  1. Re:The Swiss Army Knife Effect on XBox + UltimateTV for $500 · · Score: 1

    I use my Victrinox (sp?) CyberTool for building all my computers. Bought it a couple of years ago in London for 50ukp. It has a great socket set and is specifically for sysadmins (doesn't have a saw and a compass). Personally I'd go for a PS2 and a Tivo, I wouldn't even buy an XBox and DirecTivo, let alone a bastardisation of the two. It's more like the HiFi effect than Swiss Army Knife - the amps are never as good when they're stuck to your CD player.

  2. Hollywood+ on MPEG-4 Hardware Decoder For $99 · · Score: 1

    I wish they'd make this an upgrade for their Hollywood+ DVD card - then I could watch the DVD's I've ripped to DivX on my TV ;o)

    The Hollywood+ is much nicer than my All In Wonder for TV output, and it only cost me £35 three years ago.....

  3. Would *you* want this? on Linux Vendors to Standardize on Single Distribution · · Score: 1

    These have got to be the worst distributions around, I can't even see how the best bits combined would even rival Mandrake, let alone the might of RedHat.

    This might be a Good Thing(tm) for ex-Windows users who want these dumbed-down distros I guess, but you wouldn't catch me using anything but Mandrake on the desktop and RedHat for servers.
