The term's already been redefined. Breadth - despite popular misconception - has little or no direct bearing on network speed.
Sometimes unreliable, the Wikipedia entry on the term "Broadband" is fairly enlightening on the topic - particularly in defining both the term, and its various relative contexts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband
I buy no Disney. They are cultural programming of the lowest order. You want a rotten child? Let them watch Disney channel 2 hours a day.
If you could contrive propaganda aimed at undermining basic human values, specifically that of respect, you could do no better than to come up with this garbage. It is particularly detrimental to the child / parent relationship - always portrayed as a way to manipulate or deceive the old buffoons.
I once knew an "airbender". We called him "The Last Windbreaker". He claimed it had something to do with enzymes, and digestion. The breakdown of vegetable material in the greater intestine was mentioned.
As far as first impressions? He didn't make a good one - let's leave it at that.
You knew what they were up to when Watson was still in charge. He didn't rename the company "American Business Machines". The Nazi banks ran on equipment he sold them. The Nazi rockets were modeled mathematically on equipment he sold them.
The ethnic populations were CERTAINLY tabulated by the Nazis. On equipment he sold them.
Funny. I know Jews who won't ride in a Volkswagen, but make sure iBM is in their portfolio.
So, screw Godwin, and screw INTERNATIONAL Business Mahines.
I enjoy listening to reruns of classic "My Word" episodes; laughing an=t the verbal antics of Denis Norden and Frank Muir, while punctuating the pauses in in banter by loudly breaking wind.
But I wouldn't want to do so for very long at a time. Surely the weekend is sufficient for this!
What was left unsaid, unexplored, unpadded, etc. in the original Doug Adams volumes? As a series, they were one book too long as it stood, really.
The creme was in the two BBC radio series, and the material was presented it its most delightful and appealing way in this format.
The books were little more than these programmes, padded with the narrative required to contextualize in written form. It's my belief that they suffered under this treatment. Certainly, they labored the humor - without the excellent timing and auditory cues, which were integral.
So. A good author now contributes a mediocre and unnecessary addition to an entertaining body of work, derived with some encumbrance from a superior and lively original radio play. To reiterate my original question, what had not yet been mined from that vein? What had not yet been wrung and worried from that corpus?
Oh, yes. More publishing revenues.
I think the Python's were quite good at satirizing this sort of thing - and Adams would have a good turn at it, himself: "The Contractual Obligation Beyond the Reasonable End of the Universe", or so.
I find highly offensive you suggestion that styles of writing may be subject to gimmickry and impersonation. I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about the broadcast, and am deeply dismayed at the judgment displayed by the BBC in funding and producing such rubbish. Many of my best friends groom haddock and other north Atlantic fishes and only a few of them are transvestites.
Yours faithfully, Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong (Mrs.)

Something small and quiet just died...
Gotcha. Thanks.
And if you don't like it, move back where your grandfather came from!
We shall do just FINE here, in the company of Voltaire and Jefferson.
"He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'" or "Doctor Love"?
I'm not confused! I see you only confirming my assertions. Unless that is in itself, confusion...
BROADband?

Disney is death.
Oh, about 1948, or so.
Just one word:

I think they are pulling a better trick:
Turning bogus notions into riches extracted from taxpayers.
