Stop subsidizing farms to lay fallow, subsidize gym memberships. :)

Tax the everliving hell out of Big Pharma and Big Oil. Like that would ever happen.

Cable (Cox Cable with HD-DVR)

Firefly in HD, obviously.

Subscribe to netflix.
Put the dvd in my pc.
Start dvdshrink.
Save output file to a separate folder for each movie. no need for RFID then.
250GB harddrive is what, $50 or $60 now? That holds about 50 dvds worth of movies. true, not HD-DVD or blu-ray, but still.

Personally, I use Cucusoft's iPod conversion suite to rip entire DVD's to my iPod's format. Earlier tonight I watched some Veronica Mars (season 1), and some Scrubs (season 3) that I had ripped on my home pc earlier today. Also loaded on my device are a bunch of videos downloaded from Google Videos where you can download any video in iPod format.

I have not had to make a single purchase through ITMS for music OR movies.

I 'd rather just record something on my camcorder and transfer it to my iPod later.
