Wrong. Look at it this way. DVDs and CDs are similar. DVDs have a track that is less wide and data storage "pits" that are less long. These two dimentions are described in the standards wit ha max and min size. What the Giga technology does is ise the same track width as CD-R, but makes the "pit" length always at the minimum for a CD-R. This therefore actually increases the physical amount of data available, WITHOUT removing any error correction code.
One of the biggest problems with CD-Rs is that the data layer has to be at the top of the disk. It is very easy to scratch of a bunch of data from the top side. With a DVD, the data layer is embedded inside the disc, to allow for double sided discs. This protects that actual storage layer from damage. All that you have to worry about is optical interference from scatches on the surface. I have lost more CD-Rs from physical damage to the data layer, than from scratches to bottom side of the disc.

The real information for the file should be in the ID3 tag anyway, so who cares if you abbreviate it?
Except for the fact the Sony removed digital upload from miniDisc, which makes it a poor replacement for tape. It would be a great thing to use for recording audio when shooting video, except you have to capture it back to the computer as a 1x analog transfer. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to get 20x digital transfer of the audio, except for Sony's copy protection nonsense.
It is my experience that clueless newbies do not know about groops.google.com, so they will post the same questions in any medium, Usenet or Web Board, regardless of any centralized archive. But your comment about Web Boards not being archived is valid.
Most useful arena for this type of information exchange is a web based forum. Those I use for video editing have a much, much higher signal to noise ratio than newsgroups. The downside is not being able to download messages into a reader. The tradeoff is worth it.
That is a pretty good analog. Best I have heard for wireless. Basically, if they have WEP on, it would be the same as a No Trespassing or Private Road sign at the start of a normal looking road.
I use my IE5 only (sorry) web page to do it. Something I hacked together in a couple minutes when reading The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography by Simon Singh, for solving substitution ciphers.
Actually 1024x768 is as good or better than the resolution that consumer level HDTVs can resolve. Sure, they are scanning all the information for an HDTV broadcast, but the tube can't resolve all of that into a picture as of yet. To actually get full resolution, you need to spend serious money. So a 1024x768 projector will get you very close.
But if you already have a 1024x768 VGA capable LCD projector, this is a really cool option. Now, my only problem would be that I would have to watch TV live again. I haven't done that since November, with the exception of the Shuttle and recent Iraq events. Don't think I'll be spending the big bucks when HD TiVo comes out.
Regardless of how secure your OS is, why help those trying to hack in? Attacks are going to be different for Windows boxes, OSx, Linux, BSD, etc. The more work you have to do to start getting in, the more trail you will leave be and the harder it will be in general to accomplish.
Can't you look at the enhanced and unenhanced and verify that it is the same print? To me, enhancement can be considered part of the collecting, sort of like a filter that may exist in an audio recorder. If new ridges were not drawn, is this truly "doctoring" the print? I agree that it is a slippery slope and the determination has to be the level of enhancement. Can it still be considered a cleaned up version of the original, or did the enhancement add new ridges, etc. to the print?
Nard drive recorders are available without monthly fees to just record like a VCR, but they cost more than a TiVo with lifetime service. No reason not to just get a TiVo with the far superior UI.
The main reason I went with TiVo (before I understood all of the other cool things it does) was because of the limitations of the VCR and tape. I wanted more than 8 shows per week. All VCRs I saw were limited in this capability. I also have to watch all 8 hours of the tape before I can use it again. Not all shows are the same priority, so I don't always want to watch them all before another more important show is on. With a hard disk based recorder (home brew or purchased), this is not an issue. If you want to save it forever, just record to a tape.
I'll take your 1st year Physics and raise it one Electrical Engineering Degree. The sound you hear is Ohm turning over in his grave. Adding resistance doesn't magically create voltage.
And, like as not, our dear author is going to watch some of those commercials, because, since Tivo has no 30 second skip function, he will have to see some of them, even in fast forward, and will stop to watch commercials he is interested in. I do it all the time.
Actually you can turn on 30 second skip. You don't even need backdoors on.
If my memory is correct you press Select Play Select 3 0 Select during playback.
You really do have this, with the two discs. I had that same feeling when I watched the Extended version. I just watched it in two blocks of time. I hope future extended version are also done the same way. Initially I was annoyed at the 2 DVDs for the one film, because I have to change discs. Now I hope the other two are done the same way. Essentially you get a disc per book for a total of 6 near 2 hour movies.

So, do you own a 5000 feet "Access Point" for your 777 network?

I thought females had 5 state logic:
YES - Meaning Yes
NO - Meaning No
YES - Meaning No
NO - Meaning Yes
MAYBE
The only thing you can be sure of is the MAYBE state.

Uhhh, it's a flat rate fee per month, regardless of how many DVD's you get sent.
Um. Yes. So obviously you make more money from someone who you only ship out 3 DVDs to in a month, versus 10.

It will in the next Series 2 software upgrade, which are automatically download to TiVo owners.

Actually there are some points to arguments that offer the idea of the race to the moon helping to reduce the risk of a World War III.

I'm not blocking out prime time, I'm recording the Taken episodes when they air at 1 am. That what the big drives in the TiVo are for... :)
