Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

All is well that ends in pizza.

A binary compare on a PDF doesn't sound very useful.

But I'm not sure how approachable a comparison of PDFs is anyway, since they're hybrid type docs.

I agree. It might be helpful only as a very basic way to verify if they are the same or altered, but not what has changed.

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

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

I don't think most people realize that when we go to digital TV, networks will have the power to prevent any and all recording (if this legislation goes through). That's right - they wanna plug the analog hole and prevent VCR recordings too....

Our wings are not tired

I cancelled my HBO and my Showtime, don't miss it. If I desire one of their shows I'll just wait and NetFlix the DVDs.

HBO says it doesn't want to allow its programming to be TIVOed

Luckily, HBO repeats its programming like crazy, so you're practically Tivoing just by turning on the television.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I cancelled my HBO and my Showtime, don't miss it.

Yeah, I did the same, and don't miss it either.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

iPod-istas. I need your advice. We have three iPods in our house. We all share a computer that has Windows XP with individual login's for each of us.

Can anyone suggest the best way for us to use iTunes? The girls have been having to go back and forth to see who is logged into iTunes when they want to update and have expressed frustration. Now we are adding my iPod to the mix.

I know from the Tivo forums that I'm not the only one whose Tivo has been cutting off the last few minutes of all network primetime shows this week. I also know that nobody there has figured out what's going on, or what the solution is. Have any clever Buffistas been able to fix this?

It's not Overlap Protection, because if that were the case, it would just be switching channels 5 minutes early -- these are just blank gaps where the Tivo has stopped recording before the end of the show. (And it's not the listings giving out bad info, because the Tivo knows that it's only recorded a partial show.)
