  2. Re:About TiVo - updated this morning on Can TiVo be Saved? · · Score: 1

    Woke up, turned on tv and there's a message from tivo informing me they've added tivo2go. That allows me to copy recorded shows from the tivo too my pc or laptop.

  3. Tag all my remotes! on RFID Not Just for Kids · · Score: 1

    That's the killer app for rfid!

    'what's the wierdest place you've woken up after a night of drinking.. :)'

    one end of a runway at DFW. In a borrowed '67 fairlane. I'd apparently driven through a barrier and an open field off the interstate. 4:50 am, time to go!!! I did have a g-string from some chick at the million dollar saloon. Or the Fair. woohoo!!

  6. on i380 on Geek Roadtrips Through the Heartland · · Score: 3, Informative

    the hawthorne inn in cedar rapids (25 miles north of 80) has wifi access that blocks http but is open to ssh and pop3 last I checked.

  7. The lone sysAdmin on Friendships in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 1

    I'm the lone sysAdmin for 200 lusers in 3 locations. The only thing I want to do with them involving drinks would involve 151 and fire.

  8. Samba the Server on GM ponders Linux for 7,500 Dealers · · Score: 2

    The VB apps are all on win95 clients with data and communications on the server.

    GM's Access project has huge problems on their hands now because it just doesn't work now. They've spent five years rolliing it out and it's still a joke compared to the way the dealers communcated with them before.

  9. Just replace the NT Server on GM ponders Linux for 7,500 Dealers · · Score: 1

    All those VB apps run on a win95 client. The server just has databases and communication. The apps won't even run a NT client.

  10. Re:GM is familiar with Unix based solutions on GM ponders Linux for 7,500 Dealers · · Score: 1

    THose solutions are provided by Bell & Howell and Reynolds & Reynolds. And they work great. GM's inhouse solutions are lousy and slow (windows).

  11. 5year conversion so far on GM ponders Linux for 7,500 Dealers · · Score: 2

    "But a mission-critical application like this really has to work the first time, and there
    can't be any conversion issues. "

    They've been converting from text based applications you could use from any client provided by any vendor to win95 clients for 5 years now and it's still not done. And if the satellite uplink is down at the end of the month when you are required to transmit Info, the backup is fax and voice.

    So it'll take 10 years to turn back.
