  1. Check schools placement center on How Important is a Well-Known CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    Having recruited for my company (large telecom equipment company) for a couple years and having seen my company drastically reduce the number of new hires I can give a little advice. My company decided to only hire from what they called Tier 1 schools. I don't remember the exact definition of a Tier 1 school but it ended up being schools that were either top ranked in any location or schools located very close to a work site. Now that hiring is increasing I still haven't seen that rule change. So my advice is to look at what companies recruit at the school by calling the school placement center. My guess is some schools don't have many recruiters show up. If the schools in question have the same recruiters or a similar number of companies you would be willing to work for then it probably doesn't matter much.

  2. Try www.snapstream.com for less headaches on Build Your Own PVR · · Score: 1

    After trying mythtv for a while and not finding episode information I switched to snapstream. http://www.snapstream.com They go by BeyondTV now. It supports the hauppauge PVR cards and their remote controls. It support remote programming and configuration. It even streams the shows your record. Anyway, I am very happy with their product. It is $69.99 but worth it to me. It has free guide information and also supports episode information and many features like tivo for finding and recording programs. It also has a commercial detection algorythm that will mark the shows you record so that you can see where the commercials are.
