And before Trillian AOL was targeting Gaim specifically.. Once AOL realized that Gaim wasn't going to give up, they backed off.. Same with Trillian, they havn't messed with Trillian in months.. I don't see why Trillian is "Nasty". At least it comes with encryption so you can talk to other people using trillian over an encrypted connection. With Gaim you need a seperate plugin, and when I tried it, it didn't work for shit.
They of course need extra equipment to offer the extra channels. Sometimes whole cities or towns need to be upgraded to handle the extra bandwidth needed.
Well, from the way I understand it the way this works is it will change the programming data next time it calls in to sync. So it's only useful if it's something for the next day (since those calls usually happen in the middle of the night). With TiVoWEB the changes happen right away. So if you're at work and you find out something is going to be on at say 4pm, and you get home at 5pm, and you have TiVoWEB installed, you'll get it, but with the replay service you won't.
Of course TiVoWEB is a something you have to hack onto the TiVo, but it's still cool.
What you are paying the cable company for is the service that they provice. That service is the actual cable run on the polls, keeping the signal running over those cables, having the sat dishes and such to get the signal to put over the cable.. NOT the actual programming. With the exception of pay channels, and those don't have commercials
We didn't clock in.. I was there when he came in.. We worked 12hr shifts. 7-7. At 7am the night people (me included) wanted to go home and sleep so we could come in for 7pm that night.. there was no way to clock in, and constant bitching from the night crew saying this guy is late so they could go home (there was no real overlap). So it was either piss him off by telling him that he needs to get his ass in on time (wow, expect the employees to get to work on time, what a concept) or piss off the entire night crew (because of rotation somebody is going to be waiting for him at some point).
Normally I'm all for work performed not hours worked, but in an enviorment like this, you need to be in on time.
The NOC employee I was talking about did not own a car, and was constantly late for over 2 weeks before I actually said something.. And like I said, emergency situations are totally differnt.. The NOC guy was an example, and like I just said, it went on for 2 weeks before I said anything. But not laying somebody off becuase they are a single mother is a stupid reason not to lay them off.. you should base your layoffs on work performance or how long they've been with the company.. not on their homelife..
"another was a single mother in a tough situation"
I'm sorry to say, but when it comes to the work place this doesn't, and shouldn't matter. What matters at work is what the person does at work, and how well they do it.. Employees home life should not be any of management's business.. Sure, if there's a family emergency or something like that and they need a couple days off, somebody dies, gets really sick or whatever, that's understandable. But as far as anything else goes, a manager shouldn't want to hear about it...
When I was a supervisor there was one employee that would constantly come in 5-10mins late every day, I told him he needed to be at work on time (it was a NOC that did 12hr shifts and he would replace the overnight who was just working 12hrs, so it was kinda important). He informed me that he didn't have a car and he had to take a bus and that was the earliest one he could get. I informed him that it was not my problem, he took the job, he knew what time he had to be at work before he took the job. Get to work on time, or you're all done.. Well, he found a way to get to work on time.
You have to do what's best for your business as a whole, and I'm not just talking the bottom line. You need to keep moral up and also productivity. Laying off a huge chunk of employees or chopping thier pay doesn't do anything but help the bottom line, and will eventually hurt that in the long run. But as far as letting a single mother go... not managements problem.
Just do 50% of the work, convice everybody else that got fucked to do the same.. or better yet, walk out, have a strike, refuse to do any work.. If you can get enough people to agree, then they'll have to do something. Of course that something might be to fire you and replace you with people that will do that work for 50% of the pay, but if they do this once, they'll do it again.. perhaps in 3 months they'll cut everybody another 50% because they can get away with it..
No, that's because hotteensluts.com is really registered as Mature Services, Inc. so that you don't see hotteensluts on yor statement.. they do business as hotteensluts.com. Lots of adult places are like that. For example, there's an adult book store around here that D.B.A.s as Forbiden Fruit, L.L.C.
There are sites out there that block outside linking, they figure out that you're being redirected and send you to a nice outside linking not allowed page.
What?! Hotmail requires a passport account, and you can get to that on linux.. Passport is for web authentication and has nothing to do with the OS the user is running.
Well, with exctractstream you can get programs off your TiVo and burn them to CD if you want, and if you want to add more space you can just buy just about any hard drive and run a nice little program to make it work in your TiVo, then you just plug it in. And, in a 5min phone call you can tell TiVo to no watch your view habits, and they'll stop.
Do you have any examples? For a while the backdoor for the 30sec skip (most TiVo users don't even like 30sec skip, they like the fastforward then jump back when you hit play feature better) but that feature was later returned, and it's still a backdoor function. It's not something that TiVo says they have, or is supported.
This brings up an interesting point. There's a lot of people that say "you don't want me to steal this, don't push it into my house" arguments for DirecTV and for listening to cell/cordless phones. Now that anybody can get this, and you're not calling into there servers I bet you'll see a lot more people hacking TiVos to get free listings.
What can't you do with it? They're very open with hacking, the only thing they don't like is when you hack it to steal service, but people have done it. You can put a network card in it, they have video extraction software. Of course without the actual TiVo software it's not that good, but you could re-install a whole new OS on it (LinuxPPC perhaps), you would need to write you own drivers probably, but you could do it.
The TiVo is really just a computer.. Hell, it runs Linux.
Okay, where's my season passes that automatically record programs for me so I don't have to keep entering in times and channel numbers? where's the ability to only record new shows and not repeats, where's my thumbs up/down so it will automatically record shows it thinks I might like?
Wrong, when you get a ReplayTV the cost of the "service" is included in the cost of the Replay (that's why ReplayTVs are more expensive). You also can not get a ReplayTV without the service cost. TiVo's you can get and either pay monthly, or a lifetime subscription cost (and a TiVo with lifetime is about the same as a ReplayTV with the same specs).
With both, you're not paying just for the phone call, but you're paying for your software updates, and your listings.
I think the biggest problem is..

That unlike most consumer goods, like VCRs or portable radios, is that when you don't like them within 30 days you bring them back to the store and get a refund (most of the time). Sure, there's sometimes conditions, like you have to keep the box, but that's reasonable.
Why is this not true for books/cds/software, because they assume that you copied them. This is what needs to change. If I hear a song on the radio that I like, go and buy the CD and the whole rest of the CD sucks, then I should be able to bring it back to the store and get a refund.

They already have.
in NH you don't need insurance.. And why do I need a license to own it? I only need one to drive it or register it..
Paperwork for what? I give you money, you give me car, thank you, bye..
Did I say I fired him... did you miss the line that said "Well, he found a way to get to work on time."

Why can't these fools just do that.

Wow, amazing.
I think that they're still not suppose to talk about the beta product even after it's been released.

There's more to TiVo then just a ditital VCR.
