After some discussion, and many a call to customer service representatives, it became apparent that Frontier is purposely setting the CCI byte to Copy Once, which for all intents and purposes locks down the content to being played on one TiVo.

In addition, IBM announced that in May it will start supplying in volume two new 20G-byte and 30G-byte Travelstar hard drives to major notebook vendors, including Compaq, Dell, Gateway and the IBM Personal Systems Group.
Not much anyone can do since the FCC does allow the Copy Once CCI byte to be set on non-broadcast TV, but still, it sucks for those who are affected.

Iridian uses a 512-byte code to verify the identity of anyone seeking access to restricted areas and its technology has never allowed access to an unauthorized person, according to the company.
HotShot accomplishes this mostly by absorbing strings of up to 100 Java byte-codes at once, each consisting of eight bits of information.
Technology has provided us with an infinite number of byte-sized ways to record our lives, but maybe what we really need is an easy way to swallow the best bite-sized memories.

Not just that: it needed capital to finance a major production shift to the next generation of 64-byte DRAMs that will replace the current 16-byte model late next year.
But knowing my detection circuitry I was able to come up with special codes that were not data but caused the reader to synchronize on the start of a byte.

While Toshiba's sittin' pretty with its 200GB perpendicular laptop drive, Samsung is finally deciding to join Hitachi, Seagate, and Western Digital (just to name a few) in the perpendicular byte stacking game.

Only a few of these modular components have been designed so far: the AVR-X (an Arduino-compatible microcontroller), FRAM-X (512 byte chunks of stackable Ferroelectric RAM) and ADC-X (an 8-channel analog to digital converter).
