HDTV on a computer monitor for $399 seems like it defeats the purpose. A good analog signal looks great on a VGA monitor. HDTV really only shines when the image is on a big screen. But if you really want to put HDTV on your computer monitor I would check out the gnu Radio project which has been mentioned here numerous times and try HD for a little effort rather than $399.
This is attrocious, lotteries are basically gambling. (I know, don't buy it or use it, but it's often not that easy for someone who is addicted) This is like targeting kids with cigarettes, get them hooked young and you have a customers for life.
I know some might argue that lotteries contribute to worthy state programs but I think the longterm consequences (yet another addiction) should seriously be considered. If they do produce a game don't target it at kids and make it obvious what it is -- a vehicle to get you to play the lottery more often!
It's nice to see reason prevail against corporate tyranny. We can only hope that this is the first in a long list of successes against an unreasonble set of laws that make up the DMCA.
Let's hope that there are not a string of appeals that that just ultimately drain the resources of ElcomSoft.

Well at least the out of work gold farmers and character levelers have a new career opportunity.
