Angelus ,'Damage'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So I just got a free TIVO series 2 and then I just see someone else giving one away, this one with a lifetime subscription. why would people be doing this? Is there no value to them even if they are still functional?
and can anyone verify that I can use the TIVO to pause live tv and even record things without a subscription?
Yes, msbelle--you can use it to pause live tv, and it will record whatever it's showing at the time in a 30-minute buffer. If you choose to record it, it will record the whole thing from the point at which you start recording.
Kat! I'm here now. Are you?
I feel better every time I hear other people have fucked up memories. I can't even know what my memory would be like without the clumsy concussions of my university life, but it's good to have company.
eta:

Not from 30 mins back if you haven't changed the channel?
Not from 30 mins back if you haven't changed the channel?
No, not that way, not as a unit of television. But I have a Series 1: maybe the later versions handle it differently.
My TiVo (s2) asks me if I want to record in Best quality--if so, it goes as much as 30 minutes back, depending on when you changed the channel. If not, it starts from when you hit record.
That would be different, yes.
Damnit. I got ambitious with my workout since my back didn't hurt anymore after swimming, so I decided to lie down on the floor and do leg lifts and situps. Then I couldn't get off the floor without serious maneuvering since I had managed to fuck up my lower back again. An hour of the heating pad let me get off the couch and here to the computer desk, but I fear the trek to the bathroom and bedroom to sleep. The heating pad is coming with me to bed.

I skipped the last 600 or so posts (my wireless card and laptop are having a spat) so I apologize if the following is repeated information.
tommyrot, I saw the FBI STOP RAPING MY WIFE dude on Daley Plaza this afternoon and did a little googling. Scroll down for a conversation with Farhad. The Chicagoist link in that story doesn't really clarify anything but it is a rather bizarre read. It's interesting that some people believe that it's performance art, a psychological experiment or potentially, viral marketing. Photos from Chicago, NY, and DC.
That guy's been there for years - I don't think I buy the marketing or performace art idea.
