    Simple concept with a huge barrier to overcome, but still a simple concept. ...says the marketing guy to the engineer. ;) If you are not in marketing, you should be.

  6. Re:The Register also has a story about this on Networks and Studios Against PVRs · · Score: 1

    Moderator, the link above to old story about goat sex should not be rated 'informative' as it is showing as I post this.

  7. Re:We may have the year 2000 Darwin award winner! on Inventor Building Rocket In Backyard · · Score: 1

    This is clearly a case of natural evolution beyond the balloon powered lawn chair. He gets my vote for the irrepressible human spirit which soars above the rest of us.
