It's all fun and games until somebody loses an ID.

A) if your boss showed you the door for giving him sound technical advice, you don't want to work there anyway. B) The safest way to run Windows is in a VM, using NAT mode so it's not directly addressable from the network, under a host OS that isn't Windows (either Linux or MacOS). Even if you're going to spend your…

As long as they don't sell him to a weatherman from Arkansas, he should be ok.

There's an explanation for that. I live in Serra Mesa, too.

What they should do is put him in a box before he dies, and that way we'll never know for sure whether he's alive or dead.

You were two thirds of the way to a White Russian. All you were missing was Kahlua.

Don't be bamboozled into buying one.

You could always opt for the lifetime service. I got that on my first Tivo, and was able to keep it through my first upgrade (mostly because Tivo was trying to unload non-HD boxes at the time, and I hadn't moved to HD yet).
