I've tried this on several boxes delivered straight from TiVo and none worked for the first Guided Setup. After the first time however your trick worked. Did you have a new or used box?
Mine was straight out of the box. I did two failed attempts at doing it over my packet8 voip line. I cursed for a few minutes, then I Google'd for a minute, found dial prefix. Voila, everything worked!
ok-- but you couldn't sniff the activation packets could you? in a sense of knowing what control commands/strings/bits went between tivo and your box...
Actually if I were interested I would have been able to capture the packets in their entirety. I didn't really care, just wanted to get my shit working however.
yes, you could see the individual voip packets contents, but can you determine what passwords were exchanged?
Re-read my statement, I said I could NOT get this thing to register via VoIP due to issues. I said I got it to work via ethernet. I didn't state it in the clearest fashion, but to reiterate what I was saying, when you first pull the unit out of the box plug in a USB nic and set your dial prefix to ",#401" and it will register via ethernet instead of attempting to dial out through the phone line.
I was unclear, the fact is, you have to provide tivo with a pots sounding dialtone to initialize the system. (my employers inability to use voip may have been unique, but needing a dial tone is required)
I was unclear in the order I stated things, hope this helps.
the current tivo can use ethernet, AFTER THE INITIAL SETUP phone call to activate..
Not true, I used ethernet to activate my unit. I only had a VoIP line and had issues getting my tivo to dial up through this. All I had to do was put ",#401" as my dial prefix.
So much for running Linux on Bubba the Big Mouth Bass. That was my dedicated firewall too!
I was looking at the Big Mouth Billy Bass Linux page: http://bigmouth.here-n-there.com/ but I don't see any mention of getting ethernet running on this . ..
Perhaps you could point me in the right direction?
Precisely... anyone can setup an asterisk server. Want to spam everyone on vonage? Temporary ISP account, asterisk, feed in the number range and write an agi to do it. Prerecord the message and have it played on answer.
Think that's bad, wait till they start taking advantage of things like good ol Bellster:
The guy said laptop memory, so it would be pc133 sodimm 512bm. The cheapest Pricewatch pulls up is $74.49. The sig wanted it for 15 bucks cheaper, close but no cigar there spanky . . .
he could just keep it in his slot and make a nightly carbon-copy of his main HD
Unless the machine was identical, putting this carbon copy onto another machine will be painful. The 2k/XP HAL make it hard since it zeros in on all hardware and doesn't recover from major changes very well. Not a problem to restore once you get the machine back, but if the problem was software you are back to square one.
No external messiness to deal with. And if his machine goes down, he just pops out the drive and pops it into a loaner machine.
Not true for anything but plain old documents. Any software installed (I'm assuming this is Windows) will probably not run off of an external drive without reinstallation due to DLL installations and registry changes that happen during the install. If you Ghost the machine off of the external HD then you are screwed unless the loaner is identical. Even then, the owner might object to this.
In addition, as you've described, finding a capacity drive bigger than 5g is damn near impossible. Your best bet is to just use an external solution. An external laptop hd via usb would do just fine.
I'm guessing you're unaware of the rape(including children) and murder that was going on as well. Read the Taguba report(what little of it that's been released) by the military if you don't believe it.
Point of fact I was unaware. I will Google for this later.
The press has pretty much ignored what was going on at Abu Graib. Thus there are people like you who still believe it was all fraternity style hijinks and whatnot. There's a reason those five mercenaries were killed and strung up in the same city as the prison...
If what you say is true, then this is fucked up. The news was running all this crap about "torture in abu graib" but all they showed and talked about was goddamn naked twister and a dog collar on some dude. It's about time we got real news in this country...
American kids are overprotected and eventually have no insight on the true horror's out there.
This is true. I mean just look at what passes for torture in the states. Soldiers make Achmed play naked twister and that's considered torture, meanwhile Achmed's cousins are cutting heads off of American's!!!!
Sure there could be better things. But there's no such thing as bad publicity, and the more publicity Linux gets, the better.
I agree there are examples of when bad publicity is a good thing. For example Paris Hilton's sidekick get's hacked, and suddenly there is a huge spike of sidekicks.
However I'd hate to be Check Point right now, everyone (incl. Slashdot, FoxNews, CNN) keeps saying Check Point lost thousands of peoples data when in fact that was Choice Point. For a security company losing thousands of peoples data is a bad thing . . .
Jesus! I've seen this mistake on the national news and now on slashdot. I thought the geeks would realize there is a difference.
Let me make it clear, CheckPoint makes security software, rfid badges and firewalls. They are not the ones who sell all of your information to credit card companies. CheckPoint has no info that you didn't give them. ChoicePoint is the one that fucked up!!!
Basically, when you put aside the software pirates (99% of Slashdot users who use Photoshop) and the rich artist/musician types (who would buy the Mac hardware anyway), OS X for x86 would be a software nightmare. For corporations, it would be a software investment crash. You can't use your legally owned Windows software on it. You also can't use your legally owned OSX PowerPC software. It just would be a failure.
Wine runs Photoshop and MS Office on Linux just fine, and works on any *NIX running on x86. My guess is Photoshop would officially support or work with a company such as Codeweavers to get an OSX version of Wine out there.
Adblock can also kill the floater by preventing it loading. (I prefer "floater" as its alternative meaning in British is that of a turd in water)
I'm pretty sure floater is pretty universal in the English speaking world. ..
I once went to a candle shop with my girlfriend and saw a box filled with a product called "3 inch floaters". A person that worked there came over and said, yeah that get's a lot of people but Corporate won't let us change their name.
No service is enabled by default that I can tell, and I think users must specifically unblock ports for third party server software.
Not true, by default no ports are open. But by default the firewall is turned off, at least on Panther which is what I use.
Speaking of which, I know Mac caters to a demographic that I am not a part of . . . but would it kill them to put "Firewall Settings" under "Security" as well, or instead of under "Sharing"? Why in the hell is the "Firewall Settings" under sharing any damn way?!?!?!?!?!?
You're planning on testing your assembly programs in Virtual PC right? Why not simply run the assembler and debugger in Virtual PC? Am I missing something?
No, he doesn't want to cave in and spend the $ on Virtual PC license. Let me paraphrase what he is saying.
I love Mac's!! I ain't gonna spend $$$ on Virtual PC, and I sure as hell ain't letting a standard beige box invade my kingdom. What are my options for compiling and testing my assembly code for the x86?

