  3. Re:Public Radio on Traditional Radio Endangered By New Tech · · Score: 1
    I remember installing a device that removed "umm..." and "dead air" from the announcer's speech just so they could slide in an extra commercial or two over a one hour period.

    Too bad you couldn't have hooked it up backwards... Editing out the commercials and replacing them with whatever was going on in the control room during the break.

    "Bah!", says I.

    You have all this new hardware capability and you refuse to do anything new with it. Buncha slackers, imho.

    The process can be understood without touching on how the process started.

    You do not have similar problems because when fundamentalist prodestentism reared its malformed head in England, you sensibly lopped it off, mounted it on a pike, and sent the rest of them packing off to America.

    Thanks alot! (jerks)

    The revolution will not be televised.
    And before you get any ideas, it will not be podcast either.
    Look very carefully at the tools you use to defeat the machine.
    The matrix has you.

  19. Re:The First Amendment... on Students Banned from Blogging · · Score: 1

    While the First Amendment is a good thing, it does not encompass all of the aspects of Freedom of Speech. I agree that a strict reading of the constitution does not imply that the government can protect the students from the church's policies. On the other hand, I do not think that church should be regulating the speech of students outside of class.

    Funny you should mention that. A lot of evangelical christian organizations are remarkably marketing / advertising driven organization. I figure it is only a matter of time before muslims pick up on it. Pretty sick, really.

  25. Re:Simpler reason: The overcame my inertia. on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    Nah, its like kinda like giving up smoking. You kinda miss it, but still don't think the advantages outweight the disadvantages. So, you keep on not doing it.
