There is the HDHomeRun Prime[1] that will accept a CableCARD and output to any connected device on your network.

The jTDS project is dying, there has not been a new release in over 3 years despite some pretty significant bugs.

A pet peeve of mine is when an article displays data to bolster an argument but then cites the source to something extraordinarily large and generic (e.g. "SOURCE: DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION") which makes actually finding the primary data nearly impossible.

Dump the boxes and pick up a cable card. Comcast rebates you $2.50 for having a cable card on your account[0].

Check out The No-Nonsense Study Guides[1]. They are stripped down to just the essential knowledge for the exams. They won't help you master the material, but will give you more than enough information to pass the exams.

I used them with great success to pass all three tests on my first attempt.

Here's what the ARRL has to say about it:

"...snip... Calls to place an order for a commercial product may be made such as the proverbial call to the pizza restaurant to order food, but not calls to one's office to receive or to leave business messages since communications on behalf of ones employer are not permitted..." http://www.arrl.org/phone-patch-guidelines

Part 97 prohibits communications in which the station licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest.

As long as the control operator, or her employer are not making money on the advertisement displayed it would likely be A-OK.

It's perfectly legal or order pizza via autopatch over amateur radio, although impractical now that everyone owns a cell phone.

The government birthed the Ma Bell monopoly with the Willis Graham Act.

Yes, and at the same cost per gig as domestic data.

I've had the opposite problem, Fi will drop and black list public AP's on me if they are moderately slow or have high latencies.

There's a piece of software out there called PokerTracker that allows a user to gather hand data for real-time statistical analysis. There are users out there who have very large databases (Billions of hands) and some users who will buy/sell/exchange these databases.

Yes

popcorntime was taken "banned" due to a DMCA take down requested by the MPAA[1] and not for violating Github rules which are pretty permissive[2].

Was the English version of this talk recorded? I found the talk in Russian[1], but with my understanding of the Russian language, it's impossible to watch.

Nope, loads fine for me.

>There are the police and courts and the like.

Constructing an argument that leans on the courts and police to protect you is entirely specious.

Contrary to the mantra that is often plastered on the side of every patrol car, the police have no duty whatsoever to protect you. And likewise, the courts or police cannot nor will not protect you from threat even if that threat is imminent and certain[1]. The only duty of our justice system is to investigate and apprehend criminals, not to protect your person or property[2][3].

I'm more concerned that Lindsey Graham and John McCain are hoping to declare this kid an "Enemy Combatant"

...I have uber security… and blocks against eavesdropping and MITM, and SSL and AES 256 encryption via an EFF sponsor, who runs a VPN… https://uwnthesis.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/paypal-terminated...

Looks like they were using a very public VPN that Paypal probably already had pre-flagged for fraud.

What does this have to do with tech?

California does have escheat[1] laws which deal with unclaimed property and how the state handles situations where no rightful owner comes forward to claim.[2]
