Right and with Howard's origonal audience being larger formerly - that's a lot better for Stern's current numbers.
Yes my XM numbers - touted as "ABOUT" (which infers a rough estimate in most cultures) - were off - but Sterns nosedive was worse than origonally cited.
You're right, Howard is doing GREAT. No doubt about it.
And to the people who though me citing figures derived from the New York Times, was a "Troll" go bitch to the NYT as well. Dumbfucks.
"I don't like reality - wah - mod him down - that'll show him - sniff"
"After fulfilling the last 14 months on his contract at CBS Corp., Stern debuted in January 2006 on Sirius under a five-year deal valued at $500 million and immediately became the marquee talent of the No. 2 satellite radio provider. He also recently ventured into the realm of video-on-demand television with an all-Stern channel available through several major cable operators. Sirius ended the third quarter with 5.12 million subscribers, an audience that pales in comparison to the 12 million listeners who regularly tuned into Stern at the peak of his CBS career. XM posted nearly 7.2 million subscribers for the third quarter."
So I was off 2.8 million on XM. I also lowballed his origonal radio audience by 2 million so he's hurting even worse.
Oh and I can assure you - not all of Sirius' subscribers listen to him hence the peak numbers will always lag the total subscriber base. That was infered in the previous post - but of course - the fanbase can be a bit - um - "slow".
re:"To the prudes out there that can't stand to hear what he has to say, don't listen. Turn the dial."
The thing is - they have - to XM which has more than double the marketshare of Sirius. Sterns' listenership used to be above 10 million (which is kind of low when you think about it) but he brought in 100 million a year in revenue. This is why he got a fat contract at 100 million a year to jump ship. It didn't impact his operations for the next 5 years. Oh - but wait - his marginal audience doesn't move with him and now the radio stations are making more revenue with cheaper talent. His current numbers are a PORTION of Sirius' current subscribership which is around 5 million. So even if he got every listener on the Surius dial, he'd have only half what he previously had.
Oh yes - people will pay for satelite radio - pitty XM has more than double the numbers (over 10 million) right now. That split marketshare has marginalized him, and exposed the deal for what it was. A desperate grab to attempt ratings and subscriber boost (at a cost of nearly one satelite launch per year) against a much stronger competitor - XM radio. Less than 1 year into it and they're trying to expand his near-dead ratings.
I expected this to either be a minor win for Stern and Sirius when the deal went down - or a total train wreck for Stern. At this point, it's the later of the two. I expect lawsuits around February as both parties sue the bejeezus out of one another, withhold payments, or attempt to break contract - which he'll have to do since pop-culture doesn't weather hiatuses of 5 years very well. Such celebs turn into the has-been pile very quickly, and we've got an odds-on-favor here. The fun is just starting!
In reality, after getting the first - of several - voice systems, he remarked that it gave him a California accent. True story - I'm too lazy to google the link at the moment.
re:"As for movies, Stephen hawking did play in Star Trek TNG. Granted, it wasn't a Jackie Chan role, but still..."
Well with a little more CG FX, he COULD have had a Jackie Chan role, and I think the world is ready for the full on Stephen Hawking / Jackie Chan experience in "RoadHouse 2, Quantum leaps of fury". "Entropy takes a beating in the summer of 2007"

You get what you pay for - so enjoy your Yugo - and stay away from the PS3 please, some of us who "have money" want to enjoy some new hardware and we don't need you adding to the shortage.
Yes actually. The only downside is if the audience is wrongly measured. In this case more than 70 million people world-wide go to YouTube. The same - if not more - amount of money was lost by companies like Excite@Home / AT&T trying to aquire "eyeballs" back in the first dot-com mania when those eyeballs were either wrongly measured or didn't exist at all.
The reason YouTube has gotten (and with Google's help continue to develop) contracts with content providers is because those numbers are far too juicy for the content owners to quibble over when they could be a new way of directing viewers. That plus the safe-harbor laws and previous co-operation that YouTube has done which is a 180 from Napsters' responses back in the day.
For everyone going gonzo on the price - here's a perspective one of those about Microsoft's losses on the Xbox 360 as quoted in Next Generation:
"Since Microsoft entered the console market in 2001, the Xbox strategy has been one of heavy investment, leading to significant losses in its home and entertainment division. The losses are clear in recent financial reports. For fiscal year 2005, Microsoft's game division posted a $485 million net loss. In fiscal 2006, ended June 30, 2006, the division lost $1.26 billion."
So in fiscal 2006 Microsoft lost nearly as much as Google's stock deal. Only Microsoft didn't lose stock - they lost real money.
I heard that Wonder Woman was supposed to be an early adopter of this tech. She's buying 12 of these last I heard.
It was an odd sales meeting as golden lassos were used on a number of the staff. Pictures of course have been sold to various porn sites and have generated enough revenue to make the down payments on the aforementioned aircraft.
Has anyone heard Mel's voice lately? He's 80 YEARS OLD for chrissake. His voice makes a showing in the broadway version of "the producers" for a scant 4 seconds - when he was less than 80 years old - and it's a raspy squeek.
Don't get me wrong - I think it's fantastic that he's staying involved in projects in his twilight years, but "voice talent"? There's plenty of professional voice-actors out there who could nail his voice back when it was in it's prime.
For him to be a voice actor - it might help for him to have a voice in the first place.
Oh you haven't seen this done 15 years ago. There was another one older than that - and I'm sure there's plenty of white-power mods for all kinds of games running RIGHT NOW.

No.
Both the US and Russian Navy have plenty of reactors online - and many of them power ships of some kind which float in water.
And here's the kicker - they're online - right now!
Oh nosies! Call Greenpeace!
Perhaps - but how long do they last vs. how long will you stand to use the cpu before you notice that people moved beyond 40 column screens?
I have a NeXT whose fans and other parts are still running fine and it's 15 years old. (not a cube - those optical drives were dogs)
