Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In case anyone's been dying for an update on amych "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Mar 28, 2007 5:25:57 pm PDT, I ended up using a different upgrade site (MFSLive instead of upgrade-instructions, which I found thanks to Theo's link to tivocommunity), and my increasingly skipping-and-glitching 40-hour TiVo is now a shiny new 237-hour monster. w00t!!1!

Glad I could help, tommyrot!
amych -- If you haven't the activated the TiVo service yet, be sure and put in a referral for Theo so she'll get the points.
(I'm mister referral today!)

It's been activated for years now -- this was just a hard drive upgrade. But it's an excellent point.

Compassionately intolerant
Pedometers. I'm so confuzzled by the options in pedometers.
Has anyone had experience with or advice regarding, the Nike/Nano pedometer technology?
I do not want the Nike shoes (bought New Balance) and am looking for a workaround to use the pedo-dewhickey but am not sure how to secure it to the shoe and if it will work that way.
I'd also like to get feedback on the accuracy of this device OR a recommendation for something better.
Also, I'm curious about the possibility of downloading audiobooks to the nano and if that sucks up more or less or equal memory than music.
Thanking you in adance! t /Discworld

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have an XP PC and an OS X laptop that I'd like to refer to each other by name. Currently the IP addresses are dynamic, provided by my WRT54G router. I want to keep using DHCP because it also provides the addresses of the Time Warner DNS servers to the clients, and I don't want to hardcode that.
A friend, unsure of the model of my router, suggested I look and see if I can get the DHCP server to fake it, by associating a specific MAC address with a specific IP address. Then I can just hardcode the link between IP addresses and hostnames in the hosts file on either box.
It's not pretty, and I don't love it, but it doesn't matter because that doesn't seem to be an option with my router. Am I missing something, as far as y'all know? Also, I do note that my router knows the names of the devices (I checked the DHCP client table)--why can't they know each other's?
I feel I'm missing something I could be doing to solve my problem with the pieces to hand, but if not, I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to, perhaps, a routher that plays nicer.
