Same with me... PDF manuals are great but I print the sections I need and highlight, or read the PDF while copy/pasting or typing the sections I need and printing my version out.

Same deal with when I do remote starts. So much easier to have a hard copy on hand than messing with a PDF or website on a damn laptop or handheld

"One model of TiVo’ s new all-digital DVRs would include ATSC over-the-air reception capability; this model, therefore, requires waiver of both the DCR Rules and Section 15.117(b)’s dual analog/digital tuner requirement."

Why does it need a waiver of the rules and Section 15.117(b) when all OTA broadcasts (and pretty much all other forms of broadcast) are now digital and not analog? I mean the FCC mandated the analog to digital OTA switch over... I guess I'm just really confused or our government is really that SLOW and/or doesn't know what the heck the other sections are doing even when it's plastered all over the news... ??

not quite, because how do you *know* it's the best way? You don't. it's just the best way of the ways you know, but there are many unknown ways of which some could be better.

For your example: "It's like having a screwdriver and then trying to invent a hammer that's different from a screwdriver but does the same thing."

It'd be more like "It's like having a screwdriver and then trying to invent something that's different from a screw driver but does the same thing, such as an electric drill or screw driver, and then beyond that a cordless drill or screw driver"

No, you can replace them. The S40 (or is it the 60 I forget) not really because of the gap behind the display but there's still a double din sized unit in the dash.

And as for the integration, pac, scosche , idatalink and others make integration kits that allow you to install a new radio while retaining the factory functionality. This even applies to fiber optic systems like in the Mercedes and BMW.

I've dealt with this stuff for over 13 years now professionally (although I have to admit I do like doing remote starts a lot more than audio stuff)
