"i am slowly migrating the house computers to FireFox."
How long does it take you to install FireFox that makes it slow??? Just install it and be done with it, it takes me about 20 seconds to 3 minutes [including download, depending on the host site]
Yes, but if Joe Driver decides to drive in front of your house with your open network, and connects to it for internet access, just a simple google query, nothing illegal, nothing questionable, no packet sniffing, it isn't really eavesdropping.
PLUS WiFi networks are not covered as Telephone communications, and thus are not covered by the regulations that I cannot listen to them. I can listen to them just as legally as I can listen to HAM bands, Police bands, or the FM radio in my car.
How so did the FCC de-regulate part of the spectrum?
The FCC doesn't de-regulate anything, they just stop requiring licenses, but they still regulate it. Just like the old CB Band, its still regulated, they just stopped issuing as many fines as they used to, but if they want, at any time, they can just start handing out the fines again, they still officially regulate it.
Yea, its nice, but you can't cook that pi because the oven is negative geek points.

Even with digital TV, you can't get a cheap card; the cheapest method would probably be some sort of VGA [an analog signal from a digital source] - TV conversion [back to digital again] and that would only be 480p, Digital TV hasn't really taken off in the US yet, the FCC is fighting to move all broadcast tv stations off to digital bands, and failing. Some major networks are simulcasting in DTV, but that's aerial only, most cable companies won't carry it. I know my cable company carries it if you buy their DTV service AND a special HDTV box, but very few networks are carried in native DTV, the rest are converted from analog anyway. Also, US DTV is/will be very compressed (with many artifacts) due to the fact that each company will be able to cram up to 15 stations on one channel, and when one of their feeds needs bandwith, the rest suffer. Even with Cable DTV I notice artifacts amd delays on analog channels because of the cable company's recompression. The UK is much better off with their old analog 'High Definition Television System' [PAL] and their new Digital TV system.

They must be replacing quite a lot of them with dirt-cheap PCs and cards now, though? I'd assume that with the move to all-digital technology, there must come a point where the analogue-based toaster/Amiga setup doesn't provide the facilities (and, to some extent, quality) that a modern studio would require.
There is no dirt-cheap PC card to do this. The cheapest method is an Amiga with either a genlock or a toaster. Even the PC genlock-style devices just don't have the quality of the Amiga's. The reason the Amiga was great for TV is that it was originally designed as a gaming system, and its internal clocks ran at 60Hz [30 fps, NTSC version]. I have two Amigas, one A3000 with a Newtek Video Toaster (original version - 2000), and one A2500. Television is an analog system, why would you use a digital PC generation method and convert it when the Amiga has analog generation built in?
If this "Just shows how systems with build-in redundancy can still go badly wrong....", what did the Titanic 'just show'? Was it not this same thing???? [It would be the same error too - multiple water-tight chambers being opened to water still cause the whole thing to stop working]

China is not communist (in the Marxist sense). China is socialist.
I agree, being moral is doing right, but does forcing others to do as you please moral? I think not.
He may still be liable, but it may very well get around the Cease and Decist order.
What if the AI is hardware based? What if it is software based, and its hardware components die [solid-state, hdd, IC, whatever]?

More like looking a trojan horse in the mouth for anyone who thinks either of these technologies is good (or even mediocre).

They gonna give you free cards too? If so, that would be even better :)
If not, its still cool.

What does this mean for Cloanto's Amiga Forever? do they still have the rights to redistribute the old OSes and Kickstarts?
Also, KMOS, Inc., seems to be a new company, which aquired Itec, LLC, who was in agreement with Amiga, Inc.
KMOS seems to be creating a website at this time.
Apparently KMOS's website
