Netgear's tiny Network Attached Storage RAID -- just right for a home entertainment/data server?

Miro doesn't really mesh well with MythTV. Seems almost criminal considering the logo is "turn your computer into an Internet TV", except if you actually want to hook your computer to the TV, then it doesn't really work out. You can set up Miro to record to a folder and get Myth to play videos out of that folder, but that's about as good as it gets. You can't control Miro directly from within Myth, so you'll have to dump out to desktop to make changes or just poke around. Also, since Miro is hardly what I'd call a 10ft GUI, you'll have to bust out the keyboard and mouse and sit really close to the TV to see what you're doing. I've even logged it as a feature request http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9219 , but it seems like other things are more pressing at the moment.

Pedal-powered car gets pulled over by Toronto Police

I don't understand. They clearly show bicyclists using the same road as the pedal car. How is this less safe? Perhaps they'd be legal if they were wearing bike helmets?

Yer Maw said : "The US might not have a publicly funded TV network"

Uh, we do. Its called PBS, although it seems as if Congress in the President are slowly trying to shut it down.
