  1. Re:64 bit? on Linux Boxee Users Get Hulu Relief · · Score: 1

    It is a hack, but it does work quite well for me.

  3. Re:I'm curious if anyone beats the Cincinnati Area on East Coast Broadband Fastest In USA · · Score: 1

    I live in Louisville and am also serviced by Insight. I can confirm that the 20mbit service is quite good and I regularly reach that speed on bittorrent. Other than their sometimes dodgy customer service, I've always been quite happy with them.

  4. Re:Einstein on Mathematicians Solve the Mystery of Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    Beautifully stated, I didn't use this method prior to driving a 5 speed for a few years. I got used to downshifting for braking purposes. Now that I drive an automatic again, I frequently dis-engage overdrive to brake for minor speed changes. As far as I'm concerned, it seems that it would make your brakes last longer this way. Unsure the effects on the transmission.

    Strange that's the first place you went with that.....

    Silly, you can't get piercings or tattoos while drunk, you'll bleed all over the place. Alcohol thins the blood.

    In the South and Midwest, I'm surrounded by them.

    do you mean "The Art Of Cable Folding"???

  9. Another issue on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1

    You can't expect much if you live in moderate climates, bio-diesel isn't friendly whenever it dips beneath freezing. You can mix it with regular diesel at that point or kerosene, but that defeats the purpose IMO.

  10. Re:even better, The Screaming Brain on Scifi Channel to Make Ringworld Miniseries · · Score: 1

    He did a film in 2002 called BubbaHotep. He places old elvis in a retirement home fighting a mummy. Yes, it is as hilarious as it sounds.

  11. Re:how about PVR? on Shuttle XPC Linux Network Appliance · · Score: 2

    Using an SK41G with MythTV. Very quiet, I went ahead and got one for my desktop as well because it was so quiet. My old, loud tower sits in the closet now as a fileserver.

  12. Re:The one pitfall for homebrew PVRs... on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uh, you obviously haven't done your homework as MythTV most certainly can control digital cable and satellite boxes via IRblaster for some time now. Not to say it's as simple as other solutions, but please don't spread false data.

  13. Re:I Haven't Paid for Debian on Debian Project Servers Compromised · · Score: 1

    You reminded me that I have also been using it for a couple years without ever paying a cent. Was gonna go make a donation but it looks like that server is down too, maybe it got compromised as well? :(

  14. Unemployed on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I had something similar happen with an ISP I worked for. The entire engineering team walked, including the senior tech that had built the entire network from the ground up. Never heard from them after that.

  15. Re:Someone should start selling myth based PVRs on ReplayTV May Drop "Commercial Advance" · · Score: 1

    Not likely. What if the listings providers changes their website? Updating the software would be a nightmare for technical support of said company. This has been heavily talked over on the mythTV mailing lists. It's just not viable.

    My 2 cents.

    I agree. Fark is more cutting edge at this point...

    Totally legit, my neighbor has this system, she had it installed last year. Works great and smells like french fries coming outta the exhaust. Much rather smell that on the freeway during rush hour.

  18. Re:ugly on Multimedia Home Entertainment System for Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Completely agree. My mythbox blows tivo outta the water in my opinion. I am using the shuttle SS40G for mine.

  21. Re:Insight@Home is still up on Some People @Home, Some Not @Home · · Score: 1

    I was fully expecting my service to be down this morning, I actually did a little dance of joy when it wasn't. I had heard rumors from my friends at High Speed Access that we could expect 45 days of downtime. I'm glad the rumors were false. Is there a possibility of downtime later down the line?

  22. Re:network firewall issues on Wolfenstein Linux Binaries Available · · Score: 1

    I had no problems playing multiplayer on the internet and I made no changes to my linux firewall to do it. I did encounter problems with my windows copy of it, but I think that was XP-related. Linux binaries worked like a dream for me. I deny all packets by default, so I'm not sure what would be causing your problem.

  23. Cable Modem Providers on Code Redux · · Score: 2, Funny

    I work for a rather large cable modem provider in the callcenter. We are getting inunduated with calls about the code red virus. Especially concerning hyper-active activity lights on cable modems. It's been like this ever since sunday. I must admit, we are very close to blocking port 80 as well, since we don't allow web servers anyways. oh well, I start my new job next monday.
