However, according to reviews I've read, the documentation for the TV2000 XP blows. Furthermore, I did not get the impression that the TV2000 lets you record radio, just listen. The RadioShark lets you record (which is my main priority).
As it is, the RadioShark looks like something to go on my "Buy One Of These Days" lists, as I often end up missing Dr. Demento, and "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me".
However, my big question is with compression and editing. One of the radio shows I'd be recording would be a morning show I enjoy, the Mark & Brian show. However, rather than keeping the bits I don't want, how well does editing the recorded files work?
Add to the fact that they've been suing EVERYONE that uses the name Monster in their businesses lately - Monster.com being the most notorious. Fuck 'em and their chitty cables.
I haven't heard about this before. Do you have a link to an article about this?
You forgot to check off an item in the "Specifically, your plan fails to account for" section. I believe the elgible one would be "Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves" (as mentioned by the various people who commented that some spammers have been using pr0n sites to harvest the words used in this form of validation).
Ahh, that would be the unfortunately OOP "Orcs at the Gates". I really wish I could find a copy of that. I haven't checked E-Bay yet. I've been semi-hesitant, beacuse I'm concerned about pieces being missing.
Eagle Games is (or so I've heard) a pretty good games company as well. I'v heard good things about some of their recent products, including Blood Feud in New York an (Organized Crime) Empire Building game, which looks like everything "Gangsters: Organized Crime" could have been if it didn't have the clunky interface (especially in the real-time portions).
A similar thing to this has been done, albiet in a different franchise. Adam Ryland, creator the popular freeware Wrestling Booking Sim "Extreme Warfare Revenge" put out a commerchal version of the game recently (with better graphics and many, many, many more useful features). While the free games used the names (and pictures) of real wrestlers from various indy feds and the WWE, the pay game did not use the names of real wrestlers, for legal reasons.
Umm... were' not talking about sticky labels here. We're talking about a special, dye-coated layer on the label-side of the disk. Once you've burned your CD you stick the disk, label side down in the drive. You tell the computer your design, and it will "burn" the image (through a photochemical reaction rather than actually burning away the dye) onto the surface of the disk. No sticky lables that can get stuck in the CD player involved at any time.
RTFA.

I typoed. Grandparent should read "jaded rock fan".
I accidentially hit the wrong button. But to answer your thought. Bands do want radio play. Their "Early Adopter" fans don't want them to get radio play, because that is one of the definations of "Selling Out."
Translation... "Back in my day games weren't popular so studios didn't have to worry about making games that would sell to lots and lots of people, and games weren't cutting cutting edge."
As one of my favorite radio show hosts would put it. Booooooooooooooooogus! Nowadays, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake 1 & 2, Doom (the original) aren't cutting edge. However, back then, guess what, they were! Sure you didn't need to keep upgrading your computer's graphics card, but that's because, generally, there wasn't one, at least not one you could upgrade.
The times have changed now. You don't like that companies can make better graphics cards and gaming companies are taking advantage of the new technology? Tough.
You don't like bad games, then read reviews. Ther are enough review sites out there that you should be able to get enough information to make a decision.
Don't like how gaming's growing mainstream? Well, then grow up. It was going to happen anyway and all your whining won't change it. While I do deplore how monotonious the gaming industry is getting (how many Vietnam-based shooters did we have the last couple years again?), your whining makes you sound like some jaded rock band saying "All my favorite bands sell out" because one of his bands got radio play.
And, we don't have Self-serve in Oregon, so there are kind people who will pump your gas. Also, depending on the gas station, they may wash your windows, and do a better job than the homeless guy who runs out in front of your car at a intersection with a squeegie.
Colonization was great. I like AC more, but Colonization was really good. The one thing I didn't like about Colonization was that I was constantly getting owned when I had to go to war. That and I could never get an embassy or something so I could send my shipping to other countries.
Well, I had some serious problems in Civ III with this. Specifically, I always end up a long ways away from the Iron. If I'm lucky, I get one group of Iron. If I'm unlucky, my opponents get the Iron & I don't.
Hell, I'd just like to see a Civ-style (note: this means turn-based) game that has you running an organized crime family, like Blood Feud in New York. Every sort of mob-boss sim I've seen has been real time or a combination of real-time and turn-based (like "Gangsters: Organized Crime") and it didn't work too well. A turn based game would work a lot better, IMHO.
Turn Based strategy games like Civilization & Axis and Allies have this problem too. Often, in CivIII, My opponents not only end up with guns faster then me, but also with more Iron I have.
Frankly, IMO, a large portion of verbal/.ers who post in YRO articles tend to lean not towards pro-democracy, communism, or socialism, but more towards anarchy.
They don't seem like law enforcement in any form, governments in any form, businesses in any form, or the concept of money. I'm waiting for a slashdotter to, in all seriousness, say that it was a mistake to go from being a hunter-gatherer culture to an agrarian culture. (Note: A friend told me Jared Diamand did a book with that as the thesis. I have not read it, so that might not be the case.)

Need I remind you that 85% of statistics can be easily distorted...

However, the hardware requirements for the board game are lower.
I was refrenceing the play "A Doll House" by Norwegan playwright Henrik Ibsen. One of the main characters in the play is named Torvald.
Well, that depends. If he was named "Torvalds", would your wife think he was named after a character from a play?
However, as the game allowed for stat editing, there were soon "stat updates" from various groups like RaveX included stats for the WWE's roster, and rosters of such feds as Ring Of Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance-Total Nonstop Action, Stampede Wrestling, and even Juggalo Championshit Wrestling. I could see this happening with a PC game (and I believe this has happened with some of the PC managament sims.) I'm not so sure how this would work with a console game.

You forgot Wanker's Corner (which used to be a bar and a general store, but is now just a general store because the bar moved to Wilsonville).

Getting OT slightly here, is there a version of the MPlayer plugin for Windows users?
I'm thinking of one that distinguishes them from geeks. There is a psychological difference.
