  1. Re:This is why you roll your own PVR. on ReplayTV Price Drop Bait-and-Switch · · Score: 1

    Tivo supports a MythTV front end, if you hack it.

  2. Re:Now how about. on MySQL Gets Functions in Java · · Score: 1

    offtopic, but Postgresql has had support for years also.

  3. Re:Get a Tivo on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 1

    So now with a TiVo properly hacked, you can run a web & ftp server, nice Web frontend, MythTV front end, download/reencode shows, etc.

    And plenty of hacking you can still do, and still much cheaper, less power hungry, and just as fun than a custom solution.

  4. already got it, TiVo! on TV For Nerds: Cable Science Network? · · Score: 1

    It only shows what I want to watch all the time, whenever I want, without annoying repeats, and as much geeky science shows, or not, from any channel as I like. Even add in some porn if I feel like it.

    No channel is my master; only Cable.

    Firebird (Gecko/20031211)

  6. Re:Supply a link, this article says IE only. on New IE Bug Hides Real Site Address · · Score: 1

    Mozilla 1.5 (Gecko/20031007) for Win32 and Firebird (Gecko/2003121) for Win32 IS NOT VULNERABLE.

    Sure you can click on the Javascript link, but once you get to the site, it clearly shows up as *%01@domain.com in the link bar, not www.microsoft.com as intended.

  7. Get a Tivo on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 1

    It's cheaper to get a Tivo, and if you really wanted to hack something, hack the Tivo, for more HD space, better kernel, ethernet support, TivoWeb, and whatever else.

    Fun and cheap.

  8. Re:Apple? on SCO Hints at *BSD Lawsuits Next Year, And More · · Score: 1

    NeXTStep was based off BSD 4.3 and you can trace it from there.

  9. Clie-UX will crush this! on Sharp Zaurus SL-C860 Announced For Japan · · Score: 1

    Even though the Sony Clie UX is in many ways and times more primitive compared to this Zaurus (real compact flash support, large color screen, long battery life, industry standards support), the Clie UX, or some derivative of it every 2 months from Sony will end up be ubiquitious, IMO :)

    Much like VHS vs Beta.

  10. shoulda patented this! on Home Directory In CVS · · Score: 1

    I use CVS to distribute everything from webserver files, to installation releases, webserver configs, home directories, so on years ago.

    Damn, should've patented it when I had the chance!

  11. Re:Ummm... on Quantum Cryptography Systems Commercially Launched · · Score: 1

    Can't you clone with entangled photons? Or the process of entangling the photon changes it too?

  12. Re:About the ending--**SPOILER** on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    "Greetings Programs!"

  13. good SCSI dvd+/-rw drive? on SCSI vs. IDE In The Real World · · Score: 1

    While on SCSI, I've noticed most of the brands such as Sony/Plextor/Pioneer make only IDE dvd burners.

    IS there a comparable brand/model that runs as SCSI?

  14. Firefly? on Slashback: Forbes, VoIP, Firefly · · Score: 1

    Where is it?! Another round of taunting by /.?

  15. Re:CPU power draw on The Cost of Distributed Client Computing? · · Score: 1

    my Samsung SyncMaster 700ift (17") draws 70watts/hr at arbitrary brightness.

    My Athlon 1.5GHz system (2 scsi, 3 ide, 1 GF4, 4 fans) draws 170watts/hr idle, and 190watts/hr loaded.

    What are you running in your face, a microwave?

  16. 3D picture? on Largest Hubble Mosaics Ever Assembled · · Score: 1

    Can that Mission3-D's Photo3-D 303 kit handle this?

    Then slap it into Freelancer, and I'll fly around for a look. :)

  17. Gundam linear-cockpit! on 10 Panel LCD Displays · · Score: 1

    Getting closer. All it needs is a nice computer chair suspended in a spherical surrounding display.

    How's that for a FPS? :)

  18. Re:cool! on 9th Circuit Overturns FCC's Cable Modem Decision · · Score: 1

    So, North Korea is both a 2nd and 3rd world nation?

  19. Re:dual layer double sided? on Dual Layer DVD+R Developed · · Score: 1

    Isn't that just, for practical purposes, a dual-layer DVD?

  20. Re:Just watch... on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    ... that TF2 will now get out before Duke Nukem Forever.

  21. Re:Beta Patch already released on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 3, Informative

    I confirm this. Beta patch for post 2.0pro release works fine with "new" Yahoo.

  22. GAIM, jabber too? on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Anybody using jabber affected also? This has been going on for 2 good days now.

    Apparently, it's not just updating the version number of the protocol.

  23. Re:Recognizing by weight on Smart Sofa Recognizes Occupants by Weight · · Score: 1

    That "couch" was once a human being too! Now it teaches YOU the way to its intelligent couch potato'ness.

  24. Re:Can someone explain to me why.. on Remote Root Exploit In lsh · · Score: 1

    >From what I hear lsh has a much cleaner codebase. lsh started from scratch, whereas OpenSSH took the old SSH 1.2.12 (the l

    Has anybody looked at the lsh section code patched? It's a HUGE lack of understanding of how programming language works, written in ANY language.

    How can you fail to return from the function when an error occured, but continue to process like it never happened?

    This isn't some somewhat obfuscated logic error in OpenSSH, it's some plain "learning to program" error.

  25. Re:Can someone explain to me why.. on Remote Root Exploit In lsh · · Score: 1

    So it could've borrowed from SSH just like OpenSSH. What's the problem?
