I'm putting together a MythTV PVR from spare computer equipment. Has anybody done this? I'm basing it on Fedora Core 4. So far I've install FC4, next step create a big-ass JFS partition to store the video (FC4 wouldn't do JFS at install for some reason)

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!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
If I could fix it myself, I sure would. I hate the disposable society we have. I don't want to add more to the landfill.

Does anyone use Vonage?
For me, it seems to work great for calling people with regular phone service, but sucks for calling people with cell phones or with cable phone service. However, I read that it works well in reviews so I wonder if it's vonage or my sucktastic linksys router (+ VoIP) that is the problem.

I just signed up for it. My friend Monique uses it for her business line and had good things to say about it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't know if she uses this thread, but I think msbelle uses it for business frequently.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My miserable Vonage experience is recounted here:

Now we have Time Warner's digital phone, and couldn't be happier.

I never actually use my land line. I really just wanted something where people could leave messages for me and I'd get them via email. So, hopefullly, this will work out. I was paying way too much for a phone I wasn't using.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Current or former Konfabulator users:
I really like this, especially because I've become accustomed to the Dashboard on my work computer. But unlike Dashboard, I can't seem to make Konfab disappear completely--if I min all my windows, it's still there, on the desktop. This is screwing with my head, because I like to see the picture on my desktop; it gives me zen. Is there anyway to make it disappear completely, and only come when I command?

All is well that ends in pizza.

hmmmm.... What's wrong with it again?
heh.

Aw, it's too late. I already mailed it in to Konica and I don't think they're going to mail it back unless I pay (although they haven't commenced working on it yet). Plus it'd need parts. They say "Repair to factory specs, repair zoom lens, replace front cover and LCD."
