Sharp launches world's first LCD TV Blu-ray recorders

Huh.

Interestingly, unlike XP, Ubuntu 8.04 installed without a hiccup.

Ubuntu 8.04 was by far the easiest install I've ever done of an OS.

Sorry about your router Cashmere, whenever my old Linksys router lost it, I unplugged it and my cable modem for about a minute, then plugged in the cable modem and let it get a connection, then plugged in the router. That usually did the trick until the router stopped working entirely. I replaced it not too long ago with a $30 Netgear router and haven't had a problem since. I probably just go unlucky, but when I got that router I first of all had to return two others, the first one dropped connections about every 10 minutes, the second one started smoking after about a half hour of use, and the one that worked would still lose its connections every week or so. Wireless was problematic as well.

Thanks for the google reader assistance -- it doesn't quite do what I'm looking for, but maybe I'll just re-sort my feeds to approximate it.

So wtf is up with bloglines anyway? Besides being down that one day, all sorts of things that were working have gotten all wonky. I started thinking of switching to google reader even before bon bon's post. I'd rather not (just because I'm lazy) - is there any word on wtf is up with bloglines?

When I searchedall I could find were people bitching about how flaky it is, and how support and the forums are useless. It's super annoying that bloglines doesn't communicate when/why they're down. This was the tipping point for me: [link]

Heh. Thanks.

Well, sometimes they have that plumber guy, when they're down for scheduled maintenance....

Say, you don't suppose that's Joe the plumber, do you?

Yeah, I'll probably end up switching to google reader....

bon bon, I am dying with the twitters that are in other languages - and complaining about bloglines!

bloglines fucked up my feeds about 2-3 years ago and I moved to google reader.

Looks like it's not good to be "Joe the Plumber" [link]
- no contractors license
- never served as an apprentice
- owes back taxes
- has two tax lien
- claims to be in the union, but no record of it

oops.

I also heard the really good gossip that he might be related to Charles Keating.

Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to post that in tech thread, meant it for Bitches... most curious.

NASA: Hubble Space Telescope's Reboot Going Well

NASA's long-distance effort to revive the ailing Hubble Space Telescope is going well, with the orbital observatory on track to resume science observations by week's end, agency officials said Thursday.

The two-day repair began early Wednesday as NASA engineers began commanding Hubble from the ground to switch to a backup system after its main data relay channel failed last month. But remote control fix is tricky, requiring systems to power up after nearly two decades of hibernation.

Wow, booting up hardware that's been sitting dormant in space for 20 years....

Has anyone else been having issues with their Tivo lately? Mine has been recording reruns of TDS and Colbert that are clearly not on the To-Do List.
