A test drive is a restricted, limited use version of the full experience. There is nothing like this for legal downloads of music, if you're lucky you get a 30 second extract.
Actually the legal downloads, with their reduced sound quality and DRM restrictions, resemble test drives rather than the final product.
Just phoned the Seattle Apple store, which claims to be the largest in the north west US, and they don't have the new iBooks in stock and don't know when they will. This is pretty much how the iPod releases have happened, nothing in stock and you have to keep phoning if you want to find out when.
Dunno about the Dish version but with Tivo I'd just enter the name as a wishlist and when the programme appears in the listings it would be scheduled for recording.
They're only returning them in order to get their fee back; if there was no 'trial' period they'd keep the names and just let them expire in a year or so.
You're reading a page, you click a link and it opens into six tabs, you find the one which is 'correct' and start reading that. You've left the original tab open, plus the ones after the page you're now reading. At some point there's another link, which in turn opens into another six tabs. So now you've perhaps 10 tabs to search through to find the one with the information from the link you just clicked on that you want to read.

100% true story from an on-line photo developer I used to work at.
Very angy person phones the customer support line to complain that we were spying on what he takes photographs of; what he does in his home is his business and if he wants to photograph it then why should we be bothered. This goes on for a very long time with threats of legal action, etc. The support person explains that the photos are checked for the quality of the development and as long as children aren't involved then we don't comment. Of course the mention of kiddie pr0n just sends him higher into orbit.
Finally he calms down enough to get the full story out. He'd received a CD of his prints, put it in, and yes - there came the message that he'd performed an illegal act. Luckily it was a non-technical person he was talking to, so she could explain it without cracking up.
Little Britain, 15 Storeys, Boosh - all Radio 4 programmes, and can be caught on BBC7 or bought on CD from Amazon. If only there was a site listing radio programmes...

I used to work at a place where we had a fridge full of beer, with the rule that drinking was only allowed after 5pm.
We then changed the rule so that it could be after 5pm in any time zone in the world.

Radio?
Not shipping until August 4th last time I checked.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
I agree it's annoying that radio details aren't there, that would make my life easier.
Recommendations based on writers and producers/directors would be useful. That would be more accurate than keywords for the descriptions.
Dunno about the Dish version but with Tivo I'd just enter the name as a wishlist and when the programme appears in the listings it would be scheduled for recording.
Where are the listings? I've done a quick look but can't find anywhere on the BBC site that presents them as XML.
So what's new about downloading the radio schedules, building a database, and creating a website from it?
A kitten bred for research use in labs will cost about $200 a pound.
So do the terms and conditions for using AIM include that they can do anything they want with the database?
Are you sure they weren't crop circles?
It's the Macca version from Live8.
TFA does mention the cost of Beethoven.
Not because they had everyones name, but because getting new names would cost than they could expect to make back.
The click should be because you want to go to the page which is advertising, not because you want to aid the site you came from.

I think you can group together the income from all your sites.
If you have a hundred sites all getting a couple of dollars a day you've got a nice income.
The work involved will be mimimal, perhaps a day or two, and once it's done you need never do it again.
It could grow like a hydra.

But you will be going blind.
