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!

All is well that ends in pizza.

That is very cheap.

Like $50-$90 cheaper than other sites.

What kind of system do you have?

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

Like $50-$90 cheaper than other sites.

Yeah, which is why I'm suspicious, especially since it's not listed as a promotional/clearance price. I've got a dual 2Ghz PowerMac G5 (not Intel, about a year old). The RAM that came with it is PC3200.

I think I'll play it safe and just order from OWC.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

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

TiVo Desktop (not To Go) is now available for the Mac ,10.3+.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Without TiVo To Go, my lack of caring is remarkably large. Why does TiVo refuse to get that?

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

There are rumours that To Go is in development, and this makes me a little less skeptical.

Unless they're buying me off...

I've been spoiled by Myth. There's nothing that can't be done remotely from another computer and all the video is just regular MPEG.

I've been spoiled by Myth.

Can Myth control a DishNetwork satellite receiver?

You have to buy or build an IR blaster to do the channel changing. I have no first hand experience with doing this however.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

I've periodically had the problem where my computer (Dell XPS Gen 4, just over a year old) wouldn't boot into WinXP but shutting down and rebooting usually does the trick. Within the past few weeks, I've also been getting from time to time a message (next time, I'll have to note the specifics) that the hard drive can't be detected, but rebooting also works.

I don't know the inner workings of a computer too well, so I'm wondering if a connection is loose (I took a quick peek in the case but nothing looked obvious.) or if something's not quite right with the drive. Any ideas?
