I learned that pix has a Len Maltin video guide handy.

Using a concrete saw/cutter is hard work, but damn fun! Manual labour rocks!

I learned that pix has a Len Maltin video guide handy. Way to not let IMDB replace quality household items. 

I got one too! Although it's kind of dumb because Maltin is dumb...but whatever.

Agreed, but it does come in handy.

For anyone living offshore (as I will be beginning 10/20), you can buy software from bitsdujour.com that will hid your IP address so you can receive hulu and other video which will not normally play offshore. 

Today (for the next 14 hours) the software is on sale for $11/copy, normally it's $29.95.  However, you have to watch the bastards.  The site loads the order with back-up cds and unneeded unlock code protection, etc that are added to the billing unless you uncheck the boxes.

Does this use proxy servers, or is it purely ip hiding?

Mr. Saltine says he thinks it uses proxy servers, but he's not sure.  Once we try it out in Aus, I'll let you know how well (if) it worked.

I get distracted easily and tend to forget things easily
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

The Daily Show and Colbert Report websites now no longer allow me to watch clips.

Jon Stewart made fun of the secretary of agriculture, who used to be my governor :(
