  1. Good thing I own a TiVo S3 on Vista Media Center Plus CableCard Equals No TV · · Score: 1

    Glad I didn't waste my time and money buying a paperweight (ie. Microsoft Media Center) since I enjoy watching HD/digital cable with my TiVo S3 via 2 totally functional CableCards (functional from the moment they were installed 7 months ago, no glitches, no BSOD's, no viruses, no spyware, no worms). Heck, my S3 has Linux inside so you know it's going to rock. With TiVo's current $200 rebate you can own one too-- and you really should.

  2. Get an Oppo instead! on Toshiba HD-DVD Player Planned to Enforce HDMI · · Score: 1
    The Oppo's DVI output looks amazing on my DLP TV.

    http://www.oppodigital.com/opdv971h.html

    I read endless reviews of DVI/HDMI output DVD players and the only one that rated higher than the Oppo was the high end (aka the ridiculously expensive aka costs more than most cars) Denon player.

    Best of all, Oppo provides great customer support. I've emailed them several times and have always received a response the same day. Before I bought it, I also emailed a question to Samsung and received a response 4 days later (which didn't even answer my question but rather instructed me to call them).

  3. Re:Seems pretty expensive on Linux HiFi: The Sonos Digital Music System · · Score: 1
    Or you can purchase a Squeezebox2 from http://www.slimdevices.com/ for about $250 which should satisfy most needs. I own their predecessor SliMP3 device which rocks. It's a little clunky looking, but the Squeezebox2 looks much sleeker and would feel right at home next to your $20,000 plasma TV, you rockstar you.

    Best of all, their SlimServer software is open source (although, unfortunately, it's written in Perl, but atleast it's open source).

    Rock on!

  4. You should use disposable email addresses... on Sites Leaking Users' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    ... such as the ones provided by Mailzilla.com http://www.mailzilla.com/. You should never give out your true email address to any online site because they could resell it w/o your consent. They could also be hacked, so your email address could be stolen.

  5. Re:Uh, for simple databases maybe on Manual migration from MS SQL Server to MySQL · · Score: 1

    If you got lots of stored procedures (Transact SQL or whatever MS SQL uses these days) then you're in for a world of hurt. Not necessarily. I've successfully migrated 1200+ MS SQL stored procedures to raw SQL with a single custom script. Theoretically, I could then port the generated raw SQL to MySQL as plain SQL (rather than stored procs).
