Use CableCard devices for most of your channels. And get an HD-PVR for those channels that are restricted. Cable boxes will have component video output for quite some time.
This strategy generally works. However, not when you think the primary purpose of a TV is for sports. For those that don't watch sports, why would you have a TV subscription at all?
I want to add that this will become my recording server in the near future. I will have 2+ clients for 2+ TVs that stream video from the server. All wireless. I am already able to stream video to my phone...which works in the house (server not restricted by Internet upload speeds).
I have used PCHDTV, Hauppauge PVR-350, HD-PVR, and now InfiniTV. I have had TimeWarner, WOW, Cox, and now Comcast.
With Cox, it was analog (yes, I've been using MythTV since 2003). No problems, obviously. Other than the stability of MythTV on Gentoo.
With WOW, it was analog (PVR-350). I was also able to use firewire to the cablebox and capture the HD stream. I actually contributed some code to MythTV when getting this to work. Then WOW cut that loophole off. It was great: only the cost of a firewire card/cable.
With TW, HD-PVR worked. PVR-350 worked until it got fried by lightning. PCHDTV worked for analog only. I could not get HD, even broadcast channels, for the life of me. HD-PVR is the big savior here. Because it uses the CableCard/decryption in the cable box and captures the analog component video, it ALWAYS works. I had switched to Mythbuntu by this time.
With Comcast, my PCHDTV stopped working...like it got fried. HD-PVR, as usual, works for everything. I then bought Ceton InfiniTV and got a CableCard. Now I can record most channels (all but premium like Encore/HBO). And it has 4 tuners. Meanwhile, the HD-PVR keeps chugging away. I lowered its priority and inserted a custom rule in MythTV. So it is only used to record Encore and like channels...or if I am TV happy and need to record 5 things at once.
In short. You can't go wrong with HD-PVR. The only problem is the cost for just a single tuner.
Then you haven't worked for large companies or in the "right" area. There are lines of business that literally want a head count for the sake of employing people. Maybe they want unnecessary expenses to keep their profit margin at 10%...and when revenues go down, they know just who to get rid of to keep the profit at 10%. Kind of like SoftReference in Java.
No, it means "available to work 24/7/356". It also means you could work less than 40 hours.
I got a "promotion" to be salaried and turned it down. If I am going to work over 40 hours, then they are going to pay me for it. And for managers that want me to charge 40 hours, even if I did 41 or 42, I ignore them and charge the real time. When they reject it, I do it again. I am not going to lie. If they insist, I will tell someone who cares that my manager wants me to lie.
I recommend an option for remote viewing. I have TightVNC on her system and trained her on how to open the ports in the router to let me in. This way I can do just about anything...as long as she doesn't have connection problems.
In some instances she has run into connection problems. For those, she needs to know where the router/routers are located. And on them, put post-it notes as to where to unplug/plugin to restart the router.
A good API reference is much better for input/output documentation when kept up-to-date. With a search on Stack Overflow, you rarely know the exact version of the API and could be misled as to the way something functions. API references are version specific and if kept up-to-date, give a firm answer to the basic functional questions.
I see a lot of documentation, but most of it is useless. I don't care about the package structure or class diagrams. I can generate those on my own if I need them. I want a high level description of what was trying to be accomplished and why certain paths were chosen to solve the issue. That includes why other paths were not chosen.
As far as API documentation...it is the best form of documentation around the development world. At least it gets to the point...parameters, exceptions, and return values. For something like JavaDoc, package-info.java needs to be used much more often.
However, use cases are best searched for online. Optimally, all use cases are documented and regression testing executes them during every deploy. That way all problems, or potential problems, have an example. That would be optimal, but never really happens. Not unless a company and the developers are willing to spend the time to cover all the bases.
It depends on what you are using it for. PHP is great for sites with a very small number of pages. There are no bad languages, just languages being misused.
Morse Code is a great language for certain purposes. But you don't use it when speaking to someone in person. Baby talk is a great language for certain purposes. But you don't use it in a meeting with your bosses.
Yet it happens all the time. You can start with the pyramids; the bent pyramid is an example where they changed the design halfway through. How about some Italian domes? Look at the gothic support structures because of what they learned. You can look at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. World Trace Center towers. The Wright Brothers certainly used trial and error.
You avoid errors by following procedure that was put in place to avoid mistakes (trials) of the past.
The budget is $3.94t. Only 25% is affected by the sequestration. Therefore the affected budget is $985b. With a cut of $85b, that would result in a 8.6% decrease in the targeted area.
It is a massive skewing and rounding to make it seem as horrific as possible. However, it does bring to life the real cut experienced by the 25% affected by it. It ignores why the other 75% wasn't considered. There is plenty of waste there too.
As crazy as it sounds, if we pay it off then Treasuries disappear. The "safe" investment will have to change to corporate bonds, bonds of other countries with debt (I guess like China buying our debt), or...real estate?:-)
I think it is a great idea for the US to have no debt. Investments will be real again.
You need to have a allow/deny policy-like control where you can include facial recognition. The default setting would be deny-all and then you can add people one-by-one.
It was proven when the climate shifted from the Medieval warm period to the Little Ice Age. Well, it was shown that as it gets colder there is less food available. It is kind of hard to grow food when there is no summer (1816: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer ). And it contributed greatly to the Starving Time of the Jamestown settlement (1609: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starving_Time_(Jamestown) )

And yet they have people who strip down naked arrested. What is the difference between the empty bottle and a man's underpants?

And I am not joking.
The 0.75 horu minute commute is nothing compared to the 20.5 hour work day
It is a great language for the purpose of which it was created. And it wasn't created for productivity.

A decompiler is sometimes the only or best documentation. You have to weigh your options.

I think the GP, in a very unclear way stated:
The budget is $3.94t. Only 25% is affected by the sequestration. Therefore the affected budget is $985b. With a cut of $85b, that would result in a 8.6% decrease in the targeted area.
It is a massive skewing and rounding to make it seem as horrific as possible. However, it does bring to life the real cut experienced by the 25% affected by it. It ignores why the other 75% wasn't considered. There is plenty of waste there too.
But how much of the $70t is the result of fractional reserve banking?

In 1995, it took hours to download a few MBs. I don't see the digital music business ever working out, let alone videos and movie streaming.
