@Flail: Exactly!

Awesome hack, but I realized early into the instructions that it's beyond my ability.

@thegeton: I thought this was only a Canadian problem. I did the trial month, and was relatively satisfied with the streaming quality, but spent more time looking for something decent to watch than actually watching.

@freedomweasel: Agreed: best way to deal with an asshole is not to be a bigger one.

@jupiterthunder: With respect, I was simply suggesting that you seem to go out of your way to make your coffee taste less like coffee. If this is not the case, then I apologize, but I was basing my comment on your initial statement. No disrespect was intended, certainly none warranting your poorly spelled sarcasm.

@jupiterthunder: Far from calling you a coffee snob, with the need for 3 sugars and flavoured cream, I'd suggest you aren't really a fan of coffee at all...

Day 176: site admin decides that you've written some good work, locks you out, and publishes it?

@Miral007: Well, no...but this comment does seem to suggest that you don't read articles before commenting...!

@fadecomic: Heh heh.

The only think I'm really overwhelmed by is the multiple repeats of the same feed (the Globe and Mail here in Canada is notorious for it). A reader able to eliminate repeats would make my day.

Lifehacker piece on plants that can survive on low light links to...story listing five such plants, the first of which I click on (mint) links to...a discussion clearly stating that mint needs a lot of sunlight! :-D Too bad; mint would definitely make my office smell better.

@Meocene: Thanks for the reply. Why Boxee?

When my Acer Revo arrives (any day now), I'm planning to take a crack at setting up a media centre. Any comments re: XBMC vs. Boxee?

I posted this in the open thread a few weeks ago, but got no answers:

More and more in Google Reader, I'm getting multiple instances of the same article, frequently more than 5 times. Sometimes, this is due to a news organization putting the same article in different feeds (i.e. Canadain news, international news, political news, etc.), and other times it appears in the same feed…

Will this make it into the Wii? If so, will I finally be able to watch videos on it?

@a89aries: Indeed. There are so many cool things on here that are only good in the U.S.

@ustice: I agree. I may not visit a site for months after I bookmark it, and may not even remember exactly what the site was I vaguely remember visiting that one time, which makes keeping bookmarks that much more valuable to me.
