But a used TiVo with an intact lifetime subscription should be worth at least $100-150 more on the secondary market than one without, shouldn't it? It was always my understanding that the lifetime subscription was transferrable (since, as you point out, it's for the life of the unit).
ARPANET was developed before Gore even graduated college.
Where are you going with this?
...and how many consumers were using ARPANET when Gore was in college? I think that's where he was going - there's a difference between "creating the internet" and "facilitating an internet economy" (which is what I wish Gore had claimed to have done).
However, coal power plants release more radioactive waste into the enviroment than nuclear power plants and still provide most of the power in the US.
True, if you only consider what is legally released into the environment while the nuclear plant is operating. If you consider the fission byproducts and their "disposal" (e.g. long term storage) then this isn't true. Yucca Mountain nonwithstanding, the problems associated with nuclear waste may not be worth the benefit (and I'm a nuclear-trained engineer).
The threat of a three-year prison term kicks in when anyone makes an illicit copy of a movie "available on a computer network accessible to members of the public," when the film "was intended for commercial distribution but had not been so distributed at the time." Once the film is commercially distributed, the felony penalties appear to no longer apply.
Just because the domain expired doesn't mean it's up for grabs.
According to the linked article, it was up for grabs:
A spokeswoman for Nominet UK - the registry for all.uk domains - confirmed that hotmail.co.uk had failed to be renewed and was placed back into pool of available domains.
For Nominet's part, she confirmed that "all the standard renewal procedures were followed regarding hotmail.co.uk".
"I would like to remind companies and their agents that it is their responsibility to renew their domains," she said.
The online version, while cheaper, only does the "interview" and doesn't allow you to directly enter data onto the forms. Example: The interview section on "Other Taxes" omits several nuisance taxes ("employment privilege" and the like). With the "real" version I can just go to the itemized deductions form and add that in after the interview. With the online version I'm forced to lie in the charitable contributions section to get the same deduction...
IMO, it would help out the scientific community immensely if we were to sell the naming rights for new elements to the highest bidder. Instead of some faceless community pondering the appropriate name, just put it on the auction block. Then we'd get meaningful names suitable for posterity, like Enron (pronounced En-ern), Pacbellium, Microsoftite, Pepsium...
The terminology issue comes from the terms used in 1.1 which were Low speed and Full speed. USB 2.0 added High speed but didn't change Full to anything more relatively meaningful. A High speed device connected to a High speed port will (should) transmit at something higher than 12 Mb/s. I never looked at how the actual data rate is managed with a High speed device.
The fine print is: any company with which you have done business in the last year (2 years?) can call you even if your name's on the DoNotCall list. So by including your number on the registration you implicitlt/explicitly have given the OK for them to call.

I've read a few real estate descriptions recently, and noticed that the term "Master Bedroom" is gradually being replaced by "Owner's Bedroom."

In the US the owner of the cell phone pays for all calls, including incoming calls. The caller doesn't pay extra to call a cell phone.

Finding the cat is one thing. Determining whether it is alive or dead has been proven to be impossible.
