'Out Of Gas'
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!
On the other hand, I can get an HD-DVR from my cable company for $9/month, and have one fewer set-top boxes. Suddenly Tivo's extra features aren't looking so compelling.
($200 to transfer a lifetime sub is ridiculous -- that's more than I paid to buy it in the first place!)
Wordpress is generally considered to be a much more stable software platform than either moveable type or blogger. Especially if you are hosting it yourself. Not that you should not make a whole lot of backups of any blog with important info. No blogging software is THAT reliable.

It's about what I paid, and since they don't have them anymore...but it's the hardware cost that gets up my nose.
I only paid $99 for my lifetime sub, but that was yonks ago and it's already on the second Tivo I've owned. I started with an early Series 1 and got the transfer to my Series 2. I figure 7+ years on the sub is pretty good. At $200 I really just need to hit the two year mark before it starts paying for itself again.
Cool. I figure if Time Warner will work with TiVo somebody will figure out how to get it to work with Myth at some point.
I wonder if we can transfer a series 1 lifetime sub to the series 3. The arstechnica article is unclear.
I should have followed the links a little further. Looks like Series 1 boxes do qualify: [link]
This may be tempting.
This looks purty.
I've never been tempted by a Blackberry for myself before--perhaps because I have a love-hate relationship with my work device.
