question:  how come I have no karma?  

oh, dear God!   

thanks guys!  Teague, what's your reasoning behind going for a desktop PC?  I'm curious about Brian and Eddie's answer since the two of them edit shows and stuff.

After looking into things further, I'm going to partially correct my pervious statement.  Budgets are important to the networks, at least to a degree.  It appears that the networks use a shows budget as a way of determining whether or not a show stays on the air in relation to the amount of revenue the network makes off of advertisers during said shows airtime (well, duh, that's sorta a no-brainer; [switch you idiot!]).  That's a mouthful, and not very clear.  allow me to illustrate:  Let's use terra nova as our example since it seems to be the most talked about show on this sight in terms of it being "the worst junk on tv". 

According to wikipedia, Terra Nova has an average budget of around 4 million per episode*.  That would mean that the network would need to make at least 4 million from advertisers during the shows 1 hour time slot.  That's around 4 breaks during the 1 hour slot yes?  say four spots per break and that's roughly $250,000 per spot.  I'd want more than six million people seeing my spot if I have to shell out 250 grand to fox to show the spot during Terra Nova!

Seth, did you do work on Covert Affairs?  I was flipping through the channels the other day and caught the show in one of those car scenes you were talking about during one of the intermissions.  I believe it was the one where you all talked about bad effects jobs or something along those lines.  I ask because in the shots I saw, the background outside the car was in perfect focus as was the foreground inside the car.

actually, the sales data that I looked at here: http://macpro.macrumors.com/  shows a decline in sales of mac pro desktops.  The reason behind the decline could be any number of things.  The article seems to suggest that Apple sees it as "people don't want to buy mac pros anymore because they don't need them."   I don't really think so.  I think the reason mac pro sales have declined is because 1. people are waiting for the upgrade 2. The mac pro they picked up 2 to 3 years ago still does the job 3. mac pros are fucking expensive.  Again, there could be other reasons why we see those figures.

do you have any screen capture software?  maybe you could play the video on your comp while recording it to a suitable format at the same time.  Or something like that...  If all else fails at least...

yes, I did miss the link while it was up.  Only because I was not aware of it while it was up.  I figured it would be available this week or next though...

I can't watch them. says the video is set to private.  But I like what you did with the Halp video.  That was sweet.

I'd keep the geekza episode.  you're only going to have one episode where trey reacts to a movie he's never seen when the title of said movie is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  Besides, it was a good episode.  That alone makes it worth keeping
