DVD Recorder, you say. Pioneer makes a TiVo with a DVD burner attached. Additionally, on ANY TiVO when you pick a show, and go into it's menu, it does have an option to "Save to VCR." I suppose you could use some other kind of video recording device too.
You're right about being weary of the monthly fee--but in my oppinion it's worth it. With that fee, you get guide data far out in the future. You can plan what your TiVo will record for you over your vacation, and if you miss anything you can schedule it online (but not if you have DirecTivo, because they're not allowing HMO onto those boxes).
Most TiVos only have one tuner, and it sounds like a huge limitation. It's not. Most shows are shown again within the same week. If you use Season Passes (the best feature of TiVo), it'll handle the conflicts for you.
As for your Digital Cable delimas, you need one cable box per tuner. TiVo can change the channel on it by IR or some by a serial port. The more elegant solution to this is a CableCard TiVo; unfortunately, there isn't one in existance yet, but there is chatter that it's coming.
TiVo has a 30 day money back gaurentee.. try it. Anyone with a TiVo will tell you that once you get it for the 30 days, you wont know how to live without it.
Series2 doesn't have a built-in Ethernet port. It has two USB ports that you can install one in (wired or wireless). Here is a list of adapters that are supported by TiVo.
I have to agree that the test seemed easy. I took the AB test, and it was kind of anticlimatic to be doing all these hard review problems, and end up taking that test.
For future reverence, I used the Barrons review book. I really liked it, even though the material was definately harder than the test itself. Best be over prepared?
For the first time I worked as an election official in the primary in Wisconsin. It was amusing to see how many people couldn't correctly fill out the ballot (overvotes, mostly). Everytime there was an error in someones ballot the tabulator makes a weird ring and prints out what the error was (but not who they voted for) and the person manning the tabulator always said "looks like there is a little problem with your ballot".. after my 8 hour shift, I think there was a big problem.
A lot of people just don't realize how exact an election must be. So many people just show up at a polling place and assume they'll be able to vote. By the end of the night, it got to be tiring to tell people that they're at the wrong place or that they need to provide identification in order to vote. Ya'll try dealing with a crying ditzy 18 year old girl.
I can see what she says when she says the menu is cluttered. Why is there a "Utilities", "System", and "Settings" menu? That seems like somthing that really should be together. KDE also ships with a myriad of programs--it'd be nice to see most of them not installed by default. For instance, I'm on a broadband connection, and dont have a dialup modem, so what use is kPPP?
I don't have Konqueror, so I couldn't comment on the context menus, but wouldn't having "Save as zip" under a save as dialog and "Use in Cervicia" under export be a better solution?
To me KDE has always seemed a bit more cluttered, and Gnome more minimialistic. If the overall feeling of KDE wasn't so busy, I think I'd like it more because I like shiny things as much as the next guy.

Use Season Passes. They're prioritized in order that they'd be recorded, in the case of a conflict.

And they're so embarrased that they want to keep their love of Whitney Houston anonymous?
I think you're confusing "Fox" with "Fox News Channel".
"Fox" = the home of the ultra intelligent shows like Cops and the "Amazing Police Chases 23" type series.
"Fox News" = the 24/7 "news" channel. (I put that in quotes because most of their news seems to be more oppinion).

Just remember, every time you run an insecure network, you run terrorism.

I'm a Gnome user--so I might be a bit biased.
