Not Porche, Porsche..and not even them. There's a spinoff called FA Porsche Design Group GmbH. They've designed everything from the LaCie hard drive to hair dryers to the only-in-Japan Subaru Legend B4 (link here: http://www.supercars.net/cars/1770.html, and that's the production model, the prototype looked better).
Yes, a *very* different company than the legend that brought us the 911.
The 500's will work, but they're not perfect like the x50's are. ivtv support is still a work in progress for them although people get them to work every day.
http://mysettopbox.tv/ hit the forums then the Tier 1 if you need hardware recommendations.
Strangely enough, cablecards seem to be going away. Sharp, a major producer of nice HDTV LCD sets, removed Cablecard slots from all of their '06 models since it was estimated only around 60,000 people were using them.
Also, even if the Tivo has a dvd burner, it probably doesn't have a large enough hard drive (or disrespect for DMCA) to allow you to rip your own DVDs to it.
Face it, the reason that there are alot of homebrew PVRs is that Tivo and others just don't deliver the features many of us want.
You're right, Mythtv may be overkill for some people that only want a PVR. However, Mythtv does MUCH more.
Rip dvds, rip cd's, display pictures (with a variety of OpenGL wipes and fades), play music (with a variety of visualizations), play VCDs, get your local weather reports with satellite map imagery, surf the web, talk on a SIP videophone, add stuff to your Netflix queue, the list just goes on and on.
I don't know about that card but nearly any Hauppauge PVR x50 card will work. Currently I'm working on getting it to use the firewire connection to my Motorola 62xx DVR, it will tune but the osd is in black and white and it has some other little issues. Coming along nicely otherwise. If I tune over analog cable it's perfect.
This guy must be a noob to try using some commodity, game-targeted hardware like the 6800XT's rather than a real rendering solution like the Quadro. There's a reason the Quadros are crazy expensive compared to everything else. From Nvidia's site, "NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500, 4400, 3450, 3400, 1400, and 540 cards are SLI enabled and can work in an SLI configured Multi-GPU system.".
SLI = good. Thinking normal Nvidia cards in SLI will handle heavy cad-style rendering = bad.
Japanese and nearly all asian languages sans Thai are read right to left. First time I picked up a Japanese manga book I was like..wtf this whole thing is backwards.
Maybe he's got a hairy, unshaven girlfriend that really enjoys him going down on her. In that case, he must listen to Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" or an inspirational song like "Eye of the Tiger" to build courage and stamina.
I can't wait for all the Apple apologists to defend this one. I barely remember a time when you could openly criticize Apple without an asbestos trenchcoat on.
The whole aim of the Knoppmyth project is to simplify installing and maintaining MythTV. It's free, boots from the cd, and installs with little interaction. The latest versions are even handling IR Blaster configuration (which is normally a pain in the ass). When a new version comes out, you run the backup (from a menu), pop in the install cd, select auto install, and wait. When it's finished it'll restore your backup automagically and bam, you have the latest and greatest.
Keep an eye on http://mysettopbox.tv/ if you're interested in MythTV or Knoppmyth. There's a big update coming soon due to MythTV's.19 landmark release.
Setup, schmetup. With Knoppmyth it's dead easy, and there's a new release just around the corner. Cecil has been hard at working killing bugs in preparation for this very Myth release. Head over to mysettopbox.tv and read more.
The Retro theme has become the default skin for the OSD and the menus in Knoppmyth for a few point releases now. It's beautiful, functional, and a joy to use.
Having an entire drive that size the same partition is a liability and a foolish thing to do to begin with. If FAT32 can't cope with a 250GB partition (which it can), then split it up. AFAIK OSX can read/write fat32 just like linux and windows can.
Oh and btw, what the hell world do YOU live in where linux can't read NTFS? It's been able to read it for years. Now writing to it, that may be a different story. Also, according to an earlier reply to my grandparent thread, there is a HFS+ utility for Windows that allows read/write.
While I appreciate your thoughtful comment, you're a little late. I already posted an extension to my original post further down the thread that blames the licensing term, not beloved Apple, for the redownload issue.
Dude, you're completely sidestepping the issue here. You can't equate *data* that you've acquired a license to download to an actual, physical *product*, you're using the same straw man debate that the RIAA uses when dealing with theft of intellectual property via piracy. Sure, if you drive your new Mercedes over a cliff you can't just call the dealership up and get a new one the same day. That's dumb and it's your fault. However, a piece of sotware that you paid to license and download should be downloadable again at no additional fee. Why? Because you've already paid for it and the company isn't losing any money by letting you download it again. Even now, if you go to the store and buy a copy of Battlefield 2, scratch it all to hell, and call EA, they'll probably send you a new CD if you provide proof of purchase.
Ultimately it seems this is coming down to the terms of the license, which rather than being granted by Apple, is being granted by the bastards in the music industry. When you 'buy' music from the iTunes store, you're not buying anything more than a very limited license; in effect, even the purchase terms nullifies your argument.
I guess Apple needs to make a clear distinction between what is typically known as buying and what is truly licensing.
We're beginning to move to gigabit at my office as well. From switch to switch, it's fiber. Most of our drops are gigabit now, and any new drops are of course gigabit. The goal here is to eliminate bottlenecks, and even though some switches are 10/100, others are gigabit and when they exchange data with each other the bottleneck is not the wire.
It's also beneficial using gigabit just to keep total network saturation lower. You can max out a 10/100 connection with enough clients pulling enough data from each server. Throw gigabit into the equation, and even though your servers are only pushing data across the network at xMB/sec, they're no longer pushing the ceiling on total throughput. This leads to less collision and packet loss and a smoother network for everyone.
In the past and in the forseeable future, that plug on the wall leading to the outside world will always be the last unconquerable bottleneck. Sometimes I wish the US had a state-run telco monopoly like Korea or Japan so we could get some affordable, serious bandwidth everywhere.
I'll readily admit that ignorance and assumptions were the modus operandi of this whole debacle. I come from a world where things that have portable hard drives use compatible filesystems that any box (mac, linux, windows) can easily read. Apple giving you the option to format the iPod for Mac-only is just retarded, these devices should shoot for compatibility rather than some wacky Apple-only concept. I made the assumption that any iPod would work on any box with iTunes. I was definitely wrong there.
Funny how you made no reference to the fact that Apple will only let you download songs once, which is in essence a rental fee. If I purchase Counter Strike Source via Steam, I can download the thing 20 times, because I've already paid for it. It only requires a login and password. It's how everyone but Apple handles downloaded content.
I will accept fault to a certain degree because it was a learning experience and I didn't know all the variables going into it. However, there should be more than one way to skin a cat. The iTunes store should've let me leech everything that was already paid for.
Sorry but I can't think of a single reason to run crapware like IE6 on Linux. You already have Firefox, Konqueror, Opera, lynx/links, and a few others. What's the point? To say you can or to visit all 3 sites that break under any browser except IE6?

Sounds like someone needs to google 'thermal paste'.
My Athlon64 3200 idles at 32C/89F. Then again, it's watercooled, but even with the old heatsink it never got very hot.

I can't wait for all the Apple apologists to defend this one. I barely remember a time when you could openly criticize Apple without an asbestos trenchcoat on.
Absolutely true. See Apple, Sun, SGI and others for proof.
Fuckin'-A right, I'll second that.
