The show Dollhouse (I'm not a fan personally, but I'm using it as an example) was saved from being canceled by having over a million viewers on Hulu. While a million isn't that much, it's clearly a sign of things to come.
Ahh, so now you should be able to recoup the costs of your capital via lawsuits because your idea was too generic? Patent something innovative, you should be able to profit because of it. Patent something fairly simple, don't expect people to sympathize. Whining? Hardly. It's not like Tivo is going to stop anyone from getting the functionality they need, people will just need to do it in another way if their bogus patent is upheld.
An MBA is like a pilot's license where they only trained you to fly into the ground. With your grade being based on how quickly you can get to the ground.
As a business owner, I try to do the same thing. It's not difficult, you just can't be greedy. Do well a couple of months? Do go by yourself a brand new $100K car. Shove that cash into reserves, for when you have lean months and don't want to let people go. Good bosses/owners make for great/secure jobs for employees. I don't need an MBA to tell me that.
So because they use a slimmed down PC to do the timeshifting instead of a VCR, they immediately get to tax everyone who wants the capability? I think not. I would fully support AT&T and Verizon changing the backend technology to present the same functionality to the end user while not infringing on this "patent" (if that's what bullshit like this is called today). What then? Call the whambulance because it's not fair to Tivo? Welcome to the marketplace.
London charging a congestion tax is nothing like Tivo trying to collect from anyone who remotely thinks of shifting television content around with a magnetic storage device.
I agree they should pay licensing fees if they use a Tivo interface. I don't believe they should have to pay licensing fees simply because they time-shift programming using a hard drive.
Ok, then AT&T and Verizon should simply switch to offering standard TV and "On Demand" television shows, and not utilize a DVR in the home. Problem solved.
I'd like to think I'm a peaceful person, with violence being reserved for the rarest of circumstances. But, if your statement is true (I'd have to research to confirm), it allows me to validate US military spending, advanced weapons research, etc. There will always be savages out there, and whether people believe it or not, someone needs to look out for people who would be treated like that.
It's not an either/or. You can do both. For more fun, you can do both at the same time (whether those you're watching are on a video or in person is a function of how adventurous you are). My wife and I are young still though (I'm 26 and she's 25) so we haven't had all those old people stigmas kick in yet.
As someone who works with several ISP co-ops, I'd love to get a snort signature that I could provide to them and say "If this flies across the network, you should be notifying your user immediately", while also having snort jam it using RST packets.
Can you provide info on what hardware IP phones you use? We have a bunch of Cisco IP phones, and I'm in the process of deploying another 100 or so. I would very much like to do encryption of both the SIP and the voice data stream at the phone's level.
There are a couple of "iffy" items in the article. First, how can an oil leak detector cause oil leaks (let alone spills)?
If you're an attacked were to determine there was an existing leak, then disable the leak monitor, then command a pump to increase pressure, you could cause damage depending on the pressure rating of the pipes/fittings in question. Other than that, I agree that it would be difficult to cause damage with simply a sensor alone (unless it's a critical sensor in an industrial process).
I have no idea why you haven't been moderated to +5 yet. THIS! a thousand times. Always, always, always! build mechanical safety into your system. A computer control failure should never cause disaster (see: graphite rods dropping into a nuclear reactor during a scram).
You twits need to find a better battle cry than 'apple makes you pay to play and doesn't let you do whatever you want' cause the only people that care are idiots like you who keep ranting how important it is failing to notice how no one else thinks its important.
Yeah, because commercial app developers want to sink tens of thousands of dollars into app development and then have Apple pull the plug because your dictionary has naughty words, or your app conflicts with "core apps".

Where are orbiting tungsten rods when we need them?

True. But in the end, Tivo will be obsolete. You don't need a DVR to watch on demand shows via Netflix Watch It Now, Hulu, etc.

Your sarcasm detector is broken.
If your pipes burst, you're not using enough ethylene glycol in your circulating fluid.
Forgive me. My "old people stigma" was to reflect more of a mindset than an age. I should have worded it differently.
Risk level if you propose doing it: High
Risk level if your significant other proposes it: Low

Perhaps bookmarks need an "avoid awesomebar" flag?
Wrong. Maybe you just need a wife who is into porn as well. Having a healthy sex drive is not a fault.

I am surprised and relieved to know that someone was able construct a proper air gap in an environment that demands it. Kudos!

Morons buy phones to make a statement. Intelligent people buy a phone to fit their needs.
There are just not enough mod points in the world to mod you up to an appropriate level =)
