What gets me is if I obtain the original video legally then why do 
they care what I do with it in my own home? /rhetorical  Just 
because I have rape tools doesn't make me a rapist no more than woman 
has to be a prostitute. These guys are treating all of us like we're 
criminals when we haven't even been accused never mind charged with 
anything. This whole deal with the RIAA  the MPAA ticks me off  
it's because of their attitudes that many do all that they can to 
turn the tables on them. /rant

Makes me glad that I have the MyHD MDP-120 card  the broadcast flag 
was rejected [at least for now].  I know several peeps that bought 
extra MyHD cards when they feared the broadcast flag was going into effect.

Re: [H] Any MythTV users out there?

2006-01-22 Thread Brian Weeden
The only reason that I haven't gone that route is because I am a
satellite user and there isn't a decoder card for PCs yet.  Howver, at
CES DirectTV announced a deal with Microsoft that would result in a
MCE box that would PVR satellite using the same technology as
CableCard for cable.

Sounds great, but I am not putting down 1 cent until I see the DRM. 
And I know its gonna be bad :(

[H] Disk tools?

2006-01-22 Thread Brian Weeden
What's everyone using for disk tools these days?  I am still using OO
Defrag 2000.  I am looking for something with the functionality of the
old Norton products (speed disk, error check, etc) without all the
current Norton crap.

RE: [H] Disk tools?

2006-01-22 Thread Chris Reeves
I use OO and like it; but I've become a big fan of Acronis stuff
(http://www.acronis.com/)  Good products for what they do.  They've got some
new stuff coming this summer, that without breaking NDA I can tell you is
pretty freaking slick.

(kill.exe) renamed it as a test, and the software bombs on statup, saying it can't find 
kill.exe  I've checked the PIF that links to it, no go.

Scanned with Norton, TrendMicro, AntiVir, AVG  McAfee.  Scanned with Spybot 
SD, Ad-Aware, Microsoft Anti-Spyware.

Nothing removed anywhere.  Scanned from within the PC at boot  from Bart.

I'm running out of plausible ideas for anything ;)

Anyone got something I may be missing?

Yeah, they are.  I'm going to try something really goofy tomorrow.. install
VPC to see if a VPC PC on this box can access out; if it can, then I know
that it's something with the Windows on that PC...
