I suspect to see a Federal subsidy soon on ATSC TVs and tuner boxes.
Why?
Because locking out the poor and the stingy would not be beneficial to anyone in Congress, or to the President. Washington needs to be able to run its election campaigns; remember that the #1 purpose of your congressman is to keep his job.
WDS seems to be what you want. You just get WDS-compatible access points (Apple comes to mind, but there are others that escape me) and sets you up to use the Wireless Distribution System.
Well, to be fair, the time period for the game runs from about the fall of Rome to (with the expansion pack) the fall of Tenochtitlan. The Fall of Rome is usually pinned at AD 476, towards the end of the fifth century, and to that extent having a Germanic, rather than Celtic, language spoken in England isn't that bizarre...especially when you consider the full extent of the period, which reaches up past the Norman invasion and almost to Shakespeare's time. I think the dialect chosen was a pretty fair compromise.
One of the really cool things about Age of Empires II was how the people spoke appropriate languages; the Teutons, for example, spoke German, the Spaniards spoke an archaic dialect of Spanish, the Japanese and Chinese spoke their languages, the Saracens spoke Arabic, and so forth. And yes, the Britons spoke Old English, with a bit of Latin mixed in; the British monks speak all Latin in Age of Empires. In fact, most of the European languages represented in the game have a lot of Latin thrown in.
Wasn't always perfectly accurate -- most of the Byzantines would probably have been more comfortable in Greek than in always speaking Latin, but on the other hand, they were the eastern half of the Roman Empire and considered themselves Romans, so it isn't that far a leap. And hey, Latin's cool.
What is unfree about a standard? You don't go to Gitmo if you refuse the standard, or anything like that.
And what's negative about requiring support for RPM? It's GPLed free software -- doesn't cost you anything to add support for it if you want to be able to call yourself LSB certified.
You don't have to use the full functionality of Xcode for every project.
When I took my Intro to Computer Programming (basic C++) class in college, I started out using pico to edit my code, but then switched to vim for highlighting and the ability to save without quitting. Later in the semester I started using Project Builder (the predecessor to Xcode) just to edit my.cpp files, since they were one-file and I was better off compiling at the terminal anyhow.
Then I installed Panther, and for the final project in the class (with involved writing a multi-file program), I wrote the whole thing in C++ using Xcode. So no, Xcode is not too bulky for serious projects; I used it for my 1000-level homework.
The best way is to not worry about returning the drives under warranty, just buy a new one.
And as for the old one, a sledgehammer and a horseshoe magnet should do the trick. Beat the HE-double-hockeysticks out of the drive (or maybe just the removed platters, if you want to save some energy by unscrewing the case), and then pass a magnet over the fragments a few times in the hope that anything still left might be scrambled.
A solar death ray should be able to handle a hard disk too. 600 degrees Celsius should cut it, eh? Of course, it's cheaper just to shatter the platter with a sledgehammer.

Well, cable never has to buffer, and I'd venture to guess that more people have cable than decent broadband.
I probably won't be watching Current, though, because I haven't seen a compelling reason yet to get digital cable -- all it'd do is make my TiVo less reliable. I doubt it'll be on analog, so I'll just hit their website once in a blue moon.
How do you define a blog, and how does it differ from a frequently-updated website?
It'd be more easily enforcable (i.e. less loopholes) to apply such a regulation to all mass media, especially if preventing political bribery is your goal.
I just started doing calendar on my iPod.
And for Web, my iBook isn't that large, and at school I carry it anyhow.
I never tried the pro browser; I didn't feel like paying for something that by all means should have been included with the then-$500 PDA. when SSH works okay.
Back before my WiFi-equipped Palm immolated itself I usually surfed the web over SSH and Lynx. It adjusted better than the graphical browser that came with the PDA, which beyond suffering from the small screen was poorly coded with a tendency to crash.
Set up a rotary phone (or a clearly marked touchtone, preferably one that looks nothing like the ones hooked to Vonage -- you should be able to tell it instantly from your VoIP phones, even when you are under heavy stress. Red, maybe?) on your old landline if you switch to Vonage -- the phone company is required to provide you with 911 even if you don't have phone service on the line.
Or just keep your local phone service, and every phone in the house is really 911 capable -- that's what I do, and it works well with six phones. If you only have one phone hooked up for 911, it may be harder to get to a telephone when you're home alone having a heart attack and your cell phone is on the charger if you have one. I for one don't want to die because I wanted to save a few bucks and cut most or all of my house's phones off from 9-1-1, of all things. It'd be a humiliating way to go out, not having a working telephone.
Or alternatively, make sure that someone in your house has a working cell phone at all times; 911 is better than with Vonage, I believe.
DMCA or any other copyright law doesn't matter here -- in fact, the illegality of this is in a body of law far more simple than intellectual property: contracts.
When you get an iTunes Music Store account, you agree (in the Terms of Sale, an addendum to the Terms of Service), that: "You agree that you will not attempt to, or encourage or assist any other person to, circumvent or modify any software required for use of the Service or any of the Usage Rules."
This looks to be circumventing the software.

Because more people will have to pay for Windows, which costs too much, and therefore the poor and those not inclined to part with $100 for the stripped-down version of Windows will look for another way to get a free operating system -- legally, this time. It's well-known that most Linux distributions are available at no cost to the user except production of CDs or a DVD.
And that's the best thing I can say about Palladium -- the issues others have raised about backups et cetera seem pretty valid.
ANSI C, and likely C++ as well, will probably be compilable or easily modifiable to compilability well into the future.
Not being proprietary, so long as there is a demand for a compiler, one will be maintained. I don't know about Objective-C; it's a nonproprietary language but it is so associated with OPENSTEP and Cocoa that that whenever Apple quits using it, it'll pretty much be dead. But hey, since it's a superset of C, a bit of rewriting to standard C would be easier than converting VB to anything else.
I don't know what the main programming language of 2055 will be, but it'll probably be something that could be recognized in 2005 as a relative of C.

How do you define a blog, then, and separate it from a regularly updated website?
Political organization backing should need to be disclosed anywhere by anyone at any time.

It's for Linux, I think it comes with Fedora Core. Helps you with Latin forms, as I recall.
More likely they'll see who was downloading these unDRMed files in breach of contract and ban them all.

And I've never had a console.
I've been playing in 1280x1024 since 2001, when I got a Gateway computer with a TNT2 in it and a 17" monitor.
1280x720 is 720p HDTV, with 389,120 pixels less than 1280x1024, a relatively common PC resolution.
Ergo, HD console gaming isn't a big novelty, it's just catching up to what you can do with a PC or a Mac.
That's where Trusted Linux comes in -- I think Gentoo supports this stuff already.
A "trusted" OS for free, see?
Why is it good for Linux?

And that's the best thing I can say about Palladium -- the issues others have raised about backups et cetera seem pretty valid.
Linux can run on anything from a Zaurus or a TiVo all the way up to an IBM mainframe, and well. I'd have to call that pretty scalable.
