  1. Re:Where's the increased cost? on Nineteen Registrars Decry ICANN Arrangement · · Score: 1

    It's not 7% over 4 years. It's 7% a year in 4 of the next 6 years. (In the other two years they can only raise it if there are extra costs due to "security".

  2. TOS on Google Introduces Page Creator · · Score: 1

    The TOS for the site are fully editable (am I the only one that checks every time I see TOS in a text box?). That should make for some interesting agreements.

    I wonder if they store the TOS version you agree to. Cause right now they owe me $99 for each page I write and store on their server.

    I can tell you exactly when the story turn sour for me. the introduction of a character who's initials are S. K. there were a few bright spots after that but very few. And the ending? I wanted my time and money back! I should have listened to him when he warned us to stop reading.. "no ending" was better than the real "ending" heck any ending would have been.

    I have distaste (more so recently) for celeberties who are so because the media or their PR people say they are. (Tom Cruise, et al.)

    He's living an interesting, but not sturggle free life, writing, voice acting, playing poker, and rasing children. All of which he has insites about, and is willing to share.

    Well you can't do it officialy, but that doesn't mean it works any worse. I have true HMO on DirecTivo series 2 boxes.

    The short answer is www.dealdatabase.com. Their forums are chocked full of Tivo hacking goodness. Be warned: read much, ask little. The board reacts poorly to questions that can be answered with search.

    If your unit has a RID # on the back. Hughes SD-DVR40 SD-DVR80 and a few others then you want to look for:
    4.x on RID units

    Otherwise look for 4.x on Directivo (and ignore anything that refrences RID).

    Tivo Can do that!

    Just not out of the box.

    With TivoWebPlus you can set it to start Late or early (unlike the tivo UI), and end early or late (or even.. gasp on time).

    Sure it requires a bit of hacking, but the side effect it you can schedule recordings via the web (w/o using tivos HMO features).

  15. Motion Sensor on High Tech Baby Monitoring? · · Score: 1

    Reguardless of what you do with video..

    My wife and I got an audio baby monitor that had a motion sensor built in. It slips under the mattress, and alerts you after a 20 seconds of inactivity (Breathing). And it really did help with the peace of mind at night, and cut down on us stressing if our son (now 7 months) was ok. We had 2 false alarms where he had rolled to the far edge of the crib, and the sensor didn't register his breathing, but that seems like a very small price to pay.

    OMG the Dish networks 510? That is awefull. Horrendous. It's the worst PVR Ive ever used.

    If you tell it to record friends (normally 8:00 - 8:30) every week. And The network decides to air a 40 minute episode, or change nights, Dish networks system will still record 8:00-8:30 on thursday night. And when retuns start, they will get recorded too. Tivo, ReplayYV, and Time Warners system will all make the adjustment for you automatically.

    I dont have to use the phone line, it pull content via the web.

    and

    I can pull content off of it, edit out commercials, and save it to DVD in under 30 minutes.
