Right, but you totally missed the point that GP was trying to make. Unless you have it set up to record every broadcast show all the time, how do you watch something that was on yesterday that you did set up to record beforehand.

In my case, I mess something because it rolled off of a queue, or the listings were inaccurate or some other garbage. Now I dont want to watch them out of order, so I end up letting them queue up while I wait for the one I missed to come on again. It doesn't, and items in the queue expire. Fuck it, I don't even bother watching the show anymore.

I wonder how many episodic arc shows fail because their timeslot got shifted, and a bunch of people missed an episode and simply gave up on the show.

When can television executives get it through their thick skulls that people want to be able to control what they watch and when they watch it and not have to jump through timeshifting hoops to do so?

Well, Kentucky using public funds for a religious theme park sounds like they are establishing a government religion in their state. Even if they were doing so unintentionally.

And, before you ask, I am against any tax-exempt status for any religious organization.

Ignoring them is what has enabled them to start taking over classrooms.

Yes, but to get out of the atmosphere you need to be going hypersonic speeds. Today it can only be done with rockets. In the 90's Aerospike egines was supposed to make hypersonic, suborbital and even SSTO flights possible. There is no commercially produced Aerospike engine yet.

This is always my argument about suborbital travel. It is not seriously faster than Concorde was, and Concorde was so hideously expensive to operate that even the elite could not keep it going. Until there is a revolution in air travel that enables hypersonic flight at current prices, suborbital travel will not become a thing.

And even if they do, they will still use less fuel than ship the same amount of cargo with smaller ships. Economies and ecologies of scale.

Maybe his car has a barnacles problem.

Nautical, not astronomical.

Unless you mean this space ship.

I would like to think that reasonable people knew what he meant, but there are a lot of crazy Fox News people out there. Still, they could have used a better term.

Same thing happens in the USA.

And these are usually the people that say we don't need national healthcare.

I ran into this situation. A company I worked for got bought out by a big company who's non-compete said that any work I did on my own time also was owned by the company. I believe I wrote down NO, and FUCK YOU on the sheet and handed it to my boss.

Fortunately I and most of my coworkers were valuable enough and they drafted a new agreement for us that did not include this clause.

Or better, they will offer you a job then fire you a year later, and claim your patents are now owned by a company. As long as your patent is well documented you will win, but the company will try to bury you in litigation.

You are thinking of a Red Giant.

Seriously it is super easy to run cat5e in a house; even if you rent you can do it in a way that does not damage anything.

What the hell has happened to Slashdot when people can't be arsed to run a bit of cable?

I do partially retract my statement. The catholic claims were that aids could pass through condoms due to how small it is, and thus by using condoms and believing you were protected, you were spreading the disease. The first claim is flatly false, and the second is somewhat true. You are more at risk by having sex with a condom, then not having sex at all. But the fact is abstinence-only policies are just not going to work, people are going to have sex. And the Catholic policy on anti-condom even for health reasons is misleadingly amoral.

In summary. I still stand by my position of "Fuck them."
