bah! With OTA HDTV capture cards available, those of us who don't spend a fortune every month to the cable gods get great 1080i picture with all the MythTV bells and whistles. Yes, digital cable or satellite TV makes it more difficult to use MythTV, but for those who don't have to have 200+ channels of mostly crap can do just fine with MythTV and 5-10 channels of mostly crap.
...if this was some wild goosechase. I mean that if you fraudulently sent the Police, etc. looking for someone, then you should be billed for it.
But if it was a legitimate missing persons/accident, etc. as it appears to be in Fossett's case, then the next of kin should not be billed for the expense.
While the article was pretty thorough on equipment, cables, etc. they failed to mention room treatments. Bad room treatment can cause even the best audio gear to sound less than fantastic. Perhaps they should save some more bucks and lose the Monster cable and invest in room treatments.
With recent winners of the Nobel Peace Prize going to clearly left-wing liberals and anti-capitalists such as Jimmy Carter and Yassir Arafat, the Prize has lost all credibility in my book. What happened to the days of Mother Teresa and others who actually worked for peace? How about one of the other contenders Irena Sendler, a Polish woman who saved more than 2,500 Jewish children during the Holocaust? How does Owl Gore compare to her?
Until the Prize committee starts recognizing some real activists for peace instead of the most anti-capitalist liberal they can find, I won't be paying any attention to it. It might as well be the Grammys.
I find this blogger's poor use of the English language disgusting. In no more than two sentences they misuse "their" and "there." There should be some kind of rule as to the quality of articles that make it on/.

...does not specifically grant the right of the people to vote in Presidential elections. It amazes me that citizens know so little about the civics of their own country. According to the constitution, state legislatures choose electors to vote for the president. Not that it would happen, but it is contitutionally legal for a state to pick up a bunch of hookers of the street to be their electors. The way it is setup now in most states is that the candidate with the most popular votes gets all of the elector's votes. A few states split the electoral votes based on % of popular vote. I see no reason that the Electoral college should be changed. Every election cycle the media trots out some whacko that wants to change the status quo because "it will better represent the people's wishes." The premise that this country is a democracy is a fallacy and those who believe it should be banned from voting for life.
If you want to make this country better, we need to restrict voting to the more intelligent and educated and not pander to those looking for free handouts.
"Yes, you have a big screen and nice sound in the theater, but home theater systems are constantly getting better."
Absolutely. I haven't been to see a movie in a theater since I got my bigscreen and top-notch surround system. I believe that other than size of the screen, my home theater is heads and shoulders above the movie theater experience.
I've got an older DLTIII drive that I picked up on eBay for a little over $100 plus tapes. I use it to backup the essential data on a weekly schedule. The capacity is only 15G/30G, so it won't work for the Gigs of movies/music.
I also have the OS on a small SCSI drive that is backed up nightly to another drive of the same size. This gives a little fat-finger protection that RAID-1 doesn't offer, but still gives a completely redundant solution in case the primary dies. And, if I goof up something I just mount the second drive and restore from the night before!
...a regulatory vaccuum. Since it has now been proven that private enterprise can do more with less money and less time than the Imperial Federal Government it is time to step in a squash the fledgling private space market.
After all, in order to professionalize, you must federalize! (Tom Daschle)
...will require the ease of some form of package management. I can see the benefits and challenge of compiling from source, but joe user will not take the time to compile from source.
just my $0.02
I feel that the FCC's job should be to regulate who gets access to certain frequencies in a geographic location. It is not the job of the FCC to censor the airwaves. It seems to me that the Imperial Federal Government lost out on the battle of freedom of the press, and therefore found another medium that they could control.
I have two knobs on every receiver to control my vote on what is perverse and obscene...The volume and the tuner.
If you want the government to protect (control) every aspect of your life, than you cannot claim to love freedom.
I'm sure the Internet will be managed so much better by the ITU (subset of the UN) than a private organization. Just look at the UN's track-record for examples. Soon they will want to ban certain content (albeit some content needs to go), but first comes management, then comes censorship!

I wonder if this will be one of the first steps toward protein resequencers and eventually food replicators. Star Trek, here I come!
