No Bob, what do YOU think about the clicks the Awards generated?
Yeah because who knows what they cook up when they are not faking ghosts. Maybe they faked your tenderloin steaks in the past too?!
I have to admit pumpkinhead is right.

Ghosts are as real as god. Everything about both of them applies. So if you believe in god you can't say that ghosts are nonexistent.

By the way, I myself am a Pastafari.
I am listening to The Who while reading your comment.

You know as in Who gives a shit.
You have to understand Bob, Wii60. He needs to use the Awards more so he has to 2ndhand link them. That's the reason for him being an ass.
Congrats Jonathan. You generated clicks.
I still don't understand why Bret's girlfriend is on TDS...
What he said and additionally my only way of watching these shows would be even later with german dubbing which is HORRIBLE.

You should see the translation errors the monkey who translate The Simpsons are making. It's incomprehensible. Small example: "swear" can mean two things. Guess which meaning they used when Lisa picked up a book in a library and put it back in disgust over too much swearing? You are right - they translated it as if there was too much "swearing on the bible" in that book. And don't get me started on the voice actors. Law and Order SVU (which, funny enough, is called Law and Order New York over here despite the fact that ALL L&O shows take place there) has voice actors at least 10 years younger than the lead actors. Richard Belzer sounds like Mickey Mouse.

What really pisses me off is that 10 years ago it was clear that music downloading over the internet was a problem - with a whole CD with all its songs at 80MB. A single episode of TV is 350 MB - how long do you think it took for users to start getting those files just like they did with music?

I tell you how long. As long as it took for bandwiths available in the households to get as fast as it would take to get cd (74 Minutes) worth of TV show in the same amount of time. In 1996, ISDN here in germany was the standard at 64kbit. Now 6000kbit is the standard in DSL. Thats A HUNDRED TIMES faster than 10 years ago.

And what do they do? They put a single episode of TDS or TCR on iTunes for ridiculous prices. If you were to pay for a whole year of these shows you could go on a holiday with that kind of money. Only the rich could afford that. So it's great that they made TDS available on their website - with ALL the episodes.

But still it's a hassle to go and visit website after website telling you "you are not from the US, go away". I TRIED to view stuff on Hulu - I can't. It's ridiculous. I will NEVER EVER return to regular german TV as long as they don't hand me the original audio. I guess it will take A LOT of profit loss for them to get that. Until then the only way I can make them do what I want via not doing what they want - watch their boring ass TV.
Yeah... hot tub.

Get some insight and drop that idea. Watch the survivorman episodes where he goes into the canadian tundra and alaskas white desert. You'll soon find out that from a few hundred yards away this guy looks like he's just taking a rest on a trip with a snow mobile.

Not really a "Survial" situation. It needs to be warm for the scantily clad factor. Just accept it and try imagining something that's a real change and viable and not totally ridiculous to demand. It's as if you'd demand the chefs to cook in a Burg Kind on Hell's Kitchen to "spice things up".
Awesome!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
