Have you ever noticed that the conspircy theories always revolve around the accomplishments of people of color? Nobody ever says that the Acropolis was made by aliens for instance, but even Disney has TV specials about ancient Africans and Mexicans weren't smart enough to stack rocks so obviously their pyramids were made by white people from Atlantis, or white people from outer space, or white people from anywhere as long as they are white...
The 5040 is currently available in real stores, has commercial skip, is $10 a month or $250 lifetime (NOT 3 years), and it is better so nyaaaaaaah pbbt.
"TiVo also unveiled TiVo-to-Go, which lets users who also subscribe to an additional TiVo home networking service to transfer shows they have recorded on the set-top box to a home computer. The system is kept secure by a unique key-sized memory device that must be plugged into the computer when the recorded content is watched or copied."
ReplayTV's have been able to do that for years, for free, without buying extra software, without extra monthly fees, and without Big Brother watching over what you watch and making you use "key-sized devices" to watch you shows.
What a joke.
In addition to that, my ReplayTV 5040 auto-skips commercials, lets me share programs online, lets me skip 30-seconds ahead at a time, lets me schedule OVER THE INTERNET what programs I want to watch, all for FREE without buying extra hardware and software. AND the monthly and lifetime fees are LESS than Tivo's.
But, I'm sure the people who have only ever tried a Tivo will tell me their over-priced under-performing box RULEZX0RS.
aren't they a few weeks late to be announcing a new series of products? I suppose it is better than announcing it during xmas if it wont be ready to ship...
Is the mini ipod (minipod?) not going to ship for a while, or did it just not make it out in time for Christmas, or is Jobs insane?
That was a very harsh critique, possibly even unfair. What was certainly unfair is (If I remember correctly) that SA refused to let him respond for about a year, and even then only let him use one page, when a rebuttle to his rebuttle was many pages and in the same issue. Supposedly SA also got lawyers involved to refuse him his fair use rights in his website rebuttle here:

