One way to get rid of many of the advertisements is to watch it on Hulu. Granted you have to wait before episoded become available and the entire season of a given show isn't always available, but in general it's a lot better than sitting through lots of useless advertisements.
Maybe I'm crazy, but this idea doesn't sound terribly good or safe from a security standpoint. Here let me just guide you to my (insert target here). Maybe it'll have sensitive areas blurred out, who knows. But, I am all for being able to find a restroom in the mall.
Having lived in Idaho, I would say that the problem here is probably a mixture of the data being BS, population, computer's per home, average computer know-how, the actual ratio of spam to legitimate email going to users in that state, and the average air speed of a coconut-laden swallow.
Have you tried looking at ESET Smart Security? They have 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Works like a charm on my 64-bit Vista machine. http://www.eset.com/
I did mention BackTrack earlier, but it was in reference to installing it on the tablet rather than running the live cd. However, I was informed that unless you re-compile and possibly rewrite some of the source, it won't run on an ARM processor. Mostly, as I understand it, because BackTrack is based on Slax which is based on Slackware which is not compiled to run on ARM processors.
So...basically this would be akin to running Back|Track, but with a few improvements, like the automation or am I missing something? If this is the case, why wouldn't someone install back|track on one of these things and just add the automation? Then you could forgo most of that hefty price since all you would have to buy is the tablet.
It shouldn't be that hard to accomplish. Take a look at the camouflage the military is bound to enjoy. Combine these two and you've got a winner.

Very true, and what is really unnerving is just how easy it is to see this. Fire up Snort sometime and watch when your email sends a request to the server. That alone should make you a paranoid privacy fanatic.
I don't presume to know everybody's reasoning behind either buying a commercial DVR or building their own, but isn't the ability to skip commercials fairly important to most people? IMO the reason you would have a DVR is so that you can either watch one thing and record another or you have a busy schedule and don't want to be bothered by having to watch commercials when you finally do get the time to watch your choice of content. Is that so far off? So if ABC wants to disable the ability to fast forward through the commercials on commercial DVRs, all the more reason to check out something like MythTV which will most likely come up with a way around the problem fairly quick. That or you could just not watch anything on ABC.
Just my two cents worth.
had to omit the brackets to make the route command work, so...route -p add 207.46.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 [192.168.0.254] becomes route -p add 207.46.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.254
Enjoy!

Not to mention the illicit monitoring they'll be doing on how you use it.
Excuse me sir, do you have the proper FCC permit for sending smoke signals? I thought not, hand over your blanket and code key.
No need for that, we already have photographic proof right here.
Works for me.
Wait...they have maps for that? Score!

I'm gonna go with the BS option personally.
This is interesting since I had to finally use IE to download it because the website wants to install some silly activex for a download manager.
Don't say it! What? Candle Jack! Oops. ....
Why thank you.

If only they made a version with Nvidia SLI support instead of ATI Crossfire...
