Read the story again. Stations can switch over any time they want during the 4 month period. Have all your ducks in a row and don't want to waste money? Go ahead and switch.
One of the local stations is switching to new frequencies and a new tower and had some delays getting all the new equipment they were buying. Now they've got it but they can't get it installed at the moment because it's the middle of the freaking winter here, and installing new equipment outside is a PITA when a foot of new snow fell in the past couple days.
Giving the 4 month window allows my local station to wait a few weeks for a window of good weather in the forcast to get all the new equipment set up easily and safely for their workers. If they want to delay a few weeks for ease and safety, letting them sounds like a good idea, doesn't it?
I was in the store in the early days of the coupon thing looking for digital tuners to compare. Best Buy and the other stores were totally out of them. If I gotten my coupons back then I might not have been able to get one because the coupons expire in 30 days.
Right now a lot of people have applied for coupons, but they are out. So although those folks took action and applied, they won't be getting one until the govt decides to print out another batch.
Wet subs aren't that uncommon, but they are generally propelled by electric motors, etc. They don't usually use human power. He's going to be working against the resistance of the water he's surrounded in. He'd have to do a LOT less work in a transoceanic journey if he was only fighting air resistance and not water resistance.
That would depend entirely upon the TV station. One of our local stations is planning on switching to a new tower with new equipment. The problem is, not all the equipment is in place, and up north, installing things outdoors in the dead of winter isn't the easiest thing to do if the weather isn't cooperating. They are already broadcasting on a temporary frequency from another tower, but they may well not be ready to switch over to their permanent tower and frequency by the date the govt has set.
Apparently you don't read much news or hear much either. Many newspapers have shut down recently, or gone to only printing a 2-4 days a week instead of daily. Newspapers are a dying media.
I have some local stations broadcasting at full power on antennas and frequencies they intend to stay on. Others not.
Here's one (local channel 3) broadcasting currently digitally on 2, which, as soon as they get new equipment installed, are planning on moving to a UHF frequency for better reception by folks...
Remember, MS makes a large fraction of their market from corporate users. Those corporations demand a 10 year lifetime for their operating systems. All MS's operating systems have at least security update support for 10 years. If MS moves away from that they will lose out on those corp accounts. As those corp accounts go, so do installs of the home machines of folks who work at those huge corps. People tend to like to use at home what they have at work. They are already familiar with it, and can do work from home more easily. Basically, cutting that 10 year support is suicide and MS knows it. They will never go with your step 1.
Step 2: Not doable. Period.
Please see corporate and home uptake of Vista rates. MS has to make their OS's work well on hardware a few years old if they want any meaningful sales at all.
Add in most folks already have a computer. And a lot of others have a 2nd computer. MS can't convince them to buy a 3rd or 4th for their home often enough to keep MS's sales rates what they once were. They just aren't losing that much market share. The market for computers is down for a variety of reasons.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the software does run fine in compatibility mode.
I wasn't looking into get into an argument about debating about getting licenses for old software vs other troubles like retraining staff, etc,etc.
Just pointing out your statement was wrong.
I'll help you out. He's not allowed to touch anything on a job site in without a REAL plumber there overlooking the work to make sure he does it right.
He's not a plumber. He's a plumber's assistant.
The guy handing a scalpel to a surgeon isn't a doctor just because he assists one.
At one time (the Renaissance) it was possible for one person to know all the science was known at the time.
It's hardly surprising that as we accumulate more and more knowledge it takes longer to learn disparate facts that might be needed to make a leap. And that a group might tend to bring that knowledge together when a single person might not have all of them alone.
2. one who is injured or killed in an accident: There were no casualties in the traffic accident. 3. any person, group, thing, etc., that is harmed or destroyed as a result of some act or event: Their house was a casualty of the fire. 4. a serious accident, esp. one involving bodily injury or death.
"Doesn't matter. Simply for engaging the candidate in a discussion, he was investigated by the media."
Really? Simply for that? Obama was asked questions by THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of people during the last 2 years campaigning. Thousands alone in each of the early states where they campaigned early and hard.
How many guys from Maine do you know all about from the media because they asked Obama a question? Answer: None
How many guys from Iowa do you know all about from the media because they asked Obama a question? Answer: None
This guy was investigated because McCain directly pointed him out no less than 5 separate times on a national debate shown on all the major channels.
Yes, a casualty.
Websters:
1. Military.
a. a member of the armed forces lost to service through death, wounds, sickness, capture, or because his or her whereabouts or condition cannot be determined.
b. casualties, loss in numerical strength through any cause, as death, wounds, sickness, capture, or desertion.
"but there's one subtle message that was not lost on me. If you stick your neck out and actually question the candidates, you will become an overnight celebrity whether you want to or not."
You know,
If Joe actually WAS a plumber, as he said he was, he wouldn't have taken so much heat.
If Joe actually WAS in a position to take over his boss's business, he wouldn't have taken so much heat.
If Joe's boss's company actually MADE as much profit as he said id did each year, he wouldn't have taken so much heat.
All in all, he made up a bunch of stuff to pretend to be in the tiny portion of the population that Obama's plan might not be good for.
I think the one not so subtle message is: don't lie your ass off trying to 'nail' someone with a question when you have a ton of cameras pointed at you.
"Joe" was a plant. I have little sympathy for him. He was brought up by McCain to try to be the example he couldn't actually find for some 'small guy' being screwed over by Obama's plan.
Don't you think it's just a tiny bit strange that the one person McCain uses as an example in the last presidential campaign, someone he brings up over and over, lied about everything about his situation? And out of the thousands and thousands of constituents Obama has talked to during the past two years of campaigning, this one guy just happens to be related to Keating, of the Keating Five Scandal?
Somehow I doubt his lies are due entirely to daydreams. He is related (by marriage) to Keating, of the Keating Five scandal. And old buddy of McCain's, and one of the skeletons in his closet. He was a plant.

"Why is everyone entitled to a coupon?"
Because the government sold a public resource, the airwaves, to private companies. The funds from that sale go to provide the money for the coupons.

That's the REAL story.
Some people took action, but didn't get one.

It varies entirely by station.

RAID is not a backup.
RAID is not a backup.
RAID is not a backup.
How do you restore an overwritten file from your RAID?
How do you restore it if a bugler steals the computer?
If a lightning strike takes out the power supply and attached drives?
RAID is not only 'not the be all and end all of backups", it's not a backup at all. It's a way to reduce down time.
Step 1: Not Doable. Period.

Install compatibility mode on Vista, and they ARE fully compatible.
PF is also much more readable than ipchains. Clarity in configuring usually results on more secure setups IMO.

The National Institutes of Health preclude you from building on other people's work?
He actually WASN'T a plumber. You do know that right? Being a plumber in Ohio requires a license. He didn't have one (ever).
My paste got cut off. Seriously.

I'm sitting here using Symantec 64-bit version on Server 2008 (essentially the same as Vista kernel), so I dont think your statement is 100% true.
