While the international Japanese symbol for yen comes before the numerical value, I believe the Kanji comes after the number when money is expressed in Japanese, matching up with the way dates and times are expressed.
Borderline criminal religious zealots are the status quo in states like Oklahoma. Freedom of speech is hardly in the minds of people when it seems Jesus TV is what is considered "favorable speech" amoung the public. It's the unfavorable stuff it's designed to protect, as we all know.
I still don't think it would have made it. The Linux versions of Firefox seems to be trailing behind the Windows releases as of late. My memory is fuzzy, but I think wasn't able to upgrade to 1.0PR on Linux until a couple weeks later than I did on Windows.
Unless they're planning a synchonized release of the binaries or something for both Windows and Linux.
Mainly France, but I'm looking at this link and am seeing that most of Africa as well as countries south of Russia also use SECAM. As far as it relates to Asia, I'm seeing that North Korea also uses it alongside PAL (must be an eastern-bloc thing, as South Korea is NTSC).
Nah, the internet is filled to the brin with people who think DVD Shrink can make Finding Nemo (for example) fit onto a 4.7 GB disc without losing any quality. It's going to be a while.
Does anybody have any figures as to how much bandwidth can realistically be dedicated to HDTV signals? I'm guessing that (this is a US-centric comment) even if the bands were reworked, there's still only enough room for a few channels over the air. Gotta have cable or satellite.
Most TV tuners are multiformat. My BT878 can do NTSC, PAL, SECAM, you name it. This is probably also true for HD, as nothing needs to change in the DSP to adapt to a different format.
This brings up a question. Is the broadcast flag enforced in hardware or software? If it's the latter, this should prove easy to bypass if the capture is done on a computer.
Possibly a joke, but I'm guessing the law doesn't have any post facto clauses. Just the same as how cars before manufactured before 1967 don't need seatbelts.
It means that any security flaws are limited to the ones in the interpreter - which is probably a good thing since it's not developers creating new ones in the application itself.
I imagine even Java isn't perfectly secure or stable. (I have seen software segfault it before)
This reminds me of some of the discussions around here about copy protected CDs that don't play being returned as defective merchandise ad nauseum until the store agrees to let you buy something else with the store credit.
This rules out fighting CD copy protection at least in this manner.
Oops, that should have read "Fighting Golf". And there is a sound, check out track 35 in this NSF file. It's not as funny as it's not preceded by light jazzy music, though. It makes for the humorous anticlimax that is missing the ball in a golf video game.
The kids and their pot-smoking habits these days...
Some of them must be mods. My Mario jump comment got modded troll for some reason. I should really change my sig if that's the cause.

It curls fries, too, you know.
Ok, folks; choose your topic:
a) Is it called GNU/Linux or Linux?
b) Emacs vs Vi
c) "Ok" goes on the left, "Cancel" goes on the right.
d) Security is based on market share - NO! Apache is more secure despite bla bla bla!
e) 45 RPM LPs sound better than reel-to-reel!
About the same time they get around to supporting XHTML and CSS.

Looking at Novell's product line, they seem to be a dead company... or a totally restructured one from the past...
Better check and be sure first:

This will free up part of the UHF television band for other uses.
More channels? (Actually, that would be a bad thing if you live in the bible belt - Robert Tilton and Billy Graham 24-7)

Japan, Taiwan and Korea may use NTSC, but China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Australia and others use PAL.

You would be in luck if your HDTV set has a DVI input. If not, well, does anybody know if DVI-to-component coverters exist?
I don't own an HDTV set, so I'm not sure if that would work for 1080i. Hopefully a typical PC video card can do 1920x1080 interlaced

Or you could just sit back and play Choplifter instead.
Cashier: I'm sorry, Mr. Constanza, you can't return this book.
George: Why not?
Cashier: It's been flagged. It's been in the bathroom.
Another advantage being that the penalty is less than it is for copyright infringement.
I got modded offtopic. I win!
