this group but it could have been through Googling or a mixture. You are
right that it needs to be customized. This is just what I did. It kept the
HDHR connected where previously Linux was disconnecting. The HDHRs were
working fine and I could view them from Windows when the Linux box and thus
Myth could not. What SD did was suggest I use Windows to see if the HDHRs
were still connected and working at a time when Linux could not see them.
It was a great troubleshooting technique as it isolated the problem to
Linux. Not Myth, not the HDHRs.

My son works at Google and I trust them. Let me simplify the privacy issues
and what I understand Google does and does not do.
Google is in the business of selling ads and wants them to be relevant to
the viewer. There are three ways this can be done:
1) By where you are. This is similar to a newspaper having different
editions for different geographies.
2) By what you do. You visited Homedepot.com looked at lawn mowers so here
is a lawn mower ad.
3) By who you are. You are Frank and you like sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll.

Google does 1 and 2 but not 3. In California, starting next year, you can
opt out of #2. I have opted out of #2 on behalf of all my users on my
website for example so I don't need to ask everyone individually. Nice
feature. I think the EU is similar.

It is my belief that Facebook uses #3 and I do not put Google and Facebook
in the same box.
