I am in an apartment as well and can recieve HD signals via an indoor antenna. Depends on where you are located with relation to the transmitter of course. Check www.antennaweb.org for info on your area.. Also you will need to try a few different antennas to see which one works best. I suggest asking at www.avsforum.com if you need help getting started.
A bit of a pain to get setup, but it is worth it. All the national networks, except FOX, are broadcasting in an HD format. FOX does 480p, FOX sucks. It may vary depending on affiliate, but know the national feed is in HD so you can complain to your local if they are skimping.
Yeah, sounds a lot like IRC, except it also actually sounds easy to use, unlike IRC. I don't know how many hours I have wasted trying to figure out how to do something trivial on IRC...
Sounds like a cool idea to me.
Do people actually make up emoticons on a regular basis? Never done it myself. Go to any web bulletin board, animated emoticons are rampant.
For a midsized car they wanted me to pay $500/month, right now I pay $250.
Umm, HOLY SHIT, $500/month?! You driving a Lambourghini in Compton or something? My insurance is $800/year for full coverage in Los Angeles. Granted that is for an economy car but I know no one who pays even close to that much for insurance.
I don't think GPS has enough resolution for this application. It can only go down to a meter or so I think. So you would have to run around the block to scroll around your document.
Where does it say you have to certify anything? My understanding is that the TCPA does not certify anything, they just publish the spec and place the certification duty on the developer. So you can certify or not, the TCPA doesn't care. Everythign is freely available so they can't exactly force you to certify anything.
I read the article. The original post had a "Click Next to read the letter" link in the story which I missed until a bit after I posted my comment. So sorry.
I still think WB has the right to demand the ISP kick those users. It is still copyright violation which is illegal in Australia. Media Force just needs to use a different form letter which will cite law specific to the country in question.
IANAL, but isn't sharing a movie or music a copyright violation? The owners of the copyright are asking the ISP to stop the people who are infringing their copyright. What is the problem? Copyright is pretty much international law with the Berne convention. I see no jurisdiction problem here.
FYI: Modem failures are not a big deal anymore since 3.0 cam out. You can use the serial port on old TiVo's to either connect using PPP over serial or an external modem. Just enter,#2xx for PPP over serial or,#3xx for external modem in the dialing prefix. xx is the port speed.,#401 tells it to use ethernet if you have tivonet or USB adapter for series 2.
Then why was there a waiting list for the EV1 when it first came out?
They didn't make enough. What is your point, how long was that waiting list, a few thousand? what percentage of the US population is that?
I think all people are interested in is performance. I.e. will it go as fast as gas?
No all people are interested in is the same experience they get with their car now. Freedom to drive anywhere they want without worrying about fuel. When you can charge an electric in 5 minutes let me know, maybe I will think about buying one.
Fry's electronics in Sunnyvale CA has special parking spots for cars that use the EV1's charger plugs.
Westside Pavilion in L.A. and Santa Monica place have charge spots as well. Number of times I have seen them used? Zero.
Electric seems like a pretty dead tech right now. Long refuel time, short range. Why would anybody want one? Hybrids and fuel cells have much more potential.
The situation has greatly improved since the oil for food program was instituted.
Recently saw a Frontline episode where a Brit reporter toured Iraq. He went to the hospitals, went to the children's ward. Most of the children were in there for drinking untreated water. He asked the hospital administrator if they were in need of any drugs, nope. He went into a local pharmacy. Well stocked. He wandered the markets, plenty of food.
No it is not arbitrary to say that flight took off after the Wright's. Flight was an anomoly, a curious spectacle prior to the 1900's. It became an everyday part of the common man's world a couple of decades after the Wright's flight.
Lets use a quote from the your umd sources: "Once details of the Wrights methods became public when their patent was issued in late 1905, other inventors quickly copied the important discoveries of the Wright brothers, and developed airplanes as capable as those of the Wrights"
In other words the Wrights made a huge contribution to the field.
Look, I am not denying the influence that the early pioneers of flight had. Notice what I changed the subject line to? It is what Newton said of his accomplishments. I just find it silly to insist that the Wright's did not have a great influence on the world of aviation.
Yes and atributing creating the field of Physics to Newton is a bit overestimated. Every scientific discovery is built upon the knowledge of the day. Flight took off after the Wright brothers. That is not just a coincidence.

480p is not HDTV. It is just plain DTV. HD is 720p, 1080i and 1080p. This is why FOX is always criticized for only broadcasting 480p, it is not HD.

Wow, why does it cost so much to maintain a bridge?
No. From the page you linked to:
"Your job duties and responsibilities determine if you must be paid overtime, not your salaried status or job title. "
How many weeks do you get in the states?
5 weeks. If you honestly hate your job so much that you need that much paid vaction then you should change jobs
I would buy a bottle marked $1. There is no way in hell I would buy a bottle marked $120. Pretty simple really. :)

Right to work means that you can work at a union shop without having to join the union.
Yamaha still offers a 2 year warranty on recievers/amps according to their webpage. Onkyo and HK do as well. Probably most do. This is for the US.
Not so crazy as you might think. They charge for xbox live service which is pretty much the same thing.
How is Valve one of the best game companies? They made one game and then proceeded to rerelease it in about 5 different forms. Bah.
I don't think GPS has enough resolution for this application. It can only go down to a meter or so I think. So you would have to run around the block to scroll around your document.
The fires have been on the national news in the US. Many stories. Last years fires were as well.

Last I heard there was no HDTV in Europe. Has this changed recently?

Actually i am pretty sure that if you log out it will shutdown IE.

Sony has had a Linux based PVR on the market in the US for the past 3 years or so.
The SVR 3000 is the current model.
Uses TiVo software.
