The internet has a lot of junk, but also a lot of intellectually stimulating content.

Wow, very good.
In 1999 we moved out to the country. To get more than 5 channels we would have to buy a satellite dish. I told my husband I'd like to try and live without it and that's what we've done. I watch football on regular channels or streaming, I get my news via internet, but I don't watch much TV and I don't really miss it. When I go to people's houses and it's on, it is weirdly distracting.
Not trying to sound "holier than thou," just mentioning that it can go away and not be missed.

I didn't have a TV for about 5 years. It was during my hippie era. Didn't miss it until someone saw me eating grapes at work and screamed, "Didn't you hear about the Chilean grape recall??" No, I hadn't. Oops.

They could really make TV obsolete at this point, but it would just shift to the internet and I'm not sure what the difference would be (outside of the whole money thing). We already have Tivo so you can watch what you want when you want, like on the internet.

"People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these." - Farenheit 451, Ray Bradbury

Actually I have. Generally come on at 0500 and don't leave until around 2000 (on my days off, that is) And yes it is generally as interesting as watching paint dry. But as the day moves along it picks up. Some days (like today) it's reasonably quite, others it's like watching a train wreck in slo-mo.

Philo T. Farnsworth is generally acknowledged to have developed the first practical electronic television sytem, way back in 1927. Electro-mechanical systems had been demonstrated earlier but it was Philo's system that led directly to the TV systems we know and loathe today. He didn't get filthy rich from it, though, because RCA essentially stole it from him.
Farnsworth went on to a distinguished career as an engineer and inventor. He died in 1971.
He had a low opinion of commercial television later in life:
Farnsworth is sometimes quoted as telling his son Kent, with regard to television:"There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household, and I don’t want it in your intellectual diet."Yet, his family's website makes it clear that this is Kent's summation of his father's view, rather than a direct quote.
His wife, Elma, died in 2006 at the age of 98:
In a 1996 videotaped interview by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, available on YouTube,[46] Elma Farnsworth recounts Philo's change of heart about the value of television, after seeing how it showed man walking on the moon, in real time, to millions of viewers:Interviewer: The image dissector was used to send shots back from the moon to earth.
Elma Farnsworth: Right.
Interviewer: What did Phil think of that?
Elma Farnsworth: We were watching it, and, when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, Phil turned to me and said, "Pem, this has made it all worthwhile." Before then, he wasn't too sure.

If you check the Crown Royal site but sign in as a Canadian you'll see how its sold up here. No label colours.
While I was going to Uni the first time, my wife and I had a working friend who used to come over every Friday with a bottle of whiskey. We started with Canadian Club. That lasted for a few months until K. got a raise and started bringing a different brand every week. When we hit Crown Royal, we stayed there, enjoying every label they sold in this area.
Then he got married, and we haven't seen him since.

ABC expands 'Lost' finale by extra half-hour!
When the "Lost" finale airs on Sunday, May 23, the episode will run from 9 p.m.-11:30 p.m. The overrun will push back local news, with the previously announced "Jimmy Kimmel Live: Aloha to Lost" post-finale special now airing at 12:05 a.m. ABC is expected to announce the plan on tonight's episode of Kimmel.
Watch it on Hulu. saves a lot of time without the commercial breaks.

At $160 a bottle, you'd better be mixing it with Jolt and not that diet coke crap.

I saw this very film in an 8th grade health class in about 1963. I thought it was a little racy for showing the sloppy but cute girl in her pajamas and, being 14 at the time, I especially noticed that her panties briefly showed through as she left her room.

TV is good.
I agree though for me it really depends on where I live. When I lived in the city I barely watched it and didn't care. I was out a lot at night anyways.
Now that I live in ruralville tv is my main source of entertainment. Long day of work, especially in the summer, come in, eat and veg. I was without on for 5 months and hated it. I love movies and since it's an 2 hour round trip to the movie theatre the satellite movie channels are great. Love pay for view as well.

Yeah, you should hold on to that.
Before my wedding, I flew trips back and forth to Cayman and Nassau for a few months ( not a good run..... crowded with minimal time off) so that I could get my crystal Baccarat goblets one at a time in the duty free shops and swap 'em back for the wedding present ones at home.... (not that I got many of those back home for gifts). Now if I broke one, I probably couldn't/wouldn't replace it even if I could get it duty free.
They're one of the few companies still owned and made in the same place. Everything else is pretty much gone to China.

A few of my friends have large Baccarat crystal collections, given to them during the casino trips.

Gorgeous things, but I managed to keep three little crystal mice that were at each place setting, also special edition Baccarat.

I find it gives some sort of ultimate meta-goal. MMOs without PvP can be fun to play, but ultimately to me they feel a little empty - the acquisition of stuff to improve the character to - acquire more stuff. But making little kids cry - that never gets old.

Hiya Hoops!
Was it just me, or did Kobe look totally blase about the game last night? Dude wasn't even sweating down the stretch with the game on the line.
I don't think Kobe needs to play hard to beat the Jazz...Jazz have no length inside..Just pass the ball into the paint.. jeez 6'8 and 6'9 against twin 7 footers? The jazz are dead meat..It's like when the varsity plays the JV inside. Kobe is resting while they sweep the jazz...

I hate writing resumes. I suck at it. No, I'm really bad at it. I feel like tearing my hair out right now.
The trick is the action verbs and quantify everything you can. "Trained # new employees", "Wrote # annual reports", "Managed a staff of #", "Oversaw growth of #%", etc. Every line should start like that and you should be fine. Current responsibilities should be in present tense...

I've been reading resumes for six weeks now...had a couple of really crappy ones...one guy couldn't even write a complete sentence for each company he worked for...three years at a job, and all you can muster is seven or eight words saying, "Performed some basic duties as an engineer."? No, that guy didn't get a phone call, and when the recruiter asked me why, I said, "Because he can't take the time to fill out a resume."

Build your resume around those accomplishments and the positions in which you achieved them. Don't get into too many details, but do make clear how much you increased sales and how you wrote the training manual. I'm not an expert, but that I know to be good practice.

Good catch. The thing to remember is that resumes are skimmed first to see what stands out and only if something does are they read. Make sure your (outstanding in my eyes) accomplishments are highlighted and you'll improve your chances.

Looks like you got my old Dream (CL77). The BMW looks right for "Zen abd the Art". Screw the cage, keep the bikes. (Gotta get my '81 Yamaha thumper going again.)

Had already given up 'live' TV and was taping everything by the time of the Janet Jackson "Wardrobe Malfunction" Super(thing) event... due to a taping malfunction (SP vs EP, or some such) I even missed THAT.
Then, the local station that had the shows I actually WANTED to watch also had basketball, baseball, AND hockey contracts that spring. Even the 'make up' broadcasts were not the same days / times two weeks in a row... so I turned the damned thing off, and have 'watched' it maybe 10 hours (mostly Olympics) since.
Have a digital converter, have not hooked it up.
Have not missed it.

I'd comment on the video, but I was too busy watching TV to actually view it.
