A big problem is a lot of people think the world can work in some type of utopian harmony. The sooner they understand it can't the better.
On the other hand, making money under the guise of public safety is both wrong and dangerous. You have the right to face your accuser. Ever wonder why in the US you don't get a criminal charge for a ticket? The ticket is trivial to fight for ones in the US and the more people that fight them make these cameras unprofitable. They have also been uninstalled because they are just stupid in a lot of places.
people in at my work cannot use the new version of microsoft office, because microsoft randomly changed everything. Don't think people are as hung up on the branding as you think.
I still use MythTV and it is everything I need and other options don't offer many of the features. The killer feature is it automatically skips commercials without even needing a button press. And you can configure menu items to launch other applications like XBMC or a browser to launch netflix streaming. IMHO, still the best solution there is for HTPC.
anyone doing any kind of business that generates real money should get setup with credit card processing or some type of real bank. On top of randomly screwing people, paypal also nickle and dime people to death. Never will use paypal again.
you should just do that anyway. People that are pushing this are doing it for free money, might as well let them know now that your are not going to buy their real product as long as they continue to champion stuff like this.
then these people have nothing to worry about privacy. The internet will be carved up into a unusable CompuServe like mess with nickel and dime plans similar to the crap cable tv bundle plans by the telecoms.
actually most of the change was to allow auto submitting of stories from big publishers/companies. They basically changed digg into a paid for RSS ad service. If you hated the gaming of the old site digg I am sure you just stopped using the new site digg all together. No one goes to a website to read ads.
The problem is you expect that the telecoms would act in your best interests. They don't care about you.
And Net Neutrality is to keep the internet like it is today and prevent a corporate takeover, which would more or less be regulation and worse.

I vote they are a 3 year old.
install myth on windows and you can play netflix. Or get a roku box for $100.
Second, a mouse is infinitely better in your living room than a remote.
you must have the most uncomfortable couch on the planet if you can use a mouse on it.

only if you accept a bad deal from a card processor. Just like credit cards, there are good ones and bad ones.

Murdoch supporting north korea proves it.

and going back to their successful business model would be a good first step.

you must not have visited the site since the upgrade. People are not stupid.

digg has chased all their users away with the new version of their site so they could probably change over to MS Access and be ok.

Military spending is out of control, this program should be killed.
if you eventually die anyway.
you must not have used windows 7 yet. It is like driving with a par-scope compared even to windows xp.
unless google develops a better codec, which is probably why mpeg la decided to have a royalty moratorium.
which is acting in a monopolistic fashion. Collusion is illegal, hence a monopoly.
actually they are illegal.
they are a monopoly and certainly do not help the Artists they say that are representing.
