pcHDTV Card Available, Legal for Now

Posted by michael on from the war-on-hardware dept.

corby writes "pcHDTV has announced that their new HD-3000 Hi Definition Television Card will be shipping tomorrow, November 8th. The card is supported under Linux, and captures NTSC and ATSC video streams. It also ignores the Broadcast Flag, which means that it will be illegal in the States starting July 1st, 2005, under a recent FCC Order. If you are interested in being able to make your own decisions about what you can do with broadcast HDTV content, this is your last, best, chance."

    Even Hitler was popular. It just shows how gullible the American people are.

    These are some of the reasons why Michael Moore labeled Clinton as a great Republican President.

    Please shut the fuck up - you are the one who ends up sounding like a whiny bitch, as do most conservatives.

    Now as to your lamely expressed point, we all agree completely here that the Democrats have done fuck all to protect our civil liberties in recent years and have run roughshod over them just as much as Republicans have. I am only a liberal in the sense of having generally socially liberal beliefs - meaning the opposite of an authoritarian. In fact, until several years ago I used to describe myself as a liberal Republican, until it became clear to me back in the late 90s that the Republican party was becoming the party of rural hicks without an education, and the party of religious authoritarianism.

    But you don't have to be a socialist income redistributer to see that the Bush administration and the Republicans in Congress are even worse when it comes to civil liberties than the Democrats. Now, in addition to having our rights online trampled, our rights in the real world get trampled too. This is the party you suggest as an alternative? And you dare to use the word 'liberal' as if it were a dirty word because we believe that we have basic rights that must not be infringed?

    So I say again: shut the fuck up, and leave if you don't like it around here.