or you could get a really cheap mouse that isn't sensitive enough to jitter.
Finally a cheap solution so that my mouse doesn't wail around crazy when I pleasure myself while surfing porn!

The service that lets you share a little and get a lot in the way of free VoIP worldwide. This is soon going to become quite a bitch to deal with.
In the search box, type in "pc133 512mb".

WinFS runs on top of NTFS. Get your information straight.
What facts? The shit don't exist yet . . .

It's still not as much bandwidth as a delivery truck full of hard drives.
Not true, plugging in a truck full of hd's into machines to get the data off will negate any gains from shipping a truck full of drives.
/etc/hosts is only used very early in the boot process on Mac OS X. So you can't actually use it to block addresses. You have to use netinfo instead
Then how in the hell is this iDisk emulation hack working between my iBook and my Linux server?

35.6% seems a pretty poor record for uptime to me.
Obviously written by someone whose never used NT4!

big fucking deal about the Aapro, doesnt even begin to compare to the sun that was reviewed.
.
As someone who has tried both, I beg to differ . .
why is there no hotswappable power supplies?
Appro does have a 2u Quad coming out with hotswappable power supplies. They already have a 2u Dual with hotswappable power supplies.
pretty lame
I have been trolled. . .
Big fucking deal, a 4-way 3u Opteron Server . . .
.
Appro has a Quad 1u unit. Makes for an awesome cluster . .
I do not work for Appro, but I am a customer
I believe he meant the other VoIP, as in Video over IP.
Got any docs on how to do that?

How do you run multiple WinAmp instances? I tried and it just jumps to the current instance.
CTRL-P and go to "General Preferences". Once there, click on "Allow multiple instances" and voila.
