    Good luck getting an unsupported driver to work on any os.

    Most of the time I install hardware in WindowsXP I get a message about unsupported drivers or something. I don't really care what the message says, I always just click 'OK'. I haven't had too many problems.

  10. Novell on Novell/SUSE Prime for Aquisition? · · Score: 1

    Try to stay with me. I belive that Novell/Suse will _NOT_ be purchased by anyone. Not IBM by the previous posts about their patent portfolio. I believe that with the Ximian and Suse purchases Novell is looking to position themselves between Microsoft and Sun. Novell will integrate NDS with a client and server version of Suse and then position Evolution as the perfered Groupwise client, thus becoming a direct competitor with Exchange Longhorn / Outlook. The Suse client side will be a competitor with Windows Longhorn Workstation and the Sun Madhatter desktop. IBM will continue to team with Novell and Novell will "recommend" IBM hardware in the server room and on the desktop. Thus having and end-to-end product line like Microsoft already has.

    Windows Longhorn Server vs. Suse Server
    Active directory vs. NDS/eDirectory
    Exchange Longhorn vs. Groupwise/Suse OpenExchange
    Outlook vs. Evolution
    Windows Longhorn Workstation vs. Suse Desktop vs. Sun Madhatter Desktop

    Any thoughts?

    I'm sorry, I guess I should and qouted the parent before poting the link:
    "Who wants to own a device that requires a monthly subscription to work to its maximum potiential. Does any one know the cons to the guide + service?

    I took this statment to mean he did not know there was a guide for MythTV, hence the guide plus remark. As for Tivo Vs. MythTV, I am currently debating that.From the thread it seems it is ~$250 for a Tivo and $300 for the lifetime channel guide which is $500 that I do not have. If I can build a MythTv box that will do Picture-in-Picture and be comparable with a $250 Tivo for less than $500 and the only feature it lacks is the Season Pass then I think I did pretty good job.

    I also do not watch hours upon hours of TV, my main use would be recording the 4 to 5 TV shows that I enjoy watching and the 2 or three that my wife watches. The TV in our home is turned off for 18+ hours a day and some days is never turned on except to watch a DVD. Mind you I am just starting to research the differences and mabye I have missed a feature that I cannot live without which is why I am looking into all alternatives including Freevo.

    That sounds like where I work. I get a "disscussion" about overtime even if I only have 1 hour. I am the entire IT department, which I have found means "I fix anything that plugs into the wall". During the holiday season, the IT department closes and I become a salesman (retail). I tag and receive merchandise, run transfers to our other stores, work on the server, phone system, POS system, thermostats, pencil sharpeners, printers, and wrote a small piece of software they are now using.

    <sarcasam> I have learned that the best network equipment is made by DEC! </sarcasam>

    Well, at least the job is easy now that I fixed everything they thouht was an emergency.

    I signed up for an MSN IM account (free hotmail included) and immediately received 225 spam mails in two days. Also my hotmail account is my last name which is unique due to swiss-german origin. The only way I stopped the spam was turning on the highest level of spam filtering provided by MSN. Now I don't receive any mail, partly due to the fact no one has that address.
