How would they know? Perhaps you have your phone set to not log anything. Your "if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide" argument is flat and stupid. Please stop using it.

I may not like the law, but I do like the bill of rights. And the legal system likes to wipe their ass with it.

I expect this not to stand up once it hits the federal courts.

Comment Re:Price of commercials (Score 1) 85

But that has to be bullshit. There is no way the amount of commercials that I view (skip over with Tivo) are worth $20 across all channels, let alone a single network.

CBS just thinks they are going to get to double-dip on pricing, and people will and for it. #1 network my ass. How many versions of the exact same CSI and NCIS can people put up with?

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?

It really is. There is no "separation of church and state". There is "not making laws banning or establishing the practice of religion."

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.
