Looks like California is getting uppity... trying to regulate the world. Sometime I'd like to see someone like google just say "Fine, we are boycotting your state." I am not specifically complaining about Calf, but the general principle of someone thinking they are big enough to extort others into doing what they mandate. It would be nice to see someone give these these bullies the proverbial finger.
I think that you are missing what he is saying. It looks to me like he is saying on the TiVo box itself.
The source code doesn't end up on the TiVos. It doesn't have enough ram or processor power to compile things on it while doing what it is supposed to do. When someone compiles stuff for the TiVo, they cross compile from a different computer then upload the binaries.
If you mean that Windows 2000 does not have a command prompt, you are wrong. It has cmd.exe wich is far superior to command.com. It also has a cmd.exe based boot up incase you screw up your shell.
Windows 98 ME doesn't suck because Windows 2000 sucks. It sucks in its own right.
I would recommend running Win2k over 98ME even for games.

Wasn't this something that happened in "Man with the Golden Gun"?
Now when they start doing the internet stuff... We are supposed to trust them with our encrypted keys?
