I don't argue that the PS3 is a good value if you are going to use the other things that it is capable of doing, but as a standalone device with the primary duty of playing Blu-Ray discs it is no longer king of the hill.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the suggestion, jimi. I'm not sure about the electrics of the whole thing, though.
I thought pyTiVo was supposed be easy! I just compiled ffmpeg on my box and am running the pyTiVo software--the downloaded files show up on TiVo but won't play. I don't even know where to start troubleshooting.

Are you using pyTivoX? I don't remember having to compile ffmpeg or anything else to get it to run.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
is there anything like this TiVo stuff for U-verse?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are you using pyTivoX?
No, just pyTivo. For some reason the web config tool doesn't save changes to the configuration file, so it wasn't finding the location of ffmpeg.
Not sure how to fix the saving issue, but I can edit the file manually to work around it.
Now to focus on migrating my sister to her new Gateway laptop.

All is well that ends in pizza.

For a robot body, it doesn't seem very mobile. Attach it to a Roomba, at least.

Great. After all that, I have bollixed up the power connector for the Powerbook, so now I can't power on the laptop. It might be over for it, finally.
Sad now.

Um, I can't be coherent in this question because I don't play with PCs much. But so. My SIL's laptop. Windows XP. All browsers render as if for mobile. Changing the contrast (??) fixes it, but only per boot up. I have no clue. We're mac logic people, which means we're either useless or rude (my dad.) It's got to be some setting somewhere, but I don't know where. I told her to find a PC person in my brother's gearhead friends, but thought I'd check here too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. What an interesting problem. (Sorry, that's all I got.)
Does this happen no matter what network she's on? Or just one? Is it wifi? or a cellular data network?

Hmm... I just read that there's no standard way for web server code to identify if a client is a mobile device (so the server can then send different code to the client).
