I feel these manufactures are moving backwards. I don't want a small tablet, I would much prefer something more usable with a 15" or 17" screen. These things are just too small to really be useful.
When I purchased my TiVo i was given the option for the lifetime service. It was somewhere around $300 however it has paid for it's self in savings of not having to pay for the cable company's DVR capabilities.
I love my TiVo box now, and the fact that I don't have any extra monthly bills makes it even better. 2 cable cards is still cheaper than 1 HD box rental. and I'm not really missing the on-demand. I have Netflix for that.
With the new privacy controls added in, it seems a feature that would have now been useful for this change is now gone. and thats the ability to view your Wall as one of your friends.
Since you can now restrict posts to groups, it would be nice to have this feature to see what all information each group is seeing.
You still have the ability to view your information as one of your friends, but they removed the wall tab.
Does anybody know about HD support, I know it has it but curious if it's limited to only 720p like the AppleTV or if it will display 1080i/p.
And is there anything to stop me from installing XBMC on there. (I doubt there is but I'm not a big fan of boxee)
You were able to stream content from Netflix on Tivo units far before Xbox users were even allowed to.
Now it seems Tivo allows users to stream Blockbuster, I'm wondering how long until m$ gets exclusive rights to stream that as well.
I really love the FreeBSD project, and it's defiantly an outstanding operating system, over the years though i have gotten really tired of the constant compiling of everything. It's really not efficient when your dealing with over 100 servers.
"FreeBSD you can press ^T while cp is copying some huge file, and this will send SIGINFO to cp, causing it to print a progress report to STDERR. Handy."
Hehe... well thats because the installer has not loaded the usb modules yet.. it would do the same in 4.7 or 4.6.. it's best just to enable USB in your rc.conf then run the sysinstaller
The version you pay for is arlready compiled packages...deb.rpm etc.. where as on the cvs server you just get the source code... I atempted compiling the source and well lets just say it was not a fun atempt.. if anybody wants to try to compile it you gotta use gmake but most of the headers in the code are not going to use since it's based upon linux.. the only success reports i've read is from the rpm (ie. by rpm -i --ignoreos --root/compat/linux --dbpath/var/lib/rpm package) some other tweaks you gotta do also... and something not nobody decided to make not of is that since BSD does not support block devices (at least i dont think it does) your going to need the no-cd crack.. i spent about 2 days working on this finally got wine and winex to play nicely w/ each other.. then i installed wc3.. then time to play wc3 and test it out.. but i guess i had an older rpm laying around because i got a big phat error message saying that wc3 required directX 8.1
I've been using linux for somewhat around 5 or 6 years now.. then about a year ago a guy i work with turned me onto FreeBSD and i can say this i will never go back to linux again.. though i'm still new to the BSD world i can say that it's definatly superior to linux in many ways..

This could get interesting.

There's an App for that.

Actually the Mac Pro's at least the 1,1 Uses ECC. Which technicaly is a desktop that can run windows.

I did not know about this. Thanks for sharing
Might be a small issue, but no reason to get somebody fired over.. People make mistakes all the time.
Us old timers might not get the `rm` anymore but we still have `dd`
Postfix is great.. Configure Postfix + spamassasin + amavis + Qmail LDAP + Procmail And you got yourself one badass mailserver
