In general, any over-the-air content (broadcast TV) should be unencrypted on cable, and you should be able to use a QAM tuner on it. Practically everything else will be encrypted, if not now then as soon as they can. The operator has to pay the content owner more if the content goes out unencrypted.
All this is due to "analog bandwidth reclamation". Each analog channel they remove means several digital channels they can put in its place, or they can use the channel to increase data bandwidth.
Comcast and NBC Universal should remain separate entities.
they would be... under an NBCComcast / ComcastNBC umbrella.
However, Comcast would own a majority of the new company, so they get to set the agenda. They already do this in partnerships (or Joint Ventures) with other companies, including mine.
Ugh, IBM PC/2! PS/2 is the connectors, PC/2 was the overall product, PS/2 does not include a computer, it's just a connector. Or wait, are you saying they are going to stare at a PS/2 connector?
At first I thought... "that doesn't affect me, I run Linux"...
But what about paying a developer to work on a FOSS application? Would that be taxed? It is custom software, after all.
It sounds like that is exactly what they want to do: treat the delivery of the final product as a sale and apply sales tax to it. Open source or not wouldn't matter.
Disclosure: I am a current Motorola Home employee, but I have no insider insights into the split planning process.
This is speculation on my part, but it seems like both halves of the company may take on new names. However, the Mobile Devices/Home company will own the Motorola brand and license it royalty-free to the Government/Enterprise/Networks half of the company. (This was included in the public announcement on Thursday.) It will be messy, but it will allow both halves to carry on for a while while (potentially) building new brands.
It will be an interesting ride. The Home and Mobile Devices units have been part of the same company for a while, but never seemed to collaborate much. I'm guessing that will be changing, along with some of the culture and organization in Home. I expect it to be somewhat painful, but worth it.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work unless you earmark all money you collect. Otherwise, the general funds that would have been spent on roads will simply be diverted to something else. Even then you end up with situations like Social Security, where excess funds are required by law to be loaned back to the government for them to spend. At the end of the day anything they get is One Big Pot of Money for them to shuffle around and spend as they please.
Pickens doesn't love oil; Pickens loves natural gas. On CNBC the other day he was arguing for anything that will get us off foreign energy dependence, and we have a lot of natural gas. And he claims that he isn't in it for the money, saying that he has plenty of money. Whether you choose to believe him or not is up to you.
rsync is great, though on Cygwin there are some caveats. Last time I tried using it to sync a large amount of data I ran into a Cygwin pipe bug (for the pipe between rsync and the ssh process) which caused the transfer to hang. Using the "rsync:" protocol (with an rsync daemon), optionally over an ssh tunnel (port forwarding), worked fine, though it was a bit clunky.
By getting the professional opinion of a doctor or registered dietitian.
That would certainly help. However, professionals are people too, and aren't immune to media-induced hysterics or simple trendiness in health and treatments. I also expect that most aren't plugged into the latest details of the science behind their field, leaving them open to the same sort of hearsay as the rest of us.
No. According to line 33 of page 4 in the bill, computer software is not a digital good. Perhaps not the reason you were hoping for, but it does answer your question.
No problem, then. Just distribute music in self-extracting zip files. It is an EXE, which is clearly a program, which simply has the side-effect of creating a music file for you. You could do the same on Linux with shar archives, which are just shell scripts.
At a little over 6'5", I'm in the same boat. I make do with an '03 Murano, but I still have issues with steering wheel reach, legs being cramped, and head still brushing the ceiling. I'm also fairly broad-shouldered, so that is an issue, too, not to mention elbow room issues. I can usually manage to fold myself into a full size vehicle, but it is certainly uncomfortable over time. Your average econobox is totally out of the question.
I'll be looking to replace the Murano before too long, but the new Muranos have less headroom than the old ones, and I'm strugging to find something comparable as a replacement. I expect tighter fuel standards will only shrink vehicles further, and my choices along with them.
One policy to address this problem is to require the use of a secondary decryption key held in a safe in company HQ which can access all encrypted data. That way you have some fallback for this sort of situation. PGP/GnuPG can do this; I don't know about whole-disk encryption solutions.
It wasn't the first time they did something like that with a regeneration. See Mardryn Undead. That sets a precedent for a regeneration where the energy comes from outside and so doesn't count against a Time Lord's quota.
While the idea of having my lights on IPv6 is kinda cool (I have IPv6 at home already), I'd be worried about security. There isn't a lot of experience with IPv6 access control out there yet, especially for tiny devices. I'm really not interested in having random users surfing my electrical appliances. Even for larger devices, would you want your iPod accessible on the Internet? I think there are more problems to solve before a totally connected world can happen.

The connector got its name from the computer.

Unless you count days as number of rotations. But then I don't know that the Death Star was supposed to rotate at all.

You're making the common mistake of confusing 'media hysterics' with 'actual science'.
Yes, but without personal insights into the science involved, how is one supposed to tell the difference?
That, or they can just start making you provide your credit card number before sending out the fire department to save your home.
No problem. Just sign up for 1-Click purchasing at Amazon.com, and they will punch-through your purchase to your local fire department affiliate.
There is something ironic about citing Wikipedia in response to a [citation needed].

Actually, I believe he asks permission out of courtesy, but if he were less polite he could just do a parody without asking.
