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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow, that's really not good, Google Buzz.
DCJ, yeah, that's where I was looking, but I don't see in that article where they actually say how to do it! Their setup is slightly different than mine in that I think they're using a modem that links into their router directly. My EVDO modem is USB, so it goes into my laptop...which goes to my network, which would putatively go to Vonage, which would go to my fax machine. It all hooks up fine, but Vonage can't get to its network, so I think it's probably a problem with sharing the EVDO connection to begin with.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
TiVo question. I'm ditching satellite tv and getting a TiVo to use with (the entity formerly known as) Comcast. For someone who's never used - or even seen - a TiVo before, which one should I get? I thought, I'll buy a TiVo! not realizing there are 923859845 versions of it. I want something simple, that a Luddite can use.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'd wait until next month before buying a TiVo. They have some sort of big announcement on March 2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How can one find out how exposed you are by Buzz?
I went to the profiles page where it suggests you look at Felicia Day. Not a bad idea, huh? At the time when I clicked through her she had a public Buzz message. To wit:
Buzz things turn up as a message in your inbox?! Disabling now. Heart attack.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
just shows, not all Google ideas are golden.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How can one find out how exposed you are by Buzz?
I was wondering about that, too, but the thing about how to get rid of it said to start with your profile, and I've never set one up, so I'm clear? No idea.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
even if you have never set up a profile, you still need to take the other steps.
if people who follow you have public profiles and you respond to one of their buzzes, the world may know your gmail address.

Not necessarily. The woman who was complaining about the intrusion of her privacy because of the exposure to her abusive ex was quite deliberate about keeping on the down low and had no profile, but somehow had followers--I think she found them in gmail?
