My suspicion is that video hardware isn't fast enough to run DOOM3 at acceptable speeds. Either that, or the artwork isn't done (artwork of that kind of detail can take a *long* time to complete).
That's an interesting approach, but it's unnecessary. Computers, whether connected to a network or not, only do what they're programmed to do. It just so happens that. today, a lot of computers are programmed (accidentally or otherwise) to execute arbitrary code from unauthorized third parties. There are ways to avoid this, but many programmers are too lazy or inexperienced to care.
So what information does TiVo collect about its viewers? The company can indeed tell what has been watched on a particular TiVo box, down to the second, including the number of times a moment was rewound and played again, or a commercial was skipped.
lack of plugins for mozilla (come on, no shockwave? weak!)
IIRC, Shockwave (as opposed to Flash) is Windows-dependent. However, if you don't mind parting with a little money (and you're running on an x86, which I suspect you are), I suggest you have a look at what CodeWeavers offers.
As far as your other problems are concerned, I use Debian GNU/Linux almost exclusively, and I can say that I don't have any of the problems you've described. (Although, I use Mozilla Firefox, not Mozilla itself.) I suspect your problems might be related to driver bugs.
I don't think Linux is perfect (far from it), but it's currently the best tool I've found so far that allows me to get stuff done.
"Trusted Computing" has a lot of useful applications, such as in creating large distributed computing networks and online voting, using "trusted third parties" (TTPs). That is, provided it has support for multiple TTPs which are selected by the end user.
How's postfix's security record? i.e. Can I set up a postfix server, then go on an 18-month holiday and be confident that my box will still be working when I get back (like I can with qmail)?

It's easy. Use djbdns for a little while. BIND stars to look very sendmail-esque after that.
Bah! Yes you do... Well, at least 2 of the 3, anyway.

That way, your filesystem won't be massively corrupted if the power goes out.
What is the plural form of UNIVAC?

Well, you could start by telling them not to fuck it all up with software patents.
Yep. It's great for working around the limitations of NAT, among other things. Especially with 6to4.
I know I'm going to get modded down for this, but... (+1 Insightful)
You mean "lose".
If you're using UTF-8 as input, the code already works.
Why? He's just a politician.
You'd take a bullet for Bush?
Here's a quote:
So why don't you (for example) charge your mother 1/5 of what the TiVo subscription fees to maintain her xmltv software via ssh.
That sort of business model worked for CodeWeavers.
MythTV doesn't tell a third party what you've been watching, for one thing.
Was that for a regular hard drive? I did that with my laptop hard drive, but I assumed it was unique to laptop hard drives.
Horses don't normally wear clothes, you know.

No, it doesn't. Running BIND makes it complex.
Why not just reduce the FCC to only license the RF spectrum?
Asshole, I can understand, but sexist? What do you base that claim on?
