It happened many times over the course of history.
Name three instances. Be as specific as possible.
Digital cable normally works unidirectionally, think multicast. The header sends information for all the receivers, is not point to point like the internet. So, it doesn't matter that you don't want to see the channel, they still have to send it because somebody else *might* want to see it. And, yes, the channel guide travels in the "background".
That's mostly correct but some providers are trialling switched digital video (google it), which will only add to the latency issue.
Yeah, except this isn't 250 gigs, it's 31.25 gigs, also known as 250 gigabits.
Except it's not:
"As of October 1, 2008, data usage above 250 Gigabytes ("GB") per month per Comcast High-Speed Internet residential customer account is considered excessive."

But if you want to pretend that any given gay men are just as likely to like sports as musical theater, I'm certainly not stopping you.
It might depend on the crowd and especially on the sport.
None of the gay dudes I know are into musical theatre, but they all love soccer. Go figure.
Life imitating art?

I'm not sure I that most Americans appreciate just how right wing, conservative, pretty, ill-educated, reactionary, selfish, jingoistic, partisan, anti-intellectual, anti-science and anti-reason US politics appears from the external point of view.
From your external point of view, or from the point of view that's been sold to you by your own media and politicians? I'm sure it's pleasing to imagine that you hold some privileged frame of reference, but maybe it's possible that the people telling you these things are telling you the things you want to hear, and the things they want you to believe.
absolutely wrong.
The hdmi audio output is not selectable in win 7 because it is "not plugged in" unless the tv is tuned to the hdmi channel during boot up of the machine, even if the cable is never unplugged.
You've got crappy drivers, then - I can select HDMI out and set it as the default output whether there's anything plugged in or not. Try newer drivers or a better audio card. Either way, it's clearly not the OS.
I've never understood why all companies want to locate themselves in Baltimore when there's plenty of room in nearby Frederick or Bel Air or Annapolis.
I'd be willing to live in any of those towns.
Putting the office in Frederick a great idea if your workers live in Frederick, but for those who live in Aberdeen, it's not so hot.
The reason for opening up shop in the city is because it's centrally located, and hence equally inconvenient for everyone
US law does not ban simulated child pornography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._Free_Speech_Coalition
Yes it does - "PROTECT Act" (2003):
The PROTECT Act includes prohibitions against illustrations depicting child pornography, including computer-generated illustrations, also known as virtual child pornography.[1][2][4] Provisions against virtual child pornography in the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 had been ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2002. However, the provisions of the Protect Act are distinct, since they establish the requirement of showing obscenity as defined by the Miller Test, which was not an element of the 1996 law.
Further, US
... laws ban simulated ... depictions of child abuse and pornography.
Uh, not quite. See Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234 (2002).
Yes, quite. See "PROTECT Act" (2003): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROTECT_Act_of_2003 The short version is obscenity can, as always, be prosecuted, and the PROTECT Act remedied the missing element in CPPA, which was the law struck down in Ashcroft, thus once again allowing the prosecution of virtual child pornography found to be obscene.
Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
