If you go out and buy that WUSB11, be careful to check for the version - v3.0 and lower are supported, v4.0 is NOT (check out All Wireless Network Adapters on the TiVo support site). The version number is in small print on the side of the box, right under the UPC (may be elsewhere on other versions, but it is on there).
As far as I know there are no version limitations on the WUSB12, which is a little bit more expensive but a much nicer unit to plug into your TiVo.

I think the biggest factor that you leave out is that for the $400-500 (depending on whether you get the increased HD or not), the TiVo works out of the box, while you'd still have to install, configure and maintain/update MythTV and the OS on the box you just built.
Some people may want to do it, but just won't be able. And for others the TiVo might be a step towards MythTV or other DVR's. I don't think you can beat the 'appliance' factor that TiVo introduces.
And this was before the show started to suck big time.
I was thinking of the exact same episode as soon as I saw the article. Didn't Alex get some of the paint on his hand after he read all the precautions on the can? Plus considering the amount of paint needed to cover your entire house with that goo, it was pretty pricy for a barely working product.

Who says the vandal is a Linux user - and even if
he is, why should that affect the 'image' of Linux users?
What even makes you think the vandal is a he, you insensitive clod?:)
Hey that sounds like the experience I had one time:
After doing some maintenance on my aging Renault 5 I was driving to work. Coming off the interstate, the throttle somehow got stuck. Luckily a couple of wobbles with the gas peddle and a bump resolved the problem. After I pulled over, and inspected the engine, it turned out that after working on the carburator, I apparently hadn't tightened the bolts with which the air filter housing was attached to the carburator, and one of the bolts had lodged itself into the valve. Never found that bolt again...
KING ARNULF: Stay calm! This is NOT happening.
Now, I know what some of you must be thinking... the day has come.... we're all going down, etc. etc. But let's get away from the fantasy and look at the FACTS.
FACT ONE - The threat of total destruction has kept the peace for one thousand years.
FACT TWO - The chances of it failing now are therefore one in three hundred and sixty-five thousand.
FACT THREE - Our safety regulations are the most rigorous in the world. We are all nice to each other, we never rub each other up the wrong way or contradict each other, do we?
CROWD No.
CITIZEN We... er... do seem to be going down quite fast, Your Majesty - not trying to contradict you, course.
KING ARNULF No, of course you're not, citizen. But let's stick to the facts. There has NEVER been a safer, more certain way of keeping the peace. So whatever's happening, you can rest assured, Hy-Brasil is NOT sinking. Repeat, NOT sinking.
Thank you Terry Jones. The insight in SCO's claims that you provided in 1989 proves to be eerily accurate, 15 years later.
The Middle-Earth Online team at Vivendi Universal Games and Turbine Entertainment recently evaluated the development progress of the game and made the tough but correct decision to delay its release. The extra time in development will be used to add more content, more lore and more nuanced touches to the world, as well as enable us to extend the beta-testing period. At this time, the expected release date for the game is 2005.
We also decided recently to focus on getting content into the game rather than spend time creating a specialized version for this year's E3, so Middle-Earth Online will not be demonstrated on the show floor.
If you have any questions, please post them here and we will answer what we can.
Thank you for being a part of the development process and giving us your opinions and feedback.
This was posted August 21st. Sorry, no Middel-Earth Online this year....
Even stuff like climactic moments in reality shows are pre-recorded: if the producers don't want people to see a certain episode before a certain day/time, it could be:
Sent to the "DVR" at the release time
Sent to the "DVR" BEFORE the release time, with a special tag not to make it available before a certain day/time
We got our DVR a couple of weeks ago, and we hardly watch live TV anymore. The subscription model could really work, because that's basically what we do now: get a couple of season passes, a couple of favorite listings, and stuff gets recorded for us to watch at our convenience. I'm really curious where this model will be a couple of years from now...
Were they compressed, stored, transmitted and then decompressed? And were they audioand/or video files? Looks like this is what's needed.
So you need to see if the first ever digtially transmitted compressed audio or video file predates this patent.
I suspect it does. There must have been countless zipped audio samples on bulletin boards by 1992.
There sure was. Remember the Commodore 64? There were tons of "demo's" out for them, doing stuff with a C64 it was never intented for (try and get that picture out of your head). Most of them sported soundtracks, and definately had something aking to video.
Unless my memory is failing me, that was in the mid-80's. And one of the main distribution media for those files were BBS's... Can Mr. Rogers say 'prior art'?
On the same site there is a warning however that AVSearch.exe doesn't play nice on newer machines (i.e. newer versions of Windows - Windows XP bombs during installation with an out-of-diskspace message). Apparently AVSearch 97 relied on the way Windows 95 and 98 set up their file system, and with XP it plain doesn't work...

It hurts me to say it, but we really need to be able to moderate a post at -1, Did Not Get The Joke.....

and let Bill figure out how to do that in edlin.
Why do I get the feeling the SCO group already has them hired....?
As are these...

That's the only logical explanation. Now, why Eddie is in the space-time continuum, that's not really clear...
Who cares about the uniform, where can I buy a gate???

As for the current state of the glasses, I agree completely. Apparently they also de-activated the overly-active Babelfish...
Did you use "Fill with Color"? That would explain...
