If you have access to a shell, you can do a one-time kill by starting up tivosh, and from there:
MfsRubbishTree/MenuItem
(and exit). Then you have to either wait for re-indexing, or restart it. However, it will come back within a day or so.
A permanent kill is available for Series 1's -- apparently this can be found in an old thread on tivocommunity.com, though the topic is banned there now. I haven't found it for Series 2's yet.
No, then it would be running on two machines instead of three; and the machine he'd be taking out would be the slowest, most likely to break from age, and hardest to replace.
I spilled some water in mine, and the Ctrl keys stopped working. It was over ten years old at that point (not sure, I got it used). Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to open the case, so I couldn't even think about repairing it -- the one downside of the design. I might give it to someone (like my mother) who never uses Ctrl.
I picked up another used one for $5, but I have to clean it before I can use it. Meanwhile, I've been using a Leading Edge keyboard from my sister's old 486.
...is a 486. At one time it was my main machine, and then it was my firewall/router/mail server/time server/DNS server/print server. Lately, it's been demoted, and no longer does firewalling/routing, nor incoming mail. I've had it since '94, and it's gone through a lot of upgrades, maxing out the RAM and processor and adding an HD, but never changing the motherboard or the original HD. Now it's being downgraded as I pull out unused parts (e.g., the sound card). Software-wise, it started out with Windows 3.1, then went through OS/2 3.0 and Linux 1.3.20 before settling on Linux 2.0.36.
My oldest machine in occasional use is a 286 running Minix. I use it as a telnet or rlogin terminal. This one I bought only a few years ago, at a thrift store ($23); it was my first 286.
My oldest machine that's still plugged in is an 8088. Like the 486, it was once my main machine. It's set up as a terminal on my LAN, but it has some trouble booting now, and it's too slow anyway, what with the CGA video. Long after I'd moved on from this as my machine, it finally got a hard disk for the first time -- a 10-meg (not gig) HardCard. It's a late-model XT, dating only to '88 IIRC. (Now that I think of it, the 286 may actually be older.)

Top 10 Reasons Why Microsoft Should Port Windows to PowerPC
They already did -- back with Windows NT 4. Plus MIPS and Alpha. But as new service packs came out, they gradually dropped support for anything but x86 (again).
There are some PPC-based CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform, IIRC) machines out there, designed to run Windows NT, which can also run recent[ish] versions of the Mac OS instead. I don't know whether or not any Macs will run NT 4.
Flipping burgers is what they do NOW. For most artists, signing with a record company just means a future of debt.
No, no one's going to buy albums. Albums are just promotion. What people will pay for is what they've paid for since time immemorial, since long before the record industry (a twentieth-century phenomenon) existed: live performance. That's how most musicians make most of their money even now.
If that means a hard time for a few bands who make interesting records but can't cut it live, well, it also means a big boost for what are now second-tier bands, once "headliners" are no longer so dominant. To me, that means more musicians get more work -- with local and regional artists displacing some national "stars".
The ones who voted against it did so because they realize that the federal gov't shouldn't be telling companies who they can and can't call.
That's a straw man. The federal government isn't telling the companies not to call. THE PEOPLE WHO SIGN UP are telling the companies not to call. They're just doing it all at once, instead of one by one.
I stopped watching television because of the advertising plague
If you ever miss TV, you might consider getting a TiVo. I've hardly seen an ad since. (Before that, I'd become a master of switching to another program and switching back just as the commercial break ended. And then there's the old standby, the "mute" button.)
The basic flaw in your screed is the phrase "decent living". It's not; it's indecent. It may not be robbery, but neither is it honest or ethical work.
And yes, I say this as someone who (to my eternal shame) worked as a telemarketer for a week. (Though technically that was for a charity that would be exempt from the Do Not Call list.) At the time, it was one of the few jobs I could get. But that didn't make it right.
It no longer costs anywhere near half a million to do a great production job -- you can do it on your home PC. As for promotion, forget radio; word of mouth has been given new power via the Internet.
I do think that, without the record industry as we knew it, we may no longer see as many "superstars" -- only a bigger number of more moderately successful artists. Who'll probably have time to develop their careers, instead of being forcibly retired after a few years. Who'll probably never be famous or rich, but will make enough to live on just through music, unlike most musicians today. Yeah, that would be terrible.
Yeah, it'd be funny if it wasn't true. The ONE TIME my system has ever been compromised, it was through the !@(*#& SSH daemon. (Not this exploit; a previous one.)

Because the correct spelling of the intended word is "important", with an 'a'. (As it appears above, it looked more like "impotent".) But it freaked me out to realize that I could read the rest of that almost transparently. I think context is crucial, though -- it's easier to read those "words" as part of a sentence than it would be if they stood alone.
I guess it shouldn't be so surprising: I can't count the number of times I've read past a typo without even realizing it on first reading (or second, or third). That's what makes proofreading such a bitch. Maybe I should consider a spell checker, at that...
I wondered if they were connected with the nearby American Visionary Art Museum, which mostly collects work by crazy people.;-) IIRC, they were in front of the Shane's across from the Omni (home of Balticon).
Americans (for example) have also contributed to the cost of some BBC productions, via licensing for broadcast on PBS, shared productions with various networks, and purchase of VHS/DVD copies. Not that we aren't grateful for what your TV licenses have bought us.
I wonder what impact this will have on PBS, which gets so much of its programming from the BBC.
De-ionized water gets re-ionized real quick in that environment. You can't use that. But there are some other liquids that work. Ultimately, though, you have to cool the liquid itself; while it conducts heat more efficiently than air, it can't keep absorbing it.

Who cares what THEY would prefer? I bought it, it's my box, I'll do what I like with it. (And yes, I have a hacked Series 2 DirecTivo.)

Seems rather complicated. Why not port the REXX script to the Linux box? There are some free REXX interpreters available for Linux.
That must've been an Atari ST or later, then -- you got lucky. The Atari 800, by contrast, long predates the IBM PC and uses nothing like FAT.
AFAIK, the Atari ST was the only non-x86 system to adopt FAT as its standard filesystem.

No capitalization and a missing article, both in the first sentence. Am I the only one for whom that spoils the illusion?
