More on the Replay TV 4000

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the oh-thats-so-yummy dept.

boskone noted that Replay TV's site has updated with a variety of new information that will definitely allow the Tivo/Replay flamewars to escalate. Besides the networking capability we mentioned earlier (send shows to friends, or to other Replay's on your home LAN), and the gigantic 320 hour maximum storage capacity, there are more detailed specicifcations. Also notable is the progressive video output port, and the fact that it actually requires ethernet, but doesn't require a subscription! I'd love to try one of these buggers out when they ship.

  1. assembly woes by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I have been using tasm+tlink for a DOS app that I am writing but it turned out i needed MMX support and that forced
    me to change my assembler. I chose nasm because I have been using it before in my other programs. I am still linking
    everything with tlink.

    The problem is: Everything compiles and links without warnings and usually runs but I can't link the debug version
    correctly - if I do: nasm16 -f obj -g myfile.asm tlink /zi myfile.obj I get some messages
    about wrong segment offsets and don't get any executable (if I exclude -g and use tlink /x everything is fine)

    Other thing I found out is that the code mov ax,seg variable mov ds,ax mov di,var loads ds:di with different (however
    valid) segment and offset than equivalent tasm code. My question is: what should I do to make nasm produce object
    files that exactly match ones produced with tasm, so that I can link debug executable and don't get these segment/offset
    differences?

    I agree that Taco's an illiterate dumbass, but I've a nit to pick in your post: "the 70's" is acceptable if you mean an abstract concept of "the Seventies" rather than the span of ten years between 1970 and 1980. Yes, there is a difference -- contrast "in the '70s American peanut production nearly doubled" and "people loved to wear leisure suits in the 70's".

    Of course, to be honest -- it is bad taste to use numbers in written text. Try to spell out numbers the long way, if at all possible.

    For you British wankers: "bugger" is a non-existent word in American English. Chances are, people reading this site will have no idea what you mean.

    For the American dumbass: "bugger" in British English means "anal sex". Don't use the word, it's bad.
