Yes, but windoze sucks. It only took me a weekend because I had issues getting the program data to load properly and the PVR-150 card was not picked up with the correct tuner id. Most of the time I spent was researching the PVR-150 issue.
MythTV kicked your ass? n00b. Had mine up and running in a weekend. Only recently stopped using it because I got a Dish HD DVR when I bought my house and didn't care to mess with making it work with that. *shrug* Would still be in use if my brother wanted to pay schedulesdirect or whomever for listing info and record stuff.
Regardless of what FS you use, you will NOT lose 80GB just by formatting it. If I'm buying a 1TB drive (1024GB!!), it should not report in ANY OS any less than 1023GB allowing for all FS data, and that's being generous.
On the flip side, food products are allowed a 20% margin in weights. Those granola bars you buy that say they're 2oz? They can range from 1.6oz to 2.4oz and it's perfectly allowable. Where's the outrage there?
Even better yet: Just like many CC providers allow you to create a one-time-use number for a transaction, they should create a system that you can create a one-vendor use number. Such as creating a number just for your cell-phone recurring bill, but locked to that vendor. One number for your cell, another for your broadband and another for your [insert random auto-billed payment here]. Then even if someone DID get that number, they'd have to figure out how to make it look like the payment is going to the right place.
I assume there might be some other issues with just discarding the CC# after a transaction. For instance, if someone stole my CC# and used it fraudulently, I wouldn't want the site the offender used the card at to dump that info. I'd kinda like to know who used my card and where they shipped the goods so the authorities can track them down...
What about recurring payments? I have my cellphone (as well as other payments) set to automatically bill every month. I'd kinda like that data to be secure...
