Another Who song on the Doctor Demento show! I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek.

So, I was close.

Hey, you never know! Just now on Fox News, they were discussing that recent item about how pregnant women should be taken Paxil or whatever. And, to punctuate the chatter, they showed clips of pregnant women walking through the streets... EXCEPT for the one they showed of what was really just a fat MAN instead!

OH! CEREAL number! Oh, ho, ho!

Now, now. After all, next, he will sue for discrimination because gynecologists refuse to see him.

Well, first, I would need to know what format the source video is in. i.e. how does it current exist? Tape, DVD, AVI, MPG?

CMC may be cheap, but, the sheer treasure of possessing a coaster that will last forever is priceless! Imagine how many table tops would be saved from condensation rings because of them!

Well, it's as bleak as this lawyer presents, but, it could, as he does claim, lay some terrible grounds for precedent. Lawyer: RIAA wants to shut down the Internet 30 November 2006 Lawyer: RIAA wants to shut down the InternetA lawyer defending Net users that have been sued by the music industry's lobby group, RIAA, claims that the evidence -- or actually the lack of it -- in one of the cases RIAA is pushing in courts, if accepted, would effectively shut down the whole Internet. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/8177.cfm Also of similar interest: MPAA wants your privacy 1 December 2006 MPAA wants your privacyA recent bill that was up in California legistation which would have banned the ability for companies to use "pretexting" practices to obtain your private information was recently overturned by everyone's favorite industry association, the MPAA. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/8184.cfm

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Well, you can still get the MID from a DVD+RW, even if it's not formatted. But, it brings up a legitimate complaint. Someone at Office Depot told me that Maxell makes all their OD company branded writable disc media, both DVD and CD. So, that means that Maxell is outsourcing their DVD-R's to Ritek, because their 8x and 16x DVD-R's were Ritek, as well as their DVD+RW for them. And that they outsourced their CD production to PNY, because their MID's say PNY. So, you never can tell. Office Depot's name is on the discs, Maxell sent them to them, but, at least 2 other companies, Ritek/Ricoh and PNY, made them.

Has anyone ever bothered to ask this? If DVD+RW's require formatting to use, which they do... why aren't they then shipped from the manufacturer already formatted? Much like how floppy disks are... well, when you can find those ancient things anymore.

Hate leads to anger!

Okay, I've got a question on one. What exactly is strewth? (I still remember that moment in the US Transformers comic book when Simon Furman, writing for us on this shore at the same time, had Shockwave rise out of the Thames? I forget, and crush this bum who sees him rising, who shrieks "STREWTH!" as a giant hand shadow falls over him. ) It's The Truth? "'s the truth!"

Well, admittedly, that is an usual circumstance. If I was only 5 and someone chased me down the street in a Dalek prop, yeah, I'd be scarred for life, too.

Oh, man, was this a blast from the past! Adult Swim on Cartoon Network is rerunning one of the best cartoon series from my past. Voltron, Defender Of The Universe, featuring the first and best team, the Lion Force! 4:30 AM CST.

IMG-88?

This still amazes me. I've loved Daleks since I first saw them in an picture in a Starlog publication when I was 8. Had not seen a single episode or movie, just an image. Then, I managed to find the 20th Anniversary Special magazine at my Spencer's of all places, reduced on sale, and, I was hooked. Got to see the Doctor Who And The Daleks movie a little later and finally the first American VHS release circa 1987, when, the next year, a local PBS station carried the Tom Baker years. I got to see my first full fledged Dalek story with one of the best, Genesis Of The Daleks. I've never found the Daleks scary on sight. Only scary in what they mean, something which children aren't going to get. What they represent, the feelings of racism, xenophobia, fascism, and particularly Nazism. Those are scary... but... even I admit... it gives me such a thrill to hear those little pepper pots shriek "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"

Or a certain celebrity oops!

Have you tried using TweakUI's icon repair thing? Also, try going into Internet Explorer and deleting the disk cache.

So, they replaced her with one willing to press her bumps against a Dalek?

Apparently, even worse in England: a merchant banker.

He's right. The 64 is for 64K of RAM. Had a whopping 1.02 mHz processor, too. (NTSC) For $599 upon release, you got a whopping 64K of RAM in a "machine." Actually, I had the C128, so, it had 128K RAM.

Well, I say berserk only because it was so unrelated to anything he'd ever done before and his advanced age made me think he might have lost his mind. It was almost as big a 180 as when Pat Boone went punk. As for the music video and song, I forget what it was. Was definitely in the 2000's. And, it may not have been jewels but there was a video with Cash pouring out a goblet of wine near the end over his life's successes or something like that. Sounded like a Reznor song, a bit self indulgent, biting the hand that feeds it, etc. Cash was old in it because he resembled more... well, there's no other way to say it, he looked more like Pope John Paul II. Okay, found the video here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2...dfeed&hl=en It is Hurt and about 2:56 in he starts pouring out a goblet of wine over what I believe is supposedly to represent his worldly goods and how they will amount to nothing at the end of his life. When I saw this the first time years ago, I just thought he had lost it in his old age. Now, I think it was more losing it from a fear of his own mortality.

And a whopping 32 bits, too! Man... I can remember working on things like the TRS-80 and those Texas Instruments and Commodore 64 ones that connected to the RF on the TV.