Personally, I think it's good to call BS on pseudo science and fusged stats (i.e. ALL mainstream science reporting), but when someone with only a highschool education in science starts rewriting the science books, we're in trouble.
It's sorta like an early LCD screen - you can see it in a very narrow range of angles as you walk by, but forget looking down the hall to find someone's cube.
The sad thing is, you just described the exact policy where I work. Not even NAME TAGS are allowed outside the cube -- they must be on the inside edge. People used to decorate their cubes or put roofs on them or drape them in camo (Texas, nuf said) but no more.
You know the pneumatic door sound in Doom? I have heard it in commercials, History Channel shows, movies, and even WBCN in Boston used that and a Doom I monster sound in a radio commercial. I guess they thought it made them cool, instead of really really old.
The most notable use is when it was used as a sound effect in Wag the Dog when making the fake war footage. Since then I have heard it in a dozen movies and I hear it in a new commericial at least once a month. I believe I first heard it on a sound effects CD I used on an apple years ago.
Does ANYONE know what I'm talking about? I'd like to see a page on it.
Basically, I want an iPod with a remote and an ethernet port.
I don't want to stream from a 300W server, I want a little device I can turn on when I need it, and that I can operate with a remote and hook up to a home network to push more files into its storage.
Anyone know of something like this, other than that $1500 Rio unit?
I see you totally misunderstood my point, completely missed the part where I said MythTV was MORE expensive, and YOU called ME foolish.
I like that.
Then you called me an anonymous web monkey, when you are posting as anonymous.
Stupid AND hypocritcal. You win!!!
But I'll answer your childish post anyway, angry tivo guy.
The $5 extra a month is EXTRA. However, I admit Iseem to be wrong ant it's only $3 more that Tivo costs ($!3 instead of $10 that I pay)
If you want to use your Tivo on a network, you have to pay $100 for the software (free on ReplayTV). If you have an older Tivo you also need to buy a net card (free on Replay).
So, you have now spent $400+ for a box that still has less features than the box I bought for $209, and the monthly fee is higher.
correctly display the address, it first warns me that I am about to visit an address with an username in it. Don't see why IE can't do this.
Way to go, MS.
But, I'm sure the press with report this as a problem with "the web" or "the internet" and that "all web browsers" or even worse that "the web browser" is affected by it.
I thought about spending $600 to build a mythtv box and then $10-$15 a month in electricity to run it, but decided a ReplayTV would be cheaper ($200 + $10 a month), easier for my wife to use, and would do most of what I wanted.
I chose replay over Tivo because it was much ($100 or so + $5 a month) cheaper for the ReplayTV with ehternet and sharing and picture viewing and all that, plus it has auto-commericial-skip (beware: the 55xx series does not). I wish it had the thumbs up/down thing, but nothing is perfect.
Now, if mp3 and video game emulation are must-haves, then build the MythTV box. Tivo also supports mp3, but you have to spend $100 + $5 a month or something for their permission to listen to your music.
A true geek would also consider the costs involved and the non-geeks who have to use it.
It would have cost me more to build a mythtv unit than it was to buy my replaytv with lifetime subscription.
My wife would never have figured out the mythtv, it would probably crash, it doesn't have auto-commerical skip or advanced scheduling, and it doesn't take 200W+ (about $15 a month) to run.
If only the replaytv played mp3s I would be set. The picture viewer is nice, though. Mythtv's weather report and atari-emulator-front-end are nice too.
You seem to know a lot, what would you recommend for a good, wired component with storage to play mp3s?
(I just spent a MONTH running one cat5e cable to my family room and I am going to get the most out of it if it kills me. For future reference, do not assume it will be easy to run a cable up two stories on an external wall (no internal walls) in a half brick (brick = 3 wall layers, not 2, with lots of cross members) half vinyl home an attic that would be a tight sqeaze for a rat that is filled with blown fiberglass insulation. Yes, now that I have 5 holes in the wall and unknown number of holes drilled I will run a second cable along the first, or maybe more)
Every few weeks he ask the police if they were following their own procedures and policies in her case, which they obviously weren't since she was never charged.
They imprisoned him for disturbing order or some such nonsence. I believe the sentence was for several years.
What is your definition of "rice burner" and "rice boy."
Everyone I ever knew in New England defines a riceburner as a car with lots of stupid additions that do nothing for performance, like a 8 inch exhaust pipe and neon, and rice boys are the people you drive these angry-bumblebee-sounding cars. These are not to be confused with import tuners and their modded imports that could beat a Cobra in a drag race.
Then I moved to Texas, where "rice" = "Asian" and suddenly my Maxima became a riceburner(?!)
So, what's your definition? Don't make me bring up the koozie vs. cozy North vs. South arguement.
But back on topic, modding is just another form of art. Some people try to be "cool" (resulting in 1,000,001 window mods) and others try to express themselves and may result in something amazing. My modding honestly started by accident out of necessity (blue led fans cost the same as regular fans...), and now, like many of my computer projects, has gained a life of it's own...

That is sort of an exception. However, does anyone ever say it was made by BLACK aliens?
That's what I thought.
Another good exception would be the moon landing.
Still, I am right 95% of the time so you might as well round it up to 100%.

I believe the Archos Jukebox FM Recorder does that, but it seems that product is not on their website anymore.
It's not so much a Tivo as it is a VCR for radio, but it is pocket sized and I love my (non FM) recorder. At least I did until my wife stole it.

so I think we would love programs like Adobe.
As for switching to digital, not yet. He used HUGE format negatives, when today's digital can barely keep up with 35mm.

I wonder if he used his own products to end locker room embarassment.

"Do you want a DEL (127) or a Backspace (8) in your password? How about a null character (0)? How would you even type that?"
Same way you type 127.0.8.1
Are crypt() secret keys limited to certain characters?
If so, change it.
If not, 8 bytes = 64 bits = 2^64 keys = 18.4 quintillion
270 billion in 80 minutes means 18.4 quintillion keys would take 14,296 years.
Pardon me if I don't quake in my boots yet.
and play not just music but video and pictures.
Makes $300 for just music a little silly.
server running all day just for music.
You seem to know a lot, what would you recommend for a good, wired component with storage to play mp3s?
