According to this web site (http://dtvfacts.com/latest/530/how-many-americans-watch-tv-over-the-air/) approximately 15.5 million U.S. households watch TV over the air exclusively - presumably receiving analog (NTSC) signals. So a significant number of households will be affected. But they've already delayed the digital TV switch over once. I would recommend that they free up the necessary funds to provide the coupons for the folks who need them.

Firewall Recommendations? 181
anomalous cohort asks: "The company that I work for is looking at upgrading to a proper firewall (sadly, we use only the MS-ISA server now). Our I.T. guy is ready to recommend Fortigate [45]00a. Ours is a small company with about a dozen employees and about 400 customers. Does anybody have any experiences, good or bad, with these two products or with the Fortinet company? Are there any recommended firewalls (outside of Cisco's) that we should seriously look at?"
Submission + - Getting the most out of a CS degree?
Henry writes: "In September I start on a CS-type degree course. I am probably a fairly typical newbie programmer, in that most of my knowledge centers around scripting and high to very high level programming. Apart from the obvious — write lots of code — what can I do in the coming months to maximize what I get out of this? There's much to choose from: languages, concepts, mathematics and so on. From previous stories I know that many Slashdotters have strong opinions on the failings and weaknesses of university courses and students, so please feel free to let it all out."
