I'm thinking this should be in a Mythbusters thread LOL

But uhmm...yeah...there's actually a Mythbusters message board on the Discovery Channel site where viewers submit their myth ideas. Plus every once in awhile they'll revisit a myth if enough viewers make a good argument that they missed something.

They do 3 myths in an episode, and they usually only blow something up (or do something visually spectacular) for one of them. If the experiement doesn't...

rsine,

LOL, I hope I didn't come off as annoyed, cuz I wasn't! But GrrrlRomeo was pretty much on the money about Mythbusters-except that most of the time it's about finding different excuses to blowing stuff up. And I'm willing to bet a good amount of these "myths" are thought up by the writers of the show-not the viewers, as is alleged. It's not like they can necessarily trust viewers. They...

I knew you were kidding... though, I like watching things blow up and blowing things up in video games (ie, nazi tanks, nazi's in general...)

They've busted several Xena-related myths. Like...can a human catch an arrow or a sword with their bare hands

Noooooo, don't tell me they can't!

MTV... *Shivers* Don't even get me started.

I like VH1 when they have their countdowns though...can't help it, I like countdowns, heh.

Pretty much the only good station around here with that kind of mix is, as Cobalt listed I think, a college station. They have GOOD variety at ours, although shifts only last 3 hours at a time..I ALWAYS miss the oldies segment But like 6 different DJ's run trance and...

I'm going to buy a HD Set Top Box, no need for me to go out and spend thousands on a new tv. I've known alot of people who have bought new HD tv's and alot of them broke down.

I think I'm going to stick to set top box when we have to get it.

Good radio stations exist in markets not invaded by Clear Channel or similar companies. These companies create their programming based on market research. The DJ doesn't create the playlist...a computer does. The station doesn't even have albums. What they have are a collection of CDs not unlike a "Time-Life" collection with only the hits of whatever genre the station is. Stations that play current hits periodically recieve a new cd containing a batch of new releases. All...

xwpweb,

I think the place to find new, interesting musicians is on the internet. That's how I came across David Vector. He is an INCREDIBLY gifted musician. He creates ALL of the music HIMSELF! Most of it is assembled on his PC, and he plays bass and sings. Dave also plays keyboards. Go to his MySpace site (linked from mine) and check out his new album Go in its entirety. Then get back to me. This guy has TONS of talent. Who knows how many others like him are waiting to be...

MTV? What's that? Oh-a station I never watch. Then again-I never listen to the radio anymore-not that I did so much in the old days. I've amassed a pretty large collection of CDs over the years, and my tastes aren't exactly stuff played on the radio often. And no-Rush doesn't count.

We've had digital cable for years. And we've had CRT televisions for years. We use our DVD player (which is a digital signal) with a TV that was made in the 90s. It's never been a problem. As has been stated previously, you only need worry if you're using an antenna.

This is for U.S. residents-not sure about Canada, though..

For those who aren't aware, pay attention...and for those who are, here's a reminder...

In a year, your old analog TV sets will be garbage. 2009 is when TV signals go digital.

Frankly, this news should have been more widespread previously, but as far as I've seen, it's been limited only to certain areas-and I've not heard much on the radio.

This will suck...
