Re-engineering is a lot easier than coming up with from scratch. I wish everyone would just get over it and realize that, in the real world, without "for profit" (oooh, that evil Slashdot phrase) companies, products like this would never exist. I wish everyone would just quit trying to get stuff on the cheap. TINSTAAFL!!!! This is part of the problem with our society today. Nobody wants to actually work or pay for anything. JFC people! It just doesn't appear out of thin air!
What happened to supporting developers that actually work for companies such as this. They use the same OS that everyone is such a fanatic about around here. I guess when everyone finishes living in Mom & Dad's basement and actually starts working (thus receiving income by working for someone else) and paying bills, they might feel differently.
Tivo is a fantastic product that I hope will survive even with everyone wanting to rip off their idea. Yeah, yeah...I know all about open source and re-engineering...
