I think you'll find that you're incorrect about this - and your entire point, by the way. Affiliate stations substitute commercials from the network with local ones all the time. If you've ever seen a partial commercial that gets stuffed by another, you've seen a substitution with bad timing. Affiliate stations pay for programming just like Dish and Cable companies and they are analogous.
I didn't bother to read the rest of your post/rant as it's seriously misguided. Dish is simply providing the technology for the consumer to skip watching the commercials -- as if they chose not to watch by leaving the room -- like I can do with my MythTV system.
Unless, of course, you're advocating that consumers should be forced to watch commercials, then you're seriously cranked.
They *xen meme smells more 1990s than 1970s. But even if there were some were calling them VAXen back then it's still wrong. It's just bad English.
It's called a colloquialism - get over it - and we used it at my university in the early to mid 1980s and I also heard it when I worked at NASA in the late 1980s and early 1990s.. As the reference.com site mentioned, it was used among hackers. Perhaps you're just not hacker enough:-)
Actually, "Vaxen" is acceptable and I have actually heard it used - yes, I'm that old. Furthermore, from (1) Vaxen and mentioned on (2) VAX:
(1) The plural canonically used among hackers for the DEC VAX computers. "Our installation has four PDP-10s and twenty vaxen."
(2)... systems include the "BVAX", a high-end ECL-based VAX, and two other ECL-based VAXen: "Argonaut" and "Raven".
The problem is that Rand Paul isn't suggesting that the groping stop. He's suggesting that it be *privatized*...
True, but the real problem here is that what he *really* wants is a contribution to his PAC "Campaign for Liberty".
Senator Rand Paul has a plan to do away with the TSA for good, but he needs our help, reads the petition, which also asks signers to chip in a contribution to help C4L...
The PAC can spend those contributions in any fashion they want, so contributors may be funding other C4L agenda items as well. Buyer beware.
... like me, then another person could have surreptitiously broken into my house and just used the wired LAN. Farfetched? Sure, but I'm just putting it out there for any future defense that it *could* happen - damn "only want to steal my bandwidth" thieves.
Unless you've invented a device to transmit people's thoughts and intentions, then their words are all we have to go by.
True to a certain extent, but the context of those words and any conversation can help. In general people often get too cranked up over the little things.
The server, which was operated by the European Counter Network ('ECN'),... was seized in relation to bomb threats sent to the University of Pittsburgh using a Mixmaster anonymous remailer hosted on the server.
Given their recent activities - Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I. - I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI e-mailed that bomb threat themselves so they could legally seize and search the ECN system - brilliant.
But the routers do not verify that the route "announcements," as they are called, are correct. Mistakes in entering the information -- or worse yet, a malicious attack -- can cause a network to become unavailable.
you don't believe in their gods. or theirs. or theirs. and they don't believe in yours. isn't this a wake-up call to you, in any way, shape or form?
My experience is that people who are really into their religion have an inclusion/exclusion mindset and want to believe that their religion is the "right" one and their efforts to abide by its tenants will bear fruit for them and the other link-minded followers. Sure, this is a big stereotype, but here's my example.
My wife died in Jan 2006 of a brain tumor (just seven weeks after diagnosis). We were together for 20 years. She was a wonderful person teacher. Technically she was a Baptist, but we had *never* gone to church - except for other people's weddings (we were married in our home by a Justice of the Peace) - and we were/are both fairly non-religious.
One of my co-workers offered that since she wasn't "saved" she couldn't get into Heaven. (nice) I replied that if Heaven existed and wouldn't let someone as wonderful as my wife in for such a stupid reason, then Heaven wasn't a place worth going to. To his credit, he came back a few days later after talking with his Pastor and said she might get in anyway... (less jerky)
My wife asked me what I though would happen when she died. I said there are two possibilities: (1) There's nothing after this life, but if so you won't know it and you have nothing to fear. (2) There's something after this life, in which case your friends and relatives who have died are there too and you have nothing to fear.
Later, another co-worker offered that there's a third option that there's a "good" and "bad" place after this life - I assume he meant Heaven and Hell. I said that's why I try to live my life as she did so we'll end up together. He asked, "Even if it's a bad place?" I replied, "especially if it's a bad place, so we can go through it together." Hopefully we'll end up together soome where, but I tend to believe there's nothing after this life, so we'll just be together in the abstract.
Because telling little Jimmy he got the question wrong would make him feel bad so instead lets piss away money so we can predict failure before it happens and be sure to water down the test just enough so Jimmy never needs to find out he sucks at math.
Or... This can be used to try and determine why people get answers incorrect. It's possible that Jimmy doesn't know the answer or doesn't understand the question as phrased. By dynamically adjusting the question, we can learn how information is processed and how people think.
For example. I had a Calculus teacher in college - head of the Math Dept, in fact - who I simply couldn't understand. The way he taught and the way I learned were too different. I dropped the class and took it with another teacher and did very well.
Milk is vegan, if the animal you obtain it from, consents to give it to you...
But since non-human animals can't give us consent to take the milk they produced for their own offspring, that stolen cows' or goats' milk is not vegan.
The quadruped Dish of the Day is an Ameglian Major Cow, a ruminant specifically bred to not only have the desire to be eaten, but to be capable of saying so quite clearly and distinctly.... the Dish is nonplussed by a queasy Arthur's subsequent order of a green salad, since it knows "many vegetables that are very clear" on the point of not wanting to be eaten
You do realize that cows generate milk because they have offspring? So, stop getting them pregnant and producing baby cows and you can stop milking them... See: Dairy Cattle
To maintain high milk production, a dairy cow must be bred and produce calves.
Milk Production Levels
Production levels peak at around 40 to 60 days after calving. The cow is then bred. Production declines steadily afterwards, until, at about 305 days after calving, the cow is 'dried off', and milking ceases. About sixty days later, one year after the birth of her previous calf, a cow will calve again. High production cows are more difficult to breed at a one year interval. Many farms take the view that 13 or even 14 month cycles are more appropriate for this type of cow.

Tim Berners-Lee is urging technology companies to 'show more restraint' in how they use the information they hoover up.... It's not whether you can get my information, it's when you've got it, what you promise not to do with it.
That's hilarious. Oh Tim you're such a dreamer - or whatever you've been smoking must be great.
In the "Black & White" table they list white at 38.4 W, then in the "Greyscales" table list 0% grey (white) at 40.0W and 60% grey at 38.5W -- all for the same 19" LCD Samsung 192MP monitor showing a full-screen solid color. For fluorescent back-lights, I can't imagine the power usage to be that different for just toggling the LCD cells, but can for an LED back-light, where there are grids of LEDs that may be powered down/off for a more true "black".

...how to encode information in order to maximize the capacity of a network as a whole...
I always send my data as a series of 0s and 1s. I tried using 2s, but they took up too much bandwidth.

There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad intentions. And woooords.
Words should be taken and accepted in context and the only thoughts and intentions be judged.

You don't need historical analysis. I've seen first-hand that buying a woman steak or lobster helps me reproduce.
