I see a lot of bitching about it on the google android forum. It's a big oversight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ION, I am a total database geek. My boss is having me research the deadlock thing I posted on Friday, and I'm learning about SQL queues, services, routes, event notifications, etc.
Fun!

So, if I buy high-def TV shows from the iTunes store, it downloads two files for each show - a regular-def version and a high-def version. But after the download, the regular-def version goes away.
Anyone know what's going on here?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh. So the system (eta: iTunes) just hides it then?

I'm not thrilled with Google reader, but since it is my first reader, I have just accepted limitations. Does anyone use a feed reader they are happier with?
Note: Until phones come with 8 inch screens and and at least 8 inch key boards I will NEVER browse on a phone. I will probably never text on a phone.

Frak! MobileMe web e-mail just frakked me. Instead of deleting the Trash box, it deleted all of my INBOX! I'm really getting sick of the bs interface of MobileMe. Customer support is working to restore my inbox. But that doesn't remove the frustration.

The only other online RSS aggregator I've used, TB, is bloglines.com, and Google reader is better. Fewer lost posts, off the bat.

TB, do you require an online reader?
To me, the only real advantage of an online reader is it keeps track of what I've read on multiple systems. But that's a big-enough advantage to me that I'll probably stick with Google Reader.
And yeah, the only two online readers I know of are Google Reader and Bloglines.

Okay, I just talked to my accountant, and I'm getting a better refund than I thought. My accountant has advised me to buy a flat screen TV. Okay advised is a strong word, but when I mentioned it, he said "well, your accountant approves of that purchase". So, what am I looking for? I know what size I want, but there are other numbers involved. I've done some research and I think I want at least 1080p, but there's 120 and 240Hz, and there's some number of X HDMI.
Any thoughts on brands?
Also, I know that someone mentioned (Zenkitty?) that the non HD channels looked like crap on the new HD tv. So, should I get a slightly less snazzy tv so that there's more parity between HD and non HD channels? HELP!
