>I can see artifacts in my standard digital cable signal anyway.
If it's only in your digital, count your blessings. My digital is bad, but it bleeds into the analog, particularly if it's abc (both stations). Extra red to the right of some objects (heads in particular, and worse for animation) is the most common. Yes, even when using the analog television tuner, or the vcr. I won't even bring up the traces caused by a moving arm on a still background when using digital . .
just as soon as I can have WB and UPN primetime (ok, just Enterprise), I'll go to a directtivo . . .
It has almost the same processing power. I stubled across a bbs for 100's and 102's in '88 or '89 in San Diego, which ran on one . . . the 300 baud internal modem and 24k of memory . . .

I won't speak for slashdot, or even claim it is coherent, but I'll answer as a free market economist, and as an antitrust lawyer.
Markets generally work, and evidence from the present all the way back to the Roman empire and Summeria show that government intervention in markets fails.
Many stop at this point, and call for the DOJ to back off. But that's where the error occurs.
Functioning markets work, are good, and should not be tampered with by the government.
The problem with monopolies is that they ruin our precious markets--even moreso than government intervention.
So is interventionin the market good? No. But it's better than a monopolist making matters even worse.
I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice. If you need legal advice, contect an attorney licensed in your jursidiction. If you try to get legal advice on slashdot, find a mental health facility in your jurisdiction.

That's nonsense, even by slashdot standards!
The tying issue was sent back. The findings of fact, however, were upheld in their entirety. The findings of illegal use of market power were upheld.

I'm not sure what to say, other than that you should put the crack pipe down. The *process* by which the remedy was chosen (specifically, a judge breaking ethical rules by granting interviews) was rejected, and one conclusion of law was rejected. Microsoft shills are claiming that the breakup was overturned, which is a willfully false statement. The court was very clear, and even issued a second opinion to make clear, that it had not ruled out *any* remedies.
After the folks in the black helicoptors stopped coming and giving free rides, the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy fizzled out. Many of our members (who, indeed, came from all parts of the political spectrum, but shared the common bond of enjoying helicopter rides and those marvelous brownies Phyllis Shaffley always brought) went looking for other secret organizations to join.
But we'll be back! just as soon as someone has fuel for the helicopters . . .

My models typically run for hours, if not days. Even so, they're smaller than what I want to do, due to the time I wait. Dual processors means bigger models, better papers, . . .
OK, what I want is a straight price for a pair of these, a multiswitch, and installation. There's a bit of this, and a bit of that, but I want a straight price for the bundle . . . and yes, I would want 2. We get no regular reception out here (this part of the state is *why* the state handed Penn State money and told them to develop cable). I either need a second unit of satellite, or a secdond receiver, for the kids room. As the price isn't very different, I may as well tivo it . . .

There should not be a charge. You're at the wrong bank. I'm not even sure it's *possible* for a bank to not participate in ACH these days. If you have a checking account, and your checks have a routing number, that's all that's needed . . .
almost. There was a very slight difference that you could detect with self modifying code. If memory serves, it fetched/catched the same number of 8bits as the 8086 did 16bits. You could write a jump that would get cached in one and not the other, or somesuch, to figure out which one you were using.
