  1. MyHTPC on Home-Grown TiVo Stories? · · Score: 1

    Or for those stuck on windows, www.myhtpc.net. It's easy fast and works great with all your MSWin(tm) hardware. I use it with an Athlon 800 on Win98SE with an IrMan from evation.com and it runs everything i throw at it just fine. It even has Project64 integrated into it, so i can just use my remote to start my N64 games. Great picture viewing options too, metadata support so you can add info to movies and music, and xmltv support. All without the hassle of a linux setup.

    How come so many people are complaining about having their browser being able to render more pages correctly?

    Haveing an implementation that's crap in IE doesn't mean it has to be in Mozilla.

    Okay let's just say we 'are' going to be nitpicky. ;)

    Indeed it's Juliet, you got me there.

    But considering we are discussing an English writer not an American one: sirname indeed is correct. Surname would be the American version of the word.

    But you are right, most would have gotten the gist. My main gripe is not with this post but moreso with people abusing this Shakespeare quote in general. And considering this topic was about Shakespeare, it seemed relevant.

    I'll just end my boring rant ... ->here-

  5. Re:an Ode on Linux Enhances Shakespeare · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Grrr... This is a very bad ripoff of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette. It should have been: Linus oh Linus. Wherefore art thou linus? The question in Romeo and Juliette is Not the question -where- Romeo is, but -why- his name is Romeo. This being due to the fact that his sirname was that of the archrivals of Juliette's family. 1. Quote good 2. Rip quote 3. .... 4. Profit!!! BUT, it doesn't work if you get the quote wrong.

    Yeah, as if Google hadn't ever discovered a load of completely useless web pages automatically.

  8. Re:mp3 not going away... on MPEG 4, Windows Media 9 At War · · Score: 2, Informative

    Despite the fact that MP3 is an audio-only standard and MPEG4 is a video-only standard, just this: MP3!=MPEG3 doesn't quite cover it all. Because MPEG3 doesn't exist. First there was MPEG1, which is what was used for things like VideoCD. It has several "layers". Layer-1 is the video layer, Layer-2 is an audio layer, and Layer-3 is an compression type for audio-only streams. Normal MPEG1 have only Layer-2 audio. The there was MPEG2 which is what is used for DVD's. Then there was a whole lot of nothing, some designspecs for MPEG2.5 and MPEG3 but nothing specific. And finally MPEG4 (they skipped 2.5 and 3 entirely). So confusing MP3 with the videostandard MPEG3 is a bit weird, since it doesn't exist.

  9. Re:How is there more story? on In-Depth Look At Matrix Previews · · Score: 1

    Go and watch "The Thirteenth Floor" it can give you a nice feeling for what you might expect from a sequel. But i am a bit disappointed in you guys; the whole idea of the matrix was that you could not trust the world around you to be real, so how can you think there is no more after this. Who knows if the world neo has come into is even real...
