Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
I remember when I bought my first Zip drive.
I bought my first cell phone just prior to going to the very first F2F (2002), because I figured being out of town -- as well as coordinating/wrangling dozens of Buffistas -- would be a good reason to have a cell phone.
Yeah, the "80 hour" DVRs are more like 20 if you're recording HD. We prune our scheduled recordings way back when we go on vacation. (Which is a GIANT PITA now that we're on the craptastic Cablevision DVR. I miss my Tivo THIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUUUUUUUUUUCH.)
I think when we are ready to get rid of the PS2, we will get a Wii, but that is at least a couple of years away, so who knows what will be out then.
I bought myself hyacinths yesterday and have them on my desk. The smell is making me so happy. I'd like to lie down and just smell that.
By then we'll have headsets that let your brain direct the controller....
How much do we think the ATK test kitchen spends annually on food? Trying to win a free CI subscription on Twitter.
Wow, even taking into consideration that they buy in bulk, they do so many variations on their recipes, plus the equipment and tasting sections, that it has to be really up there--maybe $400,000?
maybe $400,000?
That's the ballpark I was thinking of - half a million-ish.
Right now if I were to watch everything on my DVR's currently recorded programs, it would watching TV 24 hours a day for 17 days. That doesn't count all the Xvid video stored on the second drive. Scary.
In the last year and 7 months it has recorded 3400 episodes of TV for a total time recorded of 4 months and 6 days.
The weird thing, right now I only watch 45 minutes of TV a day while I'm on the treadmill. My wife and kids watch stuff though.
Holy crap. CNN is saying Arlen Specter is switching parties.
I don't have cable, I don't have a cell phone. I'll probably have a cell phone by the end of the year, but that's in the 60% range, not the 90% range.
We've got a digital converter for our antenna, but reception is still unreliable. We'll see how it is after June. Cable is a higher possibility than a cell phone, but that's still only in 70% range.
