I am constantly amazed by the absolutely shocking decisions made in relation to the TiVo.
It is an outstanding product that could have made an absolute fortune, but has been totally hobbled by a insane business model and pathetic marketing.
Shame.
Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far
during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."
2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."
4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.
5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."
6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."
8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."
9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses
them...
Ahhhh, I see, I apologise for my lunacy. Not being american I have only heard of John Madden, not actually heard him.
I seem to remember an announcer at the sydney olympics saying about a tennis player...."And before every match, his wife kisses his balls for good luck."
So what you are saying is if it's good, it's good, but if it turns out bad, it is going to turn out bad? ummmm, Rock on dude!
Any other interesting and blatantly obvious observations.
Fucking hell, you can tell it's monday. Bunch of pedantic shits.
On your rags? Didn't get laid last night??? Fell asleep on your hand and couldn't have a wank?
Ok, a PC is a PC, but you are obviously being pedantic and pathetic, you knew what I meant.
And if you want to be really pedantic, a square is not a rectangle, a square is a square, an object with four equal length sides, and 90 degree internal corners. A 3D square is a cube. A rectangle is an object with 2 sides of one length, and 2 sides of another length, with all corners at 90 degrees. And if you want to be very pedantic, it would read "A square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are not squares you gor your wording wrong.
And as for Linux video driver, they suck, They are slow, I know this from years of Linux use.
But I want to play half life.
I understand that OS projects take a huge deal of time to get off the ground, but lets face facts, PS2/Cube/Xbox/PC are all gaming platforms. Linux is not, it was never designed as a gaming platform and probably never will be as long as video card manufacturers refuse to open source their drivers.
What is the point of porting games to a platform if the likelyhood of them working is minimal.
I fully support the idea of trying to make linux a gaming platform, and would dearly love to see it. But IMHO it's not going to happen.
I know not many of you RTFA, but is it just me, or is it really poorly written?
I mean, how many paragraphs does the dude need in it.
Maybe he needs a scalable language assimilation solution.

Unproven theory???
Are you saying creationism is a proven theory?
Black holes, the big bang, string theory etc, they are all unproven.
It is pretty bloody obvious to anyone with a scientific mind that evolution is the way it is, it really does not need proving does it?
Creationism is for narrow minded, short sighted people who need a (unproven) crutch.
So this gives us more driver issues, more crud, bloat, shit, bluescreens, and generally more of a way to slow down our computers.
Once again microsoft, cheers.
I'm a volunteer Fire Fighter, I do it because I choose to help, it's not nice sometimes, but I still do it.
And I understand perfectly what rights are, You're just being pedantic and I really don't want to get into a conversation based around symantics.
Fine, when the author is laying sprawled over the bonnet of his car with a windscreen embedded in his face and a steering wheel in his groin, maybe he'll rethink his story. "It's my civil rights"
Sure it is, it's also my civil rights to call him a fucktard, Shouldn't he consider the rights of the people who scrape up these arse-hats?
I'm a fire fighter, and we are constantly cutting dead and fucked up people out of cars, the worst ones are the idiots who don't wear seatbelts.
Don't tie down your WiFi, you are leaving yourself open, same for storing social security numbers and personal info on a college computer system. 30,000 students??? there is bound to be one cleverer than the sysop/security guy.
This sort of stuff is pathetic, and there is absolutely no f'ing need for it to happen.
I think salinity has a huge deal to do with it.
Salinity kills everything around, making dry, arid country, the heat from the sun during the day builds up in the ground, and gets released at night, obviously if there is a hot updraft, it prevents rain or clouds from forming. If it gets hot enough (As it does where I am) the updraft actually pushes the clouds aside, and the precipitation falls over places of less thermal value, i.e. the sea.

redundant. Why?

And Marriages.... Actually, maybe he's right.....
Sounds like a new performance vehicle.
I have an ATi Radeon. Where are my open source drivers?

Hahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ad infinitum ad naseum.
The other message tone, special or whatever it is, is actually Nokias slogan in Morse.
No, it just means you are not a mobile phone (Cell phone) wanker.... they do still exist.

Is that why people who have their SMS tone turned right up are normally of low IQ???? th ... -- ... SMS tone must turn of their mental capabilities.
Sorry to reply to my own post, but if these people are looking for sympathy, it's between shit and syphilis in the dictionary....
