I thought this was total bunkum just because of the storage requirements but after a few (very rough) calculations based on my experience with mythtv and recording freeview I'm not so sure now.
There are 30 channels, of these 21 are 24hr and I'll assume the rest are 12hr making 25.5 24hr streams.
There are 3 shopping channels so ditch them making 22.5 streams.
Recording on myth each of these streams is approx 1.3Gb/hr, if you don't care too much about the picture quality compress this to ~400M/Hr.
So, that's 9Gb/hr, 216Gb/day and 6480Gb/month. I don't think I'd be too far off by saying that 50% of all the shows are repeats that have been shown earlier in the day/week/month so cut that figure in half and you end up with a requirement of 3240Gb of storage which is "only" 11 300Gb disks.
It certainly looks like you could do this with a multiple backend myth setup with a DVB card for each multiplex (once you can record a whole multiplex at a time) so I'm not as sceptical as I was.
I'm not saying it would be particularly quiet or energy efficient though.
So this guy's bank didn't issue a one time password keyring, even though other banks so, and also didn't give him automated text messages on transactions, even though other banks do means that he doesn't have a leg to stand on?
Banks must be the expert group on online banking and if they avoid using sufficient technology to safeguard their customers (where other banks do) I would think they were remiss in their duties.
Look half way down at the "Copyright Laws" bit, the patent office is reviewing it at the moment but missed their Spring deadline for going out to consultation.
I emailed my MP on Thursday about this and was amazed when I received a personal written reply yesterday. While agreeing with me in general she said there was nothing she could do, here's the last paragraph.
"This particular Satatutory Instrumeny is being put forward under the Regulation od Investigatory Powers Act 2000. As the Act has already been passed, the instrument will not be discussed be the whole House of Commons. It will be discussed by a Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation on the 18th June and as I am not a member of that comittee I will not be able to vote on the instrument. You can be sure, however, that the views you express will be represented within what will be a lively debate before the decisions are taken."
So unless your MP is in this committee, I can't find a way of getting a list of members, or they are willing to lean on someone they know that is on it there's diddly squat we can do about it.
Don't you love living in a democracy.

The hyperthreaded capacity was actually 390 so a 3% gain.

Big difference mod chips don't harm people but ak47's do.
I don't feel guilty about running mythtv on my xbox but if the Register is to be believed I'm now a criminal.
I cant die if I screw up my Tivo.
But your girlfriend may kill you if Sex & the City's not recorded.
Well I suppose they might as a stop gap until the UK's full version of the DMCA is passed.
