Makes me wish I had a video iPod. I never have enough time to keep up with TDS and Colbert-- but I do have 22 minutes twice a day on the train...
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gmail was fine for me until y'all started talking about it. You bitches broke it, didn't you?!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Apparently, labels will delay downloads of songs to increase CD sales...
But if the industry determines that restricting digital sales pays off with bigger album sales, fans may soon find the instant gratification of snapping up new songs online becoming a little less instant.
No one is talking about a wholesale shift away from the now-common practice of selling singles online ahead of new albums.
But even before Ne-Yo's big debut, some music executives fretted that they were offering too many songs too early, particularly from pop and R&B acts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mythbox update. After not working on configuration for awhile I set up the web interface which took about 5 minutes. The web interface is great, and easier to use than programming with the remote.

Next up, configuring automatic starting of everything and finding a time when it isn't recording to reboot and see if everything works.

Does anyone sell preconfigured MythTV boxes?

I think so, (I've thought about doing it myself, but then I think about support and dealing with the upcoming DRM issues and... no) but I don't know who exactly.
I think TiVO or the like is the way to go if you want something that just works out of the box and you don't have to ever screw with. OTOH, if you already have some computer parts sitting around and don't mind doing the configuration, then MythTV is pretty cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Would you characterise the MythTV install as hard? How many hours did it take you?
I have a TV question. Flatscreens--LCD or plasma? Brands? Models? Horror stories?
Okay, more than one question, less than one verb.

No, it's not hard to install if you have a good guide and use a package manager to do most of the setup.
It's hard to say how long it took, because I did everything in little bits. But I would estimate about 8 hours starting with the hardware all assembled. That would include getting and installing Fedora Core (or whatever distribution). It will vary quite a bit depending on the speed of your internet connection and hardware.
You can probably do it in 45 minutes with the KnopMyth distribution since it does everything for you.
If you have trickier hardware, it could take a lot longer figuring out drivers and stuff.
