Analog TV does need to go for us to finish the transition...there's not enough space for the both of them."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Especially since I barely watch SDTV anymore after having HD.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

theTVaddict puts it well:
Begging the question, if America can’t manage a relatively simple switch to Digital TV that has been years in the making, what chance does Universal Healthcare have? We’re just sayin’.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I have cable, and I've requested two coupons.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

I ordered two coupons. I'll be buggered if I'll pay one more extra cent to the ****ing cable monopolies for boxes for TV's my kids watch occasionally. ****, I hate cable tv and the corrupt laws that allow such crap. I cant get FIOS at home (yet), I'm not thrilled by satellite, but finally, finally, ATT is gonna roll out TV through the phone lines in B'Ham, hopefully some time soon.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Rather, all of the busybodies are now trying to get a piece of the action.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

There was a news article a while back on Engadget that said the cable companies were stopping converting to digital for the next few months so to avoid confusion or problems with the OTA changeover.
I would guess Che asked for his two coupons either in case there was a problem with money and he gave up on cable, or out of some communist moral stance (screwing with the government), or both...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.
