Here in they UK it's not black and white, but they replace BBC Two with information on how to switch for a few months before they turn off analogue.
Different regions are switching at different times - over a period of months. The highly-populated London area switches last, in 2012. Some areas have already switched.
It seems to be going well, but if they'd mucked it up the first few times then that's a small problem, not a big one.
You jest, but that's exactly a defense which can be used successfully by car thieves in the UK.
It is difficult to bring a charge of theft in [cases where the car is recovered shortly after] since the intention appears to have been to 'borrow' the car, rather than permanently deprive the owner of it.

Complain in writing, keeping copies of all correspondence. And complain quickly: for the first six months, the retailer has to prove it wasn't their fault.
Technologies like Flash and AJAX and all the other technologies surrounding and supporting them can add a great deal of value to a website, but only if done correctly.
Like JavaScript. You might excuse something as complex as Google Maps for requiring javascript: instead they made the effort and it works without it. So how can sites like Monster.com need JavaScript to submit a simple form? Without even a nice warning message in noscript tags?
AJAX and Flash done right can add extra features and improve the site - Ask.com has done a lot of that. But it's the fact that it still works without the latest and greatest technologies which ensures that everyone - including those 1 in 20 people without JavaScript - can enjoy the site.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Most educators and professionals do not consider it appropriate to use tertiary sources such as encyclopedias as a sole source for any information -- citing an encyclopedia as an important reference in footnotes or bibliographies may result in censure or a failing grade. Wikipedia articles should be used for background information, as a reference for correct terminology and search terms, and as a starting point for further research.
As with any community-built reference, there is a possibility for error in Wikipedia's content -- please check your facts against multiple sources and read our disclaimers for more information.
I would recommend is some sort of web filter to stop any shocking "I've heard of this email site, erm, hotmale.com" incidents.

This is an interesting result examining how photons cross potential barriers. Photons can't normally exist while in the barrier, but they can "borrow" energy for a short time to get across the barrier (take that, conservation of energy!). This result may suggest that it makes the journey in one big hop, rather than taking time to cross, which is quite interesting.
The apparent speed-o-light has been somewhat broken for some time (see BBC News, 2000). According to the article, that doesn't violate Einstein either.
Besides, what do you mean by "speed" when a particle can be in a range of locations at the same time? Welcome to quantum physics - things are weird. Mixing quantum and Einstein is hard - string theory is the current best effort, but still has problems.
A buffer overflow can do a lot more than just crash systems. Done right they can cause the machine to run ANY code the hacker wants while the computer owner is none the wiser. TFA suggests changing the picture generated, which probably wouldn't be too hard considering it looks like it's the JPEG2000 libraries which are affected anyway.
Having not heard of MKV also matters a great deal, the format is not widely adopted
This matters not a jot. iPlayer is p2p software: it is a software download already. Adding a codec install to the mix is child's play.
And the BBC would want to protect it's content because it sells quite a bit of its content to other countries; plus sells DVDs of some stuff too. This money goes back into making programs.
Not inside the courts. We, the British people, don't have cameras inside courts. That's why they show the sketch artist's impressions and not television coverage.
Download statistics tell you squat. The only semi-reliable way (apart from an old fashioned survey, I guess) is browser usage statistics . Fx seems to be about 15%-ish if I remember. W3Schools says 33% but I'm guessing that's inflated quite a bit.
The CIA has been doing nasty stuff in Europe. Of course, torture is illegal, which is why the CIA uses extraordinary rendition and secret prisons in Eastern Europe, rather than torture people at home.

launchpad.net automatically watches some external bug tracker, so it must be possible.

Radio 4 had an interesting half-hour documentary on the effects of TV on very young children, which you can listen to here.
It discusses similar research to the NS article and has some rather interesting comments from the makers of television programmes for tots'.

Being a journalist is no excuse for breaking the law, as the News of the World found out.

I stand corrected, sir
The CIA has been doing nasty stuff in Europe. Of course, torture is illegal, which is why the CIA uses extraordinary rendition and secret prisons in Eastern Europe, rather than torture people at home.
For your enlightenment:
CIA ran secret prisons for detainees in Europe, says inquiry
German ministers 'knew about CIA torture cells'
CIA jails in Europe 'confirmed'
Yeah, he offers you a job now, but wait until he googles your name...
Exactly - blood groupings would be a crude example of this sort of principle.
