There was one very simple reason why they bought TechTv - to get more viewers. TechTV was on both major satellite providers and several cable systems. These providers had no interest in G4.
And yes, you can have it downloaded, but by God, MS usually manage to make it as difficult as possible to just download the whole patch as one file that you can install later/on other PCs. Grr.
Go to Windows Update and click on the Windows Update Catalog on the left-hand pane. From there you can pick and download any update you need for any of the supported operating systems. I ususally do this and save them to a USB keychain drive prior to building the machine. I'll then build the machine with the network cable disconnected and apply all of the patches.
This is the first? hmm... it reminds me a lot of the Hitachi MP-EG1 that I used a bit in the late 90's. It recorded full MPEG-1 video to its hard drive. (Although you only got about 20 mins as the hard drive was 260mb!)
The interesting thing to note here was that most Dish customers were looking forward to the merger, while most DirecTV customers were opposed to it. I think it's because the Dish customers were hoping to get better hardware, more programming options (NFL Sunday Ticket), etc. The DirecTV customers had nothing to gain, unless you lived in a really small market and believed Charlie's promises of more local into local coverage.
If DirecTV has the locals you want, why don't you just switch?
Are you sure it wasn't just a GPS? You can find suction cup antennas for just about every major model. It's nice to use one onboard, as you can tell how far you have to go and how much longer you will be on the plane.
ummm.... only the stand-alone Tivos can't record DD5.1. If you were using an satellite-integrated Tivo, you would get the digital audio track. (And for the most part, there are more channels with digital audio tracks on the satellite providers than you would find on TimeWarner Cable.)
If you're buying Home Theater equipment at Wal-Mart, you have a completely different set of problems. There's no Best Buy, Circuit City, or the like anywhere near you?
Anyway, the price isn't that terrible. You can get a decent sized HDTV (52" or so) with an HDTV receiver (DBS & terrestrial) for a little over 2K at most electronics retailers. True, it's not the $100 bargain basement special you would get at Wal-Mart, but it's also not the $10,000 that you are making it out to be.
No, not really. Look at it like this: all cars are vehicles, but not all vehicles are cars. All HDTV broadcasts (in the U.S. anyway) are digital, but not all digital TV broadcasts are HDTV.
DBS satellites only work with a fixed station? I think you need to do a little more research. JetBlue has DirecTv on their airplanes. You can also buy DBS antennas for RVs that track the sat as you drive.
Orlando does have HDTV over the cable system, since most of the local channels have started HDTV (or at least OTA digital) broadcasts. Not that I personally use it, since I purchased a HDTV DirecTV receiver (HDNet rocks!) and it picks up the OTA broadcasts with a simple set of rabbit ears. I end up getting the neat HDTV satellite channels and HDTV locals.
That all being said, I still watch my Tivo 99.9% of the time, because there is so little HD content. The local stations are usually upconverting the standard definition broadcast sent by the network. My HTPC with Dscaler makes a nicer looking picture with standard definition content coming off the Tivo than the local stations with their upconverts can provide.
Don't let the lack of an HDTV Tivo keep you from buying the HDTV set. There's not enough HD content to matter yet. Plus, DVDs and standard content processed by DScaler looks incredible!
Just pay the lifetime fee up front and pretend it's part of the box cost. That's what SonicBlue forces you to do with the Replay. Also, can your VCR record a show while you watch another show that you've already recorded - making it possible for you to never have to watch TV "live"? It's a nice feature if you wish to fast forward through commercials.
Another great library is Bristol Wind/U which allows you to use the Win32 API and MFC on many flavors of unix. Since you are developing on NT first, this seems like the ideal solution.
Unfortunately, the do not call list rules do not apply if you have a pre-existing business relationship with the company. So the person who was having trouble with Qwest calling could ask to be placed on the list, but they could legally deny the request.
north america and the fat, lazy arrogant people who abide therein are getting rich at the expense of the poor from around the world
Since when did the world adopt a Zero-balance economy? I'm tired of hearing that the rich US is keeping the poorer nations down. The US is the economic power that it is through the work of its people. The US has an education system like no other. Perhaps if some of these Middle-Eastern nations spent money on education instead of weaponry and terrorism campaigns, their people may have a stronger economic standing.
That being said, we all know that the rulers of these nations will not allow that to happen, as when the people become educated, they will not tolerate the dictators and will no longer take the spoon-fed brainwashing that keeps these governments in power.

Or you haven't seen PDFCreator, which is an open source "printer driver" that does it for Windows
Why did this get modded down? That South Park episode directly dealt with Lucas and Spielberg redoing their classic movies.
It does if you extract with TyTool and play back with TyShow (or simply burn to DVD). Yes, it's not "out-of-box", but it's not exactly hard either.
It's also a government sponsored monopoly - not a multi-vendor competitive market. You can't pick your water company.
Price controls are warranted on government-created monopolies - not in the free market.

Not to mention that Microsoft was giving away copies of FrontPage 97 with copies of Windows NT 4.0.

I wholeheartedly agree. Perl is easy to use (developed for programmers by programmers) and quite powerful. Go grab the Camel Book now!
I wish the terrorists responsible for the attacks on thousands of innocent civilians had though of that earlier this week.

Let's keep up the crusade until we see an end to forged headers and subjects like "Re: our last conversation".
Be, which develops software and related services for Internet appliances and digital media applications
This gives a pretty good indication of what Palm was buying Be for.
