  1. Re:Time Machine over a network is broken on Why IT Won't Like Mac OS X Lion Server · · Score: 1

    I'm doing this on a Linux box. I did have it as a smb share, but smb is gone now to.

  2. Time Machine over a network is broken on Why IT Won't Like Mac OS X Lion Server · · Score: 2

    If your using a non time capsule network backup, it's broken. They disabled DHCAST128, and use dhx2 instead.

    There's a plug in called Better Facebook (i"m sure others) that lets you customize what you see. It lets you create filters, so you can filter out *farmville* *tractor*, etc.

  4. Re:Double standards on Apple Store Artist Raided By Secret Service · · Score: 5, Interesting

    No I didn't read the article before posting. +1 slashdot points. The reason it was the secret service was probably due to jurisdiction. I had my house raided by the secret service in 1988 when I was phreaking calling cards. I had a lawyer tell me the reason it was the secret service was because the calling cards put it in their jurisdiction. I can't remember the exact reason, but something along the lines of calling cards are a promise of pay, or some other legal mumbo jumbo.

    Mythtv is easy to build. Benefits? Automatic commercial skipping.

  6. Re:Not in use? on DVRs, Cable Boxes Top List of Home Energy Hogs · · Score: 1

    Mythtv will turn the box off, and set the bios to wake it up when it's time to record. This is extremely efficient.

    I update apps on my 2g all the time from the app store on the phone. I do hit the update button, I don't use iTunes to update (all the time) and I'm on 3.1.3.

  10. Re:How is this better than nothing? on Discovery Heads Into Retirement · · Score: 1

    When you use phrases like whoreporations how do you expect people to take anything you say seriously? If you have a valid argument to make, then make it in a civilized way and don't use childish name calling.

    It's not completely disabled, just semi-disabled. You know, like a squishy brick :P~

  13. Re:Hmm... on TiVo To Brick All Remaining UK PVRs On June 1 · · Score: 1

    From a fellow series one owner (in the us not uk), I recently built a MythTV box and couldn't be happier. The only thing missing is the suggestions, and there is a plug in for that. The HD tuners are nice :)

  14. Re:Brick? on TiVo To Brick All Remaining UK PVRs On June 1 · · Score: 1

    It's not like you disconnect the data cable. A lot of the functionality stops when you stop making your call back. It shuts down your ability to schedule recordings, edit schedules, and a lot of the other functionality as well. I can't remember exactly what it shuts down, my series one hasn't made a call back in close to two years and it's pretty much a brick at this point. I recently built a MythTV box and couldn't be happier that the tivolution has come to an end.

  15. Re:Brick? on TiVo To Brick All Remaining UK PVRs On June 1 · · Score: 1

    I have a series 1 tivo that they bricked. It still powers on, still records, but has reduced functionality. I can't create, edit, or delete recording schedules. I can't look at the guide. I can't really do anything but watch live tv, and let it record the schedules that were programed into it over a year and a half ago. Maybe we need a new phrase like mushy brick? Or maybe a new dvr like MythTV. I did a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier.

  21. Re:its a valid point on Will Android Flavors Spoil the Platform? · · Score: 1

    a few weeks after you buy a 'smartphone' some other model makes yours a POS. well, almost. how can anyone buy in that kind of market and retain sanity?

    How does some other model coming out effect the phone that you have? I have an iPhone 2g, and since it's come out we're up to the iPhone 4. Android has come out since, palm pre, etc. My 2g still does the same things (and more) that it did on the day that it was released. The iPhone 3g did not make my 2g any less functional. Neither did the 3gs, or the 4. My 2g is jailbroken so I get both sms and mms natively, and I pay much less than $100 a month for cell/data/sms/mms service.

    If your waiting for the last smartphone to come out, one that will have all the final features you're going to be waiting a very long time. Still holding off on that 486sx because of the dx? It never ends, technology always progresses forward.
