It works the same way your Top Event, or In Demand with today's latest cable boxes ala the Scientific atlanta Explorer 2xxx series. They're just giving it a new name to glaze it over.
You won't be able to purchase a lifetime subscription, you won't have full control over what you can and can't record, they will probally delete things to free up space for you, and the article quoting tivo is right -- Today's cable networks are already pushing the limits of their bandwidth, just exactly what are they going to do now when 500 people (each one second off from each other) decide to watch $SHOW? They can't multicast it. Everybody in the internet business KNOWS multicast over a unicast medium doesn't work, and is expensive as hell.
Actually, the TiVos -- all of them (except those without service) send back to TiVo what you watch. And, if you know where to look you see a build tag "NEILSEN_LOGGING" in the release version file, much like Red Hat's/etc/redhat-release.
I use Pak Alert to track my FedEx, UPS, Airborne Express, or Posten packages; it's even built into an infobot fork, flooterbuck.
Pakalert can email you, or ICQ you. I love it.
my boycott worked! I decided since farscape is gone now that I wouldn't watch any more scifi unless it was already on the TV (I live with two other geeks). I've told my TiVo that I nolonger receive the SCIFI channel, and now I watch ER and the Discovery channel instead. I absolutely hate not having my science-fiction fix, but what else can I do?
I am Richard Harman.
I am Farscape.
I tried to get gpilotd to work, but it kept segfaulting. This may be because I recently moved to Red Hat 8, (which I plan on nuking and moving back to Red Hat 7) I can't STAND bluecurve and Gnome 2.0. That, and Ximian Desktop refuses to install on Red Hat 8 because Ximian doesn't do Gnome 2.0.
Personally, I use Linux more often on my laptop then I do Winbloze 2000, because I have gnumeric, abiword, and evolution. I even purchased the Ximian Exchange Connector for Evolution. What sucks is the connector communicates through the web interface; being slow as balls.
Actually they have looked into it, and have produced atleast one prototype. The Series 2 unit aka "3-chip" is the platform that at some point will support HiDef. The Series 2 TiVo has a PCI bus; and they have specifically stated that they will allow other VARs to drop other devices (eg, HiDef) on to the PCI bus.
Read that EULA again. You can't sue Microsoft. As soon as you click 'Accept' you're waving your rights just like when you strike up a match to start smoking a cigar.
s/c//.
First Class is HORRIBLE. I tried to use as little of it as possible when I was employed at PBS. The IMAP4 implementation is broken, so much that I couldn't use IMAP to access any of the folders (my inbox, and other conferences) through outlook at all. I had to pop the mail off.
I own an IRiverIMP-350 (aka the SlimX) -- You may notice the IMP-100 looks very similar to the AVC SoulPlayer, and the Rio Volt. Reason is, IRiver produces the hardware, and AVC, Rio, and (others) brand the product. Same shit, different colors. The firmware is probally swappable between the 'soulplayer' and the 'IMP-100' and the 'Rio Volt 100'.
The main features I love of the IMP-350 are
It's the thinnest mp3 cd player out there (it uses those gum-stick batteries seen in minidisk players)
Firmware Flashable
Supports ID3 tags
MP3, AAC, and WMF format compatible (I believe OGG format is in the works, it'e mentioned manual)
AC adapter, external battery pack, and it charges it's batteries when you tell it to when it's connected to AC.
It supports both Rockridge extensions, and M$'s Joliet. I have long filenames on my cds, and they all work perfectly (unlike the other piece of plastic shit I purchased off Spamazon for $160 two years ago)
AAAAANNND, a built in FM tuner with presets
Ofcourse there are a bunch more features, and I suggest you read the main product page which includes the specs, what included accessories, and you can BUY it for $149.95 USD.
The FCC has already said that the end consumer will be allowed to "timeshift" programs off air, so PVRs are not illegal in any way when "used as perscribed" 8-)
No, AOL has been picky about nasty clients, not good clients. Throughout the entire trillian fiasco, all gaim users using the oscar or toc protocol did not have any problems. AOL was directly targeting trillian.

Which I might ass is a kick ass movie player for linux --
Last I checked, the documentation says that you *can not* distribute binary forms of the application because
the source code licenses prohibit it
the binaries are compled for a specific arch (eg, k6 3dNOW v.s. MMX, v.s. MMX2, and SSE)
Incorrect. There has always been a "Copy-Permit" bit on each track of a CD -- take a look at cdparanoia when it prints out the list of tracks. you'll see a "Copy" field, and "No" under every track for every (or just about every) cd you've ever purchased.
How the hell does an infra red (which is light, remember) remote work from another room (eg, walls in the way) without any line of sight?
The only way you can do that is if you have some sort of IR -> RF -> IR repeater somewhere inbetween, or use a RF remote.
The Surfboard SB3100 already has NAT suppoort built into it so EVERYONE will be in violation. Go look it up for yourself, if you're on comcast then click this link which should show you some general info about your cablemodem. The cablemodem supports NAT on the 192.168.100.X network.
The manufacturer of a device, is telling me what I can, and cannot do in my own home, with software I purchased for it?
wait a minute, this sounds familiar.
Oh right, it was that blockhead who's the head of the MPAA. Jack Valenti. Once again, another company wants to set rules on private use of their product. What if I do want to use a fork to brush my hair? Maybe that butter knife actually is a screwdriver! (sorry mom)
How the fuck can the place of purchase of an item, used in your own home, make it illegal being used on the product it was designed to be used with?
Aslong as I paid for the product, $MANUFACTURER of both $DEVICE and $PRODUCT shouldn't give a damn.
the problem microsoft sees is this:
Lindows
Windows
^ single letter changed
Even though "Linux" just happens to have the same second and third letters as "Windows" -- they don't care.
The soulplayer is a mp3 cd player, and its tiny. it's user upgradable (burn a cd w/ DMP-01.HEX, and it flashes itself). For $145, it's a steal of a buy. I've been very happy with it. The Rio Volt is the same product, with a different skin.
Do I own a cd player? No. I own a PC that I use to rip my cds to mp3 LEGALLY, and then use a creative nomad to play mp3s. Now this means I have to shell out another $100 to buy a decent cd player. Thanks.
Bashprompt, the original BASHISH was cool. I helped the project a little, providing screen captures of the themes, and making a theme of my own for bashprompt.
Their server was recently cracked, and they've run out of funding. Lets all pitch in and save this project.
