  1. Bigger antannea? on Complaints Pour In After Digital TV Test · · Score: 1

    My understanding of the digital signal vs. analog is that the analog reception drops off gradually the further from the source you are. Digital, on the other hand, has a steady signal for it's coverage area then drops to 0. If this is the case, how is a bigger antenna going to help? Do the people running the program even know how this stuff works?

  11. My ISP prevents IPv6 on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    I was gung ho to set up IPv6 at home. I run linux on all the systems and figured it would be a piece of cake. However when I got to the router they provided, it does not support IPv6, even with firmware upgrades. I am trying to check if they have newer versions. Since they supply custom firmware for the box, I can't just go buy one at the store.

Has anyone read or had experience with this running under linux, or at least does it run under wine successfully?

  24. THEY don't want us to be power independent on Solar Power From Home Curtains · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The more I think about the current situation we are in with power, I am coming to realize that we are here because the power companies/governments want us to be dependent. If we all had solar/wind power our house and fueling the electrolysis fuel cell to create hydrogen for our car, we wouldn't need them. We wouldn't be "contributing to the economy." So rather let's destroy the economy to maintain the status quo. /soapbox

  25. Re:Viacom's reasoning for this information on YouTube Must Give All User Histories To Viacom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's all in how you spin in it. If 80% of the people have watched one viacom broadcast, Then they will say 80% of the youtube poeple only come to watch copyrighted matieral. On the other hand if 20% of people watched mostly copyrighted material, they will say that users are only going to youtube to watch copyrighted material. Either way the data go they will spin it their way. Didn't we just have a post about this last week? (data interpretation I mean)
