sure, I read about all that and it apparently doesn't apply to me. I get anything and everything I want, via the net. From foreign TV shows (twelve hour to three day lag) to current movies to 40 year old shows.
An AVI file can contain virtually ANY video and audio format, it's just a type of container format not content. No one will ever make a TV that could play any and every AVI file. There are TV that can play movies in STANDARD file formats and with STANDARD codecs from USB, you could buy one. Did you buy something else?, if not that's your fault. But even if you bought all those WRONG KIND of TV with USB port, you can fix your mistake for nominal sum
I initially read the title as "digital face sitting', thought they had augmented cyberskin robotics with taste and odor transmission. ah well, some day we'll dine at the digital Y
no it isn't. there are TVs that you can plug USB into. of course, you'd have to spend hundreds of dollars to go that way to replace your existing TV. but way I mentioned for $35 can even go to TVs made in last 30 years. your choice.
my wife and her friend do that, via youtube. who the hell in southeast asia violates copyright and records shows and uploads them, I don't know. but there it is. and it's recent stuff, two or three day delay
Sorry, but most electrical and electronic things survived just fine, those were just a *FEW* failures. And that's nonsense that months later radiation did anything to solar arrays, geomagnetic or solar storms did that.
The damage by EMP would be sporadic and unpredictable, not uniformly destructive, the pulse would be shunted harmlessly to ground too often.
None of your arguments or points make sense, you are just nostalgic for buggy-whips. I go to my insurance company or bank's ssl web site and download documents. I get texted notifications of account activity. I can bank by phone. Most mail is "junk mail" which can be done another way (radio, television, internet adds, voluntary subscription to coupon service"), and at any rate doesn't matter if delivered within a week. The USPS is mostly obsolete and for the rest can be cut to 25% of what it is now with no impact since superior alternatives exist in most cases.
the government can't even afford to provide the services it has. The reason for the decline in revenue of the USPS is they are being used *much less*, there are 21st century alternatives for most of what it does, especially for anything you imagine the nation needs. Most mail is business generated "junk mail". That doesn't need next day delivery, in fact once a week would be fine for that recycle-bin fodder. Personal letters? those too can wait a week, if not send an e-mail. Packages? UPS and FEDEX. What vital thing does 1-3 day postage mail do? Nothing, that's what.
you calculated a volume that is completely insignificant to the size of the planet. Amazing how man has made so much of the planet useful, liveable and productive for himself.
oh, is that your fantasy about my sexual orientation? put some lube on that cucumber so you don't chafe your poop chute wanking to your Rubycodez dreaming, by the light of your GNOME-3 desktop-turned-cellphone-UI
bad news for you, Vista has one of those "stupid new UIs" too. Windows 7 is actually somewhat less whacked. But yeah, some major open source projects are doing their damn hardest to kill GNU/Linux on the desktop. Firefox, GNOME, KDE, Ubuntu with Unity....gawd damn, its madness.
where's the extension to take the rest of the SUCKAGE out of GNOME 3, or maybe one to take the SHIT out of the head of the Gnome 3 developers who are ignoring user desires and dictating workflow, what can be displayed at one time, and how screen real estate will be used?

quit whining and spend the $30 or $40 for the right pci card to hook your PC to your TV

I'd be pissed if I was forced to pay taxes for most of the shit that is on television, 80% of BBC content included
of course there would be later strikes, as for example submarines surfaced and fired days later...

You get bills and checks in the *postal mail*??!! man, you're doing it wrongly. I'm all online and EFT with that stuff.

You use discs? It comes 24 hours or more later? how 20th century of you. I use the net.
it runs NetBSD, but it's dying

that's not the point, was only addressing the "pics or it didn't happen" philosophy. I can't know whether the pictures I saw were faked
I've seen them, as have millions of others
two words, nuclear fucking weapons.
China has too few of those to go to the mat with the USA. Russia exaggerates the number of active warheads it can maintain, has half that of the USA.
pictures of his death have been leaked
steam is an apps store for video games. it also is getting into console market.
Clem and team are trying very hard, Mint 12 is still rough though thus far. maybe by Mint 13 they'll have it smoothed
