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.

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.

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

Raisin Bran:
This was posted on the Tivo forums this morning:
I just got off the phone with Tivo tech support as I am having this same issue and missed the ending of 24 and Lost.
Apparently, it is a software issue and Tivo is working on a patch that will be downloaded automatically when your Tivo connects. He says until then, there is nothing we can do about it.
So it looks like we're out of luck until the patch comes through.

maybe I haven't been watching network tv shows. I haven't had any problems so far.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I had no problems with 24 and Lost this week. I wonder why it's only messing up on some TiVos?

I had no problems with 24, but everything since Tuesday has been cut off.
They usually roll out software upgrades in waves -- it may be that only one wave had the bug in it, and so only that segment of Tivo users were affected.

Can anyone help me out with needing more RAM? I'm all confused by the options...
So I have a 12" 1GHz Powerbook that I got in March 2004. It has 256MB of RAM, which is....really not enough.
So I'm wanting to buy more. But I don't quite get what my options are...or why there are so many. I know people here have recommended other world computing but I look at that page and go "Uhhhhh....I don't know which one to get!". I don't understand the difference between them! Ack! Help! (I think I'd be wanting to get the 1gig, but if 512 is enough, would be glad to save, since this damn laptop battery is ALSO needing replacement desperately....)
