sumi, as I understand it, another big problem with having a tivo without a subscription is that the clock drifts and there is no way to manually set the clock.

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!

Art Crawl!!!
But if I buy a used tivo I can subscribe through the website - so that's a possibility.

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

Well, if the clock is running fast and gets ahead of the actual time, you could accelerate it to, say, 1/10th the speed of light, relying on relativistic time dilation to slow it down until it has the correct time again.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Can someone help with what should be a simple html/css problem? I've got an unordered list. I want bullets on some items, and no bullet on others. My style tags work correctly in Firefox, but in IE (versions 6 and 7), I'm not seeing bullets in front of ANY of the items. Am I missing something obvious? Here's the page: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clock drift is significant--I had mine unable to connect for a while, and I was losing the ends of shows, even though it hadn't been long enough for me to run out of programming information.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't have IE handy to test, but it looks like on the lines where you don't have a bullet, you're missing the final semicolon in your style attribute -- instead of list-style:none; you have list-style:none
I'd have to tweak to speculate more about why, but it's an easy fix to try and won't harm anything...

Ok, Apple is finally addressing the "Time Machine on a laptop" issue. Yay! An Airport Extreme base station with 500 GB drive is $299 (which allows Time Machine use). I think I need that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I hope they backport that to existing AEBSs, cause I only recently bought one...

For those who are following the Keynote - can you tell if you can still buy movies or is it now rental only?
Either way, the iTV thing is looking more and more attractive

Steve isn't saying. I would presume that the studios who were currently selling titles will continue, but the studios who just came on board will be rental only.
