Here's another one from my GCSE chemistry textbook, it's stuck with me for 15 years or so...
Her lies Gillian still and placid,
Added water to the acid.
Clever Jane did as she oughta,
Added acid to the water.
HDTV equipment couldn't be made in the US for export, because no other country would want broadcast flag equipped products, ensuring the ongoing death of manufacturing in America.
Actually, that's not really relevant. As far as I know no-one outside the US uses or plans to use ATSC so your kit isn't exportable under any circumstances, with or without the broadcast flag.
My guess is that you're going to be waiting a very long time.
I use a Hauppauge Nova-T USB for watching digital TV (DVB-T) with Myth and have no problems. One added bonus of DVB-T is that the data comes ready MPEG-2 encoded.
The only PCI card I've bought in the last year is a USB 2.0 card, everything else I buy is USB these days (802.11g/printer/bluetooth/RF remote control are among this years purchases) and Linux gives me no problems with any of it.
There is most likely a group where you are, (organized by city), all over the world.
Looks great for North America, not so much for the rest of the world. London is the only city listed in the UK and Germany only has Berlin/Dusseldorf. In both cases the vast majority of people will be well outside the useful radius of this service.
Civil disobedience is a way of saying "I don't have a clue how democracy works. I just want it my way."
I disagree with your definition of civil disobedience. Traditionally civil disobedience has been someone saying, "I think this law is wrong so I am going to ignore it. I know there will be consequences and I accept them as the result of my actions. By doing so, I wish to raise the profile of this issue and hopefully influence other people to get the law changed".
Civil disobedience is the last refuge of the honest man. If the GGP truly believes what he wrote and the commons has been stolen by corporate America then as long as he is willing to accept the punishment for breaking the law as it stands what he does can be classed as civil disobedience. If he's merely spouting rhetoric to justify being a cheapass then it's not.
Henry David Thoreau and Rosa Parks would disagree with your reasoning, something being illegal does not make it wrong nor does it mean you shouldn't do it. I am not going to comment on the RIAA issue and whether it constitutes civil disobedience but civil disobedience itself is an important part of an evolving free culture.
While I personally agree with the sentiment behind the statement, there aren't actually laws governing theft, it's just an adjective.
That's incorrect, theft and larceny are synonyms for one another. Both UK law and US law have similar definitions, I believe yours varies slightly from state to state but the basic structure is the same (I've supplied references to state legislatures in the past on this topic but Google is failing me at the moment).
A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it
Infection spread is a reality in the hospital. You try to prevent it, but it happens, and off of ANY surface, not just keyboards. Unfortunately, these bugs are out in the community as well... most of the MRSA I see walks right in the front door, often in young people who have never spent a day in the hospital.
A little over a decade or so ago I worked for a year in an RAF hospital as a theatre/CSSD muppet (first job out of school and I loved it). Patients (some or all, I never knew but I think it was mainly those transferred from civilian hospitals) were tested for MRSA. The one time a test was positive a set procedure kicked in and all linens used during the op were burnt, instruments were destroyed, the bedding used by the on call staff was destroyed, and the medics involved in the op were banned from the hospital for 48 hours.
I'm not a medic so don't know how effective any of that was (especially destroying the instruments, I'd have thought our autoclaves down in CSSD were capable of dealing with them quite effectively) but it was the only case we ever had and that came from an external source.
Of course, being military our budget was a little higher than the average hospital:)
He hardly "Came along", if I remember right he wrote most of rsync and was the initial author of (and is still a major developer of) Samba. Devising and reverse engineering protocols is what he does.
Not really, one of the reasons LynxOS was chosen was because of it's Linux ABI. This is significant because it indicates Linux is an important part of the overall FCS.
I run a small server for my own webhosting/mail and that of a few friends. I use Exim4 as the MTA and route everything through Spamassassin/ClamAV after the DATA phase. Anything with a spam score above 15 is rejected, likewise anything ClamAV picks up. According to the little script I wrote to analyse my mail logs (output below) about 30% of my spam is being rejected at the SMTP level instead of me having to download it (I only set this up about 3 weeks ago though so it's still experimental).

Maybe he is not a mad man, but actually a very wise man.
He's both, he's an insane genius. In 20 years time we'll all be saying "We should have listened to RMS". At times he can appear petulant but if I'd been spent a couple of decades warning people about non-free software and been derided while been proved right time and again I'd probably not be a happy bunny either.
One day we'll listen to him BEFORE things start to go all runny but that will probably cause the universe to end.

The point is freedom, not lack of cost.

So? All that says is that uniqueness is a binary property.

No, it's a proprietary OS with a Linux ABI.

September started in 1993 and should have ended in January this year. Google, however, seem determined to extend it even longer.
Subselects were added 2 years ago in 4.1. It's not their fault that half the cheapass webhosts on the net still run 3.x.
Only an American would think that, any Brit would know it stands for "Corporation".
It's also a Bradford if it's shaken, not a martini.
The original British cliche was, "I couldn't care less" and is still used over here. The nonsense bastardisation is a purely US construction.
