From the program posted here, I guess you were talking about "When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions." But if you listen to the podcast there is no indication. You simply say you are moving to the next topic and discuss whether you saw "it" and how nice the digital transfer was. I was mystified until coming back here to see what the actual program was.

I use the Dvorak layout too, but those of you who are saying this Vostro 1310 layout wouldn't bother you because you use Dvorak are wrong. You couldn't use the custom Dvorak layout in Windows because that maps X to Q, but on this keyboard you would have to map Z to Q instead because the Z is located where the X would usually be.

I think the normal differences between North American and European keyboards are confusing people here. I have blogged about that at http://bitguru.wordpress.com/2008/05/23/ansi-vs-iso-keyboards/

I've been waiting for either FiOS or Cox to get the Big Ten Network (even in SD) so I hope these "rumored channel additions" are correct.

How do the specs of these HTIB receivers compare to their stand-alone line? It would be nice to know.

The [BD+] and [region coding] links in the final paragraph are broken.

Also, I'd like to hear more about why the unification talks in 2005 broke down. OK, the red folk "demanded too many changes to the Blu-ray disc format," but does anyone know exactly what those changes were?

I used to watch the Prisoner when I was a kid--would love to see it again.

My local PBS station would follow up the Prisoner episode with a short stop-montion chess game. I would like to see those again, too, but I'm pretty sure they are unafiliated with the Prisoner.

Before switching providers I'm waiting to see who will get Big Ten Network first, FIOS or Cox. I'm outside the traditional Big Ten region, so I fear neither will come soon. I suppose I should consider DirecTV.

odds are 0.0125% and falling...

Will the scented stuff be presented in HD?

Well I watched the whole thing, not for the HD-DVD commercial of course, but I didn't see it. I don't think I missed any commercials, thanks to the DVR. What quarter was it in?
