What about a dumb TV with a Roku Xpress?

Behind the scenes: In the 90s, actor Chris Barrie was simultaneously playing a git (Rimmer) on sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf and... also a git (Gordon Brittas) on sitcom The Brittas Empire, and he asked the Red Dwarf writers to give him a break from being a git.

So they created "Ace Rimmer", a counterpart from a parallel universe who embodies / takes the piss out of every cheesy cool guy / hero cliché ever (with every woman and man swooning over him: "What a guy!").

When Barrie eventually decided to leave the series, the writers created the ultimate Ace Rimmer episode for him to go out on a high. This scene is from that episode.

“His behavior was disrespectful and disruptive and in violation of our code of conduct.”

Remember, folks: you have to obey the MSG code of conduct even when you're thousands of miles away from MSG, and years before going there!

They thought all they were getting was a piece of the latest hype. Now they've got leverage over the entire govt of the United Fucking States!

I remember seeing a doc about Wall of Death motorcycle riders. The bikes they used? Century-old 1910 Indians.

Why? Because when lives depend on it, you want a solution with the absolute fewest possible things that can go wrong. Not the latest fancy thing with all the bells and whistles.

A lot of people did: home, portable, car. But a lot of people had also left them behind for ordinary CDs, CDs full of MP3s and dedicated MP3 players like Rios and iPods.
