The only way I've gotten around it is a DVR for 2 shows at the same time, and watching the third one online. Not the best, but it works.

Didn't you notice the obvius communism references, honestly that was the worst part of the whole show, it felt so cold war with the red fear, and the big bad spy agency with communism type posters and the spies calling each other comrade :)

that's what i've been doing, but sports really throws that off.

i caught the whole comrade stuff in the saving orion episode, but i thought the posters we're sort of a retro art choice, since it seems to be the trendy thing. but dismissed the whole communism angle thinking it was just sort of a writers' joke/reference, because i've always regarded chuck as sort of a modern homage to cold war era spy spoofs like get smart. if fulcrum were just communists, that would be totally anticlimactic.

Amazing episode! I really want a new season but... the show feels like it's finished. The ending just completed it. If it did come back, I hope to god it doesn't suck.

If it's done so well this far, how could it just start sucking? This is Chuck we're talking about!

So you think that Chuck uploading a news intersect into his head, and the episode ending with "To Be Continued..." wraps the show up? :p

If you, the Zap2it readers, were in charge of network scheduling for next season, then all the talk about "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Chuck" being on the bubble for renewal would disappear.

The two series have emerged as the overwhelming favorites in our Keep 'em or Kill 'em polls of 27 series that we think could go either way when the networks announce their 2009-10 schedules over the next few weeks. The voters say they want a dozen shows on our list back next season. At the other end of the spectrum, people don't seem to care if "In the Motherhood," "The Game" or "Worst Week" ever grace their TV screens again.

"Terminator" fans mobilized heavily to vote in their show's poll. As of 2 p.m. ET Thursday, the show had racked up 26,553 votes -- more than twice as many as any other show on the list -- and 86 percent of them (22,711) say FOX should keep the modestly rated show (5.3 million viewers this season) on the air.

The other big winner in the poll was "Chuck," which ended its second season on NBC Monday. It's getting 80 percent support from the more than 11,000 people who have voted so far.

Other shows enjoying heavy support include "Castle" (69 percent yes), "Dollhouse" (64 percent), "Life" (62 percent) and "Samantha Who?" (60 percent).

ABC's "In the Motherhood" and The CW's "The Game," on the other hand, are getting next to no love. Close to 90 percent of the people voting on those two shows have said to kill them. The results aren't much better for CBS' "Worst Week," which is only getting 16 percent support.

Here's the full rundown of voting so far. All totals are as of 2 p.m. ET Thursday.

"Better Off Ted" - Keep it: 57%, Kill it: 43% (9,979 votes)

"Castle" - Keep it: 69%, Kill it: 31% (10,127 votes)

"In the Motherhood" - Keep it: 11%, Kill it: 89% (7,843 votes)

"Samantha Who?" - Keep it: 60%, Kill it: 40% (8,963 votes)

"Surviving Suburbia" - Keep it: 18%, Kill it: 82% (7,615 votes)

"The Unusuals" - Keep it: 58%, Kill it: 42% (8,723 votes)

CBS

"Cold Case" - Keep it: 52%, Kill it: 48% (8,889 votes)

"Eleventh Hour" - Keep it: 43%, Kill it: 57% (8,330 votes)

"Gary Unmarried" - Keep it: 34%, Kill it: 66% (7,940 votes)

"Harper's Island" - Keep it: 44%, Kill it: 56% (8,176 votes)

"The New Adventures of Old Christine" - Keep it: 49%, Kill it: 51% (8,468 votes)

"The Unit" - Keep it: 51%, Kill it: 49% (8,392 votes)

"Without a Trace" - Keep it: 48%, Kill it: 52% (8,490 votes)

"Worst Week" - Keep it: 16%, Kill it: 84% (7,647 votes)

FOX

"Dollhouse" - Keep it: 64%, Kill it: 36% (10,123 votes)

"Lie to Me" - Keep it: 53%, Kill it: 47% (8,651 votes)

"Sit Down, Shut Up" - Keep it: 19%, Kill it: 81% (6,906 votes)

"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" - Keep it: 86%, Kill it: 14% (26,553 votes)

"Chuck" - Keep it: 80%, Kill it: 20% (11,495 votes)

"Life" - Keep it: 62%, Kill it: 38% (9,116 votes)

"Medium" - Keep it: 48%, Kill it: 52% (8,884 votes)

"My Name Is Earl" - Keep it: 43%, Kill it: 57% (8,793 votes)

"Parks and Recreation" - Keep it: 37%, Kill it: 63% (8,351)

The CW

"Everybody Hates Chris" - Keep it: 25%, Kill it: 75% (7,152 votes)

"The Game" - Keep it: 11%, Kill it: 89% (6,352 votes)

"Privileged" - Keep it: 35%, Kill it: 65% (7,429 votes)

"Reaper" - Keep it: 55%, Kill it: 45% (8,526 votes)

poor old CW, no one seems to like any show they do, besides Reaper of course. We just got the CW here on Digital, getting ready for the June conversion I guess.

BTW does Smallville still come on the CW?

Smallville is CW's biggest show gets around 3.1m viewers a week, sometimes around finale time 4m...to answer the question yes it does :p

UNIT getting such high kill it marks? Seriously!? That show is fantastic.

Castle is a solid show. I like Nathan so it's entertaining. I'm glad the marks are high.

yeah my wife has been watching Castle.. Seems to be pretty good.

But my question is, do these numbers really mean anything? I mean will the studio's actually pay attention to these at all?

These sort of polls....probably not they don't mean anything most of the people voting for them would be the people who watch the shows online and not count towards the ratings, it really depends on how big the fanbase is and for Chucks its huge.

might sound a bit noobish but what exactly is Chuck about
When a twenty-something computer geek inadvertently downloads critical government secrets into his brain, his former college friend turned CIA recruits him as a secret agent, all while keeping him out of evil hands.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
