I have no idea what you're talking about, and I wonder if you do too. I hooked up my $30 amplified Philips antenna to my TV and got analog 3 channels, all full of static. I can tune in 9 digital channels, all perfectly clear and during some programming, in HDTV goodness with surround sound. All with the same antenna that after positioning once hasn't been moved since. I even get a program guide!
How far are you from the towers? Have you looked at tvfool.com to help align your antenna?
Between mwave.com and newegg.com I don't think you can go wrong. You just need to be sure to get good components, don't be lured into the cheapest stuff around. Everyone has their own anecdotal evidence but I have had bad luck with ABIT boards after a few years. I built a number of ABIT based systems and on everyone of them the chipset fan failed in a year. Now I'm getting boards that simply die.
I like my Intel board I have at home, but you can't overclock and it is picky about ram. Just depends on what you need I guess.
I live in an area where everything is buried. We very rarely lose power and when we do it is for a very short period of time. The area where I work is older, everything is above ground on poles. We loose power more frequently there.
I'm not sure I follow what your saying about lightening damage either.
I have no idea why parent is scored so low because the HDHomerun is a really good device.
I'll throw out a recommendation for the HDHomerun, sensitivity is pretty good. You get two tuners that work well with a lot of different software including MythTV, MediaPortal, Windows MCE, Mac and even straight up streaming to VLC. The VLC streaming does work, but way it is done is extremely hacked together. If someone would take the time to do so, you could get a nice VLC based way to watch TV.
Other than that, I would recommend a good amplified antenna but you don't even have to bust the bank on that. I paid less than $30 for my amp'd phillips antenna and I get great results. One of the towers is 40 miles away and I still get a great signal.
As posted elsewhere, it is difficult to divide a project up that is really pretty linear. Instead, you should try to do more jobs at once. Encode four videos at once.
Sounds like you are trying to spread FUD. I'm a Linux guy but I'm also a Mac guy and Windows guy. I use them all. In my 8 years of running Windows in a medium organization...I've never "repaired the registry." I also find Active Directory and Group Policy to be fantastic. You can install cygwin to get your proper shell fix but even PowerShell isn't all bad compared to command/cmd. I also find our handful of Windows Server 2003 boxes to be reliable.
As for development, I prefer to develop on Linux for Linux but it's really whatever you're comfortable with.
Ok, to be completely serious you'd probably recompress the music again, only to reduce quality further. What you speak is possible and is with any music "service."
You are absolutely right. I can't believe that after all these years of "telnet is bad", "use ssh" that FTP is as popular as it is. I can get an FTP account to my hosting provider but not a shell. Is there a place for FTP?, yea but in this day and age that place is almost always taken up with HTTP anyway. FTP might be incrementally more efficient, but the ease of HTTP overrides it. FTP should be GONE.
I think it's possibly a bad idea if ads like adsense are used. It then becomes possible for people to edit entries to favor or mention them and have ads start showing up for them on those pages. Such a situation will create a lot of havoc.

I don't get it, but lucky for me he doesn't either

I didn't RTFA but if they are spec'ing Vista then there isn't even a telnet client installed by default!

That's good to know, thanks
With even worse quality. I don't get it
The systems are still 12v based, as far as I know, which don't hurt you. Also note that volts alone don't kill, it's combination of volts+amps.
Wouldn't you rather watch the show in it's correct aspect ratio than worry about that 1/3 of screen your not using?
Not at all, I literally mean four different movies. So four 100 minute movies, one for each core.

Many don't understand it
My cell phone can crop pics too but that doesn't make it a computer worth using.
We don't perfect greener alternatives so long as there is an easy fix in place. Nuclear seems like an easy fix.
I just verified this, you have to open the file in the office app directly. Office Live is nothing more than a way to transfer files between people.
Do you truly use Evolution daily or do you just know that it exists? I find Evolution to be, mediocre at best.
If they didn't install it you'd piss and moan that iTunes can't find other iTunes shares.
I'm surprised Bonjour hasn't been used to more success by other software vendors.
Well that would just be unethical...

I love my IronKey. The only improvement it needs is a better cap design or slide out casing.

Except that all HDTVs have upscalers in them already...of varying quality.
I'm kinda crappin' my pants here man. I took your advice and they DID prove it, your advice has never let me down before so what should I do now?
