1. This would actually be pretty effective. There are shows that only get minimal attention while I'm multitasking. But when I'm fast forwarding over the commercial, I have to look at the screen to see when I'm done!
2. They'd better leave enough of the commercial that we can tell when to stop fast forwarding.
3. This could only work if the same advertiser played payed for the "popup" right? They couldn't get away with clobbering an ad with someone elses even in fast forward, could they?
Nice! How do I train a second instance of spamassassin on these words? I don't want to delete them like spam, but an automatic scorecard would be cool.
Taking a promotion or a raise instead of leaving for a new job is usually a bad, bad idea.
Not true. My company (a large telecom company) pays "the market rate". Another offer is considered proof that you're worth more. Automatic match. No hard feelings.
Liberals come from cities, Conservatives come from rural areas.
My parents and theirs and on back were rural poor.
Everyone I know from those connections are staunch democrats. (My mom was told she had to marry a democrat:)
But your correlation may be largely true, now. These things change over time. I think the popularity of Reagan caused a lot of it. I think it's effective marketing of the repulican party.
It used to be Republican == Rich and Democrat == Working Man. Somewhere along the way it became Republican == Personally Responsible and Democrat == Intellectuals Supporting Bums on Welfare.
When did the South and and breadbasket states go republican?! This didn't use to be the case!! The republicans used an image of the cities (bums on welfare) to gain the rural constituants.
I bought into the new view for a while. I voted republican some when I thought it stood for Personal Responsibility and Not Wasting Gov Money On Social Programs. Now I plan to vote democrat because I'd rather see the government spend money on social programs than war.
...has been throwing a lot of light on the tactics of the FCC lately. (Like fines for things that happened years earlier, withholding license renewals for companies that want to take the issue to court, etc.) This is probably a response.
As someone else already pointed out, they're putting the burden of proof on the accused not the accuser.
Get a Paladin Toner and Probe (somewhere around $80) or something similar. Get your son/wife/trainedchimp to go through jacks plugging in the toner (cellphones help here; or just yell real loud) while you tone the cable to find which one is which.
Slower but cheaper: Just use the link status lights on whatever laptops, hubs, etc. you have.
There is little information or recent work on how to extract the video out of a TiVo box (except for extractstream), and don't even think about bringing it up on TiVo fan forums.
Some forums are anti-extraction, others aren't.

I've been reading about these too. IMO, it's a little early. In 6 or 12 months there will be significantly more of these to choose from. I'm going to make my old DVD player last.

We need to get off the planet.
If you don't need the DVR functionality of MythTV, check out geexbox.

Not Michigan. FYI

This appears to let you talk to D-VHS decks. Will it let you emulate one? And talk to a cable box and TV?

Because he asked for the Ex-Box.
I think ClarkConnect is another "distro". Never used it.

I guess I'm getting old or something. I'd love to live in space. But I don't like those odds.
I'm running GeeXBoX on an old laptop. It's a very nice distro. Eventually, I'll probably build my own mini-itx system.
I wish someone would hurry up and do this for linux.
I want my HD MythTV.

... a "way for new programmers to develop applications for both Windows and Linux"!!! Why didn't anyone think of this sooner!
