You do have a choice. Get a new job.

SageTV is a buggy piece of crap as well. I ran it for a year, went back to MythTV. If I'm going to be working around stupid bugs, I might as well at least have the code available.

Yeah, probably. Serenity kinda sucked. The show was better than the movie.

Yes, but it only takes an hour to navigate the screens to find the movie you want because the UI is so frickin slow. Great device, bad execution.

In the real world, we call this form of incentive "Money", not "XP".

Your memory is nearly 10x the size of your database. Come back when your database is 1000x the size of your RAM.

"Claimed?"

Dude, our lockers started rattling! My 4th grade teacher, who had just moved from California FREAKED. I guess she though she finally escaped them. The rest of us were like "wtf was that?"

We definitely felt it, no doubt about it.

Brooklyn, OH represent!

What happens is eventually they add enough capacity and enough customers that the data centers themselves have no yearly peak. Amazon may peak in December, but NBC may peak in August during the Olympics. Over the course of the year, everybody's peaks average out to no peak.

I've had many iterations of hardware over the last 7 years. Trust me, it's not the hardware. I've spent more money on hardware for this thing than I ever should have.

I ran MythTV for six years. The last year I've used SageTV. I got sick of MythTV locking up, crashing, and the constant non-stop twiddling with my configuration because I could never get things quite right.

SageTV isn't much better. I spend a lot less time twiddling, but it crashes and freezes about as often as MythTV used to. I'm still looking for that HTPC that just works. I haven't found it yet.

Must be nice. I paid 10x that for my private uni and I'm not sure it was worth the extra $$$. What I use at work, to this day, a decade later, is still mostly self taught.

Yes, because we all know everybody has a cow in their back yard and a generator in their basement.

Things change. Computing will become more utility like. Adapt or die.

Go drive a Pontiac G8 or a 2009 Cadilac CTS. Ever driven a Corvette? Even the 2009 Impala is a pretty nice car. My buddy's mid 90's Pontiac Bonnevile got about 180,000 miles on it with no major work when he finally junked it. My 91 Grand Am wasn't a great car, but it was good enough for the price and got the job done without too much hassle. My father has an 84 Corvette. It's not the best Corvette ever made, but it's still a great ride.

Not all GM cars are bad. Some are really bad, yes, but GM has made good cars and will make more good cars in the future. We just need to prod them enough so that ALL their cars are good.

Who wants to fiddle with lirc? I just want my shit to work. I'm sick of fiddling. I've got better things to do with my time.

I have that case. That is an awesome case.
