers, so it won't be long now...
The evidence has accumulated that we live in a universe that's much stranger than we'd believed.
Haldane figured that out 80 years ago, without benefit of modern cosmology.
HDNet will offer HD coverage of the launch at 10 PM EST.
If you believe this guy, they've probably already done that and quite a bit more.
BFD -- it's been 20+ years for me.
Here you go.

Being in that state is nothing new.
Kim Jong Il is known to be a fan of Daffy Duck. Having giant rabbits around can allow him to re-enact one of the funniest cartoons of all time.
Sometimes, high beams are good.
They already have -- these aliens are from France.
That may explain why we haven't heard from K'Breel lately.
Imagine a life inside a box, malnourished, with no human contact.
In other words, the typical Slashdotter's daily routine.
this commercially viable synthetic gecko has been around for years.
