  1. Re:That sucks on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    My better half is using normal computer.
    A G5 Tower?

  2. Re:Awesome on Plextor PVRs Now Support Linux · · Score: 1

    From what I've heard the .3h ivtv drivers are fairly stable with both the 150 and 500. They also autodetect all the needed settings.

  3. Re:Output to TV for mac mini? on MP3beamer Released · · Score: 1

    There's an S-Video/composite video adapter available on apple's site. It outputs from dvi to svideo and composite.

  4. Re:Gameplay inspired by these? on Midway to Create Adult Swim Titles · · Score: 1

    I can't wait for
    "Captain Murphy's, Pod Six are Jerks, Golf Challenge
    (featuring Eggers and Monster Hesh)"

  5. Re:C'mon on Samsung's Linux-based Diskless Camcorder · · Score: 1

    This article is about a camcorder.
    Where are these numerous yet relatively small files?
    With a camcorder there will most often be very few very large files.

  6. Re:You're way off base on Kahle v Ashcroft Appeal Filed · · Score: 1

    Except that WORKS are ideas.

  7. Re:Ummm, Penny Lane? on Mac mini Dissection · · Score: 1

    It's one of those things where I just thought I was mis-hearing the lyrics and never tried to check what they really were. Now I know a Mac is a Raincoat, though I have heard of them being called macintoshes but noone I know actually calls them that.

  8. Re:Too hot? on Looking Ahead to Tiger, Powerbook G5s · · Score: 1

    Realistically, it's not too hot to be put into a laptop. It's just too hot to be put into a laptop as thin as the powerbook.

  9. Re:Kinda meager on the specs... on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1

    Your warranty will only "go up in smoke" if you damage the machine. They're only recommending you don't service it yourself.

  10. Re:Err...bollocks on Labels Trying New CD Copy Prevention Systems · · Score: 1

    I just wanted to point out that you didn't pay for a license to listen to the music, you paid for a CD with the music on it. There's no license, you didn't sign one, you don't need one. It's copyright that limits your uses of that music, not a license.

  11. Re:Vote with dollars on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    Why not buy 2 lg soda's and 1 lg popcorn (both should have free refills), and get some courtesy cups and bags for the kids. Most theatre's have those, at least mine does and it's a regal (which is most theatres these days).
    That would probably save you about 10 dollars.

  12. Re:Obligatory DNF reference on The Japanese/American Tech Deficit · · Score: 1

    I heard they were supposed to have it Today, but it was delayed.

  13. Re:TiVo could simply change their software a bit.. on Network Scheduling to Mess with Tivo · · Score: 1

    You can also start late and end early.
    Though a setting for "Start show up to X minutes late" would be nice.

  14. Re:They're doing what now? on Microsoft Codec Required For Blu-Ray Players · · Score: 1

    Hmm, from what I understand:
    It's coder/decoder, AFAIK, because that's what it is (it encodes and/or decodes the video).

    I've never seen compressor/decompressor before, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.

  15. Re:Project GoneME on Gnome 2.6 Usability Review · · Score: 1

    It would only make sense to put them left to right it they were left justified. Seeing as they're right justified, the most logical place for default choice is on the far right.
    At least that's I see it.

  16. Re:TiVo vs. MythTV on TiVo vs. Windows Media Center Edition · · Score: 1

    NVidia just released a new video driver (6109 I believe), that's added overscan back in. It also has a graphically setup utility and has overcome it's problems with Fedora Core 2.

  17. Re:Too simple on Gateway Wireless Connected DVD Player Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I have the same case in my MythTV box. The power supply isn't the greatest and it's kind of loud.
    I picked up one of these, and it's much quieter. Although it's still not silent, you can't hear it when you're watching TV.

  18. Re:I can do all this now on TiVo Will Stream Content From The Web · · Score: 1

    Do you live in a drum or something? Or maybe you live inside one of the members of the band?

  19. Chopper Dave, on Chopper Pilots Train to Catch Space Probe · · Score: 2, Funny

    we have uh-oh.

  20. Re:And in other news... on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    Uh, putting chili on spaghetti?

    Thanks a lot, now I have to go to Hard Times tonight.

  21. Re:Roundabouts. on Gridlock Expert Takes On Sim City Streets · · Score: 1

    Actually, in the US yeilding to the right is only used at 4 way stops when 2 cars arrive at the same time. In a circle you yeild to the left, in other words to cars already in the circle. BTW, I do live in the US, and they're popping up all over the place near my house.

  22. Re:Two simple changes to improve the dock on Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1

    I feel the need to point out that the line separator is not the Dock's border.

  23. Re:MythTV is missing an all important feature... on Major New TiVo Service Offerings · · Score: 1

    A lot of video problems are more related to capture card. I don't have one, but people have claimed if you use a PVR 350 for your input and output the quality is around best on the Tivo. Of course, you will lose quality because you can't capture the digital signal like a directTIVO can.

    As far as audio goes Mythtv can capture the AC3 stream if you have a SPDIF input.

  24. Re:remember the old phrase... on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except for the fact that you will most likely be doing this in your free time when you would otherwise not be working. You would lose time when you could be relaxing or spending time with other people, but not money.

  25. Re:agreed on ViewSonic AirPanel v150 Review at Ars Technica · · Score: 1

    He's probably referring to this.
