TiVo used to be a "se halba everything" solution with podcasts coming in from CNET/TWIT/Revision3 but that's been replaced by cable on-demand offerings... seens llike you need to add a Roku or similar to absorb everything.
PATRIOT Act (spell it in all caps, it was an acronym) was passed in the dark period when news was too busy reporting 9/11 damage, and therefore there was no notice to the public that it was going to pass. Congress was smart and sunset the law... so anybody who now says "I can under the PATRIOT Act" needs to be told they lost their citation.
The Clipper Chip was never developed, it was just discussed by Sen. Al Gore in Washington... and it caused law enforcement types to go crazy. Everybody wants encryption for commerce and themselves, but government wants to intercept everything so they can review and then create charges. SSL went SOL years ago... time for something new on all sides.
The mistake is that the cable companies paid hundreds of dollars for each box that now is woth $80.
Want a good STB? Get a TiVo that was manufactured recently. Those have plenty of margin on them, because all of the other competition seems to have folded.
This is a communist idea... giving everybody some money just for living in their zone, with no work required. There's still some reward for working, but most people can get by without a job. This doesn't sound very stable to me, but Greece has always had a fluctuating currency and their main source of GDP has been American bailouts.
Refining is the process of getting dirt, sand, and other things that are not oil out of oil found in the ground... it doesn't add energy, it just purifies the matter into something that burns into nothing.
Gasoline has a smell because sulfur is intentionally added so it isn't confused with water. All cooking oils have smells illegal to use on the road added so they're cheaper than engine fuel.
There's an interesting comparison between Trump and Nye... they both work by presenting ideas that are developed by other people.
Trump didn't create The Apprentice, he was just hired to be the on-air face. He hardly worked on the show, he just showed up then asked the people surrounding him about the most recent contest, and had the task of announcing who was out of the game.
Nye isn't a researcher, he's a promoter of 8th-grade level science concepts. He asked teachers all of the nation to submit lessons, and the show was him showing off the interesting ways to present such things.
If we wind up with Trump as president, ideas posted on Slashdot could become law quickly.
Nye started as an actor on Almost Live, a Seattle-based series that wound up on Comedy Central. His "Science Guy" character demonstrated basic science-is-fun ideas. This turned into the PBS/Disney series "Bill Nye the Science Guy", and he was surrounded by ideas from teachers all over the place. His latest book is about creationism vs. evolution.
The three-way race in the Republican side, plus the dead-heat tie in the Democratic side means that both nominations are going to be up for debate at the conventions.
The Democrats allow non-directly-elected "super delegates" to vote, meaning it must be wide margin in the primaries in order for the nomination to be locked up in advance. The super delegates are not bound to either candidate, and will be enough to overturn the popular vote.
The 40-30-30ish split in the Republican primaries means that one of the lower two candidates could throw their support over to the other one creating a 60-40 win upending the current leader. This could lead the the third place candidate becoming the nominee. despite the popular vote.
Votes matter, but it's politics that decide the winners.
Yep, we used to have Bill Nye reachable by calling his name on Slashdot. His TV show has aged off the air, but he's still a good commentator on science topics.
Set-top boxes were built too-soon by companies hoping Digital Cable would have been more popular. Therefore, most have low-end chips that were high-priced back then, now they're obsolete leading to the unacceptable performance.
It's been a while since one has stepped up, so it's hard to tell what would happen today... back then the only women who could claim to be women needed protection such as a TV network or podcast worth of security. We had some women run the LostCluster'sGirlfriend account while dating me, and the flirtations didn't come because it was clear they'd offend me.
It's really an invalid form of argument to let cuteness win, that was tried with the team claiming to be Aimee Deep of AIMster and didn't go very far.
It's a step backward for women's rights movements, but they just can't be allowed to keep that under the rules of fairness.

Rovi and TiVo were overlapping companies in the IP world... Apple would have needed Rovi's help if it acquired TiVo.
Macrovision was best known for a plot to block VHS recordings by placing a white block at a certain location...
That was the offer of IMAP... just leave it all on the server. See what that brings us?
Uhm, that's a 404.
You don't shut Comcast down, you spin off NBCU and the problem is solved.
Anybody want to look up why Comcast and NBCUniversal merged?
Yep, remember the 40-bit vs. 128-bit encryption browsers.

Law isn't the only way to get a minimum wage to exist... competition for workers can set a high floor value too.

He didn't have an contrary-interest sponsors on TV... his show mainly ran on PBS and had a short run in syndication to commercial stations.
His Bill Nye the Science Guy TV Show is still available on Amazon... he may not have much of a research credential but he's still a TV teacher.

Batteries are a power transfer system, not naturally occurring fuel.

I wonder, was the FIOS/Samsung partnership broken by not working, or by Comcast's checkbook?
In a related development, Roku TV and Samsung Smart TVs have integrated a Comcast set-top box into the TV set....
