Nevertheless, "only 18-21 minutes for commercials" with 1:2 ratio is just sick, don't you think? Especially for paid cable services.
I'd assume your post was intended to be ironic, but the mods didn't notice.
Umm, this is being done already. It obviously sucks, but some people find it usable. Tried that when writing an article on p2p weird stuff.

Remember, guys, there are countries where MS services aren't very extensively used.
Take Poland for example (I'm from Poland). MS operating system and office suite are as popular as anywhere in the world, agreed. But MSN? Not used, hardly recognized. Hotmail? Nah, not known, and if known, considered 'this all-time-spammed thingy'. Messenger? People just get annoyed with this icon in their systrays, literally *nobody* uses this app. And I mean the masses, these totally non-techie Sixpacks.
I believe Poland is not that very different from other countries at ~similar stage of development.
OTOH, everyody uses Google. Everybody uses Gmail (or wants to), perhaps due to that 'elite' feeling (invitations?). Google Maps/Earth are very, umm, hype.
Other thing is, nobody here considers Google a corporation, really. People are just not aware (imagine!) Google's here to make money.
A good point.
This one might be redundant, but here in Poland (a part of EU now, for those who don't know -- a subject, not an object;)) we have our scientists grown a hemp species that contains under 0.30% of THC per mass (can smoke, but cannot get stoned ever;P). It had to be done due to legal regulations that don't allow industrial growing(?) of plants that reach that quantity.
The point is, it CAN be done without any influence on, whatever you call it, the society. It's cheap, can be grown almost anywhere and, besides all, it would work for us if forests didn't belong to the state/government. Almost perfect source of energy (name it as you wish, it's just cheaper).
By the way and off-topic: our scientists managed to do the same thing with poppy (the most popular basis for opium/heroine, synthethics aside). The variation is called "Mieszko".
Sorry for no links, they're all in Polish.

Umm. No Top 40's in my country. Top 10s, Top 100s, even Top Fives -- but no Top 40s :). Is this somehow related to Imperial system?
You forgot Poland :D.

Nuff said.

Weird, isn't it?
I suppose you should have posted it to your nearest Microsoft's Customer Service office.
Tried that in Poland -- just doesn't work (how come?);).

And all this turn based? Gosh, can't stand waiting for this one.
