  6. Of course only inside US on ABC Launches Full Episode Streaming · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Luckily I have a us proxy - so I can see. I must say, I am hoping for this, I would love to see tv networks open up, but until the advertising model also opens up, and this is in the best interest to all networks... then we will see ip filters like this.

    If channels can truly go global, we can all share same programming, and only taste and language will segment the audience, and thus, the budget.

    Networks will realise this soon, and some body will work to give more free access to channels, probably large international brands opening it up - we need to work out different laws and timezones also - the 9pm watershed (UK unofficial parental guideline) means very little if you are on the east coast. Or in Portugal.

    But, you US guys, wait 'til you see Dutch TV. zomg!

    Still bitter people don't mention GNU when talking about linux (which is daft, I should call it kernel/tools/windowmanager/fonts/colors/homepage or something? Its Linux. That is the name that has been misappropriated for the whole kaboodle.)

    Poor innocent fool. It costs more to ensure the right tapes get cleaned and ensuring the integrity of the tape than it is to use new tapes. The only issue is storage, but that is easily solved by throwing all backup tapes directly into the refuse bins.

    If anything does happen, you can dumpster dive to recover your user data, or at worse, pay some homeless people to find the tapes in the landfill.

    That is what I would do.

    I am right, please take you people and starve while I take over you city
    if no:
    I am wrong, but I will slaughter your people anyway

    You see, conflict can be easily resolved with more conflict.

    Backups, contain email that aren't deleted lets say. Then, you delete one. Since disks are expensive, let pretend backups are done on cheaper high capacity media. Which get placed in fire proof boxes, locked and placed at the bottom of a brokwn staircase in a disused toilet with a sign saying beware of the leopard.

    I know because I used to run backups on yahoo mail. Which is a lie, but my lies are worth more than your truths.

  25. visceral visceral visceral visceral visceral on Shock Game Advertising · · Score: 1

    26 times in this article. Twenty Six times. Here are twenty six less academic and more common words for visceral.

    Wikpedia: Visceral literally refers to the viscus - the internal organs of an animal.

    The term is now often used in a more metophorical sense; a visceral response is one that arises more from instinct or emotion than from rational thought.


    10 other ways to express the concept of a physiological response.

    So here goes: Emotional, subconscious [is the subconscious tied to visceral ticks?], gut-feeling, persuasive, heart-felt, feeling, intuition, primal, urge, desire.

    OK, IANAT (Thesaurus), but I do not appreciate the vesceral response I got from reading that word twenty six times.
