Make sure to check out xmission.com . They are US based, but they have a great track record of supporting free speech and customer privacy. If they're willing to host maddox and his "best page in the universe" I'm sure that they can handle a parody site that might not be popular with the parodied person/company.
Why not ask the EFF? They have worked with similar issues in the past. If you look at the topics list on the right side of their page you will see many areas related to what the poster is asking about: DMCA, Intellectual Property, Patents, and Reverse Engineering.

Just so you know, the 1.2Ghz band that the camera used in the project is almost certainly not FCC part 15 registered. So unless you are a ham radio operator, caveat emptor.
Great project. And I love the writing style.

Your point would be true, but the audio and video transport streams are not encrypted. Anyone in the SLC area with a digital tv tuner can tell you that you can at random times watch 5-30 min worth of these channels without any special hardware. Even when their "protection" is working you can still listen the the audio of the channel, but with a black screen.
It also depends on what level of "encryption" is required for this. I have a bit of a background in digital tv, and best I can figure without purchasing an atsc pci card and checking out the transport stream itself, is that the 10 or 11 cable channels are protected only by an incompatable atsc channel table. A few friends of mine are able to watch one of these channels at random for 5min to a few hours before they loose video. The sound is always there. Just an educated guess, but I think that if one had an atsc tuner that you could specify your own channel mappings with (by inputing in the audio and video pids), you could watch these stations. YMMV, CYA, IANAL, YAWGTJ (your a$s will go to jail), DMCA etc. This last paragraph has just been my thinking with my fingers, please ignore it.
It will take me a day or two to round up someone with a JD that is willing to look at the references and cases he provided to me in the letter. I will post any further information on the website that my friend linked to: http://a.zzq.org/kulc/
It is not DVB based, but ATSC. Still mpeg2, but with a few changes. They are renting bandwidth from the local digital tv stations (including pbs) for these 10 or 11 channels.
I am the author of the website my buddy here linked to. I just got a letter today from KULC, the non-profit station in question. The respondent did give some decent support for the legality of their choice to lease out part of the digital tv channel. I feel he did not address the ethical issue of selling part of the station to a company without any public input or notification.
Here is a column I wrote for my Uni newspaper: http://www.wsusignpost.com/vnews/display.v/ART/200 4/03/10/404ec7769f825
You can use a multiswitch with antenna input and just not hook up an antenna. The diplexer just lowband/hiband filters out the sat or antenna signal depending on the output. If you didn't hook up an antenna to the multiswitch you wouldn't have to worry about this, and even if you did I don't think that having a tv signal along with the L-band signal from your lnb would affect your sat viewing.
Hey Mikey don't go talkin shit on your old stomping grounds.;)
Hey and we got her turned all the way up to 500 watts ERP! Roy here we come! Actualy I should say turned down, as the transmiter is every winter. Something about a lightning struck fm transmitter out of texas not liking the utah winters.
1) The other "record" that everyone is talking about from europe was using FHSS modulation and as such isn't wi-fi.
2) By your same logic any modified system isn't wi-fi certified as deamed by the industry group that sets the standard and owns the trademark to wi-fi. http://www.weca.net/
I am a fellow student at this university and I know many of the people involved with this project. The professor has his extra ticket and there was a tech class ham at the other side. Now i'm not sure if they transmited call signs, and there choice of file to transfer wasn't the best, but as far as ERP they were well within limits as far as the FCC is concerned.
If you bother to check the actual page out, you will see that they had a liceneced ham at each end and as such fall under part 97 NOT part 15 where you are getting all your limits.
And yes I know that they broke ham rules when the sent "music" in a tranmission, but that is a slap on the wrist at most, and there is no way that anyone at the fcc could prove that it was music and not some random text file with the wrong extention.
Did you actualy read the article? This drive uses CAV not CLV or Z-CLV. Look at the nero speed report at the bottom of the second page. I own a Lite-On 52x burner and can verify that this is correct.
Gigabit ethernet uses all 4 pairs of cat5. Power over ethernet uses the extra 2 pair not used in 100 and 10megabit. There are not the unused pairs with gigabit ethernet.
The Spacewalker itself doesn't come with a cpu, ram or any drives. They sell it as a bare-bones system. (read as no CD-RW)
You could put in a "super drive" and hook up an lcd, and come close to the same _basic_ functionality. But if you are willing to pay for it, apple's design and size are second to none. Personaly, I don't think it is worth it.

You cannot purchase an unlocked iPhone in the USA. The expensive editions are just contract-free, they are still locked to AT&T.
Also, I see lots of opinion in your post without any citations to back it up. Lets see some consumer satisfaction surveys to back up your big claims.
Actually your Visa is not valid unless it is signed. You might want to look to that.
And if you don't have a problem showing him/her your I.D. thats fine, some of us are a bit paranoid about such things.
A number of States do not have magnetic stripes.
However, put in a 2d bar code scanner at every point of sale and it would work out just as well.
Pete Ashdown, running for the US Senate in Utah against Orin Hatch, has had a wiki for most of his campaign. http://vote.peteashdown.org/wiki/
I have gotten an unlock code from TMobile. Has been a few years, and things very well could have changed, but it has been done before.

There was a licenced ham at each end so they fall under part 97 rules not part 15. Check the page again and look for ham call signs.

Just wanted to point out that all 802.11b equiptment uses dsss or direct-sequence spread spectrum rather than frequency hopping.
The first time I read through the above post I only saw the frequency hopping and not the mention of direct sequence at the end of the paragraphs.
No, I just thought it was funny enough that it applied to both posts. Ya know, humor, that thing you heard of once. :)
