1. Comment - I'm changing my passwords, shouldn't you?

   > How often you do you change all the locks on your house?
   
   My locks are electronic, my "keys" are HID cards. No two people have identical "keys" to my house. I can control who has access to what and when via programming. My kids have badges and use three-factor authentication.
   
   I do not need to change locks for that reason.

2. Comment - Hauppauge HD PVR and Windows Media Center: Is it the working-class TiVo?

   Too little, too late.
   
   I'm tired of this cat and mouse game of broadcasters trying stop people from watching programs, and viewers trying to outsmart the broadcasters so they can watch TV again.
   
   TV was a great invention, it peaked and is now rocketing into the ground.
   
   Back in the 80's were the glory days. I had a 12 foot dish. Hundreds of excellent channels. No commercials, no crawls, popups, banners or garbage. Now even PBS has ruined their content.
   
   TV is dead. It is worthless crap. My tivo is 11 years old now, when it finally dies, I'm done. I won't be replacing it with anything.
   
   I don't understand why broadcasters hate their audience so much, but, it's a free country (unless you are trying to watch TV, then its not a free country).
   
   I hope all the networks go out of business and spend their retirements living in refrigerator boxes. And as they continue to lose viewers, I hope they realize that they are the reason.

3. Comment - Creative Suite 5 Student and Teacher Edition licensing-key scheme deserves a failing grade

   I won't be buying this stuff anyway, but I have to wonder about one thing.
   
   My kids are home schooled. I wonder how they handle that?
   If they don't - then we can handle it in a court room.

4. Comment - Keystream tech puts TV ads in 'empty' spaces of moving images

   Angela, you think that only a "handful" of people will stop watching tv, I don't agree. Almost ALL of the people I talk to have drastically cut their tv viewing over the past 7 years specifically because of the "bugs", "crawls" and "popup ads" that infest all the programming these days. My viewing has dropped 90% for this reason. I am an early adopter when it comes to technology, yet I have not gone HD or widescreen, and I'm not planning to. The reason: there is no longer any enjoyment out of television because of the constant interruptions. I don't want to see little animated cartoons dancing around on top of the program I am TRYING to watch. It is extremely annoying. We are already talking about canceling our Tivo and satellite services, this would be the nail in the coffin. I would NEVER watch tv again if this happened, and I will likely never watch again anyway. It seems the broadcasters are desperately looking for ways to alienate their viewers. I just don't get it. Oh, and for the record, I have not seen a tv commercial since 1998 (the classic kind I mean). We are paying over $60 a month for service that is basically unwatchable garbage.
