Not bad. Use their online magazine to predict the fall of TiVo the company. Then sit back as the stop price drops, making them ripe for takeover. Once consumed *burp* take the existing technology and incorporate it into the XBox.
People bitch when/. posts releases the moment that they hit the main server and before the propegate, and then people bitch when they give the mirrors time to be ready for the/. onslaught.
Really, dig your panties out of your ass and understand that waiting a couple of days for the servers to get the new release is a Good Thing.

We'll accuse you of a repost of old news then, too.
How are you going to be able to inflict acts of aggression out onto others when you way 550 lbs. and are no longer able to get up from the couch that you sit on while playing those violent games?
What if Batman were public domain? EVERYONE would have a Bat signal and there would be one jackass who would light theirs up just to get Batman to pick up a short case on the way over.
Don't say stuff like this, even in jest. I rely on the deep pockets of obsessive gamers to continually push for advances in computer hardware performance so that I can buy the top-of-the-line from 6 months ago for bargain-basement (read, true value) prices.
You are extending beyond the law. Possession of child pornography is illegal. Having child porn on your computer has been determined to be possession. It has nothing to do with what is "nasty". It has everything to do with possessing something which is illegal.
So then, should the states be in the business of blocking every website that deal with activities that are, in that state, illegal? How about immoral? Sounds like quite an undertaking.
Sounds like the Internet Age version of book burning to me.
No, I think that you are missing the point of the other posters. You need to remember that there is no TiVo for your life, so therefore you shouldn't be obsessing about whether you have "every Seinfeld, Buffy, +20 other shows episode available within a few seconds, in perfect broadcast quality for ever".
eBay the TiVo. Go outside. It's an amazing world out there.
Thanks for posting the link to that poll, chrisd. I was going to buy this drive until I saw that the/. masses think that using "CowboyNeals photographic memory for all my data storage needs" is the way to go.

If they weren't Microsoft it would be illegal.
Feature bloat starts the minute that they include a feature that you don't use. Everything up until that point is great.
The problem is that not everyone wants the same features.
"Blood covers all the bases..."
That was a disturbing image.
That sig line is damned funny. Pop Tart particulates are now affixed to my monitor.
Minor correction. That's why MICROSOFT has legislators.

Not to worry. Someone will post the instructions on how they overclocked it to a higher frequency any day now.
You can find the Zip Zaps website here, at least until it gets /.'ed.
I hope that they offer really small Type-R stickers...

Were there any OSes you couldn't find?
Yes. Windows 1.0...Oh, and I couldn't find an OS that would tell me how to successfully deal with girls either.
You've just geeked 37 OS'es onto your PC. Just open your bedroom door (in your Mom and Dad's house) and wait for the babes to come stampeding in.

I filter emails looking for the character sequence FW in the subject. Gets `em every time.
Read all about it over in their forums in this thread.
Let's keep the chain going by sending your emails of disapproval here.

Ridding our world of the evidence of kiddie porn does not get rid of kiddie porn.

Step 1) Raise red flags about WiFi theft.
Step 2) Come out with a new service that helps secure WiFi.
Step 3) Make lots and lots of money.
People will buy your product only when they think that they need it.
