You have a blank slate. Do it right with fibre optics everywhere. Set these people right from the start. Don't cripple them by putting in tech from the 1950s or 1980s.
Welp, good thing I own my own router. Oh wait, there's probably Counsel here that could explain that even that device can be 'compelled' to provide the WiFi service too >.>
I wish them luck in this venture... they're going to need it with a market that already has widely accepted semi-user-friendly devices (Amazon Kindle, Sony eReader, etc).
Also, haven't they learned their lesson already in other markets? Publisher (content-owner) friendly rarely ever is accepted by the marketplace as it wasn't designed with the end user (the people PAYING for this "service").
...works great for me. I have my EV-DO Kyocera KPC680 (Verizon) card with me everywhere and a Kyocera KR2 camps out in the car with its requisite DC-DC power adapter. Install a nice high-gain antenna (Wilson [eBay] has some decent +9/+13dB gain antennas for EV-DO/1xRTT and GSM/W-CDMA/UMTS bands) on the roof of the RV and make sure you have a decent groundplane if your roof is fiberglass (no worries if it is aluminum) and you should be fine for something like 95% of US roads traveled (you will drop to 1xRTT/EDGE in some areas, but 3G (EV-DO/W-CDMA/UMTS) is pretty well covered on most interstate routes, based on Verizon and at&t's service maps).
For Canada... I'm not too sure there as I'm a Yank and have not had a need to visit our friends to the north yet. You might be able to get a roaming data plan that includes Canada from your US cellular provider though.
FWIW, I work for Kyocera International, parent company of Kyocera Wireless.
Actually, it's Dell as a whole. I recently put in a call to Dell for support on a Latitude D820 that now fails to boot. It's covered under warranty for another year but Dell refuses to work on it because I'm not listed as the purchaser or authorized agent for the system. My business bought this system through an employee (via a reimbursement) who no longer works with the organization. I don't have any reasonable way to have this ex-employee 'vouch' that I own the system.
Whatever happened to the days where I could just give them my Express Service Code and actually get help instead of getting accusations of theft?
Since when was normal body temp 96F? Google-sama (and years of misspent youth in health and science classes) tell me it's 98.6F.... unless we've started a new branch of cold-blooded humans, consisting mainly of politicians and murderers...
You don't just magically become General. They have things called "ranks" and you have to move up them in order to get to that coveted Major General (Maj Gen, two-star) rank.
My point is that you have to start as a grunt in the military in order to move up in rank in the military.

T9 is not a chording keyboard system. T9 takes each individual keypress of the numeric keypad and checks it against a dictionary of known words that can be spelled from that series of keys. Chording means that you press one or more keys at the same time to in effect replicate every individual key from a keyboard layout of your choice.

That is their corporate headquarters.
Also, they will be moving into the UC Irvine campus out in the industrial park area off California, if I remember right. For all I know, they could be moved already. Right now they have three buildings on Alton (main campus) and they have a handful more off Discovery (when you pass by Tia Juana's on I-5 South past Barranca(?), you've gone too far).
But, no, I do not believe 'protesting' in person will help any. It won't help anymore than the woman who protests the US/Iraqi war/conflict by squatting in front of Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.
And like many before me, what is so special about MythDora? If I want to do a MythTV install I'll use the iMedia distro (SFF / small install footprint) or KnoppMyth.
according to SMART it had about a hundred thousand hours on the clock
You do know that 100,000 hours is a shade over 11 years, right? Remember the IBM 60GXP-series Deathstars? That was in 2001, about the time when 100GB+ drives were getting hot and bleeding edge on the market. My math tells me that's only been 6 years at most.
I could possibly buy 50,000 power-on hours (5.8 years continuous uptime), but not around 100,000.

100 meters if you are doing Ethernet, that is.

And IIRC, the Twiddler was designed in the USA.

I'm surprised this was not mentioned, yet a full-qwerty layout on-wrist keyboard was.
And the Twiddler has a TrackPoint, which is IMHO better than a trackball in a mobileesque application (a hit on the game pad chording 'keyboard').
They do have a Geek Squad wanna-be cult... It's called "FireDog", last I heard.
I guess they just lost the chance in getting my money.
Well, I take that back, they never had a chance at getting my money.
If I prove that I'm insane, can I build a nano-Googleplex in my basement with their old hardware?
Ascend, Livingston and Lucent are pretty much the same nowadays...
Ascend MAX and Portmaster 3's for the win!

When I was a VZW customer that would be right, but I've since seen the light of GSM-based providers. :3
iMedia MythTV is made out of box for the PVR350 cards, and to my knowledge, it supports video out from the card. http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/it.A/id.421/.f

It's 'cantina' not 'cantena'. I think someone's noggin has been fried by their use of a cantenna.
