commercial skipping that does not even require a remote button press. That is the killer feature for me with MythTV and why I keep using it. I also have diskless frontends and when I want a new one I can just plug it in and it just works. And then there is the web interface that I can use to program recording shows from anywhere. I agree with other posters with just using xine or another player for playing DVD's and it not being a bad thing. You can send args to xine to surpress the splash screen and everything else and then seamlessly fall back to MythTV when you hit "end" on the remote so I don't see the problem.
As for streaming, I got a blue ray player that has netflix streaming (a roku box would work and be cheaper). All of this is controlled with one universal remote. If you want flexiblity you get it with myth. If you constantly tinker and upgrade, you will always be tinkering with myth, but you can also choose to set it up and just use it. From everything I have seen, MythTV's flexibility beats everything else I have tried (to the point where people are using other solutions like xmbc as a part of their MythTV solution).
EA just does not get it. If you make the games fun then people will play them and you will make money. When you constantly piss off your Customers they see EA on the box and don't even bother to look if they might want to play the game. I have not bought an EA game in years and instantly move on to the next one if I see EA was anywhere involved with it.
for the most part I don't use development environments if I do not have to as I can work a lot faster without them. (then build with unit test, good to go).
news corp is not choosing to see it that way and wants to pay microsoft to be listed in their search engine. And if people put up signs to your business would you be mad that them? It makes no sense to be mad at Google for making your business more viable.
news corp agreeing to pay microsoft to be listed in their search engine is a good thing. Newspapers have not been paying for all the traffic search engines have been sending to them for free, but they should. And taking control of the news out of the hands of the few and putting it into many is only a good thing.
Wow, I had to go back a look, because mine just works. It almost always detects all the commercials on all stations. The algorithm that it uses is the combo blank frame / station logo / everything else. Works great.
They have no reason to own or support it except to kill it. This is exactly why the EU is blocking the deal, it makes sense to stop Oracle's purchase of Sun.
I disagree, it looks like console gaming has run its course like it did with the Atari 2600. After microsoft banned all those people and all the xbox and ps3 quality problems people are beginning to realize consoles are not as "just works" and they thought. I have upgraded my rig once in 4 years and it still runs every game I have bought in that time at a reasonable resolution. That is a lot cheaper than buying every gen console and all the extra crap with it.
i believe that the way it works is that the pollution offsets until it reaches a tipping point. Smog (colder) and CO2 buildup (hotter) for instance would offset each other. Once there is too much CO2 or what ever else it would run away hotter or colder.
there are offsetting problems from the pollution (like smog preventing light from penetrating the atmosphere, etc). Eventually, it will run away in one direction or the other.
so some kid cannot afford the tax and drops out. All future taxes they would have gotten from that person when they graduated and got a great job will never happen. Brilliant!
Remember the scene where they freeze the guy with brain implants and he is doing something that could blow everything up? Then they realize they have made a mistake and release him. No thanks.
actually, in providing the game even neutered, the Chinese will probably be forced to change over time. They will never really be able to keep a lid on cultural control and anyone that plays the actual game will be pissed that they are not allowed to play the good version.

and avoid vendor lock-in problems like this and crap quality (red ring of death)
I bet they know you typed this comment wearing only your underwear and a t-shirt with a cheeseburger stain on it.
Broadband is not yet everywhere and certainly not cheap. If they focus on that then VoIP will just happen on it's own.
RL stands for reaking liches right?

I am guessing damages in Denmark for DRM breaking are more reasonable like a fine of a bunch of tulips or a tin of those little butter cookies.

If this holds up then gun manufacturers can be held liable for murders using this as a precedence.

then it just skips commercials without even needing a remote button push and invasion of privacy like this.

if did not notice my userid, i live right next to the devil. I get to hear all kinds of crazy things. I need to move.
and if you could not turn the government propaganda sound off, even better.

They never learn, you cannot control all the software and lock everyone out to try and make every last cent on it and expect to stay on top.
that is funny. So really Microsoft has lost another 6% market share instead of gaining 10%.
