Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Don't worry, it's not for sale.

Yet.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, technically, the DirecTiVo's won't split your signal, either. It's just that we pay extra to have another line run from the dish. We do get the functionality you're talking about, but it's not the TiVo that's doing it.

So far as I understand it.

Which is, I know, completely useless to your question, sumi. I dunno the real answer to your question.

Art Crawl!!!

I guess the other part of my question is this:

on the analog side if I pre-program my vcr to record, I can watch something else while it tapes whatever I programmed -- no need to split the signal to do that. I was told when I got digital that this isn't possible.

Is this still likely to be true when we're all digital?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Sumi, I can do that and I have digital. But the second channel has to be via antenna. That's with Tivo, btw, but would be the same with a vcr as far as I can tell. If I actually did split the signal it might work for any channel, I think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Motorola iTunes phone will be announced today. It could be in stores later this week.

Nothing on the Apple site yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, if I'm selling my old computer and I want to really get my documents off it, what do I do? Defrag after deleting? Something else?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's the capacity of the iPhone (both storage and battery), I wonder? I already have to charge each individual device once a day if I use it much.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What's the capacity of the iPhone

The rumors say 256MB and 512MB. The official announcement is in a half hour.
