I haven't really been interested in this before, but DO recording digital receivers exist NOW? I use AudioHijackPro (www.rogueamoeba.com) on my G4 now; but the computer's got to draw a lot more power than a dedicated receiver. Anybody own one?
I'm no great fan of Bush, however I can appreciate him for his tolerance of the comedy and parody directed against his office and his mannerisms.
IMO: colbert came-off as a tiresome asshole and I wonder who 'owed him money' - they could have picked someone competent.
...I'm pretty sure that your car's defrosters don't make any icy buildups slide off in large chunks instantly
Yeah, and the 'icy buildups' on _my_ windshields don't appear to be pounds-heavy solid square blocks that look like they're only adhering to the glass because someone laid a piece of warm glass on an ice block in a freezer.
A conformal, self-supporting coating of ice isn't going to drop off as prettily as his ice blocks do. Next winter: go sit in an iced-over car and start up the defroster. It doesn't take a lot of time to get the ice to release (even with warm air on the other side of the glass compared to a coating on the ice-side). You also have to disturb enough supporting ice to that the layer will slide off (not to mention having to break the 'suction' of surface against surface.
Electrically conductive coatings on glass is nothing new and it only takes the smallest time for the heated coating to melt a thin interlayer to release the ice. AND, that coating HAS to have a protective overcoat because if the oxide coating gets a scratch then it interrupts the current and you get higher current densities around the ends of the scratch and accelerated breakdown and arcing.
I used to work for a gov't contractor that supplied doors, windows, wipers, heated windows, etc. to the USN & USCG. Heated windows (non-icing for bridge & flight ops) were the biggest part of our business.
DID YOU KNOW: "Venus" is the only song in the history of the Billboard charts to hit number one three times (first time on February 7, 1970 [by Shocking Blue], second time on June 20, 1981 by "Stars On 45"; third time on September 6, 1986 by Bananarama).

If our manned program failed as much as the unmanned, we'd have given up long ago.
How long did it take to recover from 'frozen O-rings"? How long will it take to recover from shreddable foam (that could have been fixed BEFORE it did some real damage)? How many Russian-rent-a-rides will there have to be to the "space station"? "Yeh, you betcha - we'll git back t' thet ther moon in the nex' hunnert years r'so"? (gwb)
We're giving up like the anecdotal frog in the slowly-warming water...
I gave up on BT for the same reason - while I have 5Mbps down on my cable modem I only have a 20-25Kbps upload. And, AFAIK, BT only gives you as much as you can pass on packet-by-packet.
If you think people hate MS now, suing Linux companies and users would most likely quadruple the quantity and quality of the hate.
Yeah, BUT: the proles that buy most of the computers are too stupid to know about all this. They'll buy 'microsoft boxes' just because they don't know any better.

Okay, then: how much do you want for it?

Anonymous speech means that you don't have to _prove_ your assertions - kind of like an anon-posting here.
Any time there is a fear of the consequences of being identified, then freedom is inhibited.
If you're afraid of the consequences of your words and actions, well then... (shrug)
Um, haven't you been watchin' all the noisy beaners marching all over hell-and-gone on the news today?

So, then, would a blowup be a good thing, or a bad thing?

"Audio Hijack Pro" (http://www.rogueamoeba.com) works great in OSX. There's nothing I haven't been able to record.
Oh, you SO need these:s wf

Then you have met my supervisor (in title only)!
Yeah - and ray nagin will just bitch all over the place that nobody's takin' the tech down south to help him rebuild his New Orleans-ian utopia.

Who the f*ck was the patent reviewer that let "time warping" get by? Yeah, real specific that.
It keeps bumping into the screen? And then dies on the windowsill?
Ever see this: http://www.armytimes.com/print.php?f=1-292236-2336 437.php ?
"IT manager"? Looks more like "city manager" - most of the same title; 5% of the intelligence, 1000% more ass-headed.

Um, aren't late Adopotors [sic], by definition, dead?
Does Ken know about this? (woo hoo!)
Yeah, BUT: the proles that buy most of the computers are too stupid to know about all this. They'll buy 'microsoft boxes' just because they don't know any better.
Even worse: having an obit that says george clooney performed in a movie based upon an idea from one of SJL's works. THAT'S baaad!
