Not sure, Java--a friend of mine who worked for the cable company came over, tried to make it work, failed, and ended up talking to someone at the cable help until she got it working for me. But mine is an older tivo (DVD-burning, but not two-channel).
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

If you have an old computer you're a big ass hard drive and a tuner from a homemade DVR. Listings aren't free though, I have to pay $20/year to get them.

Yeah, KO is brilliant. But he knows it, too, damn him. He can spell "Unassuming" but it's not really in his bag of tricks. Although watching him rip Beck's spelling nearly gave me a pedant-gasm. Also, I'm not sure that GB knows what "oligarch" means, either. Not that I'm completely sure, but I didn't free-associate it on national telly like Beck.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ha! I have an old Mac clone and none of the necessary skills.

An old Mac clone probably wouldn't work. Old PCs are more the ticket.

Something like #9 [link] sounds good to me, but I don't know how old that post is or what other options exits.

There are plenty of people who would say we already have an oligarchy.

My gmail notifier is telling me I have an e-mail, but I can't connect to see it. That's just not right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, I haven't ever had to ask anyone in the building I live in to keep their noise down since I lived in the dorms in college. (When I tried it then the usual reaction was for the noise-makers to intentionally make more noise.)
Anyway, I think the person who lives below me is a crazy person. Usually once I'm asleep I sleep like a log, but Sunday night the guy suddenly cranks his stereo at 11:30 PM, waking me up. I put on clothes and was about to ask him to turn it down when he did it on his own.
So last night I go to bed with earplugs on. Then I still get woken up around 1:00 by loud music, which the guy turns way down after a few minutes. He also makes weird noises, such as random loud bangs and strange vocalizations I can't begin to describe.
So what's a polite way to tell him being loud late at night is simply unacceptable? Apparently no one was in my apartment for several years - maybe he doesn't know someone has moved in?

Something like [link] might be an option for you, aurelia.
