This is a question for those of you who have been flying since the latest upgrade in security. Any big problems with electronic equipment on domestic flights? I'm heading out to Indiana on Sunday to run a training class and I travel with two laptop, hard drives, electronic tools, etc. I've been fine up to this poing, just making sure there are no new gotchas I should know about.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
On my flight from Nashville to Chicago, I had two laptops, two spare hard drives, a digital camera, an ipod, a pda, and an entire dopp kit of cords and stuff. I got through without any issues whatsoever, minus the normal ones of taking out your laptop(s) to go through the xray machine.

Thrive to spite them
TSA hasn't issued any restrictions on electronic equipment so no one should be giving you a hard time.

Excellent. That's what I wanted to know.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Thanks, Plei.
I eventually did find a few models of DTV tuners/receivers, recorders, and combinations, but the prices (even used) are too high to suit. I think I'm going to hold off on the whole DTV thing until I can afford to subscribe to cable again.

Do we all know about the Amazon Unbox thingie? [link]
How long before someone writes an applet to remove the copy protection and allow burning to a DVD?

The Unbox Video player is not compatible with Apple/Macintosh operating systems
Silly people.

It already exists: [link] (at least for now).

Jessica,
you wanted to sync your google calendar with your Treo?
I'm not sure if this is compatible for your Treo or with Macs, but look into airset.com. I pay $4 a month and I can sync a number of web calendars with my Razr. It is completely worth it to me right now.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I think my TiVo is conking out.
It's a 4-years-old series 2. I'd updated it with a 240G hard drive couple of years ago and it's been working beautifully, but yesterday, it abrupted switched off. I could see the machine was trying to run, since I could still hear the hum of the fan, but there was no green light in the front of the machine and screen remained black. I unplugged it and plugged it in again, then it rebooted, leading to the TiVo logo with "your recorder is starting up, please wait a moment." After a couple of minutes of that, the screen went black again and the green light went out. I thought the machine might be overheated, so I unplugged the unit, let it cool overnight and rebooted again this morning -- the same thing.
I can't send it for service since I'd opened up the box. I fear this might be hard drive failure, but is there anything else I should try before getting another drive from Weakknees? I have life time subscription on the machine, so I'd like to keep it if at all possible.
