You're a windows user right? How 'bout you solve your own problems? Too scary? Well I guess you are smart enough to call for help, that will have to do.
It's not a problem for this old guy as I just love beating things into shape, hardware - software included. I don't enter your market in any meaningful way, but just from observation I'd guess most over 50s are smarter than you... no offence.

MythTV, is that all you can find to play a DVD? Ogle, xine and mplayer play em' just fine. No nice menu in mplayer but I use it from mc, the file manager of kings;). For the insanely lazy, just play the vobs.

I am not one of those people. I don't use windose, except to flash my burners. The present horde of newbies trying to get this running does produce a lot of whining. As a dedicated 0 karma person I don't care at all how difficult it may be to those who do not love user-hostile OSs.
It works very well with tack sharpness and gorgeous color, makes software look bad. I convert my favorite stuff to mpeg2 to use it.
Mpeg4 will be along with H.264 as AAC in a future driver release. We wait for Nvidia it's true but what they have works very well.
Yes indeed... but not by the locals whose land was largly stolen from them. Certainly there was a sizable Jewish presense in Palestine at the time but the religious state that ensued wanted Israel for the Jews. Zionist terrorists persuded the locals to leave.
And we all lived unhappily ever after.

"letting the largest oil reserves in the world end up in the hands of a bunch of religious fanatics?"
Hmmm... well it is their land actually. Israel was imposed in 1948 mainly so Britain and The US did not have to take in all those refugees from the German nastiness.
I think they did the towers just because of reasoning like this.

Yup good old Britain, my birthplace will prolly beat the yanks to full a full authoritarian state. Not by much I imagine. The bottom line is that these states think the country is far more importent than any citizen. With the amount of corporate influence in government these days it is not at all out of the definition to call them budding fascist states.
Wonderful.

Intel architecture does not scale very well. If you need really 16G RAM consider Opterons as they handle memory quite a bit better.

One of the reasons I prefer slak is BSD init. A far superior init scheme. Much easier to script for one thing.

Just use slak, the perfect server AND desktop distribution.
