Well, since its possible to get read-only access to NTFS partitions from Linux, and to get read-only access to ext partitions from Windows, the solution is simple:
Create two equal partitions, one of NTFS, and one of ext*. Depending on the OS being used, one partition will be readonly and one will be read-write. Therefore, you always have the ability to read and write data.
Funny that they had that "any day now" attitude to HDTV back in '94. Some things don't change.

I'm pretty sure consistency isn't a word that can be accurately attached to any version of the English language. They are as many inconsistencies with American spellings:
Tor guides?

Perhaps you missed it, but Scotland became part of the British Union in 1707.
Err, my point was that there's no such thing as "Euro English" - its International English. Besides which, the predominant language of EU politics is French, demonstrating what a white elephant the whole setup is.
To claim that the language that Americans speak is not English, though, is snobbery in the extreme. What, do you suppose, is the language that Shakespeare used? It's far more distant from modern day English than the differences between American and Internation varieties.
You need a license to own a device capable of receiving television signals, whether broadcast via cable, satellite, FTA, or internet. This includes VCRs, teletext/CC decoders, TV capture cards, etc
Unless you are watching a DVD on a dumb monitor, you have to pay.
In the above situation, a reasonable person would conclude that the plaintiff agreed to accept $10 to settle his claim.
He agree to accept the $10 because that was the quoted value of the software. Later on, it was demonstrated that value was quoted incorrectly, thus rendering the settlement void.
Or consider this. You hit somebody's lawn ornament with your car. They claim it is worth $200. You say you are confident that it is worth only $50. They respond, "Okay. Send me the check." You send them a check for $50. They then turn around and sue you for $200. Do you think that would be right?
That would only be a valid example if I were a lawn ornament salesman.
If they then came to me and attempted to buy a replacement ornament for $50 and I say "it costs $200 to replace that ornament", then yes they have every right to sue me. Why? because I'd defrauded them.
The case hinges on the fact that the company stated "The software is only worth $10". If they had said "We'll only give you $10" then there is no dishonesty, and no case.
He agreed to the settlement - the cost of the software - in good faith. The cost of the software as quoted by the company was $10.
The company later demonstrated that had incorrectly quoted the value, since they wouldn't sell him the software at that cost.
Therefore, he hadn't reneged on the deal at all, but the company had fraudulently quoted a deflated cost in order to reduce the agreed settlement amount. Had the company agreed to sell him 200 copies of XP for $2000, he'd have no case.
Yep, its been transferred to a single DVD (not including the private backups), that resides at Kew gardens. You have to physically go to the disk to take a look at its contents.
Something makes me think that the BBC has misunderstood one of the concepts of digital media.
Free speech has its roots in the Magna Carta, signed by King John and then subsequently John Milton's Areopagitica, which defended the freedom of the press to Parliament in 1641. All before the USA had been invented
The right to individual privacy is better defended in other Western states where the protection of information and general privacy is codified and enshrined in law, not left to corporations to protect.
Protection from unreasonable search and seizure is an extension of the right to privacy
The legal maxim "Innocent until proven guilty" cames straight from early English jurisprudence (probably even Roman law). It predates most written laws and constitutions, but can be seen at work in all western democracies
British beer(bitter) is served "warm" in the same way red wine is served "warm" (by which you mean room temperature). To preserve the taste of the tanins. I assume you don't crack open the Beaujolais straight from the fridge?
Lager, which all American beer is, needs to be chilled for the following reasons:
It's carbonated. Keeping it cools maintains the CO2 content
Actually, Germany has a negative population growth of -0.1% annually.
Britain also has a negative native population growth of -0.1%, but the net change is 0, thanks to the world's heighest annual intake of refugees amongst developed nations (120,000)
When you fill in a Visa-waiver form to enter the US, "Are you a terrorist, or have you ever been involved in terrorist activities?" is one of the very questions on the sheet.
RGB in Europe isn't transferred via RCA connectors.
The connector of choice in Europe is the SCART. This connector has multiple pins, and carries composite, RGB or S-Video (usually RGB) and has data connectors for signalling aspect ratio (16:9, 14:9 or 4:3 - TVs in Europe are 16:9 these days and are able to perform on-the-fly aspect ratio switching).
Cheap TVs usually only have 1 SCART input which will handle S-Video or RGB. As soon as a TV is large enough to have 2 SCART inputs, it handles both RGB and S-Video. Most TVs have 3-4 SCART inputs.

The BBC is equivalent in quality to HBO, rather than the commercial-free Public access channels, or C-Span, or whatever you're referring to.
For 252 GBP per year ($350) you can get all about 100-200 digital commercial channels, plus digital versions of the FTA channels too.
