RE: keed spills

That's all crap - its not speed that kills, it's the sudden
stopping when
speed ceases...

I'd have thought that if you can survive a blowout at
288mph, then this
would prove conclusively that speed *doesn't* kill... it's
inappropriate
speed and/or an inapprorpiate vehicle that does.

Heh .. you have to watch the TG episode to get the point.
Nice to see the show back.

Also Way OT .. how many people watch TV by downloading it
here.
I very seldom watch broadcast TV these days.
So maybe Gates isn't far off when he predicts (perhaps
observes the 
obvious trend) the TV will be unrecognizable in 5 years.

Additional OT Campbell Live episode last night. Nice of
Telecom to admit 
they can't deliver what they promise!

Cheers

Paul

I do, I've got a 320GB drive in my XBox full of TV series
that I get 
from a friend; CSI, Top Gear, Boston Legal, House, and many
others.  I 
love it 

Although I want to start downloading them myself, so I don't
have to 
rely on (and use up) my friend's bandwidth (and goodwill
 ).  I

realise this is getting further OT, but can you (or anyone
else) point 
me towards sites where I can do that (off-list if you
prefer) ?

Many Thanks,
David

Of course, having said that, I don't condone copyright
infringement.  I 
only have those TV shows on my XBox for Scientific Purposes
(in the same 
way the Japanese only catch whales for Scientific
Purposes...)

Public lists are probably not the place to advertise
yourself as a (possibly) illegal file
downloader/uploader/sharer.

Nevertheless there are many people doing it, and there
advantages in no ads, 16:9 instead of trimmed down to 4:3,
no cuts to the programme for ads even longer than the
americans have, timeliness, etc etc
