Note you are comparing 2 different things. You can still use firewire w/o the dock. The dock is pretty much a "passthrough". I use the firewire cable on my PC all the time, just no dock. The dock to me is useless b/c I have one of those neoprin (sp?) cases that has a 'port' for a dock cable, but would need to remove the iPod from the case to use the dock.
If it doesn't come w/ a firewire cable, I picked up the combo USB/Firewire cable for about $20 at CompUSA a while ago (when the 40GB 3G iPods were out).
Most people in the coming years are going to want HD content from their cable and satellite providers. That will require proprietary set-top boxes that will not natively interface with TIVOs.
That is why Tivo is working on a CableCard TiVo. You won't need a cable box to work with a multi-tuner TiVo box for this. Once the cable companies are required to support CableCard 2.0, it won't be an issue.
I'm sorry, but I feel no pity for people being caught this way. Its very clear when you start working somewhere that the computers you use are the property of the employer, and you should expect no privacy from these machines. They used company owned BlackBerries because they thought it would be secret (implying that they knew other company computers were not). If you use something company owned because you think it is secure, while other company propery is not secure, it just shows you dumb enough to be caught. If they were so concerned about their privacy, they should not have used any company property.
Wake up! We're not special.. the construction industry has been doing huge projects of equal complexity for centuries. Get past your intellectual snobbery and start working together..
You have obviously not been to Boston to experience the Big Dig. Billions over budget, years and years late, and now, its leaking. Construction has the same issues.
Best bet is to use STRIP -- Secure Tool for Remembering Important Passwords for PalmOS. I've been using it since my PilotPro days. Great tool, keeps everthing encrypted on the palm, has a master password for STRIP, forgets it when palm is turned off or switched to a different app. And its GPLed.
I don't know, maybe because the dinosaurs existed, millions of years ago? Maybe because there is a direct evolutionary line from the monkey to humans? Maybe because the SCIENCE shows it.
Just wait, soon Kansas science will take over and we won't be teaching evolution. We'll be teaching that burning more coal and oil will improve the environment. We'll be teaching who knows what other Bush-science. Can't wait to see what that does to our science scores...
Equifax: First article under Equifax News, middle right of the page, 'The FACT act...'
Experian: First article under 'Credit education' and 'Consumer alerts' 'Learn more about getting your free annual credit file disclosure'
Transunion: A little more non-obvious, but link text is 'personal credit report at no charge.' under 'other credit report options' takes you to a link that assumes you know what the FACT act is, but takes you to the site.
Most of the requests do require very specific questiosn to be answered, unlikly to be known by anyone (other than immediate family member, who you hopefully can trust) before displaying on-line. In some cases, they will only mail it to your home address. One of them (I forget which) had a 'test' where you had to answer questiosn about specific bills you have received (what was the amount owed on a certain date) or multiple choice questions, with quite a few that were none of the above, etc.
The fact that all 3 credit reporting companies (TransUnion, Equifax and Experian) all have links to this site makes it sound very non-phishing to me.
As a Massachusetts resident, we have been able to get a free annual report for quite some time, which I have been doing for hte past 4-5 years. I have seen no increase in junk mail or telemarketing from it (although we have also had a do not call list before the national one, so that also would block calls).
While it would be nice if you received them automatically, it certainly makes sense to get them, especially for free. The credit reports you get do include what others see, and more, although they do not include credit scores, which are not technically part of the report, but rather derived from it.
I woiuld guess it is more a physicical issue. Processors are probalby arranged 3x4, and can fit that way into a 2 foot wide case to fit onto an "average" desk. Stacking these boards 8 high gets to a height that can fit under a desk.
I'll add to the Boston thing. Concord Rotary on Rte 2, prime example. Rte 2 comes in w/ 2 lanes, and exits w/ 2 lanes, 3 other entrances with 1 lane, the entrances with 1 lane typically back up for at least a mile in rush hour, in addition to the lanes going with rush hour back up for at least 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile. Not good in any case. Lights might suck as much, but the rotary is not the solution (You also have people exiting the rotary from the inner lane where 2 lanes exit. Makes for good physics problem.
As far as boot floppies, memtestx86, hard drive diagnostics, etc, I would send you to Bart's Boot Disk Creation site (the one mentioned the other day here for their Windows boot disk) and look into their "corporate boot disk" routine, especially the boot CD part of it. I heavily modified this (to allow the network and CD-rom to co-exist) and added things like hard drive diag tools from all of the major vendors (some were easier than others, some insisted on creating ISO images, so I need to mount that ISO, then extract their utils, etc). It already includes support for memtestx86, and I also added the off-line NT password editor (you can select multiple boot images, so just needed to add the linux one mentioned on other part of the site.
It also uses some cygwin tools (dd, etc) to make it so that you can create a bootable CD by emulating the creation of a boot floppy via DD, so you can create one w/o the need for an actual floppy (I would recommend hacking it to create 2.88MB floppies rather than 1.44 MB floppies (need to search its config files to handle this)
Well, actually, I was pleasantly shocked to see Neal, the former singer for Spock's Beard up on slashdot. (Listening to Snow, Spock's last CD w/ Neal right now).
While many never have heard of Spock's, they are pretty big in the Progressive Rock scene.
Nothing other than their privacy policy. Doing demographics has _ALWAYS_ been included in Tivo's privacy policy, and you have _ALWAYS_ been able to opt out, if you want.
Besides, as many people in the non/. world have said, why not view this as an oppoptunity to influence the market? Maybe enough people's habbits will kill these idiotic reality shows.
The first would be a hash code (and Tivo would likely have to do this themselves, probably with 95% automation and 5% human intervention) that indicated the show, the season and the episode. Masking the code would enable you to determine the show or the season or the episode.

As the great George Carlin once said, look at how dumb the average person is, and realize that half are even dumber.
I can just see someone in the lower half trying to argue against that fact.

I agree, that would be nice, but at the same time, most phishing sites look offical as well.

According to the specs, the 40GB does have a remote:
Earbud headphones, dock, remote, carrying case, AC adapter, FireWire cable, USB 2.0 cable, 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire adapter
I do like that they also come w/ a USB cable.

Funny, I remember when installing iTunes on my laptop, it WARNED your that this would happen.
While I see MusicMatch not being happy about this, it isn't like it wasn't an expected result of the iTunes installer.

Westford, MA (out on 495 south of Lowell) is still good...
