The players can always see the context of the question, the category and its value, as they're considering their answer; at home, we can't see any of that. I think they'd take away some of the annoyance for home viewers if they'd show that context on-screen while a question is being considered. If you're watching casually, you can "play along" without having to pay so much attention to what the selected category is.
I ran a line in to my receiver's changer input, and leave a plug in my center console. When I get in, my iPod plays from my entire library of music, right through the receiver. I get out, and I've still got all my music with me. Why leave it all in the car?
>Neither unit can record Dolby Digital, while the Dish/DTV-based units can and have digital outputs as well.
The DirecTiVo can. My receiver fully recognizes the source, and it's fed from an optical connection fro the TiVo. It even has the DD logo right on the front.
There is no re-encoding, at least on the TiVo. I have both a DirecTV unit and a stand-alone player, and the DirecTV picture from a recording is the same as straight-from-the-dish. It's *certainly* not the same as the stand-alone. The dish version is crystal-clear, with none of the MPEG-gy artifacting that the SA player has.

Last I checked, 100MB of RAM is a few US$. IDEA rocks so much, I don't mind the RAM usage. I do wish it responded a bit faster, but it's productivity gains are enough to compensate, IMO.
I downloaded after reading this post, and I must admit that I'm blown away. I've been using NetBeans and JBuilder, and this is better than both on most counts. The only complaints I have so far are that I wish it had JBuilder's CVS integration and servlet development tools. Otherwise, it spanks both the others.
PS: I'm using Mac OS X right now, and IDEA works great on it.
I'm posting this from my OS X-powered TiBook, and I've never been happier with a computer. I have it running all day and hooked up to a 21" monitor in dual-screen mode. I get to use the great LCD screen as an extension of the 21", and it's marvelous. Yes, it's $2600, but it's the best laptop (maybe the best personal computer) I've ever owned. I have a Thinkpad T21 that work gave me, and I never even carry it -- no contest whatsoever.
Components like hard drives don't handle things like road vibration and super hot days in super tight spaces with no air flow. Does it have something to handle these issues? How will it handle the inevitable HD errors with no other interface than voice? I don't see anything on the site other than 'buy a quality hard drive' stuff, but I may have missed it.

I'm looking at my copy now, so it's available. ;)

Isn't one of the functions of the upcoming iSync that it can also sync up different Macs? I'm pretty sure that Jobs mentioned this.

There is a Linux version of Q3. Check out the demo here.

Linux may be the Choice of a New Generation, but Windows sure as hell ain't The Real Thing. ;)
