  1. Hotels? on Maine Court Hears Case On E-Mail Privacy · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that I won't be able to check into hotels as Abe Froman any more?

  3. Make sure that you are insured... on Tiny Aircraft Feeds Itself With Dead Flies · · Score: 1

    Old Lady #1: When my ex-husband passed away, the insurance company said his policy didn't cover him.

    Old Lady #2: They didn't have enough money for the funeral.

    Old Lady #3: It's so hard nowadays, with all the gangs and rap music..

    Old Lady #1: What about the robots?

    Old Lady #4: Oh, they're everywhere!

    Old Lady #1: I don't even know why the scientists make them.

    Old Lady #2: Darren and I have a policy with Old Glory Insurance, in case we're attacked by robots.

    Old Lady #1: An insurance policy with a robot plan? Certainly, I'm too old.

    Old Lady #2: Old Glory covers anyone over the age of 50 against robot attack, regardless of current health.

    Sam Waterson: I'm Sam Waterston, of the popular TV series "Law & Order". As a senior citizen, you're probably aware of the threat robots pose. Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel. Well, now there's a company that offers coverage against the unfortunate event of robot attack, with Old Glory Insurance. Old Glory will cover you with no health check-up or age consideration. You need to feel safe. And that's harder and harder to do nowadays, because robots may strike at any time.

    And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free.. because they're made of metal, and robots are strong. Now, for only $4 a month, you can achieve peace of mind in a world full of grime and robots, with Old Glory Insurance. So, don't cower under your afghan any longer. Make a choice. Old Glory Insurance. For when the metal ones decide to come for you - and they will.

  6. Re:TiVo could simply change their software a bit.. on Network Scheduling to Mess with Tivo · · Score: 1

    This is not true. If you add padding to the end of one show such that it ends after another begins, then a conflict is created and the second show will not record. The only way around this is to set up a manual record for the second show which defeats the purpose of a PVR. As much as I love ReplayTV (I have 2), it does not have any advantage over Tivo in this area.

    It's a good thing that we are going to let the Hubble fall into disrepair. All of these new discoveries mean that we will have to keep revising our Science textbooks and that is an expense that our school systems cannot afford. At least when that damn telescope stops working we will can content that we know all that it is possible to know without the burden of having to keep up with these new "facts."

  24. Re:Replay has been doing this for a couple years on TiVo Will Stream Content From The Web · · Score: 1

    Sure, you could obtain Premium shows for free but that is not how it is "intended" to be used. It is great for finding shows that you missed for various reasons (power outage, premptions, etc.) It is also great when you find a show that you like, you can get previous episodes without having to wait for reruns. The people who are trying to get The Sopranos for free are going to be the ones who ruin it for everyone.

    5000 series still had IVS but it was dropped from the 5500. It is possible to "reactivate" the feature via some software tools or if you reimage the hard drive with a 5000 series image. Since most people replace the hard with a larger one, this is pretty simple to do at that time.
