Gooo, then. Or Goooooooooooooooo.

Actually, in honour of my crappy nick, they should call it gotoo.

You're right on the first 2 counts, but I think my wife might object to the 3rd.

I share the same thoughts about what UK Health Services is doing with telling schoolchildren "masturbation is good" [...] -- UK Gov't Health tells kids to masturbate;Parents are angry. But when you have a monopoly, customer opinions don't matter

Where are you getting this info? I assume by "UK Health Services", you're referring to the NHS, but the top 2 google hits on NHS masturbation were one page saying (paraphrased) "social values have changed, it's no longer taboo" and another being a description of study that found masturbation at a young age may be linked to prostate cancer. Neither of those seem to be a call for the youth of Britain to get down with their bad selves.

Why do I even waste my time putting together posts? I am so sick and tired of this site.

I appreciated them, FWIW.

Sometimes it builds brides too, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Trust a slashdotter to skew the conversation around to robotic life partners eventually.

Best post ever.

I LOL'd IRL

I certainly remember seeing a TV programme in the UK about the phenomenon, and I haven't lived there for over 5 years.

Why are all the prices in British Pounds? Did they just annex all those countries overnight or is the author of the article a lazy bastard?

The prices are in British Pounds, because the linked article is on a UK website. The author of the article is someone who is reporting the news to people in his country of origin. Congratulations on discovering that there's an entire world outside your country's borders!

If it's on the same multiplex, it's quite easy to do (with DVB, anyway, dunno what sort of craziness might be involved in ATSC).

If it's not on the same multiplex, you'd need at least one other tuner in the box (2 if sequential "channel" numbers are all on different multiplexes). Quite often that's the case, though, particularly in boxes which offer picture-in-picture or "record one channel, watch another" type functionality.

Badda bing!

Sorry if it's been done.

... are using one to host their website.

You're joking, right?

The quote was taken slightly out of context - it started like this:

Unsolicited tip for media company c-levels:if your reaction to this...

I believe the suggestion is that if said media people are thinking like that, they're going to be out of a job soon, and should consider buying cheap food and attempting to make industry contacts in order to assist with getting a new job.

Or they could borrow that macbook pro off the songsmith girl.
