The Mighty Mouse doesn't come with a second button, it comes with a capacitance sensor, and operates on the assumption that every person removes their left finger from the mouse when right-clicking. This is completely inane, considering how easy and cheap it would have been to just add a second freaking button.
With software (Linux) RAID the actual RAID set is just partitions on the physical drive, not the whole entire drive. Linux software RAID uses a block device, which can be either a partition or the entire disk.
How about onto a separate LVM LV? Oh wait, you'd have to get the alternate install disc for that. That's one of my biggest pet peeves with Ubuntu. LVM is pretty much essential these days, and you have to jump through hoops t get to it.
By "actual functionality", do you mean the ability to execute another program? My Windows XP systems do that just fine, and yes, they talk just fine to "server class" OSes.
If you mean something else, I'm curious what shell you use.
Sigh. Every time a TiVo article gets posted, I have to do this. Here we go.
Have you looked at any of TiVo's features in the last, oh, 7 years? TiVo can do a large subset of what you can do with a MythTV box, "Media Center-ish" PC (whatever that means), and has a service to download stuff. With a TiVo, you can use it as a DVR, transfer recordings to your PC, play your own music, play music on the internet, play purchased movies that are downloaded to your TiVo, check traffic, check weather, check movie listings, buy movie tickets, and that's just using their out-of-the-box supported features. They have an open API for application development that makes the possibilities nearly endless.
And as a bonus, since it's "done right", people like me can watch TV without worrying about my guide data provider vanishing, or my wife calling me because the damn front-end needs restarting.
Based on every cable company's DVR I've seen, they better be looking elsewhere for lunch.
The new apple mighty mouse (which comes with macs) does in fact come with two buttons
No, it doesn't. It comes with some fancy circuitry to try and detect when it thinks you want a right-click. I don't know if most people leave their index finger on the mouse when right-clicking (I do), but it won't work if you do, and that's pretty brain dead. How hard would it have been to just put two physical buttons in there?
I can't mod you down since I posted, so I'll reply instead.
a standard QAM or ATSC tuner is useless for hi-def.
Not only are you wrong as pointed out below, but an ATSC tuner is far from useless. It will allow me to receive OTA channels, which look vastly superior to the compressed crap signal that the cable company sends.
Now...what in the world makes their Tivo branded netword adapter different than any other one?
No special connector, but perhaps a combination of a particular wireless chipset and maybe hacked firmware on the adapter. They're most likely doing it to ensure consistency and, of course, generate more revenue.
They might . There have been several instances of "limited time" offers to transfer lifetime service. Last year there was one to transfer to the Series 3, and there's one right now to transfer to the Series 2 dual-tuner.
The TiVo HD is eligible for the multi-service discount, so I'll be all over this.
The obvious thing to do would be to have tux somewhere on the frontpage at www.dell.com. Right. It's only fair, because there's a link to systems with Windows.
I can't remember the time I've needed to use command line stuff in windows How about getting your IP, gateway, DNS server, or MAC address? I really don't know if there's another way to do this other than ipconfig, but I sure haven't found one.
Er, interesting "nitpick" you have there:
By default, there is no root password on Ubuntu. Eh? The root account is disabled, which is completely and utterly different than the account having no password.
You're downloading from the wrong source, then. My TiVo recently deleted an episode of Lost, so I went and got it from BT. I put the ~350MB XviD file on a USB stick, popped it in my DVD player, and the picture quality was stunning. It was nearly as good as OTA HD.
deprecate the Win32 apps one at a time in favor of the Linux apps (Evolution for Outlook, for example) Ha! You must not actually use Evolution, or you'd never say that. I have for several years, and man, what a pile of dog crap it is. It's slow, buggy, and unreliable. And I only use it with POP/IMAP, and not Exchange. I can only imagine what a train wreck the exchange support is. I recently got an XP system on my desk at work, and plan on migrating to Outlook. From my past experience, it works great.
Why do I use it? Because it's there, and Thunderbird, for some retarded reason, refuses to use multiple SMTP servers (last I checked).
The reasons aren't technical. People despise Red Hat because they "sold out" and make money. Pure and simple. People will eventually despise Ubuntu if LTS becomes the success that RHEL has.
There's nothing to do in Athens, Ohio except drink and screw ... which is much less fun than rioting, getting murdered execution-style, or burning to death as a result of arson.
Most of the OU grads I've known have been office assistants, who no doubt have transported their surfing skills to the workplace. Funny, most of the OU grads I know have very successful careers. About every OSU grad I know has a communications degree and would have been better off saving their money, time, and safety (from living in a high-crime area right next to the ghetto).

You actually mean Fake RAID, which is a bad idea for a variety of reasons. You're much safer using pure software RAID provided by the OS.

Thanks for playing, though.
A friend recently forced me to watch this movie. I can't believe I was depriving myself of it for all these years.
Kernel who?
redundant RAID array of inexpensive disks
There ya go.

Got any info/links on building one of these?

Don't worry though, it'll be hacked...

Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
Unfortunately, this adequately conveys my surprise...
Oh wait. No there isn't.
Well how about that. A correct, helpful answer. I didn't see the DNS servers at first, but that's hidden behind the "Details" button.
Thanks!
First, that's not an answer.
Second, you're assuming everyone has a router, and knows how to get to that information.
And lastly, even if everyone does, there are lots of problems with your "solutions":

Neither. It's the fact that GP poster doesn't know how to search.
