You can enable 30 second skip on all models they have ever sold.
Which used to be standard, and now they hide against the day it can be removed altogether.
If your Tivo is out of disk space it will remove the oldest recording that it is allowed to delete and reuse that space.
You got me there. I meant to refer to the "feature" where TiVo will now refuse to record some programs at all if it sees the proper "flag" in the broadcast stream. My DVR still records everything I ask of it without question.
Cox were to offer digital cable service with a TiVo branded DVR for about the same price as you are currently paying for satellite service each month, how likely would you be to switch from satellite TV to Cox cable that featured this TiVo branded DVR service?
What is the incentive besides the TiVo name? I don't see it. It's a deal that's no real deal. Is this a real Slashdot question, or a marketing survey for Cox?
My switch point would be (and I don't live in a Cox area, but do receive satellite w/DVR right now) would be all the selected channels I currently want to receive, bundled DVR, all at a savings of $9.95 over my current service.
Besides, isn't TiVo the brand that removed 30-second forward skip, forces you to watch commercials, and auto-deletes programs?
Better make that a $19.95 savings over satellite to interest me.
Sure would be nice to just have a name that gives a chip's relative performance in terms of a single number, which could then be compared to other chips when making buying decisions.
Doesn't Scientology maintain that the Universe is far older than 14 billion years? Hate to have to think of Tom Cruise telling me now, "See, not only was I right about drugs, but I told you so about the age of the Universe as well."

Now, e-mail users, marketers and mailing list operators are more worried that spam filters are blocking out too many wanted messages.
Like I care that these people are upset. Every one of their messages that gets through to me that I've never asked for upsets me, so what goes around, comes around. That fact that they're squawking in pain now is music to my ears.
Faster" and "quicker" mean exactly the same thing, as far as I know.
Then you don't know cars.
Faster refers to how fast a car can travel. Its top-end speed. A Ferrari is a very fast car, with models able to top 200mph. There's no indication that the electric has that kind of top-end, and in fact gearing it for drag racing likely precludes high speeds as well.
Quicker refers to a car's acceleration. How quickly can it do 0 to ???, where ??? is the speed that best shows its acceleration in relation to other vehicles. Most motorcycles are quite quick, with drag bikes usually beating all but the most high-powered automobiles due to a motorcycle's superior power/weight ratio.
In short, when referring to a car's performance, Fast and Quick are not interchangeable.

The Internet has been the most democratic invention in human history. Anyone who can get on it has a potential world-wide voice, which is why some countries censor it to heavily. But they can't censor it in secret. So who are these clowns at the UN, and how do we get them thrown out?

Some might call this a loss for OO, since the requirement to switch to it to support OD is now missing. Not completely true.
Now, rather than being locked into either Office and the Doc format, or OO and the OD format, they can run either. This makes it into an issue of costs, convenience, and features -- may the best system win.
He says he knows who's behind it. He would not give a name, but said it was a "top four" spammer, who speaks Russian.
Stop being cute about this and just tell us who. Information in power, and you're only facilitating this person's ability to continue to hide until you unmask him/them.
The expert gang suspected of stealing two of David Beckham's BMW X5 SUVs in the last six months did so by using software programs on a laptop to wirelessly break into the car's computer, open the doors, and start the engine.
I hope Mr. Beckham doesn't protect his wife Victoria (Posh Spice) Beckam from being stolen and having her engine started the same way.
On second thought I have a laptop, so maybe I hope he does protect...
in 1200 of its 3200 stores, with plans to do so in at least 1400 by the end of the year.
I hope the guy programming the cash registers at Wal-Mart isn't the same guy as the one who did the math above. If he is, profits at Wal-Mart should be way up and I'm heading out to buy their stock.
Reminds me of a story of a store in Escondido, Calif. called Rube Nelson's Fabulous Country Corner. Boy was it a rip-off. Off-brands you've never heard of. And then there was The Broom.
By the checkout counter was a broom. For those few people who actually looked at their old fashioned (non-barcoded, non-itemized) cash register receipt and noticed an extra charge on it, they'd be told "That's for the broom". Only if they protested that it wasn't their broom would the charge be taken off. You can imagine that the number of protesters wasn't very high. The Broom, of course, remained exactly where it was waiting for the next customer to come through.

So 25% of doctors are AOL users. Now I'm really afraid to go in for my next checkup.
So, likely, does every other spammer as well.
I don't know how. Len('Sensible') > 4.

That gives you 5 shots at trying to figure out how to record it for yourself.
The flaw may have been corrected in the source tree, but that says nothing for the tens of millions of X11 systems out in the field yet.
More nudity.
You just can't win in this game, it seems.

There's your answer.
