I think it works by the pattern of tracks and intervals.
Now you're going to make me go read up on it.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

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

Cool, thanks.
Here's a more fun question. My new place is prewired for surround sound. I don't even know what that means. What shiny new toys do I need to acquire to take advantage?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Speakers, I would imagine. And either a receiver or a sound card that can handle surround sound, depending on whether you're hooking up your stereo or your computer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Come to think of it, it was iTunes that identified that classical piano fraud. In that case iTunes recognized one specific track as being from another album.
So I don't know what I'm talking about? Or do I?

A friendly sound professional, say me perhaps, to come by and hook everything up for you.

From looking at the oh-so-impartial Wikipedia article on Gracenote it looks like they can do that sort of thing too:
Gracenote operates a digital file identification service which allows digital music files (such as MP3s) to be identified

Freedom! (cue George Michael earworm)
As of July 1, cable providers are required to offer new digital subscribers equipment that works with what's known as a CableCARD, a wafer-thin card that tells your TV what programming you have purchased. It's revolutionary because it can be used with a variety of devices, not just the set-top boxes traditionally leased by cable operators such as Comcast and Time Warner.
Not actually sure how that'll affect my life in the short run if I don't get one of the new TiVos, but it's a start.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The more I read able CableCard, the more confused I get. I'm sure that's exactly how the cable companies want it.
Check out this article, for instance.
The FCC can set all the deadlines they want, but the cable companies and 3rd party manufacturers are just going to keep pointing fingers at each other.

Dear Treo,
Your repeated failure this morning to send picture text messages accompanied by your random restarting is really not helping your case for not being traded in for an iPhone. Don't push your luck.
Love,
Your human master
