Um... It runs well under Wine?
Actually, most IBM (windows) software runs well under Wine. Me thinks it's because IBM uses published APIs for development and not MS "secret sauce"...
They probably use the bic pin to set the pins and the scissors to apply the torque
Yeah? I say set the torque with Bic pen. You could then set the pins with a stiff wire. Simple for a hacker. Wasn't MIT full of great locksmiths? (By no means, I'm not one!)
Jim Burger, a lawyer for TiVo, fumed about the NFL's complaint: "Maybe their engineers understand how to inflate a football, but I don't think they understand encoded, encrypted MPEG-2," TiVo's tightly secured format.
Perhaps it is Mr. Burger that doesn't understand. The ability to rip unencumbered video streams from a hacked TiVi has existed for sometime now. If you want to know the future, Mr. Burger, study the past...
Linux doesn't *need* a new filesystem to keep up with windows. Windows can have it's sure-to-be-bug-ridden shiney filesystem, and I'll keep everything important that I have on something more stable with a proven track record.
Care to point out the bugs in the current NTFS that make you sure the next one will also be?
He didn't say NTFS, he said "shiney" as in new as in WinFS. Would you be in a hurry to deploy a version one MS filesystem in a production environment? While the original poster is marked "Flamebait", his point is extremely valid...
Screw whether he's right or wrong! He's perfectly happy being wrong! This means we can send a box into a black hole and have it report back findings! Wouldn't you like to know what's inside a black hole?:))
I've hacked my TiVo. I have bash, a web-based interface, and yes, now I want to order pizza with my TiVo... I cracked the joke, now I must make it happen.
As anyone who has tried to play an mp3 in winplay 3 with a 486 DX2-66 can attest, the 486 was woefully inadequate.
Not so! I would convert mp3's to.au's so I could play them on my 486-DX2-66;) (Where there's a will, there's a way!)

I grew up on an Atari ST520, later upgraded to a 1040 (eleet)
Funny, My first PC was the Atari 1040ST with the PC-Ditto hardware mod. Yup, I soldered that NEC V20 daughter board right on top of the 68000 CPU. Funny thing, since the ST didn't have the same hardware limitation the PC had, My Atari turned PC had 704K base memory free... (704K should be enough for anybody, right?;)

SFU is not shipped with Windows because SFU currently contains open-source software, such as the GNU C compiler, which cannot be distributed with commercial software. Zions confirmed that Microsoft is working to replace all open-source code in SFU with commercially licensed alternatives.
He is still working on his speech. He hasn't yet decided on what he need to tell everyone else to think yet.
For someone who 'loves' free speach, he sure doesn't like people who think differently than he does.
He doesn't like to pay his bandmates, apparently. He was accused of intentionally ripping off his band (FRAUD). The court ruled against him eight times, and he has yet to win a motion.
Man, if this checks out, Jello will have succeeded in totally removing himself from my list of admired people. What about it, Eric? Are you just a blow-hard capitalist a-hole like the kind you b*tch about? How's that 1.1 million dollar home in SF working out for you? Hey, I know! Do you stiff your servants, too? Is the word fraud appropriate for ya, Eric?
What a clown. I do not care what he has to say. Perfect punishment for an ego-maniac...
Even better, don't use a fake email. I use me@privacy.net. If you send mail there, you get an auto-reply that says the submitter likes their privacy and you generally suck for being an email harvester. Go ahead, send me@privacy.net an email and see what I mean...
You said "The guy's not stupid. He's knows how to stay off the radar."
Now, is advertising yourself as free-lance cruise missle designer on the Internet what you would call "staying off the radar?" If you were referring to Castro, perhaps you should state that.
The moral of the story: When the united state's military says you are not to build a giant cannon, you do not build a giant canon, be it by lack of funds or surplus of lead. (Emphacis mine) Are you sure that wasn't Mossad?
What's the difference? Who paid the assassin? On the other hand, I think I might go to such extremes in Saddam was pointing that at me...
When will they understand that computers are simply tools? Would they be up in arms if they found out that terrorists use public transport to meet each other? Would there be draconian restrictions on who can board the subway?
As far as updates, I'm not sure of your point, considering the linux platform also has daily updates.
I think the day is coming whereby LM hashes are no longer supported, period. I just think that day should have been five years ago.
Of course, if they'd have stopped with the whole AD thing and licensed NDS from Novell none of this would be an issue. Even NDS has its issues but they can be dealt with far more easily.
Amen, brother! Unfortunately, they were not interested in doing what was technically superior. They wanted Novell... Dead, that is. Doesn't quite serve the consumer, now, does it...

Is that with the lock unlocked? How does that help you with a locked device?

Well, it'll report back findings at some stage in the distant future in an unrecognisable form :-P

I have a Tivo and set up just fine over VOIP. The story seems to be a bunch of fear, but no real substance.

Oh, and I ordered a pizza yesterday just fine from it.
Your TiVo? That's awesome!
I've had more than one IT Manager specify to me that their email address is 'lower case', so I stand by my original post.
IT Management... Where the less you know, the further you go! (I guess it's because you can "relate" better with the average 1D10T...)
I would hope he didn't use a random method of comment gathering as anything under +3 is generally junk (and thus why it holds there).
