  1. False on Oracle Patch Day Becoming Irrelevant · · Score: 0

    Oracle critical patches announced in the April 2006 CPU are still not available for download and the ETA is now set for May 15
    I downloaded the CPUAPR06 from metalink 2 weeks ago. The other 7 DBAs in my company also downloaded it too. But I will admit, one DBA said it failed on his test database, so the QA issue is true.

    I agree, this is Geek which I find pretty cool, hehe. But most of the general public have other priorities than to mess with a this. My non-Geek friends see the computer and DVR nothing more than an appliance that one can purchase, having a warranty, support, all that warm-fuzzy stuff etc...

  7. Tivo Saves me Money on TiVo May Be a Buyout Target · · Score: 0

    How?
    1) No more buying DVDs for my children. I have a folders of kids shows like Sesame Street, The Wiggles, etc , each with about 5-6 episodes a piece. Lots of variety.
    2) I stopped renting videos cause I always have something to watch. MythBusters Rule!
    OK, I'm saving some $$ not tons, but still, great device thats helped me.

    My real point. Tivo has a terrible marketing startegy. I could give a rats-ass about pausing live-TV, big freakin deal. They should have advertised its other great features earlier on. I only bought one cause I had a friend with one and saw how good it was.

    I have a series 2 from Sony and I can watch TV while a show is being recorded. Not sure why others can't.

  11. Your doing it Mac-Backwards on Going To Boot Camp · · Score: 0

    So...if I have an old Intel box, and Mac OS now runs on Intel, then I should be able to intall the Mac OS on my Intel box. If it can be done. Why not encourage people to do a dual boot install of Mac OS on their existing Intel boxes instead, thats the challenge I would rather see that than the other way around.
