Keep in mind that most DTV stations right now have reduced signal power. On 2/17 (hopefully), TV stations won't have to broadcast both analog and digital TV signals, so they can increase the DTV transmission power. This should really improve signals.

Also I nabbed a $200 21" TV from best buy, complete with builtin DTV tuner last black friday. The signal worked during a snowfall last saturday with my set of '80s era rabbit ears.

Repair Crews Reach Vicinity of Damaged Cables In Mediterranean 145

Posted by timothy from the now-we-need-a-plucky-diver dept.
GWMAW writes "A robotic submarine searched beneath the Mediterranean on Sunday for damaged communications cables, two days after Web and telephone access was knocked out for much of the Middle East. Telecommunication providers from Cairo to Dubai continued Sunday to scramble to reroute voice and data traffic through potentially costly detours in Asia and North America after the lines running under the Mediterranean Sea were damaged Friday." According to the article, "Once found, the cable ends will be pulled to the surface and repaired on deck — a process that could take several days."

Submission + - Final Judgment - SCO Loses, Owes $3,506,526 (groklaw.net)

Xenographic writes: "SCO has finally lost to Novell, now that Judge Kimball has entered final judgment against SCO. Of course, this is SCO we're talking about. There's still the litigation in bankruptcy court, which allowed this case to resume so that they could figure out just how much SCO owes, which is $3,506,526, if I calculated the interest properly, $625,486.90 of which will go into a constructive trust. And then there's the possibility that SCO could seek to have the judgment overturned in the appeals courts, or even the Supreme Court when that fails. Of course, they need money to do that and they don't really have much of that any more. Remember how Enderle, O'Gara and company told us that SCO was sure to win? I wonder how many people have emailed them to say, 'I told you so.'"
