montoyaAfter years of dealing with multiple remotes, I finally broke down and replaced the five separate remotes for our various bits of AV gear with a Logitech Harmony One. It also controls the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 2, conveniently enough. This makes watching movies via NetFlix streaming service on the 360 really easy too since it will pretend to be a controller and map controller functions the their logical equivalent on the remote's buttons.
The level of control and customization possible on this thing is amazing. I'm glad I bought it, and I've only had it since Tuesday. I'm still making tweaks and adjustments, but the initial setup was pretty easy and only took a few minutes. You plug it into a USB port on your computer, fire up the software to program it, tell it what devices you have, and it pulls down the latest info it has on them from Logitech over your net connection and walks you through getting the functions set up.
Highly recommended for those of you out there who are tired of dealing with a bundle of different remotes all the time.
EDIT: Oh, and let's not overlook the rechargeable Lithium ion battery, negating the need to buy and replace batteries.

Fuck you Sun. Fuck you too, NetApp. You can both die in a fucking fire.
Go to Hell, don't come back.

...To stop fucking with Java. I have this NetApp that is administered via Java applets, most of which don't even pretend to work with versions of Java six months prior to whatever release of ONTAP you're using on your NetApp. I've spent the last while building a VM that I will not patch, and can only hope the NetApp will feed me whatever Java version it works with when I connect to it. If it sends me to Sun, I'm going to jump off the fucking balcony. Or, better yet, I'll throw the fucking NetApp off the balcony.
I'm not sure who I hate more, Sun for breaking shit with every subsequent Java release, or vendors who rely on this fucking shit and make my job impossible without it (there's a lot I can do from the command line on this thing, but some things can ONLY be done via the Java GUI that of course doesn't even pretend to try and work).

Until I recently bought the GeForce 9800 GTX+ I have now, I hadn't given you any of my money since back in June of 2000. My recent purchase reminds me WHY.
The fucking thing is unstable as hell. The Witcher? I will apparently never get to finish this game, since you will not run it for more than about half a minute before you crash to the desktop with a driver error. Crysis? As long as I only want to see it in DX9, everything is great! DX10, not so much. Anything running on the HL1 engine is random; sometimes Counterstrike will run for hours glitch free and then I'll be looking at driver crashes every few minutes. HL2 based games run fine, however. Other things are just as random, where they either run fine, run fine for a while at random, or are totally unplayable. And these are games with a fucking Nvidia logo spammed into their start up cinematics, like Neverwinter Nights, which your hardware can't seem to reliably deal with.
And I'm sure by this time next year, you will have abandoned me on the driver update front as well, since you orphan hardware like it's going out of style.
Next upgrade cycle? It's back to ATi.

Is something my machine here at home lacks. Ever since I replaced the failed Radeon HD 2900 with the 9800 GTX+, things have been...odd. I'm thinking about a reinstall from scratch as maybe there's some old ATi cruft still hiding somewhere that's causing problems, although I'm severely tempted to replace the motherboard as well, since my video card is PCI-e x16 2.0, and my current motherboard only does PCI-e x16 1.x. Although it looks suspiciously like my DDR2 800 RAM won't work in any of the newer PCI-e x16 2.x motherboards, which is irritating.
