We don't have Tivo but our cable connection's new trick is (instead of going out completely from time to time like it used to) going on and off in one second bursts. On the plus side I am watching a lot less TV!
Bye, now. Have good sex.

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!

Thanks for the recs, guys. But what about my ATA question. Do I have to buy Ultra ATA only?

SoCal residents, how is your switch to Time Warner Cable going?
I spent an hour reprogramming my channels to display and I still have 3 TNTs. I think that says it all.

Any parallel ATA drive will work. Basically any ATA drive that isn't SATA (serial ATA).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool. I now have a working ultrasonic range finder.
Now to assemble the servo-operated pan/tilt mechanism....
Or, I suppose I should go to bed....

I have installed a new 200gb hard drive and a full 1gb of memory. Zippy!

Now to see which of my two older drives is crapping out, and use the other one as my Ubuntu drive, at least until I can get another new drive.
Also, I have performed a fresh XPPro install.
Also I'll need to pull all my old files off the old drive.

If watching a progress bar can really be counted as "busy."

Hey. New board.
From MacRumors.com, the iPhone FAQ:
- Does the Web browser support Flash or Java? –No.
- Can it open Word and Excel documents? –No. (Steve Jobs says it can open PDF files, though.)
- Will it sync with Outlook? –No.
- Does it connect to standard iPod accessories like car docks and speaker systems? –Yes!
- Won’t the screen get smudgy? –It does, but you don’t see it except when the screen is off. The one I played with was pretty streaky, but wiping it on my sleeve cleaned it completely.
Now I'm even less likely to get one. The thing that attracted me initially was not the "iPod meets Phone" capabilities - it's the OS. It looks like it could be a really powerful application platform well beyond the phone/media. And they seem to be ignoring that. I can (and often do) read and write Word/Excel files on my $400, contract-free, unlocked Treo 680. That feature is added on by external software, but Apple has specifically said that there won't be an easy way to write and install new apps for the iPhone. They keep comparing it to an iPod, a closed platform. Which seems like a waste. Let it be the computer it could be.
