especially when you consider in Canada they broadcast (i.e. no cable needed) the sopranos (at 11pm). Heck even CityTv broadcasts softcore porn after 12.
They air sopranos around 9 PM here in Sweden. Buffy the vampire slayer used to be aired somewhere around 5 PM

The VHS is Dead

Here's the deal. I've got this GPU with TV-in, but it doesen't have a TV-tuner. So, what do i do? I hook up my VCR to my puter so i can watch TV on my puter without a TV tuner card. It's cheap and works in Linux.
A run of the mill DVD player doesen't have TV tuning capability, therefore it sucks and is nothing that will replace my VHS and DVD drive on my puter anytime soon.
Eh, that was a mess. That'll teach me not to post drunk.
What i meant is, why discard your VCR when you can tune TV with it? And when you/do/ want to watch DVD 99% of the computers around have DVD players. With a descent screen it makes a TV completely redudnant!

I'd never heard of shred, so I checked it out, and found this interesting tidbit in the man page:
CAUTION: Note that shred relies on a very important assumption: that the filesystem overwrites data in place. This is the traditional way to do things, but many modern filesystem designs do not satisfy this assumption. The following are examples of filesystems on which shred is not effective:
* log-structured or journaled filesystems, such as those supplied with AIX and Solaris (and JFS, ReiserFS, XFS, Ext3, etc.)
* filesystems that write redundant data and carry on even if some writes fail, such as RAID-based filesystems
* filesystems that make snapshots, such as Network Appliance's NFS server
* filesystems that cache in temporary locations, such as NFS version 3 clients
* compressed filesystems
You are missing out the important usage of shred, not to remove one file, but to erase all the contents of a drive.
'shred -z/dev/hda'
Sure, it will take days on a reasonably large drive, but it beats all the undelete software in the world (besides NSA's hardcore magnet field analysis thingamabob?)
Slackware
* Slackware is the system for old, conservative and grumpy programmers. The average user has been running his slackware system since early 1993 and will not give it up 'til his computer (literally) falls apart and there is no compatible computer left in the universe, then he will commit suicide and request to have the picture of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs and some cynical remark about humanity's being unable to RTFM engraved on his tombstone.
Scenario: John gets sued for downloading a movie. John looses his house, all his possessions and additionally gets 2 years in prison. All John's hopes and dreams are swept away. John is now a desperate man. Repeat that statement for a few thousand other people like John.
Now we have a very dangerous thing: Lots of people who doesent care about what happens to them. They have no money, no house, no possesions, no future.
All of the sudden they get organized and decide to declare war on those who took all that away from them.

Some 40 years ago there were scientists that believed we'd have flying cars and a sightseeing trips to mars by now.
My point is that you shouldn't believe everything you read.

Unless they're in orbit they'll crash straight into the planet. And if they do they'll watch the entire globe.

Am i the only one that's bugged by that expression?
If reality is virtual, it isn't reality; hence not true. It's like saying true three-legged bipeds.

Does this mean i won't have to adjust my clock any more? ;)
No, it isn't because of apple making money off hardware.
It's because no sane person would attempt to port a sourcecode the size of MacOSX to another architecture.
