1: Avoiding abrupt volume increases,
Advertisers hate it.
2: Avoiding abrupt changes in scene colour saturation,
Might work.
3: Keeping the network logo on during commercials,
Might work I don't know
4: Randomly playing commercials. I have come to be in position to predict when a commercial is coming on.
Would violate the broadcaster's gentlemen's agreement that commercials always air at the same time. This is why when a show you are watching goes into commercial, and you flip around, all the other shows are in commercial too. Sure some sports and movies violate this rule a little bit, but they all agreed to it so you might as well watch the commercials in your show because all the other networks have commercials on now too.
If I have received something OTA, and recorded the signal, which I believe the SCOTUS has affirmed my right to do, who the fuck should have the right to tell me I cannot do whatever I want with my recording, including skipping any section therein?
I was in a casino in London and they had t-shirts and fanny packs in a display case. I asked a cocktail waitress how much for the fanny pack and got a look I will never forget.
Look, I'm not a big Louie Anderson fan (slight pun intended), but he had a bit where he said something to the effect of "you want to get real change done in Washington, I'll tell ya how. Next Wednesday at noon, everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, pick up a baseball bat, or a 2x4, or a tree branch, and just start walking towards D.C.
Where ever you live doesn't matter.....just start walking towards D.C.
Within the hour, you'll have some change.
Maybe it was George Carlin.....God how can I get bits from those two confused.....
That Terminator is out there......it can't be bargained with...it can't be reasoned with....it doesn't understand pity, or remorse, or fear; and it will absolutely not stop, ever, until you are dead...
What if you started a PC repair company that pledged "We will NEVER use any file from your hard drive during our repair work".
Made that part of the contract the user signs when they drop off the PC. No knowledge, no need to report.
For the car analogy, if the mechanic changes the oil, returns the car to you, never looks at the dead body in the trunk, both you and the mechanic are legally free and clear. Morally, maybe not so, but legally, yes.

Yeah, because clicking the "Classic" link in the upper left corner of the new control panel is just sooooooooooooooooooo hard that I had to switch back to XP.

It was the NSA....
Hey now, remember.....that....
Every sperm is sacred....every sperm is great....
If a sperm gets wasted.....God is quite irate....
And never use the word "fanny".

Fanny is British slang for pussy.
The NSA.....once in the cloud it'll make their data collection that much easier!
I wonder what would have happened to Woodward and Bernstein investigating Watergate in 2013?
And Redford's character in "3 Days of the Condor"; could he still tell his story to the New York Times?

Guy knew his emails were being read by the NSA.
So every email he sent, started with the text:
FUCK THE NSA!
Hi, I'd like to inquire about the.....
Will they do no evil as they scan every data element on the planet?

LISTEN! And understand.....
That Internet is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with.
It doesn't understand pity, or remorse, or fear.
And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!
I find it interesting that the Oracle employee DID NOT refute the line:
Have you ever tried to install Oracle?
So you must concur that its fucking hell to install?
I thought Windows 7 was actually Vista SP2 plus new marketing....
Does that mean that Windows 7 is now Vista SP2+ plus new marketing (the + being the stuff they didn't put in the Vista service pack on purpose)?
However, researchers warn against drinking too much coffee, as 3 cups or more may cause hallucinations.
