    Unfortunatly once DirecTV has fully switches their HD to MPEG-4 the HD TiVo will not nessesarily work anymore.

    You do know that DirecTV is phasing out the DirectTivo, hopefully it will continue to work forever, but there is no telling what happends.

    MBCook: If your DirecTivo does die you can buy one on ebay for less than $50.

  3. Re:Two questions: on Possible Virtual Console Titles for Wii Launch · · Score: 1

    I only worry because many games for the Wii are set to release in November. So there won't be many game available. This could be a very GOOD thing though. If I was a game publisher would I want my game to release when there was only a handfull or Wii owners or a month or two down the line when there were a few million.

  12. Re:How many AOL CD's? on Vaporizing Garbage to Create Electricity · · Score: 1

    So how
    come they can be paid, and grand-parent poster cannot be paid for his trash?
    I think it might have something to do with capital investement. There is a lot of capital investment that goes into building a power plant. /Of course a lot of that capital is often your taxes, which I firmly believe should mean you own a portion of what your taxes go into. But thats an entirly different argument.

    While I tend to support greenies this is an issue on which I do not agree with them. Thats because the "greenies" are emotion driven. Sometimes the emotional choice is the right choice, but not always.

    Ok, seriously now that you are used to XP would you really go back to 98?

    Anyways, I completly agree on Vista, XP is a good product there really isn't much reason to upgrade.

    You will evententually be forced into Vista, in a year or less you will NOT be able to purchase a computer with XP on it. You might be lucky and have a way of getting XP license cheaply so that you can wipe Vista and reinstall. Eventually everyone else will have Vista, and you will not be compatible. :) Sounds like fun hu. Ubuntu I hear your cries, and I'm coming my sweet!!!

    You didn't think the $1000 (yea its come down some) cost of a HDDVD or blueray player was due to the expensive laser did you?

  18. Re:"Controller Glove" on Nintendo Reconfirms Wii Shipments · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've seen some "pictures" of this. Basically its a glove that straps the wiimote to the back of your hand. It was just a concept, but something like this could easily cost $10. Of course you would still need the nunchuck or some type of extended trigger to effectivcly do anything but move it around. But it does add a new "feel" to the use of the wiimote.

  19. Re:Before anyone asks... on Killer NIC Hands-On Testing · · Score: 1

    But the monkey loves to be punched!

    Seriously I can see the need for this in server machines as a network frontend more than gaming will ever really need it. But if its a way to get it to market, so be it. I hope they have the smarts to make a "professional" version that markets it this way.

    Ok why would someone spend large amounts of money on an HD system only to have it compressed.

    On another note, what about the signal band already used by HD TV broadcasters, would a signal thats weak enough to stay inside your house be legal?
