Excellent points. As a windows user since 3.0, I finally reached my limit and installed Linux Mint on my personal machines. LM has some issues (grumblesoundgrumble), but the overall annoyance level is clearly lower than win10.
I can see the subscription model for windows up by 2020 - time to get out now.
Best thing about this: The Holiday Special is going to eventually be released now on DVD, then in a 'Special Edition'. Disney can also blackmail Ford into appearing in the reboot - "What's that, Mr. Ford? You're not interested in appearing? Very well. As an alternative, would you like to team up with Bruce Vilanch to provide commentary on the Special Edition?"
Uh, ok. I had watched the program on first-run on CBS way back when, and was lucky enough to be living in Silicon Valley when KTEH ran the series. I was surprised that the KTEH work by Apel was so widely circulated. Good excuse to pull my old tape of DNFMOMD and give it a rewatch.
Having said that, I was trying to provide a service to potential fans of my favorite series of all time. Sorry to upset you.
The PBS station in San Jose reran the series about 20 or so years ago. Scott Apel hosted bumpers before and after the series, which greatly enhanced the viewing. The biggest move was his re-ordering of the episodes into a sequence that made more sense than the CBS original run, in particular. The re-ordering went as follows:
Arrival
Dance of the Dead
Checkmate
Free for All
The Chimes of Big Ben
Many Happy Returns
The Schizoid Man
The General
A, B and C
It's Your Funeral
Living in Harmony
Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling
A Change of Mind
Hammer Into Anvil (my favorite ep)
The Girl Who Was Death
Once Upon a Time
Fall Out
In this order, the series consists of three cycles. Cycle one (ending with Many Happy Returns) focuses on #6 trying to escape. Cycle two (ending with Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling) focuses on 'intrigue in The Village' as #6 adjusts to his captivity. The final cycle consists of #6 taking charge and subverting The Village from within. Continuity is also improved in this sequencing.
And yes, #6 does have a name: Carl (his fiancee would know his name, after all).
Regarding MLB free agency, the courts did nothing at all. An arbitrator (Peter Seitz) ruled that the reserve clause meant exactly what it said it did, and that players could become free agents after one year if they did not sign a contract. It was a strategy crafted by Marvin Miller that took years to execute. I would highly recommend his book, 'A Whole Different Ball Game' to those interested in a history quite different than what has been offered by the corporate media.
Son, you do not want to get on a police shitlist. This will impact your life in a Very Bad Way for years to come.
Best to do it from the computer of someone that you genuinely despise. This makes it a 2-for-1 when the cops and their associates go after the other guy.
Thanks for the updates -- with so little in the way of good things happening on various political and legal fronts, it is great that you spend the time to keep fellow readers informed and encouraged.
Is there anything that could now be defined as 'unreasonable' search or seizure? At this point, it really seems as if any objections are automatically overridden by either of:
1) If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.
2) Wartime conditions rule (The War On Terror).
There does not seem to be any way of stopping the express train to the complete implementation of authoritarian capitalism.
When you talk to people close to the campaign about this, they say stuff like: "Come on, who really cares about that issue? Does anyone think the left is going to vote for McCain rather than Obama? This was a hard question. We tried to get it right. And anyway, the FISA compromise in the bill was a good one."
This was the first licensed NFL game. It allowed play selection from a playbook of ~20 plays, and allowed a few other touches like two-minute mode.
Graphics consisted of Xs and Os moving around in an overhead shot -- very impressive for the time. A company called XOR marketed it.
Another way is to:
1) Load DVD into player
2) Wait 5 minutes or so
3) Turn on TV (or switch to DVD feed)
The first thing you will see is the start menu.
Not ideal, but if you don't have the coin for a new player....
Another poster had a great idea: Ask the telemarketer "What are you wearing?" I've tried this a few times and this does stop them in their tracks, with no followup calls.

F.lux cools the display at night (less blue) and is fully customizable. I have been using it for a few weeks - free, and well worth a try.

Syfy should be spoken as "see fee" as in see fee tee vee.
Please, please, someone forward this to Jim Sinegal.
Nice try, white devil. If you were really Chinese, the paraphrase would have read "you", not "your". ESL Chinese rarely say otherwise.

You laugh, but I'd buy the comic, and the day may come when sales projections become irresistible.

Could someone offer an example of receiving little (as opposed to no) warning?

'Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying' can hardly be topped for pathos.
It turned out that 49 of the 51 vodkas used the same alcohol base purchased from ADM; 2 others (Belvedere and something else) used their own potatoes.
With 'premium' vodkas, all you are paying for is the bottle design. The story of Grey Goose tells all.

1) Buy comparable cables from Chinese mfr for ~$3 each.
2) Tart them up with bright/shiny colors, etc.
3) Have third-party lab compare your cable to the Denon.
4) Advertise your $20 cable as just as good/better than the $500 cable.
5) Prrrrrrrrrofit!!
Mr. Scalia and his associates will modify that (or any other) precedent whenever it suits their purposes.
And 'Mr. Scalia' is correct; 'Justice Scalia' is an oxymoron.
All of the security theater contributes to swifter compliance by sheeple with more draconian rules when the next event occurs.

In addition, the vocalist on the chorus was Melissa Manchester...probably NatLamp's second best recording, after Missing White House Tapes.

Actually, the new categories are: 1. Guilty 2. Innocent 3. Guilty unless proven innocent
