Slashdot Mirror

There are a decent number of companies (and non-profit orgs) that do exactly this sort of thing. Most of the big content distributors (iTunes, MySpace, CNN, etc) use at least one of them. The problem is that these companies work for the content distributor, not the ISP - the CDN "takes the bullet" for the content provider's main servers to offload demand, not offload capacity to the ISP. Unless the ISP sites one or more of the CDN's proxies at the customer edge of their network (which is not uncommon, but hardly ubiquitous), the ISP still has to pay to move the traffic to their customers from the proxy, and if they did have one it would be in their POP, not next to every DSLAM and cable head-end, which mean the path between the CDN proxy and the customer still has the same bandwidth requirements.

woo! off topic but check out the new trailer to the film

Well, here's the quicktime directly...

Much better.

You can download the trailer from the movie's website. Get the highest resolution quicktime version here .

That's the old teaser trailer. You can get it from Apple, too. The new one's on Amazon... hopefully popping up elsewhere soon. (btw, there's a space in your URL, so the link doesn't work unless you delete it: like so.

And of course if I wasn't a moron by assuming slashcode wouldn't butcher the text, here's a clickable one:

people are repetitive creatures too scared to admit their own mistakes.

everything has been said, yet the mistakes continue to sting the pride.

It's true that the still image doesn't look like what people would expect, there's a video clip of him walking here and it fits Marvin's decription well.

Here (big file). Seen on Dark Horizons today.

Not sure if this counts as being leaked (seeing as how it's starting to inch its way all over the place), but this is one definitely hilarious new 'underground' trailer for Pixar's The Incredibles.

Not quite sure where they found that guy, but he pretty much perfectly captures the average Slashdot reader (doesn't he? -- grin!)

Oops, that was the old one, the new one is here.

You can directly get the huge version.
