Heh, it was quite funny when I went to see the movie with a bunch of geeks who work for a well-known security company. Pretty much the whole theater busted laughing at that scene. It's just weird and cool.:)
In my personal experience with NVIDIA cards from GeForce 2 Pro to GeForce 4 Ti4200 and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AIW (128 MB), I would have to pick NVIDIA cards.
1. Linux support. ATI's driver in Linux = horrible and harder to set up compared to NVIDIA's.
2. In Windows, NVIDIA's drivers and software seems to be less buggy than ATI. I use the All-In-Wonder software (MMC), and it is VERY buggy. Sometimes driver don't work like video out to my TV. I have to reboot to make it work. I know NVIDIA doesn't make TV tuner software and stuff, but the bugs bother me.
Mostly for NEWER/UPCOMING games. Not the current. WoW is fine on my old ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AIW card at 1152x864 resolution and everything cranked up in game's video options. I don't use FSAA.
Although, newer/upcoming games like Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2, etc. are choppy. I had to lower video options. I still need to find somethign to replace my ATI's TV tuner (AIW) and video card. I will be going to NVIDIA.
I currently use ATI MMC with my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AIW and a set of rabbit ear antennae (no cable and satellite). It is a nice software in terms of features (TV-On-Demand, schedule recorders, closed captions recorder (requires ATI's VCR video file format), TV guide (Guide+), etc.), but it can be buggy since it likes to crash and has some issues. This is in Windows XP Pro. SP2 (all updates).
I would like its automated scheduler to be record with TV-On-Demand method so I can go back to the beginning watch while recording is in progress. This was disappointing. MMC doesn't let me do this. I have to do a manual TV-On-Demand for this feature. Also, if the file gets huge for like 2-3 hours, then it gets choppy.
I had looked and tried some programs like Snapstream, SageTV, PowerVCR, WinDVR, ShowShifter, and Video@Home. However, they were limited (e.g., missing CC recorder since I find it useful and I am partially deaf. However, these were a couple years ago. It would had been nice if I could use MythTV but the last time I checked 9800 Pro AIW were not supported.
Since I am upgrading my video card soon for mainly gaming, I am thinking of dumping the video card and getting a separate HDTV tuner card and NVIDIA card (ATI is bad in Linux as well beside its buggy Windows software) since newer games are demanding more graphic power. I am worried about the number of software available compared to ATI's MMC. What do these HDTV cards use for software PVR?

Click here. :)
It was interesting to see no one mentioned a non-registration link. Well, here it is from NYT Link Generator.
Yeah, their hardwares rock. Software = ugh.
Let me know your results. I haven't tried it yet. You can e-mail me (see my links in signature). ;)

grolschie: Have you ever used MediaPortal? I am currently researching it. You can read my forum post.

Thank you in advance for replies.
Faster speed on dial-up even without images and Flash. Blocked ads speed this up. :)
And information that are deleting.
How about reproduce?
See Blue's News about the pictures, ASCII arts, the dumb Internet fad, etc.
I would like to see RIAA sue dolphins that sing part of the songs too. Dolphins recently sang the old Batman song.
Very carefully, duh! :)
Let's say I had to stop/pause early to do something urgent. Would that count as one usage?
Teaser Trailer, but the site is slow. Coral Cache didn't give me the cached version of the trailers and this specific Web page. :(
I suggest an ant head icon!
Ahhh, thanks for the definitions. I did NOT know that. Yikes, maybe I will stop calling myself a geek. :) It sounds like something out of Fear Factor.
Ahh thanks. So, that means I am a chicken head for not getting this joke. DOH!
I still don't get it. :( I have never seen a geek bite a chicken head off like that. And I am a geek.
Chickens? I don't get it with nerd reference.
