Is your PC "Vista Capable?" {Engadget}
Apr 2nd 2006 10:59PM Ask me if I care. Personally, I've been Windoze free for years. I run Linux on all my machines. Mostly everyone else in the household uses a Mac. The only one in my family running Windows is my 13 year daughter. I keep a image of her HDD around for everytime she gets bit hard. She wants an iMac G5 for graduation. She'll probably get it.
OK, I'll admit it, I own an XBOX. But thats it!

Mar 20th 2006 4:50PM Does anyone know what the reference to "Hot Coffee" means in GTA?
I think it comes from these lines quoted from the movie "Event Horizon":
Cooper: Stark? Would you like something hot and black inside you?
[Stark gives him the finger]
Cooper: Oooh! Is that an offer?
Lt. Starck, Executive Officer: [smiles] It is not.
Cooper: Well how about some coffee, then?

Building your own Media Center PC {PVR Wire}
Feb 20th 2006 5:20PM I wish people would stop calling them Media Center PC's. That implies that they are, indeed, running MS Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Call it a HTPC or Home Theatre PC
Because there are alternatives. I for one have been running Suse Linux with MythTV for the last year.
Here's my setup.
Software:
Suse Linux 9.3 Pro
MythTv
ivtv
MySQL
Hardware:
HTPC CASE - http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_info.php/pName/silverstone-lascala-sstlc03b-htpc-case-black/cName/htpc-cases
TV Tuner cards - (2) Hauppage WinTV PVR-500 MCE (Dual tuner)
CPU - Intel 3.2Ghz Pentium Extreme
RAM - 1GB
MOBO - MSI - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130467
Video -(1)Video card - Nvidia Force FX5200
Storage - (2) 250GB Maxtor SATA drives (LVM'ed - 500GB)
(1)Boot HDD - 1 7.5GB Maxtor IDE HDD
Optical - (1)DVD -/+ RW
I/O - (1)Firewire Card
All displayed on 61" Sony Rear Screen HD TV.
With this setup I can record up to 4 channels at once - while watching a pre-recorded program, rip my DVD collection to HDD, download recorded TV shows and movies to iPod or PSP, display recorded shows and movies on other PCs running the MythTv Front-End (off of CD), play CDs, mp3s, games, get RSS feeds, local weather, free program guide info thru zap2it.com. The possibilties are endless!
