This is wonderful news, but how long until KnoppMyth is ready for the rest of us to play with?
I've got my R5A30.2 working with 95% success and will be replacing all of my Tivos in my house very very soon. I already have the backend working, and frontend working in the living room.
I think he is going to get a 50%-50% response from us. It's good to have a good paying job with no stress, but boring as hell. And it is equally good to have an "interesting" or "exciting" job where you don't dread coming to work, but look forward, and having supporting co-workers and challenges. But, then in the new start-up you will be busy as hell with no sleep trying to keep as many plates spinning as possible.
Since he doesn't have children, not married (except for a girlfriend which equals HIGH MAINTENANCE and sex sex sex), low cost of living, it's basically a coin toss. It sounds like its going to be either a gut instinct guess, or he needs to gather more information.
That's all and well to have a "specialist" that you can turn to make sure everything is up and running and can answer all your questions as if he/she were the actual developer of the product. Compare that to the Stargate SG-1 show where you have Samantha Carter that knows everything about the Stargate,astrophysics , theoretical particle physics, chemistry, etc. etc. and have an answer for everything, BUT once she is gone it makes maintaining or solving problems 10x10^999999 times harder to fix. We shouldn't need a freakin' PhD to keep a database humming along, get new development on the road, or solve day-to-day problems. But, then we do need the "specialists" to solve the very difficult problems. Yes, make him the head of all the databases as the goto person to answer the real tough problems, but for the rest of the newbies, KISS.
I played this on the Genesis when it first came out, it was similar to another game, Zenon from the Sega Master System. Flashback was such a great game and a real breakthrough in gameplay. Loved the fluid graphics, reminds me of Prince of Persia for IBM PC in 1990-1991.
Ack! I was forced to remember the whole Jabberwocky poem in school. In fact, we also had to act it out vocally. Check this out, Jabberwocky in ActionScript.
Duuude, you beat me to the punch. I too saw that episode last week, so when I read this story I put 2+2=5. I'm sure my wife could have used this pill a few weeks ago immediately after surgery with the pain and trauma.

OOOOOooooohhhh! Woooowwww!!! Drool. Is there a snowball chance in hell that this will be supported on Linux?
HACKERS??!! WTF? The first time I saw the moview when it first came out, my first thought was, "WOW! Who the hell is that hot babe? I'm in love!" My second thought was: "How can anyone watch this cow turd of a movie?" Years and years and years later that hot babe in crappy computer movie turned out to be Angelina Jolie, my baby's mama!

The capture card. If someone can creater either a HDTV CableCard ready tuner or a non-CableCard Component Capture card then you will see HTPC blast into space in terms of consumer products and homebrewed projects.
Right now we are limited to OTA* and Cable QAM256 unencrypted channels. I want to be able to record the Sopranos in HDTV quality and playback. So far, I think MythTV and the HD-3000 is the closes we can get without spending thousand to tens-of-thousands of dollars to accomplish what I want.
But, believe it or not, I'm going to build my HTPC very very soon and not worry about the HDTV I can't get. There aren't that many HDTV channels to worth jumping through firey hoops to get the WAF* satisfied.

Damn! And here I thought you were going to make an Autobots, Decepticon, Optimus Prime, Megratron, Jazz, Starscream, Bumblebee, Thrust, Omega Supreme, Scorpinoc, Headmasters, Galvitron, Soundwave, Buzzsaw, Ravage, Perceptor, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Rodimus Prime, Scourge, Brawn, Steamer, Jetfire, Blurr, Bruticus, The Constructicons joke or comment!!
P.S. I think I fell in love with the Transformers too much. My brother and I would force ourselves to remember all the names.
Yeah, we've got a badass medical community (more like a city within the city) of the baddest mo-fo doctors that ever were. HOUSTON...... TEXAS!! HOUSTON........ TEXAS!!
As the ol' sayin' goes: If you can't beat them, but them out and then destroy their product so yours is the only one left standing.
Sounds exactly like Microsofts strategy, but except sometimes Microsoft will get the competition's product, slap on a MS logo on it and call it "Microsoft Doo-Hickey YYYY". (YYYY = current year it was SUPPOSED to be released in) Anyone remember Virtual PC??
As a poor underprivileged kid in the 80s and early 90s, we couldn't afford anything electronic, it was in elementary and middle school where I first touched computers in a computer lab. We you had to share two or more to a computer station. It was a magic to me. I was lucky enough to have a brother-in-law that taught me some rudementary computer knowledge and some DOS commands. As the years went on and I self-taught myself was I got the change to be in front of a computer I got better. I was able to get one of those summer jobs where they pay you to go to school, where then I became the teachers pet in one of the computer classes where you take match and english lessons on the computer. I would basically be her help desk support and help the kids out on the computer. Later in high school I took QBasic classes where I was one of the stars, and helped to get nice pretty girls to work with me since I did all the work; same deal in phyics and computer science classes.
When it came time to go to college (again, poor so I depended on my grades to get me scholarships and grants, didn't expect nor got money from anyone else) I had some money left over to get either a car, to go back and forth to school, or a computer. I decided to get a bus pass and a computer. I haven't looked back. I eventually took that self-teaching skill that has benefited me so much that I eventually dropped out of college pursing a physics degree to spending full time on computers.
Now, I love computers to death and make great $$$ (around $ 145K / year) doing IT Project Managent after years of application development. One of these days I'll get my degree in physics. Those computer labs in school didn't teach anything hardcore to me, but they've sparked a love affair that will last for the rest of my life.
I just about spit out the NERDS candy when I read your post! I think it was OREGON TRAILS or something that was a CGA graphics DOS game in the mid to late 80s. I remember using the library computers to play this game. I ROOL!

Don't forget this "new" thingie we call e-mail that's been around for 25 years. Whoa, cutting edge technology with no track record.

Now it seems that we will need a Firefox extension to block this new problem!

Where are the endings for the Sega Master System?
I wish for Forte Agent Newsreader. Yeah, we have Pan or Knews, but Agent is the defacto yard stick which all newsreaders are measured against.
