There's maybe 1 hockey game a week on the OTA networks and it's rarely my hometown team.
82 games a year + playoffs is a must for me (not to mention all the other games for other teams).
I don't know, I mean if it was going to happen anyway I'd like to hang around to see if Hollywood got it right.
You can always off yourself later if you want.
Excellent point. I recall a 'behind the scenes' style episode where they showed how bad Jaime was at doing a quick monologue.
It was actually pretty funny hearing the rest of the cast making fun of him about it.
Considering the absolutely terrible job that television has been doing lately at making science fiction...
You must have missed SyFy's Sharktopus .
Although what you say is true, Arduino being a "toy" isn't exactly a bad thing.
I liken it to hardcore Linux users' disdain for Ubuntu. (I'm obviously making a sweeping generalization here, one that might not even be accurate, but I feel it's an apt comparison.)
It may not be the most efficient or the most technical or the most powerful, but it opens up a lot of new avenues for those that decide to try it out.
I ordered an Arduino starter kit last summer and a couple of books just for the hell of it and had a blast. Sure, I might not know much about electronics, but I didn't need to. If I want to learn more about a particular subject I'm free to explore more deeply.
I think that's the real power of Arduino right there.
That is exactly why I generally can't stand radio. There's a sports talk program on my area's local rock station 3 hours each day, interspersed with music and ads.
The music is ok, but I tune in for the sports talk. I hear the exact same handful of songs every damn day. I listened to our local classic rock station's morning show (it's pretty funny), but I can't stand listening to it for the music anymore because they play the same goddam shit over and over and over.
They play like 2-3 Pink Floyd songs, 3-4 Led Zeppelin songs, etc., etc. These bands wrote music for decades, yet the same couple of songs get exclusive play. That and 2 Nickelback songs (WTF?).
A lot of my friends (many of whom are in their own bands and play live in the area) complain about the same thing. People with a passion for music can't stand listening to the radio anymore.
I guess we can all thank Clear Channel for that.
