Even the series 2 machines don't require a landline anymore. 7.2.1 has broadband setup now. Some with older software were still in the pipeline during the holiday season, but many folk got TiVos with the new software on it.
Actually, let me correct myself. You would not achieve a more accurate fix with DGPS nowadays, since selective availability is turned off. Looking at Garmin's catalog, their DGPS receivers are discontinued since Clinton signed the executive order to stop SA. Were it to be turned back on, DGPS would overcome it.
WAAS, on the other hand, attempts to overcome the other slings and arrows of GPS, like atmospheric interference, and is probably more useful.
Actually, your receiver is "DGPS Ready". Were you to buy additional DGPS equipment at additional cost (as mentioned in the parent of this thread), you would achieve a more accurate fix as mentioned in your product manual. This would be useful, for example, if you were making very high-resolution maps for, say, orienteering. There is a description of such activities, with a picture of a guy with just such a setup here:

Which provides even my just-over-US$100 Garmin Foretrex 201 with a pretty good fix. While this is not DGPS, it appears even Garmin is getting ambiguous with its language in this regard. You will note at the bottom of page, they discriminate between WAAS and DGPS, but in the description of WAAS they say, "The corrected differential message is then broadcast through one of two geostationary satellites, or satellites with a fixed position over the equator."
Well, the Mod score on my post may be an example of how perfect the moderation system is... Right now it stands at 20% Insightful, 30% Funny, 30% Overrated, 20% Flamebate.
I'm guessing the person that modded me insightful understands that much of the proprietary equipment in place today requires a specialized phreak to crack and a Linux system is more general purpose, and often easier to misconfigure in a way that jeopardizes security.
Humor is personal and if you didn't find it funny, that's fine.
Overrated -- probably true -- it was a throw-away comment more intended to raise a smile, but we already discussed that.
As for the flamebait -- well, that was unintended, but apparently it worked well that way, too.
All in all, perfectly moderated. And, best of all,I learned a little bit from your post, too. You should talk to somebody about that pent-up rage, though.

Petey: So you'd have to contract PSTN connectivity separately through one of those fly-by-night outfits with household names like Nufone and Gafachi. Sweet.
Marko: Well, yes, but you'd have the advantage of exposing your telephony to the attacks of script kiddies.
Petey: Also sweet. Sign me up.
I would tend to agree. Atheism is not anti-theism. An atheist understands the universe as not requiring God to explain it, putting a scientific standard above a religious one. An agnostic tends to give both views more-or-less equal weight and is looking for evidence to tip the balance.
The performers don't pay Mozart to "cover" his music, but the performances are copyrighted. You have to pay the symphony to play their cover of Mozart.

Why would I want to look at a QVGA image on a 105" inch screen?

So, am I the only one old enough to remember DNA's game Bureaucracy? Apparently, it was inspired by a very similar experience...
You're joking, right? /. is regularly scooped by memepool. Its not a sad day, its a sad existence.

Actually, IBM has developed a Java client for Lotus Workplace, which includes Domino access. Of course, it runs on Linux:

Nope. It doesn't. It supports WAAS. Follow the link in my other post in this thread...

Troll... But a troll with taste. I like Sealab 2021, too. Right now, though, Venture Brothers is my fav Adult Swim show.

Interesting... now Acrobat finds 25 instances. Geesh. Thanks
I looked in the PDF to which you linked. Where does it mention FireWire or 1394? A search turned up nothing...
I get the same thing with my Series 2 TiVo right now. The simply listing is pretty fast, but the grid view fills in like Tetris on level 1...
Just don't look inside.
