Slashdot Mirror
Full-Screen Video Over 28.8k: The Claims Continue
gwernol writes "Over at Screen Daily they are claiming that an Australian company has demonstrated a high quality, full-screen video-on-demand service that is delivered over a 28.8k modem. They claim this will 'eliminate the need for broadband.' If this is true, then they'll change the world. Of course, the basic technology has been around for a while, see this article from 1998 or this one from earlier this year. I remain extremely sceptical. If this is real, why won't they allow proper independent testing? But it is interesting that they're getting funding. Could this be the last great Internet scam?"
Several readers also pointed out this brief report at imdb.com as well. We've mentioned this before, but the news here is the reportedly successful demo. It would be a lot easier to swallow if he'd let people test it independently, but video-over-28.8 sure is tantalizing.

Where is Doug Miller?
Problems:
*People can post just characters thousands of lines long and fuck up the entire system.
*The moderation scheme is totally screwed. good posts are not getting moded up, bad posts are not getting modded down. Mod points just don't seem to exist. What little points there are are used to get rid of the thousand line junk character posts. The only posts going to 4 and 5 are slashdot editor buddies.
*Slashdot.org refuses connection 1/3 of the time now instead of 1/4.
*Error messages out the ass.
Don't use the new slashcode. It really sucks bad.
THE ERRORS ARE EVEN FUCKED: look...

Well, what do you know, he's right!
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?

Does anyone want to see a full screen video of me and my 16 year old sister pressing hello kitty vibrators against our nubile japanese pussy lips through our pink cotton panties? Its a good one, especially where you can see my panties get a wet spot cause the pressure and vibration gets me so hot.

Why? Hmmmm...
International Workers of the World, unite!
Look for...the Union Label.
Just say...Union, yes!
Big, bloated government unions with coercive monopolies that can, legally, jail any competitors.
Socalism now, socialism forever!
If you really knew what Communism was, you'd pray for it!
I am for the complete Trantorization of Earth.

/. Australian people, dunno if it's a true Britishism :) but that's what I'd guess. Not that I'm a perfect speller, but this one is OK.
I see this spelling a lot from British

THIS IS A SCAM. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Look at the bitrates. It is not possible.
You mean a bit like This Video???
Fascinating use of technology I'm sure you'd agree.
Fucking gook!
