In Europe, they have DVB, where they don't need some cockamamy cable box to tune/change digital channels. DVD recorders with DVB tuners can record channels digitally and independently of what's currently being watched, just like a VCR w/ analog cable does here. That's a big reason why DVD recorders work so well for them but not us.
True, some people will pay 99 cents. Most don't, however. The percentage of music purchased from the iTunes store per iPod is very small. The "convenience" factor would be much better suited to a subscription-based model, IMHO.
The only way the labels can make a profit off of digital downloads is to offer a subscription to their entire library, with on-demand access to any album, available at home and on the road, without any restrictions. That way, you eliminate the need for illegal downloads and file sharing. People will gladly pay for that. I would. And this, of course, does not apply to people who still want to buy CD's for the sake of an official tangible package from the artist. The day this happens, we all win.
We, the audience, got whacked. That's what we get for allowing murderers into our homes.
I think it's a bullshit cop-out, but who cares what I think, because I got whacked.
Yeah, I know it's Windows-based, but gb-pvr is the best free pvr solution out there, IMHO. I tried myth-tv/knoppmyth first. For an intermediate Linux user like me, setup and configuration was a nightmare, even with recommended hardware (read: hauppauge/nvidia). gb is EASY to configure, and it only consumes slightly more resources than myth. It's way easier to use, supports all the hardware that myth does, and it has available many of the nice plugins that myth has. I've been using it for a month, and I'll never watch TV without gb again.
"At Genentech, CEO Art Levinson says he actually screens out job applicants who ask too many questions about titles and options..."
Mr. Levinson went on to say that he also screens anyone asking about salary, vacation, internal advancement, the company's business model, stock performance, or any other matters pertaining to the position. "I ask them, 'Do you want to cure cancer?' It's a simple 'yes or no' question. Any information about us is irrelavant."

Bah. Too slow. Inifiniband FTW!
Why don't they just fill the space shuttle with trash from Marty's trashcan?

Close but no cigar. Doesn't work fully w/ iPods. You have to pay twice for music to "own" it.

Isn't this a chipset for a Pentium 4 desktop motherboard? How'd they fit that in a laptop case? www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/p4-series/pn80 0/

...GO RUPERT MURDOCH!!!!
I'm sure "Large Millimeter Telescope" is just the crude English translation of a Spanish term meaning "The Anaconda of Astronomy."
It's called cocaine.
...fun things are fun.
True. Anyone who has read the Dark Tower series would agree. Best books ever.
..."meecrob" which, according to Cartman, "is way grosser than 'shit', dude."
You don't.

I hope they bury him face down... so he sees where the f**k he's going.
