I had a relative that wore out her welcome with PC problems. I eventually just started telling her she needed to buy a new system as my stock answer to any question. She eventually took the hint.
When fastforwarding, the audio will frequently lose sync with the video, and you'll have to rewind a bit to get try and get it to sync back up again.
The "record only new episodes" feature should be renamed to "record anything in this timeslot, or nothing at all, whichever is more annoying".
No 30 second skip forward.
Sometimes after fast forwarding, it takes a good 5-10 seconds for the audio to come back on.
Explanation of any of the video output settings are horrible. All it says is "Upconvert-1" "Upconvert-2" "Fixed" and "Passthrough"... What the hell is "upconvert-1" supposed to mean? What is it upconverting to?
Not only that, but not all movies are equal. The target market for a particular movie will likely have a significant effect on piracy, theatre sales, and DVD sales...
So um, anyone have a problem with the fact that Checkpoint NGX is closed source firewall software, that quite a few government sites use? It doesn't bother them that there could be a backdoor waiting for the "secret Israeli shutdown code" in every Checkpoint firewall in the world?
Clearly all brick and mortar stores are getting a free lunch from the roads built by taxpayers dollars. Clearly Walmart, HomeDepot, BestBuy, Sears, so on and so forth are reaping the benefits of the infrastructure that we citizens are spending our hard earned tax dollars on. Lets not even mention companies like Texaco and Conoco Phillips, not only do they reap the benefit of our infrastructure, but the only reason they exist is because our infrastructure requires them. Where is the outrage???
Damn, I was all geared up to post something, but then I read yours. Its like you read my mind and wrote it for me. I have a first generation replay TV that is leaps and bounds ahead of the piece of crap scientific atlanta HD PVR my local cable company leases. Of course its just SD quality...
You drive a 1991 what? Yeah, you're the target market for this new car... Sorry, but they're not going to give a rats ass what someone that drives a 15 year old minivan thinks.
No no no. I live in an average neighborhood, and I have found over 14 open access points. Those little $50 wireless routers are everywhere, lots of people on juries have them, and so they can more easily put themselves in the defendants shoes. They won't be thinking the defendant is a thief, they'll be thinking, "Holy shit, I think I have one of those at home, err... Judge, may I be excused for a bit?"
What would a live video feed for an ebay auction of a car or house provide the buyer that they couldn't get from stills or a canned video linked to in the auction? The video quality will be utter crap compared to the other methods you could use. Aside from some sort of validation that the item still exists in the form the seller originally marketed, I just don't see it. Even that validation would be trivial to fake and difficult to certify.
WTF does Skype video have to do with someone wanting to see a video of something they are buying? Absolutely nothing, thats what. Are you really suggesting that people should have live video feeds attached to an ebay auction for a car or a house or whatever? Sheesh.
Who are you to say we're playing with natural forces that should not be meddled with.? I say we should meddle with them. We should continue to research this and anything else we can think of. Who's to say this research won't lead us to a discovery that changes the future of all human life for the better? You sound like those dopey "the earth is only six thousand years old" people that argue if natural selection is so great why do we keep the weak and inferm alive...
I think an important thing to note is that many of the people that support ID also believe the universe is only 6000-10000 years old. Try and let that concept soak in for a minute. I've spoken at length with a number of creationist (I live in Oklahoma), and they actually believe that the light we see from stars, the very photons traveling through space, were placed in transit by their god at the time of genesis... Holy shit, can you believe that? Trying to argue anything about evolution based on science and logic is utterly pointless.
Apparently you don't have a valid support contract with Cisco, nor have you opened any cases with Cisco, or you would know that they store historical case information in your account. Then again...
I'm living proof its nothing like opium or any other drug. I played it hardcore for about a month, then slowly drifted away from it. I think I logged in one time last month, and I'm cancelling the account when the next subscription comes due.
Besides, whos to say whats important? Life is after all about the journey, since we all end up at the same destination.
Until M$ releases an OS that doesn't have enough vulnerable services turned on by default to get infected inside of 10 minutes, factory default gets you nowhere...
The same reason that many people spend less than $500 on their mattress. You only spend anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 your life on the thing... You'd think people would want a comfortable one.
The "can't afford to move" argument is a load of crap. If you can't afford a one time purchase over three years from now of something that currently costs $100, you have no business watching TV to begin with.
I don't remember seeing anything in the constitution or bill or rights related to television either.
Thats a great start, but I think the most important part is parental involvement. Talk to your children , at length, every single day. Know who their teachers are, what classes they are taking, and what their schedules are. You should have a pretty good idea of what your childrens grades are at any given time. If you don't care what your kids are doing, why the hell would your kids care?
You know which parents show up at parent/teacher conferences? The extremes. The parents of the kids that are getting A's, and the parents of the kids that are flunking.
The other important thing, teach some bloody accountability to the kids. If the kid screws up and gets a bad grade, don't let em off on a technicality because the teacher forgot to notify the parents for the Nth time.

100% agreed.

No, in Europe we have footballs and rugby balls.
Except in France where they have...
wait for it...
Oh come on, its obvious but mildly amusing.

That still doesn't change the fact that neither you nor the OP is the target market, so your collective opinions are essentially worthless.

I'm thinking someone already invented this device. Its the only plausible explanation I can come up with for the local morning radio "personalities".
It can't be what you think, as that would be a trademark infringement.

How soon before we can get one of these implanted into Maverick's brain?

You can't do POE with 1000TX though.
