FCC Says Analog TV Lives Until 2012

Television
walterbays writes ""The FCC voted 5-0 to require that cable operators
must continue to make all local broadcasts available to their users,
even those with analog televisions." I don't understand how AT&T manages
to deliver U-verse without any analog channels. Did they get it
classified as not-cable and exempt from existing rules? Or as a result
of this vote, will they suddenly have to drop 50 SD channels to make
room for 5 NTSC channels?"

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
