  1. MythTV on Nielsen Struggles To Track Modern Viewing Habits · · Score: 1

    For a few bucks a month in cash, or maybe even free SchedulesDirect service, I would happily install a plug-in to MythTV that would tell the ratings people what I've been watching.

  2. As John Glenn said... on Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Oh, my God. I'm sitting on a pile of low bids!"

  3. X11 on Leopard as the New Vista? · · Score: 1

    X11 is in terrible shape in Leopard. You can't launch it from the dock. You can't switch to it from other applications and expect the windows to come to the foreground (you have to click the X11 icon a couple of times). Multi-mouse button emulation is busted. It doesn't work with Expose. The list goes on: see http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=80171

    I realize that lots of these bugs are fixed if you overwrite Apple's binaries with the community-compiled X11.app; but I'm rather frustrated because it was working just fine in Tiger and became completely broken in Leopard. I'm glad I upgraded at home (where I use X11 occasionally) and not at work (where I use X11 all the time).
