  1. Re:Untwist your knickers on Remotely Counting Machines Behind A NAT Box · · Score: 1

    Though I haven't done it in some time, I believe the phenomenon called 'rent' is still prorated. Essentially, a 'pay-then-stay' feature.

    Nothing new here.

  2. Re:Putting all your eggs in one basket on Power Companies Offering Cable (TV, Net) Service · · Score: 1

    I'll bet you're thinking of Sempra. One of our subsidiaries (I work for Sempra Corporate Center) is relegated to distribute fiber "the last mile" via gas lines. I'm not aware of any troubles with corosives.

  3. Re:She's AMERICAN, dammit on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 1

    I disagree, and think that you have little by way of facts to back up your statements.

    No, I'd say the Japanese are the best at marketing, and maybe even manufacturing.

    So it's three days later. Your point is?

    Yeah, and some people's crevices are MUCH deeper than others.

    Ugh. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts!

    Yeah, but now you could snow your name in the piss.

  8. Re:sigh on Building a Multi-Channel PVR System? · · Score: 1

    Close, bt not quite there.

    It should be:
    14,320 the first year, and
    13,520 every year after that.

    My calculation does not include the cost of tapes, however.

    Unless you're inferring that Security be 24/7, which would drive the salary requirements to 56,940/year

  9. Re:More then one channel on Building a Multi-Channel PVR System? · · Score: 1

    Bravo!

    My thought: either help or not. And if you can't help, don't post.

  10. Re:Maybe I just like being simple, but.... on Building a Multi-Channel PVR System? · · Score: 1

    Riiiight. Show me where I could buy all of this season's Raiders games. Or even easier: all of last season's games. What? You can't? And that's just one example, IF you want to record TV.

    Oh, and what if the poster isn't recording TV at all? As a previous poster mentioned, he may be recording security footage from cameras.

  11. Re:Open Source PVR is not as simple as people thin on Building a Multi-Channel PVR System? · · Score: 1

    So who's saying it has to be a Linux solution?

  12. Re:Some limitations to keep in mind on Building a Multi-Channel PVR System? · · Score: 1

    How about while using on-board SCSI?

    You know what they say:

    Light a man a fire, and he's warm for the night.
    Light a mon ON fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life.

    And that would be fun (or even fucking interesting) how?

    And why do you care how much spam he gets? Don't you think he'd do more (ANYthing) about it if he got MORE of it?!?

    I wonder how many people we sent over to there to help you?

    How does this relate to finding the PM's email address?

  17. Re:Are people getting dumber or what on The XBox as the Home Entertainment Media Hub · · Score: 1

    Why not just mod a PC to play Xbox games, since a PC will do four out of five?

  18. Re:uh.. why? on The XBox as the Home Entertainment Media Hub · · Score: 1

    Close-mindedness at it's finest. "I bought a computer 5 years ago and came to the conclusion that they all suck." How do you like THAT statement? How can you try them all in a span of six months? And if you DID, how were you able to give each and every one the necessary time to play it well?

  19. Re:uh.. why? on The XBox as the Home Entertainment Media Hub · · Score: 1

    I'm just not getting your point. Why can you not buy a TiVo? I can understand that you may not be able to use the TiVo guide, but why can't you buy one?

  20. Re:Sigh... on The XBox as the Home Entertainment Media Hub · · Score: 1

    Ebay has (at this moment) 438 listings for TIVO. So what's your issue? Cables? Shipping? What?

    I do. I sometimes listen to the Braveheart theme 'Amazing Grace' in my car.

    I don't know which is more depressing: the fact that you just coined the term 'funnily' or that you've just taken the hands of 90% of the /. world off of their keyboards.

  24. Power on Games Controlled By An Exercise Bike · · Score: 1

    Forget about integrating it into the game! I think that most of us would be in a lot better shape if we had to power the TV or game console via an exer-cycle or something.

    Perhaps not the sole power generator, of course, but stop the pedals and the TV goes off...

    So what's the ratio of people that have to pull 80,000 pounds over the Rockies?
