The news shows are the worst. I think it's Dateline that is top of the cake.
You can watch the last 5 minutes of an hour long episode and not miss a thing. I think they are afraid of losing someone that just changed to their channel.
But often, even if I find a story interesting, I'm changing to something else after a couple commercial breaks when they tell me the whole back story for a third time.
I thought I already replied here, but it seems lost. If two replies show up, then someone found it.
mythcommflag comes with the standard MythTV install. It runs as a separate process but the make for mythtv makes mythcommflag too.
myth's commercial flagging is modular, so you could in theory replace the built in comm flagger with a differenet one. But the built in one works pretty good. I've had no reason to change it.
It does do better on some shows than others, and sometimes marks a commercial in a weird place. But for the most part it is accurate and helpful.
Those things suck. The couple of times I've needed to undo them after install they've either been in the most awkward position I couldn't press the tab properly, or they're so brittle they just snap. I through the damn things away now.
I lived 28 miles from my High School. I just checked, never actually new even though I drove every day. And even though I didn't have a cell phone, I never had to walk home. Imagine that.
So I'm not very good at history, but if I understand correctly, Germany has been split up and put back together a couple of times this century. Are you telling me that through all the changes, the tax codes were kept in place?
Although I agree that there are substancial bandwidth savings, you also must acount for that fact that Google utilizes GZIP, so the savings isn't as great is calculated... probably
I have a 46" HD DLP TV. Standard DVD's look pretty good on that and I'm happy with them. HDTV looks really good, but a good DVD is pretty good.
I also have a projector that shoots onto about a 96" screen. Here the DVD resultion is lacking and I am pretty excited about HD DVD's. Though I'm not as excited about having to run a new cable through my ceiling due to the stupid HDMI requirement. If HDMI is the only sticking point I'll probably bow and give in. If they have stupid DRM crap that only lets you use one player then that is a different story.
If I just had my TV, I would be slow to upgrade to HD DVD's. With the projector it's a different story.
This whole article is about the usefulness of those rear center speakers. 6.1 is on center rear, 7.1 is two rears instead of the 1 in 6.1.
In 5.1 the surrounds aren't really supposed to be "rears", but more "sides". I always thought they were rears and put them way far back behind the couch. Never really sounded great. Looked at the dolby website once and they were almost even with the couch. Sounds better there.
You guys are arguing over the proper pluralization of slang. That's funny.
P.S. I'm for typii. Just for fun.

MythTV 0.19 Released

I have Myth and enjoy it. My family enjoys it too.
I really like Myth for the network and multiple tuner features. I also like the ability to upgrade. I'm thinking of getting an OTA HD card soon, which won't render the rest of my system worthless. Can't do that with a Tivo. You'd end up with two Tivo's.
That being said I haven't recommended it to anyone I work with, and I work in the IT dept, but I'm the only Linux guy of the group. I tell them I really like it though, but there is a time investment.
I tell them to get a Tivo or something that "just works". It's cheaper if it has everything you want, and you don't have to mess with it.
The worse thing about MythTv is if it fails to record (very very rarely) then my wife and family blame me. With Tivo they have a company to blame:)
*** Usually the failure to record is disk full, which is our fault cause we set it not to autoexpire anything..
I have Myth too, but am unable to record digital because I just have PVR 250's. Does your QAM card only record the clear unencrypted channels? If so, are there many channels on your cable system that aren't encrypted?
I have 4 tuners, and they all get used at the beginning of the season when my wife wants to check out all the new shows. Towards the end of the season I don't think all 4 get used very often. I currently have 250G of storage, but we don't retain stuff that we have already watched. If anything I'll burn shows to DVD's to never be watched again:)

Price matched it at a competitor for $50 + 10% less. or is that $50 - 10% less. Damn arithmetic and English combinations confusing me...
No, it made sense when he wrote it. If there are zero comments, then there are zero posters. So that's 0/0.

And 1/3 of 60 minutes is 20 minutes. And 60 - 20 is, wait for it, yep you guessed it, 40 minutes.
and 43.5 minutes is pretty close to 40 minutes.
ta da!

I think MS signs their security notification emails.
And PayPal sends me a notification for any funds received and such. So they do send emails still.
Tranny fluid isn't green.
It's not worth $120 either, but it's not green.
At least not the tranny fluid I've ever used.

Grew up on Kent Island. This article made me think, "I should call my Dad."

There was recently some article in some paper about some guy going on the longest flight ever.
Wouldn't any space shuttle flights completely destroy any longest flight records?

This and the siblings posting made me ruin my keyboard.
But it does bring up a point that drives my crazy... ppl that use "couple" to refer to 3 or more, and ppl that use "few" to refer to 2 objects.
Doesn't that mean it has feet or something? :)

Is the channel change speed significantly faster or slower? What capture card do you use?
Thanks

Could I be the first to point out that it's just 10 Kelvin? no degrees here
Anyone ever seen "Crash" ?
I was crying during the scene with the little girl. My wife was bawling.
Great movie BTW
