That's a great point. In fact, as a DirecTV subscriber, I know that Tivo isn't even going to be around much longer for DirecTV. They have their own DVR out now and aren't going to be licensing the Tivo software anymore. I hope the interface is as good as Tivo's.
Well Tivo does have the option for Tivo2Go which allows you to hook up your standalone Tivo to your network and transfer via software. Unfortunately you need a Tivo Pro subscription which runs $15 a month and there is that little thing called a Broadcast Flag that has been causing controversy.
Actually I own the Pioneer XM2Go receiver. The recording quality is fair at best. RIAA just does not make sense at all. Why bother suing people for recording quality that is not CD? It's SO obvious they are just clutching at straws now as a last ditch effort. They are messing with the wrong people too.. I own 1000+ CD's.
How did an article about Bush's appointee being a lawyer for MS turn into a Religeous bash on Bush? Not that agree with everything he does but its hilarious to see how everything turns into a Bush bash.
Yup, Florida has a Use Tax. I wonder how many people pay that! With a Use Tax, you are supposed to pay tax to Florida for anything you purchase from another state.
" Did you read the interview?..."
Exactly! I've been reading interviews and articles in eWeek about this as well. They are still in the brainstorming phase. The guys have said this is the most agonizing decision they've ever had to make because they know this GPL will affect Open Source everywhere. This WILL be well thought out when they are done I am SURE of that.
You're also forgetting Wireless MP3 players. Those are for use with home stereo systems. I have over 1000+ CD's and I don't even have room for the damn things anymore. I am slowly converting them over to mp3 so I can listen to them with a wireless station. I think I have a right to do that!
I am not a subscriber to Global Warming either but doesn't it make sense to at LEAST curb the things that could be causing it? Just because Global warming may NOT be true doesn't give us the license to be reckless with the environment.

Isn't Microsoft in talks to purchase AOL? I think they know what they are doing. I think it really pits them head to head against Google.

Yes, but this stems from Microsoft's Active X crap and AJAX. If MS didn't use ActiveX for things like this it wouldn't so bad!
That's like saying people who view and pay for online porn are more likely to masturbate.. oh wait..

I don't know if I'd want to mess with Mother Nature. We pissed her off before.
All with artificial flavoring
for example, that a number of double-blind studies of the effects of pornography You're not kidding!
CLASSIC!
Will glamorizing science in the movies make kids pay better attention in chemistry class?"
Don't we do that now? Isn't it called "The Sci-Fi Channel?"
I am confused, doesn't a combination of MAC address filtering, WPA security, and not broadcasting your SSID virtually eliminate hacks?
