    Whats a Good HTPC Remote control?

    The MS remote came with my PVR-150, but I hate the remote itself. I use the IR receiver with a OneForAll remote (URC-6131B I think). Those OneForAll remotes have un-documented codes that work that I have to use, but it works great.

    MythTV 0.20 Released

    I upgraded to 0.20 on my gentoo box. I had one problem where entering numbers while browsing channels didn't make the guide switch at all. It seems that the gentoo ebuild in Portage actually installs an old SVN release, where that was a known bug. If anyone else is upgrading to 0.20, don't...

    WTB: 1GB DDR Ram

    Preferrably a 2x512mb kit, under $100.

    Virus in .jpgs!?

    Did YOU even read the link? Those vulnerability listings are basically broken down into two categories: Windows, and everything else. Seriously, check what OSs are listed in the "Unix/Linux" section. Just a quick search and I noticed: Apple Mac OS X Multiple Vulnerabilities FreeBSD devfs...

    what are you looking for in the next os longhorn?

    How about not making the main user an Administrator? Some programs require admin access just to run, which is VERY bad. The default should be to have a seperate regular user and a seperate admin account, like all other OS's (Mac and all Unixes I've used).

    Should Windows 98/ME still be supported by hardware and software manufacturers?

    I voted NO. The way I see it, its not really necessary. For hardware- Most consumers who buy new hardware will have the money to buy XP. If they don't, they probably have the technical know how to get a pirated version (since they'll be installing their own hardware). For software-...

    Why not let "regular" x86 PC's run OS X?

    I very much doubt its for technical reasons. Since the x86 version of OSX has been maintained for the last several years, I have no doubt that they already have a fair number of drivers for it. If you think about it, there really isn't that many drivers they'd have to write, since ATI and...

    It's offical, apple moving to x86 Intel chips by June 6th 2006

    Why do some people here think that OSX's stability would go down the crapper if it was opened to different hardware configurations? Linux is very stable on pretty much any hardware you can find. The only problem I see is that more drivers would have to be written. They could just not support...

    Apple to start using Intel chips?

    I meant "emulating JUST a ROM hasn't been done before". Of course PearPC emulates the mac ROM, but that is only a small fraction of the CPU time. Regardless, I don't see how you can maintain that OSX can't be cracked- especially since Apple's protection method hasn't yet been defined.

    Apple to start using Intel chips?

    I'm just wondering where you read this. While emulating a ROM has not been done before, I can't think of a situation when it was really needed. Also, a minimal host system could also be pretty invisible to the user, if all it has to do is emulate a ROM. Also, I'm wondering if the Darwin...

    Apple to start using Intel chips?

    How do you know emulating just the ROM is not possible? Since Apple is going to switch to x86, there wouldn't need to be any other sort of emulation. Would emulating a ROM even be that hard?

    Apple to start using Intel chips?

    That's true, but computer prices are dropping. Was there ever a Mac priced at $500 before the Mac Mini? I think it would be hard for Apple to stick a newly designed Intel PPC chip into a computer, and still retail it for around $500. That's actually a good point. I could see intel...

    Apple to start using Intel chips?

    Did anyone else notice that Apple will be moving the low-end machines to Intel FIRST? Doesn't that seem a little backwards? If this is the case, then I can't imagine Intel making a PowerPC CPU for Apple, as they'd likely be the only customers for such a chip. So wouldn't an Intel PowerPC chip...

    pvr150 vs ATI

    If you're even considering trying MythTV, then forget about anything but the PVR250. The IVTV drivers are the linux drivers that PVR cards use for linux, and the most tested card for those drivers is the PVR250/350. I would advise you to just spend the extra $40 or so, because it will probably...
