It's got one huge, unbelievably bad flaw for those of us who use the Tivo in the dark - it's friggin symmetrical!
You can't tell which way is up without either looking at it or taking your time to find the Tivo button at the top... so a huge percentage of time when I'm laying in bed, I end up rewinding when I want to fast forward.
I can't believe this was picked as an example of a great remote design... we bitch about how awful it is DAILY.
I tried it a month or so ago and thought it was utter crap. Lots of problems contacting their server, etc., and no response from them on the forums when people were reporting problems.
Plus, it's free now, but they've made no promise it will remain that way. How are they going to support their servers unless they start charging?
I finally got SpamAssassin going here. Use amavisd-new to tag stuff as it flows through a postfix server. Tell your users how to filter based on the headers.
It changed my life. And it's free. And I'm not dependent on anyone else's boxes working.
SpamAssassin does do something similar... they use what they call a "genetic algorithm" to assign scores to the different rules people have made. Pretty similar to what they're doing here.
However, it sounds like they could use this algorithm to find new rules the SA folks haven't thought of yet, to put into SA.
Check out the "Mark's Human Botfly Infestation Story" link. A horrifying prospect to have a couple of these little guys burrowing in your scrotum. No lie.
Well, I gave up on sendmail years ago. Postfix rocks in nearly every way I've found, up to now. Milter is the first feature sendmail had that postfix did not, that I needed.
However, the lack of spam tagging is worth it to me. I still sleep better at night without sendmail waiting to get rooted.
I took a look at spamassassin a few months ago and also thought it looked like a great package.
However, it makes the assumption that the UNIX box it is running on is the final destination for the mail it tags.
My frustration is that I have postfix running on my Internet mail gateway, sending mail internally to our MS Exchange server. This is the Way of the Corporate World, and no amount of bitching and moaning will change it. It's nice to have postfix on the outside; I trust it. But Outlook/Exchange is the way I, my users, and most companies interface with email.
However, I've yet to find a good way to have spamassassin tag the mail on the way through the postfix server. Sounds relatively trivial, but nothing that was out there when I last looked was simple to configure or reliable.
This has *got* to be a common situation for many of us. Is there a Good Solution yet for those of us who'd love to use spamassassin but can't run it on the final mail server?
Maybe on the Replay, but with the TiVo, you cannot skip 30 sec. automagically; you do see the video (no audio) whilst you are fast-forwarding (at one of 3 speeds).
I actually prefer this; there are some pretty cool commercials once in a while. And it's nice to only have to watch them *once*.
Just as the VCR didn't kill the movie industry, so shall this pass. They will likely resort to more product placement, etc, but this is not something new; all advertisement was of this form in the infancy of television.
Greg the Bunny is hands down the best show on television.
The shows bear multiple viewings even better than the Simpsons in their peak. The jokes and gags are richly layered and truly unexpected.
Furthermore, there is not a small amount of social satire. The puppets, ahem "fabricated-Americans", are a metaphor (albeit obvious) for minorities in America.
They deal with race relations in a more adult and realistic manner than just about any show on the air.
And the characters are awesome. Most people mention Eugene Levy and Seth Green. Yes, they're good comic actors, but they are upstaged almost every scene by the puppets, who you quickly learn to accept as actual beings.
I just want to know what Tardy Turtle's story is. In the credits, they show him graduating at the top of his class from Harvard, but in the show he's a total idiot.
"Crayons taste like purple." "Chocolate ice cream goes in the freezer" "The green ones make me horny." "I am singing the quiet song... the Quiet Song... THE QUIET SONG..."
Genius. It's a very adult, very very smart show.
Definitely too smart to be appreciated by the masses. And apparently you.
Moderators - how is it that my post scores a 1, while a REPLY to my post, from an author that either didn't read or didn't comprehend my post, gets a 2?
Do I need to mention Natalie Portman or something?!?
This is technology that's not just useful, but *inevitable*.
Granted, voice over *Internet* may suck significantly, but our main PBX internally is a Cisco IP Phone system.
Works great. All sorts of whizbang features (XML enabled LCD display, for one), and no more seperate voice cabling to run! (and the phones have got integrated switches so you just plug your PC into the phone and the phone into the wall, no extra wiring needed at all)
Pretty cool, Beavis.
Now, if only the voice mail system we have didn't suck, I'd be a lot happier. But it runs on NT, what can you expect?
But the basic concept of voice over IP is an idea whose time has come.
Either this is a lie, or faulty design played a part in the collapse. You don't have to be an engineer to figure out that the lower the fire, the more likely the collapse due to the increasing weight on the affected area.
Perhaps you do have to be an engineer to figure out that the lower the fire, the stronger the columns due to the increasing weight on the affected area.
If they had hit higher, the WTC might have survived because a collapse of the top few floors would not have been catastrophic.
If they had hit lower, the WTC might have survived because the support structures were much more robust (of course the ensuing fires would still have been a problem for those trapped above).
This shit is bad, but this is only the start. The true damage to our country, and our way of life, is yet to come.
Certainly this will mean air travel will be different. Certainly this will mean our government will try to pass all sorts of laws blatantly anti-Constitutional. Certainly this will mean GW will lash out in some ill-advised retaliatoty scheme to try and get revenge.
My heart bleeds for those innocent lives lost today, but even moreso for those people who died for our country in the past, for freedom, whose effort will soon be for naught as we begin to lose those precious freedoms for which they died.
I hope it won't be true, as much as I am sure it will be.

It constantly astounds me that world governments, with all the obvious environmental problems, refuse to whole-heartedly endorse space programs.
It constantly astounds me that so many otherwise intelligent people think that governments have the answer to everything.
Stop pointing your gun at me so you can spend my tax dollars on your personal quest (this one being space colonization).
I think space exploration is important and may be necessary someday. But spending billions of dollars to have some inefficient government program do it is not the answer.
There are private industries dedicated to going to space for various reasons. Donate money to some of them. They're the answer.
When it becomes economically feasible to make money by mining asteroids, SOMEONE WILL. And if it's a private industry doing it, it will be done a lot cheaper and efficiently than any government could do it.
Government is for stoping those pesky Canadians from invading, not for exploring space, or welfare, or giving money to artists.

But iTunes has it's shortcomings......
- no streaming service
What do you call the Radio section? Plenty of streaming choices in iTunes.

My bet it will be canceled within a season.
Yup, a couple of weeks ago I was snowboarding. The next day, I (comfortably) rode my motorcycle to work. (Madison)
Wisconsin - if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute.
Don't cancel it, just rename it to match the other fine, fine programming on FOX.
Some potential winners:
- Temptation Spaceship 5
- When Aliens Attack
- Who Wants to Marry a One-Eyed Woman?
- Bender in the Middle
- That 2970's Show

Does anyone know if these might be available with edonkey (www.edonkey2000.com)?
If you've not seen it, check out the MST3K Digital Archive Project! www.mst3kdap.org
Using edonkey, you can get a ton of the old episodes, sized to just fit on CD.
Anyone want to post the show for those of us without UPN?
