(Jan 12 2004 01:06 GMT) - Courtesy of Boing Boing.TiVo has rolled out "TiVo to Go," a service that allows you to move video from your TiVo to your PC's hard-drive, and then to burn the file to a DVD. Unfortunately, the system uses a proprietary DRM system that tethers the video to your machine and your home, meaning that you can't move the video to your hard-drive as an MPG file that you can edit at will, send to a friend, include in a school report, grab stills out of to make a highlight reel, etc. In other words, TiVo is lagging the functionality available for free in open source software projects like mythtv. |

That's what I want to know: why are parents afraid to beat their kids? When I was a kid and I screwed up, my parents beat my ass. We didn't have a conversation about it. |

PRISA, el matarife de España (Jan 12 2004 01:05 GMT) - En España estamos al borde del desastre histórico, y los tontos útiles del PSOE y las izquierdas españolas están siendo utilizados por intereses individuales y sin vergüenza que tras la rentable bandera del nacionalismo y el progresismo amoral han llenado sus bolsillos expoliando al pueblo español. |

¿Con qué drama nos amenaza? (Jan 12 2004 01:05 GMT) - El PSC ha llamado a los dirigentes del PP “delincuentes políticos”. Como puede verse, no se cortan un pelo. Y el jefe de ellos, Maragall, cuya falta de claridad es proverbial, ha hablado de montar “un drama” |

La guardería eterna como modelo educativo (Jan 12 2004 01:05 GMT) - Si el PSOE no hubiera destrozado minuciosa e implacablemente la enseñanza pública, ensañándose especialmente con la Secundaria y la Universidad, si no hubiera liquidado quizás para siempre el mejor mecanismo de promoción social que la dictadura de Franco legó a la democracia, si la LOGSE, la Reforma, la LAU y otros engendros pedagogistas de señoritos que jamás han cogido una tiza no nos hubieran mostrado el aspecto más siniestro de un sectarismo infinito, sólo comparable a su estulticia y a la indiferencia por los alumnos reales y la educación real de los más desfavorecidos, es decir, si no conociéramos cómo las gasta el PSOE en materia educativa, podríamos tal vez sonreír ante la ingenuidad de las propuestas zapateriles en materia de Cultura y Educación. Por desgracia, los conocemos. Y no producen risa, ni sonrisa. Maldita la gracia que hacen. |

Imminent Threats (Jan 12 2004 01:05 GMT) - Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, and a bunch of other non-English-speaking Democrats (they have to be; how else could they so badly misunderstand the President's words?) have claimed that they opposed war against the Baathists because the Baathists did not pose an imminent threat to America. That's fine; but now that North Korea does pose an imminent nuclear threat, what do they say? |

Fences, Truth and Reconciliation (Jan 12 2004 01:04 GMT) - A lot more people feel that Musharraf's spots have really changed for good. While taking that chance, India can complete two important tasks to protect its interests: First, complete the fencing and enhance the monitoring infrastructure (fences make good neighbours) Indian officials said they would make their final judgment on General Musharraf in a few months, when the snow melts in Kashmir. That is when militants usually try to trek in over mountain passes. As insurance, Indian officials say, they will continue the rapid construction of about 435 miles of fencing along the disputed border. |
