Build Your Own PVR

An anonymous reader submits: "One geek's trials and tribulations of buying a ReplayTV, hating it, and deciding to build his own Linux PVR from nothing. The first try sinks into the swamp (hardware problems). The second try sinks into the swamp (more hardware problems). The third try... you get the idea. But success, finally, based on SageTV, a Windows PVR client. Makes you wonder if current Linux PVR apps are just too much of a pain to get working well?"

I built my own PVR: Playboy Video Recorder ... it works great, I only needed a VHS and a stolen signal!!!!!

Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 56

[Anonymous Coward]

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

You say this guy's a geek? ; )

Re:Windows Saves the Day!!

[Anonymous Coward]

You're a fucking cum-gurgling aids-infested faggot, you piece of shit. Please, suck the shit straight out of my asshole. I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time and rip your mother's uterus out with a fork and prevent your birth. After I finish raping her of course. However I doubt your were born, your mom probably shit you out and scooped you out of the toilet and starded feeding you, and holy shit it grew into lavaface!

I JUST STROKED MY PENIS UNTIL I EJACULATED

[Anonymous Coward]

I was looking at pictures of pretty naked women. They made my penis very stiff so I had to do something about it. I now have semen drying on the blanket covering my chair. Ejaculating is fun. I suggest you masturbate as soon as possible!

That is an excellent idea. Sorry, gang, no more trolls from me tonight. Time to go beat off!

I have one response to this reasoned article

Re:pushy

I thought the subject of your post was "pussy" and I got all excited for a moment.

Re:MYTHTV does this allready!

[Anonymous Coward]

The real myth is that your mom isn't an aids spreading crack whore, with green juice dripping out of her cunt. She is. I still enjoy raping her though, but you can bet your nuts that I double wrap it!

Still suffering from premature ejaculation then?

[Anonymous Coward]

You can cum while double wrapped?

I bet you cum in under 15 seconds, right?

And you were able to do all of this with Windows? That's mighty nerdy, mister!

A few more days of tinkering and I have a n64/snes console/pvr/dvd player/mp3 player that shares my windows mp3 collection.
