I figured it would confuse some people.

I believe the Viewsat 9000HD, which is chiefly a satellite receiver, will receive OTA signals. With an added USB hard drive, it is supposed to record them. I don't imagine the interface will be as nice as MythTV, but a commercial product does exist.

Does anyone know where duedil.com gets its Canonical data from?
If I am going to fork over $800, I want to perform at least some due diligence. Is Canonical simply going to use my money to pay downs its current liabilities, which were recently about 19,000,000 GBP higher than its current assets?

Many people think Turing cracked Enigma, but this is only partially true.

The Poles were the first to crack Enigma. Turing's lot later cracked naval Enigma. It took the capture of a downed U-boat to crack an updated naval Enigma.

Buy a consumer-grade router, but use a UPS to ensure it receives clean power. Dirty power kills these things.

I find Internet cafés most helpful for tourists. It doesn't make sense to (try to) pass laws against them. I was in London recently and could web browse easily enough with my tablet. When it came time to compose an email, I was very happy to find an Internet café with computers having full size keyboards.

Ten years ago, I predicted a "nudie button," which, instead of removing people from live video, would simply remove their clothing (through interpolation). I do not endorse the use of such a button on your TV's remote control, I merely predict its future existence.

I came up with a similar theory years ago as an excuse not to exercise, for exercising increases one's heart rate. I concluded that exercise would therefore shorten my life. My girlfriend at the time didn't buy my logic. As a step aerobics instructor and science graduate student, she assured me that exercising only temporarily increases one's heart rate and that people who exercise regularly have slower heart rates during the non-exercising parts of their lives. I hate it when people use my own logic against me.

It's the old hire the guy who hacked you scenario:

This is the same in most industries. A degree from any number of schools gets one an interview. Experience and ability gets one a job.

The proper plural of thesis is theses, with a long e sound in the second syllable.
Until reading the blurb for this Slashdot article, I have never seen anyone get this wrong.

Some people mispronounce the plural of basis. It is bases, with a long e sound in the second syllable.

What really bugs me are people who mispronounce "processes." Its singular form does not end in "is." It is not a Greek word at all. The proper pronunciation of the plural is with a short e sound in the last syllable. Too many people try to sound educated by making the long e sound in this word. Currently, it backfires and they sound less educated. As English evolves, maybe this incorrect pronunciation will win out; but it would still bug me.

The incentive to incorporate is lessened if you plan on spending all of the cash generated by the business. For then you would have to report all of the income at graduated personal income tax rates.

If you plan to leave cash in the business and not use it personally right away, then incorporating makes much more sense. Here, the amount of combined personal + corporate taxes in the near term would be smaller. The time value of money in the delay of paying taxes works in your favour. What might the business do with its retained earnings? It could invest in assets to grow its own business. It could invest in other businesses.
