I think they should've banned CNET on account of the fact that their site blows.
Yes, this. Not to mention what CNET did to mp3.com and tvtome.com.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tv.com does suck.

tvtome.com was very slow, but useful. I swear there's not as much info on tv.com, and what there is is more mouse-clicks away. Plus, it hates Opera. I may shift to starting my queries at epguides.com instead.

epguides.com - the summary links for each ep link to tv.com just FYI
but the epguides site fucking loads quicker.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I'm going to kill my son. He downloaded LimeWire, along with the associated SHITLOAD of spyware.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

They took down all my articles. They are dead to me. And now I'm not even certain if those pieces belong to them. I gave TVTome permission to use my work when ScoopMe went bust. And now I just don't know. I hate that.
My plea for tech help is this:
I need a new cell phone. I like my Sprint plan, but the contract is up so I wanna just go with that, again.
I don't need a phone that does much more than call people, and receive calls from people. I don't give a rat's ass about cameras or bluetooth or if my phone can unfold into a DVD player. Those features won't get used.
Any ideas? I know nothing about cell phones and when i went to get this one, I needed Polgara to do it all for me. My battery is dying, and I figure getting a new phone cheap and renewing my plan is just fine.

What phone do you have now? I'm looking at phones Sprint offers for your zipcode -- have you checked to see how much each one costs? From looking at the range, I'd just get the cheapest one to upgrade to. They all have more than you need, but that's the market today.

It's an LG, if that makes any sense. It's pretty and just the right size.
Do the batteries last longer, now? I find mine drains after ten minutes, right now, because you know, old. But I remember being able to use it for a couple hours before it got all, "beep, welcome to disconnect death."

Yours isn't that told, is it? I mean, you've gotten it within the last three years or so? That's funky about the battery. It shouldn't be doing that. But I don't think it's worth fixing.
Still -- the cheapest one they have will probably both do, and be an upgrade.
