    Fair point.

    How about imagining Natalie Portman naked and petrified? ;)

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?

    Can you tell me how you ensure how no information gets sent to Facebook across all the computing platforms you use?

    Wow, CrazyJim....You had quite the popularity back in those days. I don't recall the details, but somehow Agent911 springs to mind. Did you guys used to partner?

    Do you play WoW? If so, which server?

    I see a lot of Hitachi's being scraped everyday. You wouldn't want to run one though. Even if you could provide input power, you know how much that would cost?

    Thanks for the response.

    I have this bridge, http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=4 32&grid=33

    A netgear switch has connections to the bridge, the Tivo USB adapter (Xircom), and the PS2 network adapater.

    Tivo can update, but Madden and Twisted Metal can't get out.

    Hi Mgs,

    I'm wondering, did you have any problems connecting the PS/2 to the wireless bridge. I could not get out with the PS/2, but the Tivo worked fine.

    Rgds,

  8. Re:I still don't understand ... on TiVo Series 2 Review · · Score: 1

    Forgot to mention the cable hookup. If you have Digital Cable, your best option would to be to use the S-Video out on the cable box and plug it in to your Tivo's S-video in. Then use the Tivo's S-video out to connect to your TV. The Tivo is connected inline between your cable source (box or wall) and the TV.

    It has a wire with a IR port on the end. There's an adhesive to stick the IR port 'sender' to the cable boxes IR 'receiver'. You program the Tivo to issue commands to your particular type of cable box. When the Tivo wants to change the channel, it issues the command through it's IR port, and the channel changes.

    The 9960 is faster. Much faster. EMC still uses it's 10+ year old bus architecture. First with 2Gbps FC support too.

    You don't need bnetd to play on the LAN. There are IPX and non routed IP options available.

    How does Linux for mainframe connect to mainframe DASD? Do you have device files for 3390-3 and 9's? Do they mask it as SCSI volumes? What about FICON?

    I saw computer games for rent at blockbuster at one time. Guess it just the classification of the software.
