BTW... I remember you. I was working in the compiler department when you were building that test suite management system. You had a minor run-in with a very young and somewhat dickish engineer. That would be me. In the ~25 years since I can certainly say I'm older and I hope I can say I'm less dickish.
I have FiOS and until MythTV supports CableCARD, it's rather useless. A google of the site just turns up a dry wiki definition of CableCARD and a bunch of forum postings that degenerate into DRM-related poo flinging.
A 1005HA with Windows 7 starter on Amazon.com: US$336. Same system with Windows XP Home: US$312. Difference: US$24. Subtract that from the US$50 estimate OEM price in the ars technica article and the remainder would be the price Asus is charging for XP home: US$26.
I never thought I'd be typing for a living. I thank a brief encounter with a VAX 11/780 for inspiring me to take a typing class in HS sophomore year. That said, Just require them to use a keyboard... no need to teach typing. They'll figure it out -- just ask their Xbox
... but won't spend the money on first class stamp to write to their public water authority and complain about whatever it is they think is wrong with the water supply?
...many are greedy and get what they deserve, if not far more.
I was an adopted child and never once believed my "real" parents were royalty. I remain unaffected by similar fantasies later in life.
That said, many elderly do not have the cognitive function required to identify these scams for what they are... many suffer at the hands of these fraudsters and deserve neither jail, nor the financial loss.
I often think of the show (especially with Bionic Woman in remake...) and ponder "only six million dollars?"
How rapidly our expectations rise while the real dollar drops...
TiVoToGo can easily fill a video iPod with perfectly legal recordings transfered from a TiVo for no additional cost beyond the TiVo setup and a copy of the TiVo Desktop Plus package. You can save a little money by not buying the Plus package if you already have software that can do the transcoding for you.
Podcasts, etc, can cost nothing, as well...

So, how long before I can buy a "Ta Su Lo" from one of those lock-ups in the neighborhood next Beijing's Pearl Market?

Showbiz types generally hate hanging endings. I'll guess fans will be disappointed with it being "reimagined".
If I wanted to watch down-converted recordings, I wouldn't have FiOS.

That's going to be a PITA to fold.

I have found the Ubuntu Community Documentation to be pretty good for cookbook procedures. Their forums pick up the slack for acute issues.

I used to use Antique White on Cadet Blue. Now, its more about the color of the frames on my reading glasses.
