Omry, thanks for the info. Trying to get that to work, but filters don't seem to be working right. I know reg ex's but somehow it's grabbing all shows. Haven't figured out why.
My wife hooked me on 24 a few weeks ago. I found prior years worth of 24 and proceeded to spend WEEKS downloading it. Tied up the computer, other people grouchy because they couldn't log on.
Bittorrent isn't that fast, people grab and run, leaving latecomers with partial downloads.
I don't watch much tv at all, and after downloading all the (to-date) 24 episodes and the entire Battlestar Galactica series, I don't have a desire to download anymore. (those are great shows, btw)
Why? The content sucks. Why bother watching TV? I used to watch home improvement shows, WHEN YOU COULD *ACTUALLY* LEARN SOMETHING and not be subjected to effeminate/drama queen/exploratory artist/fashion flunkee shows.
History Channel is getting stale with the same re-runs. I'm tired of gross-out crap.
I want GOOD QUALITY programming! I feel like so much tv is trash, and would LOVE to have an on-demand selection of good shows with FAST downloads.
Would I pay for it? Probably so. Without DRM, so I can watch it later, if I'm interrupted and want to see it later, or save it for a family gathering later in the week or month.
I also wouldn't mind being able to get episodes of older tv shows that aren't likely to be on bittorrent, like old Carson re-runs, Gilligan's island, Knight Rider (just kidding!), Home Improvement, This Old House, real home improvement shows, etc.
Get it?
Fast downloads. On demand downloads. Good content. Old Content (because it's been downhill for a looong time) Good quality. Good price, not the exhorbitant DVD prices being pushed.
(My kids ruin my DVD's, they take up space, they make a mess, I'd like to have a more simple looking home, without tons of storage for all the DVD's, Hell, I'd like to be able to *FIND* my DVD's! With a search engine! Not by tearing through a closet! Not worrying about bit rot affecting the cost I paid for the disks without any return from stores once opened.)
Besides taking my daughter to work (read the article via mental spatial projection), I tracked down David Levy, called him up, gave him a suggestion to pull on future conference attendees, invited him over for dinner, and am now trying to find the person I stole the cell phone from to make the call. Can anybody help me? She was 5'8", flaming red hair, gorgeous, but missing the one shoe she threw at me and broke the back passenger window....
Batman & Captain Kirk were on to something....

...all the way back in the 60's!
From scripts of totally fictitious episodes of Batman & Star Trek (respectively)
Batman: I....can almost....reach...my...toolbelt. Robin: HolyAmputeeBatman!You'rearmshavebeencutoff! Batma n: Yes, Robin....but with my Bat...Inflato Arms.. Robin: You'rerightBatman!Itotallyforgotaboutthat.
Kirk: Spock....we've lost....enough...red shirts...in one day. Should....we break.... for...a...commerical? Spock: It would seem to be the logical choice, given the lack of subjects for the cameras to focus on. Kirk: As usual Spock...a very,...logical...answer.
How do I install these options on a global basis for all users on my computer? (I'm using the assumption that anything I add into the about:config window under my session only applies to me.)
Is there a global file I should look for or is this against the feature placed in personal preferences about randomized directory paths? (I'm using Mozilla, btw)
So you're telling me that dream I had last night of a mechanical creature feasting on my face and then implanting eggs in my wife was all *JUST* a nightmare?
*shudder*
I couldn't stand to have any more kids - I've got 5 already!
Soon to be seen at your next rodeo...
The ZAP Clown car, complete with inflating air bags to cushion bull strikes. Easy to fit into any NARA barrels!
Only $4995 with an additional option such as tootie horn ($98.88), fake smoke generator ($149.00) and REAL smoke thrown in for free.
Interchangeable panels make for easy repairs for the most descriminating clowns around, who want a night on the town after a day at the pen.
Yours! For a song AND a dance!
If you call now! We'll throw in a CUSTOM clown costume that is compressible to fit behind the front, er, only seats. Machine washable, indestructable and comes with a matching clown nose, inflato shoes and a woopie cushion which doubles for front seat comfort.
Call soon! They're not expected to last long!
Worse than reading the tripe within this article is having to work within it.
I wish I could live long enough to see the reverberations when a CEO is outsourced. Craig or Carly (Fiorina) would be damn good start.
One of my first months there came with a warning from a lady - "Don't let them do to you what they've done to so many others." and "There was a guy I knew who committed suicide last week." I didn't believe her.
After a number of years there, it was obvious that Intel does it's best to isolate each and every person in a grueling deathmatch against everyone else, all in the name of productivity - all while spouting "teamwork" principles.
They'll reward high achieving individuals, but it's extremely hard for anybody who wants a life outside of work - and there have been a large number of ruined families because of it.
Using Winamp video streaming, there's a popular anime series called Love Hina.
In 2-3 sentences, aspiring Tokyo University entrant Keitaro flunks (yet again) his entry exams. With nothing to do with his life, his grandmother invites him down to an all-girls dorm to act as the manager in her absence.
The tension between Keitaro and fellow Tokyo U aspirant Naru (also multiple failings to pass entrance exams) is but one of the recurring plot themes.
Imagine a young guy surrounded by various college age girls and the temptations that follow.
Naru alternates between desiring and denying a relationship with Keitaro with the usual result - he makes a move, she doesn't approve, and she slaps/kicks/punches Keitaro.
Here's where the drinking game comes in. Every time Keitaro is pummeled, you can take a drink. For those who want a little faster path to inebriation, take a drink each time Keitaro flips over (multiple times per punishment).
Guaranteed to work faster than the Star Trek Red Shirt Death drinking game. And the added bonus is that Love Hina is still funny for those who are designated drivers.

What if we could tow a 100 mile iceberg to SE Asia to help with water supplies? Wouldn't that be intense!

You win, they win, porn viewers win. Everybody's a winner! Profit!
Are you sure??? It's kinda hard to tell, but you let me know what you think.
