The national priority is for all broadcast TV stations to start boradcasting in HD, which because of being digital, actually uses less radio spectrum that analog technologies. This frees up lots of very valuable spectrum. The first cut of the spectum is going to be designated for emergency communication including police, fire, etc. The next chunk of the spectrum is going to be auctioned off by the FCC, for many millions (if not billions) of dollars.
dMark has already developed the tech to insert radio ads on the fly. Their web site claims that advertisers can "change entire campaigns on the fly," and the "station engineer installs the Scott Studios or Maestro Com Module" that delivers the ads.
All the ads are managed from a central repository, and fed to the stations as needed. This is just one step to instant delivery of highly targeted ads.
if the IQ test already exists, why isn't it required for job interviews.
It is illegal to administer an IQ test for hiring. Any tests administered have to be related to some specific job qualification. When interviewing candidates for a programming job, a general inteligence (typically IQ) test can't be used.

My mistake if I was unclear. I'm trying to give IBM more credit for inventing high level languages, which is much more impressive than inventing one high level language.
Rather than talk about inventing Fortran, wouldn't it be slightly more impressive to have invented the first widely used high level programming language?
I mean, inventing a programming language that is still in use after 50 or so years is a rather impressive feat, but inventing "programming languages" is an order of magnitude more impressive.
It doesn't matter whether DRM is open or not; "Rights Management" equals "Rights Removal."
Anyone who ever said they were going to manage the rights of others didn't plan on extending more rights.

If anyone has any idea shat the significance of this video is, and why Google blocks it, I'm really interested in knowing what is going on here.

"...Shall I e-order beer and pizza for you?"
I wish clippy did anything as useful as suggesting beer and pizza.

Correction, it is 120 times better, and exactly 357 better. I thought I'd clear that up for you.
