Are you sure of that? I have not had any problems, other than it chopping off because it went longer than should.
But, to be honest... other than news and some SNL.. I rarely watch NBC.
Hmm, now that I think on it.. I rarely watch ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox anymore..
Hmm, I have a factory Refirb Pioneer and it's been running great for over a year it's even been thru 6 power outages.
Tivo hardly produces any hardware anymore, so it should be the THIRD party people you should be bitching at, not tivo. (Did they ever produce anything themselves?)
But. Replay does not work well or at all with DirecTV systems. I tried a replay last year about this time.. 3 days, a lot of calls and a lot of headaches later. I got both Replay AND DirecTV to admit that the two providers don't work well/at all with each other. ARGH!
So, take the thing back to best buy and return it.. and the person at the service desk said I was the 4th person this month returning a Replay unit because they can't interact with DirecTV receivers.
So, I went and got a DirecTV/Tivo receiver combo and haven't looked back since.
As for building my own.. well, they don't interact with satellite TV either. Now, I am putting an antenna up so I'll be picking up about 20+ local HDTV channels.. I'll probably build a setup for that.
I would just be happy if they actually FINISH some of the series... I am STILL waiting for the final episode of "Big O"..they did a repeat when it should have shown, then nothing for 2 weeks.. now they are playing all the episodes again.
Yu Yu has been pulled, moved, restarted so many times I have no idea when or where it's on (I think it's of now). Same with several other shows they have on there.
CN does a REALLY good job of irking me when it comes to the anime they show... at least I still have TechTV's Anime Unleashed.
Now, to just get Directv to carry the Anime Network..
Oh come on.. the site has to be perfectly valid.. it's sponsered by beef jerkey!
The Eros Project is primarily sponsored by Beefjerky.com. You can support this critial legal work in progress by trying some delicious "Final Frontier Jerky" from Beefjerky.com. This is the beef jerky that is selected by Astronauts and has flown to Space three times.
Funny thing.. I read this on/., went to check my email accounts and there is one of the emails about this and the PDF file of the settlement.
At first I thought it was from the RIAA.. then remembered I don't have kazza or any other fileshare installed.
As for using it to get around malls/ workplaces/ etc... you know all of the signs that say NO (insert whelled device here)? I'm sure that segways are not going to be allowed in these places before bikes are.
Don't work in many large workplaces do you? Go to any large or even midsized factory.. you are talking miles and miles of walking for managers, team leaders, support people.
Segway would really work well in these environments, have a problem 3/4 of a mile away at the other end of the asspebly area? You can be there in 2 or 3 mins or less instead of 15 or so to walk.. thats the difference between making $500,000 or loosing $700,000 in down time.
Postal workers that walk their deliveries would also find this to be a heart attack saver.
You can get more police out of their cars and actually walking/segwaying the beat so they can get to know the community better.
I agree that with the "common" person the segway is more of a useless toy, but there are so many nitch areas that it could easily be used to help.
I'll admit I haven't followed all of this that closely..
But do we even know WHAT SCO IP's they are wanting Linux users to License? Last I remember anything on that, they were keeping the IPs quiet till the case comes to trial.
Wouldn't this be counted as vaporware sales if that's the case?
Re-read the article.. they want the elimination of all free email service worldwide.
They, and I quote: '"Do away with free internet (email) accounts," he said. "If they aren't free then people will pay by credit card and that gives law enforcement some starting point.'
They want their jobs to be easier.
Another great quote: '"There will always be rogue states that will provide an internet haven in the same way they provide a banking haven," he said. "This has to be seriously raised at an international level."'
Hire a shreadding service.. they bring a truck around and you just shread into a huge hopper.. since they do several different compnaies a day... all the shreads are mixed together.
No way they could put Company A's documents together when B, C, D, E and F are also in the same hopper.
ROFLMAO.. man.. that is the best. Can't wait to show this to my co-workers.. oh, did I mention I work in the auto industry?
Yes, there are RFID transmitters in cars.. paper thin ones. But they are only used IN PLANTS for tracking of parts so that Sub A goes to Car Model A and not Car Model B.
Yes, auto plants make more than one design of a car on the SAME "lane".. the RFID's are used to keep all the components in the proper order.
The chips in tires are used in car.. they are used to show the DRIVER information about the tires. Mind you, you have to get into the $30K+ range to see that normally.
As for the road sensors stuff... for as much as state dodts love teraing up roads they just did the year prior.. I can't see anyone justify the cost of that wide spread of an install.
99% of what your seeing is only monitoring traffic flow, not speed.
I really do hate to blow your conspiracy theory bubble.. but your gettign a lot of BAD information.
Slashdot Mirror
But still, this is why I have held off on getting an X Box.. price.. and games I would actually play.
That one is gone already. But he has one for 35$ here that ends in 7 hours.
I may have missed it while reading and controlling fits of laughter.

most with no OS, Win98 is the average OS if there IS one installed.
But you can get a 1.4Ghz notebook for 750$ or less.
Can you make all those fancy scripts, apps and hardware work with DirecTV?
Already looked into it, nope.
So, TiVo isn't going anywhere for a while. Besides, 149$ for a tivo... CAN you build a setup that cheap to make it even worth while?
Are you sure of that? I have not had any problems, other than it chopping off because it went longer than should. But, to be honest... other than news and some SNL.. I rarely watch NBC. Hmm, now that I think on it.. I rarely watch ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox anymore..

I think your anger is slightly miss-directed.

You can flip people off and then say, "No, I wasn't giving you the bird, I was buying a Coke."

e-bomb eh? Well, I guess that's better than an i-bomb.. Already have too many i-bomb's on the market as it is..
Here is a better idea.

General Motors is a lot worse in that reguard.. you bring any kind of camera into a GM workplace, you are fired on the spot.
Makes it hard when I went to upgrade my cell phone.. had to find one without a camera feature.

Forgot to add, you can add a touch screen to any of the above boards.
300mhz Geode processor (I have seen up to P3 700mhz boards)
256 memory
512 flash drive (for OS)
compact flash (why use a HD?)
OS? Windows to linux to a half a dozen others..
for under 600$
Hmm, now I may have to tinker and build a car PC now... in any case.. I will have 10 of the above in a month :)
info to get ya started:
kontron
winsystems
arcon
versalogic
m-systems (storage)

So, the subject line is correct, for once.
Hire a shreadding service.. they bring a truck around and you just shread into a huge hopper.. since they do several different compnaies a day... all the shreads are mixed together. No way they could put Company A's documents together when B, C, D, E and F are also in the same hopper.
Everything confidential I have that isn't kept goes out to my burn pit.. Living in the country helps.

And that's a surprise? ;)
Not like this review was done by someone at TechTV or at least some kind of tech site.
