Dvorak can be an opinionated ass, but generally he hits the nail on the head. With this article on MythTV, I think he has done a great job, and in no way paints a negative light. The only incorrect part I could see is saying that Myth won't even rec ord commercials, which we know is not true.
I also like how he basically states that if "the man" won't give the people what they want(M$, DRM, Hollywood), the geeks will find a way to do it... How is this statement negative: "In a networked, computer-based world, the sense of community breeds a socialistic desire to share, not covet. This mentality is at the root of all the open-source activity and cannot be ignored or denied." Robin On Sat, 19 Feb 2005 17:47:35 +1000, David Whyte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree.
