They can't. And that's the point. CBS Radio, ClearChannel and FOX win. He loses.

Comment Re:Overheard at Best Buy (Score 1) 1907
My Favorite all time Best-Buy story. this did happen to me. I was looking to purchase a KVM swithch. I had found a Belkin one that looked like what I needed.
Not wanting to wait for shipping I headed out to BB. I found KVM cable sets and belkin usb hubs and the self tag for the KVM but no KVM.
I walk up to the desk and ask the blue shirt if they have any more/ when will them be in. This is the conversation starting with his response
BB: "What's a KVM?"
Me: "Is a device that will allow you to share a monitor,mouse and keyboard between computers"
BB: "I don't think they make those"
Me: "Actually you sell them here, and I use them everyday at work"
BB: "You're living in a fantasy world they don't make anything like that"
That's pretty much the last time I bought anything at a best buy.
this was also just weeks after being told I couldn't buy a computer there because it was the last one they had.

Journal Journal: Merry Christmas -- $$$$$exyGal
It's not the new year yet, but it seems like a good time to give thanks.
Long story short, I've had a good year. Great job, short commute, and dating again. I've become focused, but with great flexibility. I'm not sweating the big stuff, or the small stuff. The good stuff is in the middle.
May your holidays be commercial-free,

I'm going to write another one of those "private thoughts" entries soon, but here's some followups to some of my previous entries!
Journal Journal: Can the blind see? 30
Xerithane left me a very interesting comment a few weeks ago. Here's a blurb:
For instance, I suffer from a moderately rare eye condition. I will go blind for 3+ hours if I'm exposed to bright light for more than a few minutes. It's like a goths wet dream. When it first happened I was probably 12 or so, and the whole time I sepnt trying to think what blind people saw suddenly made sense.
Journal Journal: Slashdot Oldtimers? Are there more archives? 21
Just for fun, I decided to peruse the really really old Slashdot stuff to see how everything started. Maybe I'd find quiet thoughtful debate about the HTML CENTER tag (1995?) ? Or maybe some lively debate regarding the plot of "Good Will Hunting (1997)" ?
