Well I have a fetus (3 months, 6 days, 14 hours so far) growing in my wifes uterus... and it can pause, rewind, fast-forward and even add to favorites with my TiVo. So your 4 year old can SUCK IT!
All kidding aside, my 4 year old can operate our TiVo scarily well, although she also seems to have no problems operating my DasKeyboard that's connected to my computer either (no letters on keys). So maybe TiVo operation aint sayin much!

could you re-post your comment, but incorporate more techie buzzwords into that?? I was low for the day, but your post has just about pushed me to my quota.
So Symantec just bought the latest gov. issue robot that can see through walls, has a "mysterious" force field, nuclear capabilities, and the mission to destroy all infidels!!
I don't even care what series Tivo I have, I just know I have one. I simply know that I own a small cable splitter. From the wall the cable goes into the splitter. From the splitter, 2 cables come out. 1 goes into my tivo box, the other goes into my television directly.
With this vastly complicated system (not to mention expensive, I paid almost $3 for that splitter) I am able to record all my regularly scheduled programs, while letting my daughter watch Dora the Explorer live on TV. Granted, she has no Tivo features while watching live TV from the cable running directly (which pisses her off because she sure loves pausing to get some cereal, and coming back and fastforwarding commercials) but she gets to watch what she wants, and I get to record what I want.
Without the splitter, the best you can do as far as I can tell is watch a previously recorded show while Tivo records whatever is on now.
I have very little firsthand experience, and so I'm very interested in this "ass" storage system you speak of... what is this and will it fit all my mp3s and digital photos?
Do I need a special cable to "pull" from it as you say?
You sir, are a sucker. I have found a way to beat the dreaded AJAX Google Maps insecurities. Simply put, I have a new house built every couple of years. My current house will be done in a week or so, and according to Google Maps (evil AJAX house bombing helper) my new cul-de-sac does not even exist. It's just a lot of trees... now who would bomb trees?
Please please please, buy a new house, or next time the Google Spyplane comes to take pictures, teepee your neighborhood with Tinfoil, I'm sure your neighbors will understand once you explain it to them.
unworkable ideas developed by some guy in a suit in NY or CA whose idea of field visits involve brave runs down to the mall
Now this is just rude you insensitive clod... I used to live in CA, and never once while I was developing my unworkable ideas was I ever wearing a suit. It's sandals and shorts baby, every day... every day.
Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart!
I saw that! Brick killed a guy! Did you throw an apple?
Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with an apple!
Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself an abandoned building or ailing company close by. Lay low for a while, possibly at the Microsoft headquarters.. because you're probably wanted for murder.
FTFA - Think of being able to set up a secure network in 3-1/2 minutes after you have plugged in the hardware.
Think of putting that network up for a hacking challenge on the web and having it totally violated in even less time than it took you to setup... Phew!! Good thing Intel isnt inside an Apple... ohhh shit. [ducks]
So now when we're blinding pilots with our ground-based lasers, the passengers can read my annoying cellphone text messages while plummeting to the earth...
Yet another way I'm sure I will come to hate cellphones...
FTFA - Microsoft will also issue one non-security, high-priority update to Windows, and will update the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to, at the least, account for the parasitic Kama Sutra/MyWife/Nyxem worm that caused a stir last week.
Ohhhh man... it figures.. right when I had my spyware pickup line down to a science...
Example:
Me: Well maam, I can fix the problem.
Hot Housewife: Great! Whats it going to take?
Me: Well I've been reading some websites on good ways to deal with myWife.
Hot Housewife: mmmmHmmmm
Me: ANd then we'll look and see if I can find my article on Kama Sutra, and get to work.
Hot Housewife: Screw the article.. why don't you just start checking out my ports now!
Please delay this patch for a couple more weeks, until my viagra laden penis enlargment pills and kingly inheritance arrive from my new friends in Nigeria, thus negating my need for cheesy spyware pickup line attempts.
For those, like me, not immediately aware of what virtualization actually is, heres Wikipedia with some more detail!!
In computing, virtualization is the process of presenting a logical grouping or subset of computing resources so that they can be accessed in ways that give benefits over the original configuration. This new virtual view of the resources is not restricted by the implementation, geographic location or the physical configuration of underlying resources. Commonly virtualized resources include computing power and data storage.
A good example of virtualization is modern symmetric multiprocessing computer architectures that contain more than one CPU. Operating systems are usually configured in such a way that the multiple CPUs can be presented as a single processing unit. Thus software applications can be written for a single logical (virtual) processing unit, which is much simpler than having to work with a large number of different processor configurations.
A new trend in virtualization is the concept of a virtualization engine which gives an overall holistic view of the entire network infrastructure.
Virtualization is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of resources across many aspects of computing. Some common applications of virtualization are listed below.
A virtual machine is an environment which appears to a "guest" operating system as hardware, but is simulated in a contained software environment by the host system. The simulation must be robust enough for hardware drivers in the guest system to work. With paravirtualization, the virtual machine does not simulate hardware but instead offers a special API.
Operating System-level Virtualization is virtualizing a physical server at the operating system level, enabling multiple isolated and secure virtualized servers on a single physical server.
Partitioning is the splitting of a single, usually large, resource (such as disk space or network bandwidth) into a number of smaller, more easily utilized resources of the same type. This is sometimes also called "zoning," especially in storage networks.
Aggregation, spanning, or concatenation all combine multiple resources into larger resources or resource pools. For example, symmetric multiprocessing combines many processors; RAID and volume managers combine many disks into one large logical disk; RAIN and network equipment uses multiple links combined to work as though they offered a single, higher-bandwidth link. At a meta-level, computer clusters do all of this.
Taco: Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the new gray sections with the same curvature that the green sections have? This way, they look exactly like a main page story, except missing the body (header only).
The current solution really does make it look like a footer, but if flipped over to mimic the green headers, it would look like yet another story, but a different color and smaller... which intuitively would make more sense. I spent about 2 hours this morning looking at this trying to figure out how you guys were relating the "child" stories to the "main" stories.
"The predictive logic in our software acts like neurons in our body, parking (the elevators) at certain floors, knowing where the demand might be at certain times."
Hmmm, I smell an upgrade coming.. incorporate fingerprint scanning software into the touchpad.. and send an elevator car full of convicted felons crashing to the earth...
I wasn't complaining about getting rejected, I understand my odds. I was simply showing my list in an effor to backup my previous post - "wouldnt it be nice to see other peoples submissions"
Just as an afterthought, heres my story submission list for the last few months.... see how nice it is to see other peoples stories that they tried to get in?? And this isn't even interactive... and it's only 1 person.. imagine the power if this was the collective/. communities postings:

I agree with another user further down the thread, and wanted to expand on his thoughts.
I think an area of/. devoted to Story Submission statistics would be a fantastic feature. List how many stories a user has submitted on their profile page, list how many were accepted/rejected and/or a %.
List story subject lines of the last 1000 submitted stories, group them by relevance.
Allow searchable submitted stories in the last X number of hours so I don't waste time typing out a beautifully crafted story description and well researched links, only to see all my hard work get rejected when a similar story is accepted and published before mine is ever read.
Create a filter on submission that detects key phrases in my story, and shows me other submitted stories that are pending/denied/approved that may be related, so that I can search through them before submitting mine, or even rate pending or denied stories such that they may become approved by the user base.
create a/. staging area, where us, the real users, can rate stories, and let us decide what makes it to the front page... The the RPs and BBs of the world will only show up when their linkback page is actually relevent and useful...
