The difference is that when you get a safety recall, only those things related to the safety recall are fixed (replaced). You get a security update for Windows and without a lot of time and effort to understand what all is rolled up in that patch, heaven only knows what else (telemetry?) you are getting.
I have been a Dish Network customer for over 6 years, and prefer it over cable. I have an 80 Gb PVR with my system, and get 180 channels for under $45/month. The signal used to go out (but only during HEAVY rain) with the older systems, but since I upgraded to their 500 network, I cannot recall a single outage.
The only drawback with the DSS systems is that local channels may not be available (or if they are available, will run you an extra $5 per month)
From what I have seen, the DSS and cable companies offerings are pretty much equal. it really will boil down to what channels you want, at what price each service offers that selection, and then the service of those companies. Dish had soem serious growing pains a few years ago, but they seem to mostly be over them (or I have just gotten used to them).
My local cable company (TWC - who provides my internet access at home) has a terrible track record for billing issues, and if DSL were available where I live, I would dump TWC in a heardbeat soi that I don't give them any more money.
COMPAQ has been falsely advertiseing laptop specs for at least 5 years. I purchased a Presario Laptop from them in 1998 that was advertised as having Xoom Video support (even the tech sheet says that it did), but it did not.
COMPAQ was TOTALLY unresponsive to my complaints on this issue. So they basically lost me as a customer at that point.
The University project should file for TM status as well. After the Red Hat TM application is reviewed, it is published for "public comment" -- at that time the University project should point out (if not beforehand) that the name in question has been in use for 5+ years in the same area, thus superceding the RedHat claim.
would need to, since Google does not use the robots.txt file, but instead mandates that you setup a META tag to tell 'scooter' to not traverse the site.
Sorry guys -- You burned me once... I had just paid for a nice 3 year subscription, and received 2, maybe 3 issues after that, then nothing. Not even a notice saying "Sorry, we went belly up."
On an internal web site, I put a feature that
if you clicked the company logo 3 times within
0.5 seconds, you would see a "credits" page
(similar to the scrolling cretis at the end
of a TV show).
In order to keep the the page hidden from the boss types around, it was given an innocent name (like "showorder") and had to be unencrypted by the web server software.
That page also turned your cursor into an atom
with a bunch of spinning/flashing electrons. It worked on both IE & Netscape.

Maybe, but once your power goes out, your cable connection is gone too... with a generator, your DSS will work just fine.

tried to get that one year, but my wife was very insistant that she NOT get me that.

Yes, the OS will need to support it.
Just think how cool it will be when you get your first 3-D BSOD.
