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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
TiVo sells their own wireless adapter...I wonder how much faster it really is.

aren't they a day late and a dollar short?

They're not a dollar short if it's actually significantly faster.
They are definitely hella late, though.

I don't particularly feel like using my brain today, so I'll just ask here...
What would cause a geocities web page to load, then suddenly reload a completely different page at youbettersearch.com? (saying, "Here are some related searches" and a bunch of ad links.)
The offending page (s.b. car stuff): [link]
eta: OK, it's either Java or Javascript that's causing it to go to a new page... but why?

All is well that ends in pizza.
It's a redirect introduced by the adframe.
This [link] is the actual page for the geocities-based website. I turned off my javascript, and found the adframe listed as (http://)Xadfarce.1mgis.com/?adlink|2.1|25|11615|1|1|key=ADFORCE;misc=430347780;loc=300;
Running that URL brings me to the page to which it was redirecting.

Um... shouldn't they not be doing that?
eta: I mean, they're intentionally redirecting all traffic from that webpage to theirs, right?

It is indeed a no-no. If it doesn't specifically say so in the advertizing contract, I'm sure just on general principles it's deeply stupid.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
New virus warning: [link]
Note that you can get infected if you visit a web site that has an image file containing the exploit. Internet Explorer users might automatically get infected. Firefox users can get infected if they decide to run or download the image file.
In our tests (under XP SP2) older versions of Firefox (1.0.4) defaulted to open WMF files with "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", which is vulnerable. Newer versions (1.5) defaulted to open them with Windows Media Player, which is not vulnerable...but then again, Windows Media Player is not able to show WMF files at all so this might be a bug in Firefox. Opera 8.51 defaults to open WMF files with "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" too. However, all versions of Firefox and Opera prompt the user first.
