    Don't worry, they'll make an amendment in a few years to fix this "outdated error" and then we'll all be terrorists.

    I wish I were joking.

    Redundancy methods such as this ensure that they can make it say whatever the hell they want if it ever comes into question. :p

    You make DBZ clip into 5-minute masterpiece by taking out the "powering up" Actually, you're left with about 2 minutes of useable footage.


    I think useable is a bit of a stretch when it comes to DBZ..

    Ok well it's still not that complex at all:

    Right because the average user doesn't know how to open the Options window, let alone actually read anything written in plain English.
    We need to implement large brightly coloured buttons all up and down the window border with large pictures and option descriptions...

    Or possibly they didn't hide it from you. You like most people in this world, just couldn't be bothered to even think about looking for it.

  8. hmm.. on MythTV Scheduling Service Reveals Pricing · · Score: 0

    We know that many of you are waiting on the edge of your seats to find out what's going on behind the scenes here, and we're just as excited to tell you, but we can't give you many details while we are still involved in negotiations. We can, however, let you know that we are actively working on a solution that will provide what we hope will be a smooth transition away from Zap2it Labs by the September 1 deadline.


    This is their news from July^

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't call 15$ for 3 months a "smooth" transition. I call it an ass-raping.
    Aside from MythTV, nearly every Linux based TV info grabber is powered by the xml_tv parser (as well as some ***dows and Mac based grabbers).
    So now all those software titles are useless to people in the US who can't/won't shell out money for a service that's been provided for quite some time.

    Fact of the matter is this sort of service should be bundled with cable TV/Internet subscriptions.
    This way the consumer is already paying for the information and can use it in more ways than just through the cable box.

    That's my 2cents.

  13. And the stupid live longer. on Nissan Turns to Technology to Stop Drunk Driving · · Score: 0

    I just can't be ok with something that subverts natural selection.
    Laws and technology have gotten to the point where they completely harbor the likes of those who would normally off themselves in really stupid ways.

    There's nothing wrong with these folks living, don't get me wrong. The problem occurs when they breed and make stupid offspring.

    Oh fuck this.

    My ignorant country needs to stop tying to be the thought-police and fix some real issues.

    Nevermind the fact that there are more students than there are SEATS in many classrooms across the nation, no no no, it's much more important to put content filtering systems in place instead of working out the already existing problems.

    What do you think I'm reading these comments with? ^_^

    But seriously, the Average Joe user doesn't even know about alternative fonts.
    Half the time he/she doesn't even know there is any relation to fonts and viewing webpages, or hell that fonts even exist outside of MS Word.

    Average Joe is font locked by his/her own ignorance.
