I had assumed I'd put one in each of the six PCI slots on the motherboard. I've never actually seen someone USE all the slots, but I hadn't heard you COULDN'T. Is that a bad assumption?
There are definitely boundary conditions to your claim, especially when you are need so many. No, you can't make one for $79 that's just a single MythTV box. However your need for six of them makes MythTV worth considering. The thing to remember, the only part a computer user doesn't already have is the capture card, and that's now a cheap part at around $30 to 50.
Just now on Newegg I put together a box that could record the 6 streams you need, remote and all. Based on the $80 a unit figure you mentioned with Froogle as my guide I'm assuming you're getting the 40 hour Replay Units. The one I put together will hold less video, depending on resolution settings by about 40 to 60 hours. Other than that, the price difference would make this box cheaper if you use it for more than 6 months (assuming $13 dollars a month). Oh, and I threw in a DVD burner if you want to actually DOCUMENT your project.
You've made a common rounding error that shows up often in this sort of thing, similiar to the one that caused the Pentium II problem.
A pentagram is actually 6.66 grams.
Right. You're thinking of pentameter which, as everyone knows is a military meter as costs much more than a typical meter, to cover "special projects."
I'm not sure it's that they are missing something, but they are TOO round and shiny. Eyes don't fully reflect everything making his seem marble like.
The teeth look like dentures at best too. It's very good, but definitely strikes me as wax like.
Does it make the labels wrong simply because that's not the label he chose himself?
Call it postmodernist if you must, but if the reviewer read his book and decided he comes across as conservative and right-wing, perhaps it is because his beliefs and those considered to be conservative and right-wing overlap.
There are only so many beliefs you can have within the realm of sanity; we tend to label these in context of an ever evolving spectrum. Like all arbitrary standards, whether or not you wish to be compared to it is fruitless; the standard exists in order to compare aspects of your beliefs. The best you can hope for in terms of non-comparison is "No Comment."
Having read several of his essays, and being at least somewhat aware of (admittedly stereotypical) tenets of Libertarianism, I'd say that both he and you most likely DO hold many "right-wing" views. It does not naturally follow that you hold views in line with the Republican party simply because it also considered to represent the "right-wing."
I think the arguement of being outside the spectrum is probably the one as laid out in the Wikipedia in regards to a graphing scale rather than a linear one. While I grant it may have merit, it in the context of a limited body of work the argument seems fallacious, as the seperation between economic freedom and personal freedom is not a concrete one and relies on typecasting and presumption that you must isolate the two.
Instead I would propose that Libertarians actually are the most pure form of the right wing, believing that freedoms must be preserved at all costs and being unwilling to compromise in the ways that Conservatives often have.
Even having read Hayek's essay on Conservatives, it still doesn't seem to address the basic point that the scale is a matter of convenience for the oberserver, not a strict definition of a set of beliefs.
I've seen screeners that had parts of the movie in black and white instead of color, to hopefully deter piracy I suppose. (I doubt it did.)

I'm not versed in Apple but I suspect you are missing the point. The idea isn't that you can create an ad hoc network, you can do that with just about any wifi cards on any platform. The joy of this is you can set up your linux box to behave just as a wireless router would with more powerful tools. It's the TOOLS that make this fun. Everything you can set up for a linux gateway you can apply to your entire wireless AP without spending the money for a commercial version.
Yes, your generic AP for $40 will let you have SOME of the following features, but I've yet to see one that offers all the tools of a linux gateway.
For example, does your Apple or $40 wireless gateway offer:
- NAT (Probably) - DHCP (Probably some version of it) - Firewall software (Some basic version probably) - Caching and Proxy (as in Squid) - Packet shaping - QoS management - MAC filtering - SSH tunneling - VPN
and that's a partial list of what you can control with Linux. I've not seen a cheap gateway that offers ALL of that as customizable as you are willing to make it.
You are like the Baptist extremist who says that Catholics are not Christian.
I know, I know, don't feed the trolls. Anyway, don't piss this away too quickly. It depends on whether you are talking about Christian as from an outside cultural view or Christian from an internal fundamentalist view. ( As in the US is a "Christian" nation VS "born again" believers ). It is quite possible to be a Catholic and not be a Christian in the fundamentalist sense of the word, because it possible to join the Catholic church, or Baptist or any other church, and be confused about the meanings behind the words you are saying. One of the largest points of tension between the protestants and the Catholics is that Catholics are often confused that the source of salvation is the church itself: Hence the severity of excommunication.
For a brief summary of the bare minimum many people agree you need to believe to be considered "Christian" as in born again, consider reading over The Apostle's Creed, which, I understand, was popularized by the Catholic Church.
Yeah, except they'd be thrilled if lots of people did that because it makes it harder for people to find what they are looking for and that's a win in their book.
Good reason would be as defined by the home owner.

I will charge you $1.00 to prove I'm really in charge. The ATM may charge you up to an additional $1.50 as a show of support to me.

Oh come now. Being insolent requires more effort than that. Since you performed the function of "pseudo-dry intellectual humor," I will oblige you with the role of "grammar nazi."
The first mistake you made indicates you are an American, as we are notorious for botching our use of this particular verb tense. You should have used "You've made" or perhaps "You have made" instead of "You made." This is writing is traditionally considered to be present tense, and the present perfect tense is used to indicate action has begun in the past but is continuing to have an effect on the present.
Secondly, you have failed miserably (notice the present perfect tense) at using parallelism in your sentences. Parallelism is the concept of using similiar gramatical structures in each peice of your sentence in order to foster understanding. Observe the difference: You have made a reference to a situation where people are staring at you, which is often rejoindered with the drily humorous, "Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer". I believe you'll find with only slight modification the level of ostentation is raised markedly.
The third and final point I wished to make is more of a quibble with your logic rather than a true grammar gaffe, so I do appologize for breaking with the rest of my post. I'm not entirely sure that your claim of an indirect reference is entirely accurate. As the connection between the situation and the device capable of fulfilling the edict given in the situation is the source of the humor in this context, I feel the reference is far more than indirect. I would say that it is core to the entire issue at hand.
(Notice the incongruity between the foul language in the last line and the elevated and condescending tone of the rest of the post? Many people find this amusing, while others find it brash and unpleasant.)
Well that's not entirely true. Maybe companies themselves don't have a 'personality' but they do have a corporate atmosphere and they do have people affecting their decisions. It may not be true that "Google" wouldn't XXX but the people that run google have made certain wise choices in the past, and we hope they will make similiar choices in the future. When those people change, obviously "Google" changes. See also: Disney.
Ah but you notice how it almost worked. If that little disclaimer hadn't been there the FP would have said "another editor not paying attention..." etc. And for some reason, it seems to give slashdot users carte blanche to discuss everything - almost to the word - that they discussed last time.

A black pigment contains pigments of all colors, which are defined on the inverse of the light they produce.

"I know how to do it" does not equal "This is trivial."
