Unfortunately I do not have a modem like that, mine is an integrated cable modem and router with two ports for internal and NAT on it, which is a pain. Therefore the router which I then connect to that gets an internal address in the 192.168.2 range, and then all my computers connect to that (using the 192.168.0 range). On my ISPs router/modem I have set up a DMZ to my normal router, and so is acting as much as a modem as I can possibly make it. This makes it impossible for me to change the MAC address of the first router, as it is completely controlled by my ISP (the settings screen I have allows me to set up port forwarding for three ports, dmz, ethernet port speed and the ip address of the router) and I imagine that it is the MAC address of the router part rather than the modem part which causes me to get the same IP (there are three listed on the bottom of the box: modem MAC, router-internet: MAC and router-internal: MAC). I cannot plug anything else in front of the modem either, because it is part of the router.
I am on cable and the MAC address of the cable is associated with the account/IP, and if I change the modem then it will not connect. Changing anything within my network would do nothing. But anyway, as it changed by itself yesterday the problem is over.
Only HTTP traffic is allowed on port 80, not even HTTPS. I have been able to sucessfully tunnel SSH over HTTP on port 80, however this is annoying and takes too much time to set up and has to be done on every computer everytime I want to access it (we cannot run programs officially, but we can do so but it is wiped when log off).
I tried changing my IP address, I unplugged my modem for periods of time which grew longer and longer, but even after two weeks on holiday I got the same IP address. I asked my ISP to change it and they just said that it will change when their DHCP server decides to. The lease on the address is only 24 hours, yet when renewed it would always go back to the same address. That is why I had to wait a whole year before it eventually changed.

Every 4 to 5 seconds is not bad, I was hit by a similar attack.
I run a webserver on my home connection, all it hosts is MythWeb, and it is password protected. I am the only person who should have to access it, and am on a dynamic IP address (not a problem I thought when setting it up, and have been very successfully using DynDNS.) About a year ago my IP address was changed to a new one, as it happens. My internet was going as slow as molasses about 10 minutes later, although I just thought it was a temporary thing with my connection. The next day it is even slower, and so I begin to investigate - I perform a speedtest and get very good results for download (but not perfect), but almost no upload. I thought this was odd and checked with my ISP to make sure there were no known issues with the connections in my area - there were not. So I then plugged my modem directly into my computer and it was still happening (which made me think it was something with my ISP, as it affected my router and my computer), and so I then clicked on my bandwidth monitor to see what speeds I could get, and before doing anything there was a constant stream of about 100kb-150kb of downstream traffic. And so I plugged the internet back through the router (I was running a software firewall by the way, so I considered bypassing the router safe).
I then looked at my webserver logs, and it took forever to load. So instead I did a "tail -f" on the error log. I must have been receiving hundreds of requests per second for websites that were nothing to do with me. It was scrolling so quickly I could not read entries as they went past. Examining it more closely I realized what happened: the owner of the IP address before me had been running an open proxy on port 80, and when the IP address changed all their requests were redirected to me, killing my much slower connection (from all the 404 responses apache was sending). So I closed port 80 for a week, and my connection returned to a somewhat normal state. However, I was still receiving about 20 requests a second, despite being offline (seemed mainly to be people trying to do dos attacks through a proxy). After a month this was down to only 1 or 2 a second, and it has remained like that till today.
Because of your post I checked my webserver logs, and at 1:27:18am I received my last request for a website, and looking into it my IP address changed to a new one (only took a year), and so some other unfortunate person is now receiving a few requests a second to be a proxy server.
Guild Wars does this, you download the client at around 80kb zipped and everything else is streamed to you - I can't remember exactly but it was about 100-150mb to download during the install (this was a year and a half ago) and then each area is downloaded in the background/when you need it.
The TCP connection limit is not enforced, but it may be bound by legal agreement to not permit more than 10 clients.
So a record company, who get so upset when you break the licence you have to the music by sharing it on the internet, are telling you to break your licence agreement with Microsoft by letting more than ten computers connect to yours (it is 5 if you have XP Home).
If your card supports hardware encoding, like a Nova-T (dvb) or a Win-Tv 150, 250 etc (analogue) then it automatically encodes into mpeg2 that can be played back on windows.
You can also set the recording profile to automatically encode mjpeg/nuv recordings into mpeg2 or 4 somewhere in the setup.
1. Anything you can get linux to run on with full driver support should run fairly well with MythTV. An Epia should not be a problem, several people run a frontend on one and there is also a distribution to set one up as a diskless frontend easily (google MiniMyth). a. The only problem you might run into is performance issues, although you might want some advice from people who have ran mythtv on old hardware about hat.
2. DVB-T works very well for me, in the UK with a Hauppage Nova-T pci card, which costs about £40. I believe the USB version costs more and is also not as well supported.
3. I don't know much about the guide, but it can pick up the EIT over the air data (what most stand-alone set top boxes use) for getting information, but I get it to grab info from Radio Times. Mine is set up to have 8 days worth of listings, and it works out automatically when to grab more to satisfy this. I plan all my TV in advance using the EPG (electronic program guide) and so have never tried looking for now and next, so I have no idea if that is there. Digital text is not supported out of the box, although there is a patch that someone is working on to make at least teletext work and it looks as if it will be included in the 0.20 release.
There is a.Net client that has very limited functionality that runs on windows, but the proper mythtv stuff itself doesn't.
However, if you want a Mythtv box I would really reccomend dedicating it to mythtv and so the operating system is fairly unimportant as long as it will run mythtv.
Do you have it record directly into an ipod compatable format?
I have mine encode certain shows ready for my iPod and they appear in iTunes as a podcast ready to put on my iPod.
I also enjoy how it can detect adverts, which is been getting better and better in recent releases - something that is unlikely to appear in some commercial PVR software.
The multiple frontend (and backend) ability is also great, as it means that I can record and watch a recording as someone else as watching something elsewhere in the house.
What is different, and perhaps not in a good way, is that this is an optical mouse and not a laser mouse, so the max DPI is only 1600... but that should be plenty to satisfy even the twichiest gamer.
Quite a lot of them work on OS X, and personally I would recomend eclipse (although I have only used it with Java, so I do not know how well it works with Python).
The content has nothing to do with which port it is running on - the protocol normally specifies that. RSS feeds, HTML, images from webpages etc all use HTTP to transmit the data, and HTTP normally runs over port 80.
In different areas different systems are popular. In Britain it seems as if MSN is used almost exclusively, and I know only two people who use different networks, although I am now using Google Talk with a few converts from MSN - so that is six more people off MSN messenger. However, I know a lot of American people that use AIM, and MSN seems (as you said) to be somewhat of a rarity.
Why not just try to make the site work on a wide range of resolutions, as that way you will not be alienating that many people. It is not impossible to make a website that will stretch to large resolutions, and shrink to fit the smaller ones.
Personally I think 1024x768 and 1280x1024 are the two important ones to make sure the site works properly at, as 1024x768 seems to be very popular, however 1280x1024 is the native resolution of a large number of TFT screens.

In the EULA for Windows(PDF) it says:

I don't know why this wasn't in the summary, but they have a website here.

No, it is an optical mouse - no ball.
