I have sent multiple suggestions to Tivo on this very matter. I often run into it around sporting events that run for 3+ hours. For instance, when one of the tennis Grand Slams are on, I won't to record every broadcast minute that isn't being occupied by one of my higher priority programs. That way, when my thirty-minute sitcom comes on, it can stop recording tennis, record the show, and resuming recording tennis without me having to painfully setup manual recording times.
Tivo could fix it with a simple "Record Partial Programming" option... if they wanted to./ds
LoC/minutes is a horrible measurement. With all the trashy romance novels, self-help, and diet books being published every day, we'll still be at a LoC/15 minutes in a millennia from now.
We can't seem to handle driving in 2D much less in 3D. To even get to 3D driving, drivers will have to give up a lot of their control and freedom over their vehicles. Vehicles would most likely be under some form of control by the Department of Motor Vehicles (for those in the States), which would allow them to track individuals' movements (of course, strong wording would indicate that it wouldn't be tracked AND if it was, it would be totally confidential).
Vehicles may fly in the near future, but it'll take much longer for the infrastructures to be put into place and even longer for the people's trust.
