All the europeans out there might want to check out VDR. Its a great piece of software that works for DVB broadcasts.
Other than that I'd say CAT5 and SPDIF digital everywhere. Wireless is fine for stuff that moves, but you ain't going to move your home theater setup around the house, are you?
Hello, is the U.S. like on a different century in everything that related to phones or something? This would be like writing that someone invented the telephone just because some backward country in Africa got their first phone.
In.fi we've had all this and more for ages. Ok, maybe it is news that the U.S. gets something like this, but the title should be something like:
"The U.S. 411 finally catches up with what the rest of the world has had for ages"
Oh yeah, and we already have a national ID card too, but I still feel like I'd have a lot less privacy if I lived in the States.

Exactly, who's forcing you to buy a motherboard with such a BIOS? Just don't buy it, problem solved. There will always be other options, its not like MS Watch is the only option anymore is it?
I just heard a tip from a hardware guy. He says you can "freeze" a drive in a freezer to make it work for that one last spin. You'll have to be fast though and copy the stuff quickly somewhere else. After it warms up again its gone for good.
He told me this since his laptop hard drive went bad a few days ago and he had succesfully used the trick on it, saving all the data one would have thought lost.
According to him this should work on both drives with broken electronics or broken mechanics. He said he has many theories why it works, but has proven none. YMMV.
Of course, by the time one has grandchildren it might be the case that getting your name on Mars isn't really new and cool anymore.
Especially if you wheelchair is made in Mars.
The reason why I changed to using Linux is only because it's better than the current mainstream OS, not because I'd hate Windows. The fact that more and more companies are starting to commercialize it doesn't really matter, in fact I think it will only be a benefit as the development of Linux will get more and more resources. The development of the core will still be in the hands of Torvalds and others.

I think these "what do you think"-posts are getting a bit long in the tooth. I mean, its not if there wasn't enough comments anyway.
Whoa! Even preparing RFC's! OMG!
