Cable companies pay a lot of money to the broadcasters for the right to carry their content... Even 'free to air' channels get per-user licensing fees.
This is an attempted (broadcaster initiated) government regulation of a natural evolutionary process - revenue lost from advertising revenue will simply end up coming through increased per-subscriber content licensing fees (ie higher cable rates)

Memories to back in the tiny, almost experimental UNIX lab with Sun IPCs and IPXs...
Along the same lines as the Chinese Government adopting Linux, wouldn't it be a nice Microsoft remedy to see Linux adopted within the US Government as well.
What about Radius?? Radius is perfect for handling multiple providers / authentication points and can run off mysql, ldap, flat files or whatever the particular authentication point decides to use.
It's also good because it is trivial to allow particular authentication domains while rejecting others.
Damn.. hit the submit button instead of preview.. meant to say that Scott exercised his shares last year and made 20 million. Looks like the privacy-concerned (note sarcasm) NSA was sweet to him last year.
Ok.. we know for a fact the NSA is a big fan and spends a lot of money at Sun (although they are not allowed to disclose how much of their income comes from the NSA)
We know that Echelon is out there spying on everyone anyway. That's a lot of E10000 and massive disk arrays.
Scott wants to sell more stock:

There are linux utils for working with firewire - specifically to a mini-DV device. Why can't we just change what we send the writing tool data out of tar or cpio?

IMHO Asimov had a few ideas that should become fundamental laws whenever self-preservation and even self-defence play a part in robotics:
First Law:
A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law:
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law:
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
A Google Search on the laws brings up some interesting papers on the subject or another link on AI in robotics here
That's where the real money is
hahahaha that's funny

Of course we all sucked..

Why is this a distinction? Do we want to drop all charges against Milosovich because he's 'not actively killing anyone' anymore?
You Americans have no statute of limitations so why should this matter? You're simply protecting your own and not supporting other nations (ie France)
Maybe a CE-based PDA mounted to the dashboard.
The small touchscreen would be handy and the device is solid-state so shouldn't be affected too badly by all the wobblin' around.
I'm missing something...
How does this article really relate to technology issues or gadgets and neat stuff out there
Capitalism is bad, no Capitalism is good, whatever... I'll read about it in the Village Voice... not Slashdot.
What an exciting opportunity for Sun to achieve a large market for its StarOffice suite.

I'm a big Sun fan though.. don't get me wrong.

Notice the article talks about having to streamline the processor where a 5% performace cost equates to a 2x die size savings!
Why should Microsoft stop building "bloatware" and be efficient in its code when at the basic hardware level, Intel does the same... sheeesh!
