1. Tivo is the cool kid's DVR. can you name any other DVRs by cable companies? what's that replayTV? DEAD. 2. Tivo does have pop out media. it's called Tivo to go or TTG, and you can place your tivo content on any portable device or pc.
there's also a Tivo with a dvd recorder. 3. Tivo has better features than any other DVR on the market. 4. Tivo doesn't require a subscription fee. they only charge for the program data, which they don't get from the cable companies. 5. you can use Tivo with Satellite or Cable or off-air. 6. Tivo now has Amazon unbox service. buy or rent movies or shows over the Tivo. 7. Tivo doesn't rely on any service provider. The service is the program data. (which they get from an independent supplier) Tivo doesn't care where you get your TV from.
how many commentors have a Tivo?
The Tivo has an intuitive interface and useful features.
how many set-top boxes have useful features other than their core features? I watch the day's NY Times video casts on my Tivo. I can view my home movies on my Tivo. I can view my vacation pictures on my Tivo. I can transfer my Tivo programs onto my computer to burn to DVD. I can store an entire season of a show on my Computer or DVD. I can transfer any video to my Tivo after the Tivo desktop program transcodes it.
Every employee that works at the site needs to have proper training in information security and social engineering counter-measures. These sound complex and technical but they are not. what is sensitive information? You do not store any sensitive information in any place that's not explicitly secure.
you complement your training program with mandatory password restrictions. Linux already has these restrictions for users. password is too short, password is based on a dictionary word, password must contain numbers and letters.
This is bad. It will undoubtedly be given to soldiers.
Fear is good. It's how you stay alive. It keeps you out of trouble.
Soldiers who aren't afraid will just rush like counter-strike and get shot like cannon fodder.
They won't be afraid of getting shot or dying.
This is bad science.
Though maybe it will finally help me conquer my crippling fear of spiders. And then maybe I'll get bit by one of those camel spiders and bloat up and die.
It has been shown in scientific testing that High Fructose Corn Syrup disrupts the chemicals in the brain that make you feel full. If you don't feel full, you'll unknowingly eat more. This is the cause for the obesity epidemic.
I'll have you know you insensitive fuck, that I'm 6ft and weigh 285lbs. I go the the gym 3 times and week and workout for an hour. I ride the bike and treadmill vigorously for 20 mins each and then I workout on the weight machines. I eat less than 1000 calories a day. and not fucking candy bars. I eat health balanced foods including vegetables and fruits, meats and grains.
My abs are strong, my arms are strong, and my legs are strong. I've been doing this for 7 months. I can use 80lbs on the ab machines without breaking a sweat. I can do 200lbs on the leg machines without breaking a sweat. I can do 150lbs on the arm machines without breaking a sweat.
but I'm still fucking FAT. Don't sit there on your fat ass and tell me that there's no epidemic. I still wear a size 46 pants.
We should all vote these fucking whores out of office.
note to those in public office:
STOP putting corporate interests before those of your constituents. STOP thinking that you're such a patriot. You're really just a corrupt unethical whore.
Your vote is for sale to the highest bidder.
Stop selling the rights of the people of the United States America.
Ask your friends who "have nothing to hide" if you can go through their bedroom dresser and drawers. Ask them to remove the vertical blinds and curtains from all their windows.
add a meta tag to original content. all rss/atom readers should incorporate meta tags for original content vs blogged content. I really find blogs completely pointless. I find it a terrible waste of time to get stuck reading a 6th degree blog about an article whose source eludes me.
I don't subscribe to any blogs at all. except/. and engadget and the register. and linuxtoday.
I'm a certified Linux admin. I can't do any math beyond very basic algebra. (learning disabilities) I just decided to go to college. I finished my first c++ class with an A. The math involved was basic math.
The hard part is thinking like a computer. I didn't need algebra to learn to program. My brain's ability to do logic is quite different from the normal logic most other people do because I had such a poor background in math. Even though I can't do advanced math, I'm still excelling in computer science. I understand true computer and network security; I have a fresh view on how to approach programming problems.
I am starting my advanced c++ class in august and I'm sure I'll pass that class also. There's a lot less math involved in programming than you think.

Only YOU can prevent social engineering!
Why do we need another windows?
Is it necessary? Should they instead focus on getting the stuff they already shipped working stable and secure?
Apple doesn't need to ship another OS every three years.
IBM, Red Hat, Novell, et al. don't need to ship a new OS every three years.
Microsoft just wants a "new for the sake of new" OS.
Though, it will keep a lot of underskilled and overpaid MCSEs in business.
the people who read tech media are smart enough to block ads!
there, I just did your expensive study for free!
Man, Pionus, how behind the times are you?
Madonna has owned her own label for years.
get with the times grandpa!

who could possibly believe there are more than 40,000 NoLife "players" out there?
even that is a exaggeration. I've preached this since its inception, Second Life is dumb.
It truly is an animated AOL chatroom. It's full of boring people who don't get to have sex.
As they are boring people, why is everyone paying so much attention to them?
It has no plot, no purpose, no rules, no point.

I think it's time that congress understood just what they've been selling.
They're selling our rights.
Microsoft can make their hardware to demand an extortion fee.
They will get sued.
I will not purchase any hardware which enables these restrictions and extortion.
If they were left online, it was by intention for some sinister reason.
Ask your friends who "have nothing to hide" if you can go through their bedroom dresser and drawers. Ask them to remove the vertical blinds and curtains from all their windows.
That's privacy. it's the same thing.
with real problems in the world. These fucking twats are wasting everyone's time because people are downloading movies and music from the internet?
our congress is just a bunch of two dollar whores!
since when does the movie and music industry have so much clout in sweden?
They all need to eat a bit of their own shit!
also a trucker? BWAHAHAHAHA
Here's your problem right here! Your running lights aint running!
Here's your problem right here! You gotta stop at the weigh station, you overloaded your server!
Watch out, this server rack makes W I D E right turns!
HAHAHA too easy.

Comcast figured out that it's a much better thing to finish large downloads faster to alleviate net congestion.
Their network isn't bad, I have comcast and it's been decent in the past year.

Computer engineering does.
why not make it 81 columns?
why not make it 161 columns?
who says how many columns are enough?
every project is different. As are the resolutions that people use for their desktops and terminal windows.
I think they should have strict penalties for this sort of action.
I do not think that downloading a movie from the internet is illegal. That's not how the law works.
The simple fact is, uploading is illegal.
no, idiot. The big mac you just ate was converted into energy to beat your heart.
china has fired the first volley:
poisoned food.
computer virii. (or viruses for the humans)
email spam.
We will retaliate by opening more chinese armories. (otherwise known as WalMart)
In all areas of trademark law, the semantics are vague on purpose. Trademarks belong to whomever can defend them.
I'm very surprised google lost this one.
more AC fud.
problems that actually matter include releasing products that use GPL'd code without releasing the source code.
It's like saying that the GPL is ok for people who choose to follow it, but apple is above following licensing terms.
Google, this is evil.
Helping evil corporations (what a cliché) is just as evil as being evil.
There is little doubt of the consensus that health insurers are evil.
