  • Radiation: Television hell,

    I can't belive in this day and age that people still sit passively in their seats watching a show and then watching what comes next anyway ... you are a dying breed and the networks love you.

    Yeah I agree, that's when I saw that FotC was on at 10 I decided to go to bed and torrent it instead (I have no video recording device). Do you think networks will learn though?

    Ratings boxes are generally given to largish families who watch a lot of TV and probably do passively in their seats watching a show and then watching what comes next.

    Perhaps networks should look at download stats on Pirate Bay et al and base their scheduling on that.

  • Hard News: One Million Tunes,

    Did we also see the report on Facebook and the "suxual prudators" last night? My friends and I were laughing as the reporter (Tony Field) interviewed some teens.

    Using Jo's italics idea: "__Dirty Old Man has poked you on Facebook__". "__SexyPredator has sent you a gift__"

    Then came an actual funny quote

    "while we were talking a hacker tried to access [little billy's] MySpace page"

    They did what? And it's "H4x0r", Tony.

  • Speaker: Silver is (not) the new black,

    I said this on the Dropkicks last night (so it'll be a day to two before it hits teh internets): there is no such thing as an All Black A Team.

    What there is, is a game plan. Each opponent gets a game plan formulated against them and then Graham Henry and his co-coaches decide which players best suit that game plan. This may stabilise a bit more during the knockout rounds but don't be surprised if Aton and Kevan swap seats a lot and the midfield changes too.

  • Hard News: One Million Tunes,

    If you feel like it, TX 77530 or 77019 can be used too. Or La. 71369. Dirty South, represent!

    I used a Manhattan address when I signed up to Pandora. It asked for a zip code and I thought, "where do I want to live?"

  • Hard News: Policy, finally,

    Waaaaaaay aaaaaaaages ago on Beyond 2000 (yep that long ago), they showed a device that ran through your car's speakers via the rev counter. You make your car sound like a Porsche or a truck or a jet and it would accurately match your actual speed and revs.

    So you could have your Prius sitting at the lights thudding like it was a suped up Skyline.

    Ick!
    the G-Wiz and the Aerorider are ugly!
    Whereas the Tesla is so pretty. Zap cars are somewhere in the middle.

    And I agree, the rearview in the Prius is bad enough for me to call it a hazard, especially when I was pulling out into traffic.

    With regard to fuel efficiency, how is it calculated? Is it based on a "real driving simulation"?

    For example in town your car sits stopped for long periods (If I drove a Prius up to the lights and sat there for 5 hours wouldn't it have better efficiency than any kind of diesel?)

  • Radiation: Television hell,

    I think FotC are doing better than the reviews say. I mean it was quoted on ESPN the other day.

  • Speaker: I too, am man,

    Wow, that sounds like a nice beer.

    I've been drinking the Mata Artesian recently and can recommend it, but not for curry.
