Speaking of TiVo, I just saw this in the Linux Journal Weekly News:
Tech Tip
To make the "skip forward" button on your TiVo act as a "skip forward 30
seconds" button, press:
SELECT PLAY SELECT 3 0 SELECT.
Repeat the same code to deactivate.
Thanks to Jeffrey Siegal on the svlug.org mailing list.

It is prevalent EVERYWHERE. Kroger & Brookshire grocery stores
"require"
you to have their "loyalty" card to receive a "discount". Actually,
it's
the *regular price*. Those without the card are penalized and pay MORE
to
do business with them.
Insurance companies "spy" on you by collecting infromation from your
neighbors about you and they do NOT verify if it's true or not!
MICRO$HIT, has *not-so secret* programs in WIN XP that "report" on you.
Companies, count keystrokes of their employees and monitor WHERE they
go on
the Web at work.
It makes me want to move up into the mountains and become a hermit.
LOL!
