Europe, and most of the world, uses DVB-T for digital television.
The USA, South Korea, and probably Canada and Mexico use ATSC.
The two standards are not compatible. DVB-T is primarily a standard for standard definition digital television, while ATSC includes both standard definition and high definition modes.
With the increasing density and decreasing cost of flash memory, why install a hard disk? It adds expense, noise, power consumption and reduces system reliability.
That's because you don't make your living off creating original IP.
How much of the work is truly original? Most artists draw heavily upon a shared cultural heritage and public domain to create new works. It's a bit hypocritical to make use of that heritage and then scream "It's mine! All mine! Nobody else can ever look at it or listen to it without paying me for the privilege."
If you're serious, you should talk to a lawyer. He should know the proper, and legal, ways to register the domain so that the contact info points to your legal representative, not your personal info.
I don't have a problem with other people having an opinion on who should be President. If they aren't American citizens, their opinion is irrelevant to our political process. I may have a personal opinion on who should be PM in the UK, but I don't try to interfere with or influence their political process. That's for the citizens of the UK to decide. I wouldn't expect the BBC to run polls in the USA or France on Tony Blair's popularity or the popularity of Labour.
Maybe because they need to communicate with other state agencies, local governments and agencies, vendors, and the public. Not to mention the federal government and other state governments. The world is much more complicated than you think.
If it had been up to me, Margaret Thatcher would have been appointed PM for life, but not being a citizen of the UK, nobody asked for my vote or my opinion. That is as it should be.
It's the fscking government that's forcing the broadcasters to switch! It wasn't their idea.
Wrong. It was the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) who got the ball rolling on HDTV. This was their plan to keep Motorola from stealing "their spectrum". They had already lost part of the UHF TV spectrum (Channels 70-83) to the AMPS cellular phone band (800 MHz) and land mobile use.
What do you expect? If I talk to a reporter, and he fabricates quotes, lies to obtain information, or writes a story that willfully ignores any facts that conflict with his thesis, he is going on my shit list. Many reporters have the same "ends justifies the means" attitude towards the truth that afflicts many police officers.
I'd like to see more police sting operations for bicycle theft. They put a nice bike out in a high crime area and videotape/arrest the losers who attempt to steal it. If the bike is worth enough, they can charge the thief with grand larceny, a felony.
There are many networked printers on networks that were allocated large globally routable blocks of IP addresses before the advent of ISPs and restrictive policies on the issuance of IP addresses.
It bothered me. Not because I have an aversion to looking at unclothed women. My immediate reaction was that this was a stupid and deliberate attempt to be shocking or "extreme", dreamt up by some moron in the marketing department at MTV. People, including families, who tune in the Superbowl, shouldn't be subjected to that sort of crap.
You are neglecting the admin time and cost of keeping the server running. Monitoring it for problems, keeping the software up-to-date, making configuration changes, keeping it backed up, documenting the configuration so that disaster recovery is relatively painless and quick.
I finally ended up with the Netopia R910 after being frustrated with the bugs and glitches of cheap routers made by SMC and Netgear. The R910 is the entry level model in a product line of real commercial routers, sharing most of its software with its more expensive relatives. It's been 100% reliable since it was installed. I've never had to reset it or cycle the power. The documentation and software isn't as "user friendly" as more consumer oriented routers, but it shouldn't be a problem for anyone with a basic understanding of networks and TCP/IP.
The "must accept interference" and "may not cause interference" phrases are the FCC's way of saying that Part 15 devices are at the bottom of hierarchy of spectrum usage. For any given chunk of spectrum, there may be primary, secondary and tertiary users. Think of it as a class system, with nobles, freemen and slaves. Licensed primary users are nobles, licensed secondary users are freemen, and unlicensed users are slaves. Your betters have the right of way and you have no legal cause if they run you off the road.
The thing to remember is that "able to obtain" does not mean a possiblity to obtain, but an actual ability to obtain. And that means 85% of homes must actually have HDTV recievers.
That's one interpretation, and it's wrong. See the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. The actual law can be read here
(Title 47, Section 309, USC).
Look for the section (towards the end of the page) titled "Auction of recaptured broadcast television spectrum".
...15 percent or more of the television households in such market - do not subscribe to a multichannel video programming distributor (as defined in section 522 of this title) that carries one of the digital television service programming channels of each of the television stations broadcasting such a channel in such market; and...
It means that subscribers to a qualifying MVPD are put in the ATSC column, even if they do not have a television receiver or converter capable of receiving the digital television service signals of the television stations licensed in such market.
The number I've read is 85%, and "able to obtain" or market penetration is subject to interpretation. Many people count existing cable and DBS subscribers as part of the ATSC group, leaving OTA NTSC viewers in a small minority in most areas. The FCC wants to get this show on the road, so don't bet on NTSC living forever.
Anything that hastens the demise of NAT is a good thing. I use it, but I recognize that it is an ugly kludge that should be eliminated as soon as possible. It breaks the end-to-end transparency of the Internet. If you want a firewall, install or buy a firewall.

This will list all files in the directory, including those with SYSTEM or HIDDEN attributes.

Every TV, 13" or larger, sold in the USA, has a v-chip. It's an FCC regulation and mandate. The vendors don't have a choice about it.

It means that subscribers to a qualifying MVPD are put in the ATSC column, even if they do not have a television receiver or converter capable of receiving the digital television service signals of the television stations licensed in such market.Uncompressed standard definition digital video (SMPTE 259M) is typically 270 Mbps. It isn't 24-bit color or 24 frames/sec, it's digital NTSC, PAL etc.

I'd like an Itanium. I'm just not willing to pay a bazillion bucks for one. Intel's prices are way too high for a mass-market chip.
