  1. Re:Why is Microsoft using Apple parts? on Under the Hood of the Xbox 360 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Microsoft went to ATI and IBM in order to "own" the designs for the graphics/processor chips. This way MS is able to get the parts fabbed out without having to get approval from ATI/IBM. (This is from memory of what I've read in the past). The CPU and graphics/bridge design in the XBox are owned and by Intel/Nvidia (respectively). MS had to buy the parts from them, which costs them more in the long run than being able to get their own produced.

    Correct me if I'm wrong...

    I now present to you...

    INTERADIO

    Any use, mis-use, or mangling of the word INTERADIO and all things related to, from and there as is strictly prohibited. Licensing can be purchased, but is subject to any whim I feel like at any time. If Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are aligned on a Friday the 13th of any month your license is null and void. However, a new license may be purchased the following day, but subject to all stipulations previously stated. Failure to purchase said license will result in a severe rectal flogging. The imagery of said punishment is up to the Licensee and will not be delved into detail.

    So Flip, Grip, take a Trip and get down on your knees and pray. If you ask kind enough, I'll keep the hot poker at bay.

    Coming soon: RADIONET!

    Not so hard to isolate the government blackberries from non-government blackberries. Most companies and the government have specific deals with wireless carries like Verizon. Just search ye ole phone database for all your government plans with data service and shut it off. Of course depending where some of the users live they may be getting reimbursed for their personal cell plans so they'll "mistakenly" get shut off. It'll probably end up happening anyways though...

  7. Re:Fight You to Keep My TiVO on Intel and Tivo Partner Up · · Score: 1
    6. I would like to be able to take the things I TiVO and load them on to my laptop. TiVO says that the hold up on this is not them, not technology, but the MPAA. Given that, I doubt you'll be seeing this any time soon from anyone. It would certainly make for a more intersting commute to and from work.


    Can't really tell if you have a stand alone TiVo or not, but if you do what is stopping you from loading this on your laptop? As long as you have Tivo Desktop 2.x, the proper codecs, and you set your media access key, you should be able to watch the shows all on your laptop. Thats what TiVoToGo is for!

    Oh and you shouldn't watch TV while you're driving to work ;)
  8. Re:Nope. on BBC Shuts Down Internal BlackBerry Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    4.0 Service Pack 2 had other issues besides this with the installer. It didn't remove all the services when I attempted the install. The install noticed this claimed to "revert" back and left me with an uninstalled server. Luckily you could just reinstall Service Pack 1 and everything was back to normal. (Easier than a restore.) Still makes you want to do an undie check.

    Each service pack install in the 3.6 server was hilarious. After you had the server up and running for awhile, you would notice tons of warnings/errors in event viewer, but everything worked. Each service pack would reduce these a little each time.

    Don't get me started on handheld weirdness. Having to pull the battery for it to start synching again. Cingular randomly shutting off data service to our users' handhelds... etc *sigh*

  9. Re:That's not MTBF, this is.. on Building a Massive Single Volume Storage Solution? · · Score: 1

    There is a problem when mixing manufacturers and types:

    Different manufacturers actual drive size varies. They can vary through their various product lines and drive generations too. That 160GB drive you just put in, to rebuild your RAID1/RAID5 is too small, sorry try a different disk! Of course you can always replace them using bigger drives to insure this won't be a problem, but of course you'll lose usuable disk space. (This is in a typical ATA/SCSI RAID environment.)
