Doesn't that ROCK. I love it so much. When I'm traveling a lot, I just load up the laptop, and then watch old TV in the hotel or on planes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes! I'm awfully chuffed.

I now have the ability to get video off my TiVo and onto my computer (a Mac) for free!

Oh? How do you do that? (I mean, I burn DVDs, I do, but...I"m curious...though I suppose it involves getting a wireless thingum for my TiVo, I may just keep putting it off, since that costs...)

Our wings are not tired.

Go wireless, Meara, it's worth the dough (and it's not that expensive). Once you're wireless, it's easy to transfer stuff through tivo-to-go or any other number of ways.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

AA NiMH batteries that are at least 2200 mAh work great in digital cameras and in my old Canon A40 used to give me almost 200 additional shots over Alkaline.

2200, eh? Thanks. Because, yeah, regular AA seems to poop out after, like, nothing. I put in new batteries this weekend, and a little over 60 shots later, it was telling me my battery was low. That's bullshit.

So NiMH rather than lithium?

It's the Secret of NiMH.

The GINA link made me wonder: how light can using a space frame and nonstructural covering make a car? I mean spaceframes in cars are not new. The Audi aluminum intensive car uses one. But I gather that most of the weight savings comes from the use of aluminum, not from the space saving. Assume the covering weights close to nothing. How heavy is a space frame strong enough to provide full protection equal to a conventional car with a crumple zone? Anyone enough of a car geek to answer this one?
