Might look stupid, but as I'm on the road almost all day between clients, it sure allows me to realize how close the OTHER cell phone users are to crashing their cars...and yes, my i730 is voice-activated, so don't even have to look at it.
I've noticed a discrepency though, between pediatric docs and Family Medicine docs; my son's pediatricians almost always agree with me when I ask whether it is a better idea to let the infection run its course, unless he has an acute sinus/ear infection.
MY various D.O.s and M.D.s I've gone to in the past few years look at me like I'm crazy when I ask if there's another way to combat whatever infection I've gotten (usually sinus or upper respiratory).
Not having to sit through mandatory 'upcoming releases' ( years after they've been released ) is even a more compelling reason for me to have gone the myth route. Yes, everything you mentioned is true, but you neglected to even touch on the negative sides of using a MSoft/Proprietary solution. The flexibility afforded by an open-source platform such as MythTV more than makes up for that ease of use.
Yes, that flexibility comes at a price. Helluva lot of hoops to jump through to get what you want. My biggest complaint is the remote control support. Lirc DOES take a ton of work to work with Myth and the various components. And I still haven't figured out how to make my LED display on my nice Silverstone box even light up.
Hopefully Myth will eventually move out of the hobbyist arena and have at least a simple basic setup that everyone can use easily, and allow a more specialized setup for the rest of us.
Dood, jeez my kneez. While you may have some valid points there, is there something I can do or something I can give you to help you calm down? I'm afraid that you are going to pop that aneurism, and that's just a mess here that I don't want to help clean up.
Wish I had mod points this week....I'd mod you up.
When I voiced this same opinion some time back I got modded into the ground, then spit on.
While I'm Anglo, and can get by en Francais, speak enough Viet and Thai to be able to order food and be pleasant, and am trying to learn Cantonese (my wife hates it when I try to speak Guangdong-wha, says I sound vietnamese:) ) , my wife was born in Canton, China. They then moved to Lima, Peru. The whole family learned spanish to survive. They then moved the kids up here to the USA (so that Shining Path rebels wouldn't kidnap them for ransom) and they all learned English as well.
Even though she speaks fluent Castillian Spanish better than 90% of native south americans, (and grammatically better English than 95% of most Americans), she gets pissed at the other immigrants that refuse to learn English.
Here in Tampa Bay, Florida, it is ridiculous. Hillsborough County had to hire extra spanish-speaking employees for the 911 call center, as well as various other emergency services. So here we are, footing the bill for immigrants to be able to NOT assimilate into our (and by 'our', I mean every 'American', not just us 'whiteys') country.
naw, have no idea who linda bork is. If that was his original wife, supposedly Krystal and her are good friends, or at least friendly. Krystal Kennedy is who he's been living with for the past few years over in Clearwater, FL. she n' I went to Osceola High during the mid eighties.
Freaked my world when I saw Kurt Loder on MTV news one day talk about some shit that had transpired between Krystal and Evel in California.
It only took two times of dropping to one knee in the middle of the grocery aisle, upending my son onto the other knee and a couple of quick whacks on his bottom to curtail whiny outbursts over whatever pretty shiny box with on it that he wanted. Not even hard whacks, it was the embarrassment and shame of having that done in front of strangers that did it. He's 4, and now is able to have a somewhat reasonable conversation about 'why' he can't have something. He might not like it, but he knows we have the final say.
Now, all I have to do is give a little askance look at him and ask him if he needs to be spanked in front of everyone. He'll then try to reason his way into getting it, sometimes I give in, most of the time I win. The next time he see's that particular item in the store, he'll even reiterate the reasons I gave him for not wanting to buy whatever it was, couched in language like "I can't have that because it is full of those plastic oils and high fructose corn syrup? Right Daddy?" Unfortunately, 'high fructose' comes out usually as 'high fucktoes';)
I love the stares from the other parents as they whip through the aisles trying to get out of there before their little one has another meltdown and they overhear these conversations.
I stated that toxoplasmosis _can_ kill a pregnant woman and the foetus. This is a fact, referenced once in the first paragraph. Google your own dang self for further confirmation.
The second paragraph ended with an emoticon denoting a 'sly wink and a smile'. This was to ensure those that didn't have an iota of humour would recognize my intended good-natured barb at cat lovers for what it was. Omigod you'd think it was a jab at emacs users by a vi nazi. (;) )
meh. kitty may go out and come back in, but it is also the only domesticated pet that can KILL a pregnant woman and the unborn faetus just from the fumes coming outta that nasty sand-shitter-urine-catcher next to your toilet.
I've always thought that cat-owners were a bit loony, and one of the citations at the end of the above-linked wikipedia entry seems to support that notion, at least the lower IQ portion of it;)
You, sir, obviously don't have children.
I've bought the friggin' Lion King DVD at least 3 times (before I built a MythTv). At 3 years of age, children don't understand that the shiny round thingy that has their 'Simby' on it isn't unbreakable or can't be scratched.
Huh.
Back in '86-'88 I worked at the Pizza Hut COTS in Largo, Fl. Local Backend was SysV and about 80 terminals. Connected via multiple trunks to dial-up POS running SCO in 3 counties' worth of delivery joints.
After all of a quick 3 minute search of Pilgrim's site and Firefox, I can't find any directions as to how to actually uninstall or remove greasemonkey.
Apparently, this only happens to users of wine that are utilizing FireFox or another browser, with which you have to download a 'helper' program to run inside of the browser.
It looks like if you use IE with it's native ActiveX support that there's no problem with any OS version running over wine.
From the 1st reply to the original wine email:

