I know a guy who is a P.E. in mechanical engineering without a degree. He put in the time in his job and rose up through the ranks through work, and took the test. The requirements are a degree or equivalent experience. By 38 he had a P.E. and was pulling down the dollars just like everyone else. This was in the nuclear industry.

A house key (I spent the $100 to get all my doors keyed alike), a car key, and my wifes car key. All other keys I keep on hooks in a wall box at the house. I do have a ring of keys I might need on the road in my car (clients offices, parents houses, safe deposit box etc). It simplifies things greatly. I just added a kay to my daughters truck, but think I am going to put it in the box too.

How funny is it that the time in the video was changing to 4:20? haha, marketing to the stoners

Wow, and yet no one had done so and delivered it to market?

Tivo in 1999 was a miracle device, much like the VCR in its first generation.

My how memories are short.

Damn straight. Let them do what they are natively good at for once. For free.

Thank jeebus that Cox in Baton Rouge seems to be cable card friendly... I have 3 TIVOs in teh house and am in TV heaven. I rarley watch, but when I do I can watch WHAT I WANT.

Um, because at the time no one had done it before and put it out to market?

If you come up with something and go to market with it, I hope someone treats you as badly as these companies have treated TIVO.

Microosft does not and never has "innovated". They purchase the fruits of labor of innovators and slap their own names on it.

Why yes. They did make a VCR with a computer, that also recorded and played back the recording while it was being recorded. And allowed relatively instant access to anywhwere within the video recording. And allowed one to pause live TV, and schedule the recordings intelligently with little hassle, and organize and display those recordings in an easy to use way.

Oh I see now, its WAY FUCKING BETTER THAN A VCR.

I have 3 HD Tivos, all lifetime subscription. They are the best entertainment dollar I have ever spent. I have tried everything, and these "just work"

CASE FUCKING DISMISSED. Microsoft is held in contempt of the world, and must perform oral sex on everyone. twice.

for someone with a relatively low slashdot member #, they are going to kick you outta here for not knowing what debian ETCH is or Johnny 5

but the vertical integration brought about by itunes and the itunes store brought an end-to-end solution that average end users could buy and install and setup and USE to build a reliable library of music and media that they could take with them everywhere. That is what was revolutionary. It brought easy media management and library building to the masses all under one "roof".

only in soviet russia my friend.

Gates was decidedly a white collar kid who skipped straight from childhood to robber-baron.
