You guys have TV? Why? There's nothing on it to watch except a
constant barrage of commercials. Buy Winrar and get a
Usenetserver.com account. There's no way to ever watch 10% of
the movies, documentaries, music videos or listen to the MP3
files posted every day. How silly it is to listen to that
spamcrapped BILLBOARD in your living room!
I'm still working on BBC-TV to put up a subscription broadband
server for all their channels. I offered to pay my radio and TV
taxes, but they very politely refused. The radio ratings people
called me and asked what my favorite radio station was on a
survey call. "Hmm...That's a tough one!", I said. "I'm torn
between BBC2 and BBC4. I like 'em both!", I mused. "No, I meant
what was your favorite LOCAL radio station?", she persisted.
"Oh, I haven't listened to that string of constant commercials
since 1992 or so.", I replied. "There's nothing to listen to on
radio in America except commercials, the God Squad trying to pry
money out of you or Public Radio, where the academics are trying
to take us back into the Middle Ages of Classical Music."
As we parted, I could hear BBC2 playing from the speakers on her
desktop in the office. She needed a little instruction on how to
make it play...(c; It seemed to make her day!
Amazing. I knew some people were still watching that Livingroom
Billboard. I think it's insane to be brainwashed like that.