When I run the validation program on my genuine Win2k system, I get the
message saying a validation code couldn't be found because of technical
difficulties or because I'm running an unsupported operating system.
When using IE and thus the ActiveX control there is no problem and my
Windows is recognized as genuine.
Looks to me the standalone validation program is seriously broken....

Also, BTW, Even if you resell w/markup, sell them the items on one invoice, have the items shipped, a day or two later show up to install them. Bill your time on a separate invoice. (I use Timeslips and Quickbooks in my business for those purposes.) The premise is that they weren't able to install it and subsequently asked for your help.
This way, you're only charging sales and use for the items and don't have to apply tax to your time billed. I never wanted to burded my clients with extra taxes if I could; but I've since learned from our CPA that we get a percentage of the sales tax for ourselves when we submit the sales and use tax return each month if it's on time....Wondered why the FL Dept of Rev was sending me those checks each year:) Everytime they did that it'd fook up my books royally, until my CPA explained what was going on.
As for our rates:
65 p/hr for desktop support (HW/SW/Training)
85 p/hr for Network Administration
125 p/hr for Network Engineering / I.T. Project Management.
When I've gone to Lima, they ask (immigration) the same thing. I don't have a problem with it, and I bet that until there's a real world governing body (wherever it's located and however its composition, and where everyone has a world identity and not just country/regional/cultural) where EVERYONE can be accounted for in one system, this type of passive surveillance will become more the rule than the exception.
Let's face it, when it's as easy as infecting one person with some terminal, infectious disease and sending them along to a few major airports before they drop dead, these types of controls are unfortunately needed. Hopefully just the chance that the sponsoring party could get busted would be enough of a deterrent to keep 90% from attempting it.
Yeah, yeah, let the conservative vitrolic fly, but this is reality, and not the 'can't we all just get along' fantasy that we all wish for. Come up with a better deterrent that works and I'd be even happier.

I concur. I have the Samsung SPH i700 and love two of the three features. The camera just happens to be there, any pictures taken with it were just to amuse my 3 yr old son.
Wonderful phone (VerizonWireless) and PDA functions, SDIO w/256mb, remote wireless sync with Exchange 2003 (or you can use their shitty desktop wireless sync software if you're not running Mobile I.S. on Exchange 2000 or 2003). Good color/brightness, long battery - don't think I've ever run it down, sometimes a good 2 days before it's back in the cradle. Data transfer is FAST.
Not the most secure, but I can hit boxen Termserv'd and get things done in a pinch.
Wish they'd release Mobile 2003 for it already, and they should have done wifi as well, but those are my only gripes.
Now, if only a good linux-based PDA would sync with Groupwise on SUSE running ZenWorks, and I'd jump ship in a heatbeat - Looking into getting this SPH i700 to work with Groupwise on SUSe via Zenworks.

May as well cough up the wiki link again too.

We use it with Asterisk, running two home offices using POTS and Broadvoice VOIP.
Especially home-user quality hardware geared for mass resale e.g. whiteboxes?
