Is it pronounced 'EYE-talian" or "AYE-talian"?

I certainly wouldn't want to be politically incorrect.

Well, I think I'm going to be to blame for a minor domestic distubance soon; My TiVo owning brother loves the popping and booming. It amuses him. His girlfriend (long term, live-in, mortgage-sharing girlfriend) absolutely hates the sounds. Drives her nuts. My brother has managed to keep his popping and booming by claiming that you can't turn the sounds off, that you can only turn them down a bit. I think he's done this just to drive her insane. So this evening I e-mailed her a link to the page on TiVo's site that tells how to turn the sounds off. Ooooh, I'm such a bad brother...

They also do not include JC's anti US rants or the "star in a small car section" the show is repackaged by discovery networks with new intro bits and recut to fit a 51 min run time to have space for the commercials... some of also down load the UK version via bitorrent so we can see both versions... (the US version is also to be found on bittorent if you are curious to see what they have done to it)

Hi Windy - long time no see. How've you been..?
Got any pointers for UK TopGear on BitTorrent..? You're right about them cutting the star in a reasonably priced car. That's a fun section, but I guess most US viewers would say "Who..? That's not a star!" if it wasn't people like Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt.

I have good luck with the VUK torrents realy any of tthe .avi ones but not the GOTHIC ones and I find http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ to be by far the best OS X client now if only someone would provide torrents of my other fav programe Chan 4s "Time Team " hosted by Baldrick... History international has been showing the same 13 shows over and over for 3 years and they have made over 80 in the last 10 years or so...

CodBot?!

The first worm, dubbed Zotob, appeared on Sunday and appeared to have faded Monday. However, several Zotob offshoots and another new worm, Bozori, were subsequently unleashed. New versions of pre-existing threats Rbot, Sdbot, CodBot and IRCBot also began wriggling their way into computers. Systems at CNN, ABC and The New York Times were hit.

We have Replay TV. Easy to us and, as far as I know, no crazy popping noises. Louis wanted Replay and not Tivo. Not sure the reason but got a 40hr Replay TV for $45 and 3 years of free service. Have Tivo do that!

Beth

P.S. T-minus 7 days till the big move!

Soooo I go thru the NH ez-pass for the first 2 times yesterday and each time the booth display say to call ez-pass. So I do and I explain what happened (as I am a law abiding MINI driver I tell them that I owe 2 tolls). The lady at the other end says don't worry about it Try again and if I get the same display go to customer service. Don't worry about getting a ticket (yea right). Anyone else had this????
