Distributed TiVo Code Cracking

Twostep writes "With the newest version of the TiVo software (Version 3.2), TiVo has once again changed the secret password to enter "backdoor" mode, which lets advanced users enable hidden features. Unlike last time, people were not able to quickly find the new code, so a distributed computing project was started to find the backdoor codes. You can read about it Here, grab the Linux or Windows clients and pitch in some CPU time for a good cause."

    Trolltalk has recently been invaded by a bunch of juvenile idiots. I have been trolling slashdot for years, and never has it been in this sad state. I say jump ship while you still can!

    Remove TIVO cover. Make sure it is plugged in and recording the Comedy Channel. Enjoy CC with your favorite 6pack. When last bottle is half empty, get up and urinate all over Tivo. Laugh out loud. Rip the cables off with force and toss it's sorry ass out on the lawn.

    Feeling creative? Tie it to your car bumper and take it for a spin.

    we must inform you that you are a wanker with too much time on your hands. You should take other things into your hands, i.e. wank more. At least this would make some sense.
