I'm an avid FreeBSD user, so I'm curious as to if this works in FreeBSD. Does CodeWeavers have a FreeBSD port, or does this work under Linux emulation? If it does, I'll be purchasing it ASAP!
Okay you need to do a little more research here.
Mono is implementing the.NET Framework, which is the development portion. MS is also porting the Framework to FreeBSD because ECMA requires two reference implementations for the standard. The FreeBSD port will not have ADO.NET, ASP.NET or WinForms support.
People seem to be quick to forget that there's a difference between the.NET Framework (what Mono will be implementing) and the.NET Initiative. The.NET Initiative includes things like Passport.NET, Hailstorm, the servers, etc. The Framework is just a core set of APIs, the CLR, VM, etc.
Microsoft doesn't have to make their VM portable. That's not really their job. If developers on another platform want it, then they'll have to implement it. For example, Java doesn't exist on the Amiga because Sun ported it there.
I don't see how the Framework being implemented on other OSes will be a problem? I see it as more of an advantage than anything else.
BTW, All of the releases of the.NET Framework have been freely downloadable off of MSDN. Keeping up with the changes through the betas wasn't all that difficult. It didn't require any cost except for maybe your time and your 'Net connection.
Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP do not let ANY user do anything. Try installing the Palm Desktop software on an account that does not have local Administrator rights, then tell me that any user can do anything....
OLE embedding of objects does not work in RTF. (charts, Excel spreadsheets, Visio diagrams, etc) That's just one example of the formatting you lose by not using the Word format.
Was this really any different from when people running WordStar couldn't read my WordPerfect 5.0 documents back in the DOS days?
Sony makes a TiVo unit, which carries a subscription fee. You can get out of the monthly subscription fee by buying a lifetime subscription.
With the JVC and Panasonic ReplayTV boxes, you are paying a subscription fee (don't kid yourself into thinking you're not). The difference is, you pay it upfront in the cost of the hardware.
TiVo sells the hardware at a loss and their revenue model relies on subscription fees.
UltimateTV and DirecTiVo have this capability because they do NOT do any MPEG encoding. They just write the raw satellite stream to the hard drive.
The CPU power required for a standalone unit to encode two MPEG streams on the fly is quite cost prohibitive. I seriously doubt we'll see this in a standalone TiVo any time soon (atleast one costing less than, say, $800?)
I believe the point here is not necessarily for getting an Internet connection from the street to your house but to allow older buildings to be wired without ripping them apart.
For example, ask the people who wired the Capitol Records building in Hollywood, CA how difficult that was...
Keep in mind that AT&T Broadband is a mixture of other companies (TCI Cable and MediaOne for example) so it dosn't exactly shock me that they have a mixture of different systems.

Hello, Moron:
If this affects companies with a presence in the city of Seattle, it certainly will affect Microsoft.
The Visio division is based in Seattle, WA.
According to this article this tax is for companies in the city of Seattle, not the entire state of Washington.
The legislation in Olympia is looking into blocking this.
Well, I guess this place figures that since they don't tax our income, they have to tax the hell out of us on everything else.
With TiVo you can pay the $250 lifetime subscription fee and never pay another monthly fee.
ReplayTV does not have a monthly fee because they build the cost of subscription into the MSRP of the unit.

I believe that the Zaurus will ship with AmigaDE applications.

Actually, according to this article:
The gov't received over 30,000 emails, 2,900 were "substantive", 45 were "major", 2,800 were form letters.
"Only about 10 percent had anything substantive to say, officials said, calling the volume unprecedented."

I'm guessing that you're not a developer or code maintainer.
There are probably bugs that have been there since 0.99 but thanks to good triage, they haven't been fixed.
Not every bug is actually a problem that has to be fixed NOW.
We also learned how to properly give up timeslices thanks to DESQview :)

"- Show scheduling via Web page

These features are available through TiVoWeb:

If you're a TiVo hacker, these kinds of mods aren't that difficult to add.
This doesn't in any way say that TiVo will start recording in RealVideo format as opposed to MPEG.
My guess (as a TiVo user) is that this would be an extension of the TiVo Showcase offerings.
