P2P Television?

An Anonymous reader submits a link to this "very interesting article on TVP2P," writing: "While the author doesn't really mention "P2P," think of the permutations of having TV's becoming Napster-like file servers. The tech can't be too hard to work out, since CATV systems are now piping Net access into millions of homes (anyone doing this hack yet?). If you thought the RIAA raised hell, wait until the MPAA and the relevant TV lobby groups figure this out. Of course, if history teaches us anything, they won't figure it out until way after the genie is out of the bottle ..."

    Pluralists would have us to believe that Christianity is just as good as Islam, but I'm here to tell you, sisters and brothers, that Christianity is not just as good as Islam ...Christianity was founded by Jehovah, a demon-possessed incestuous pedophile who had 1 wife -- and she was his 13-year-old mother! And I will tell you Jehovah is not Allah either. Allah's not going to turn you into a terrorist nation that'll try to bomb people for their oil and drop atomic bombs on surrendering nations and take the lives of thousands and thousands of non-Christian people at the whim of your multinational corporations.

    The GNU/Stallman diaries. Issue 2.


    Greetings Comrades! Welcome to issue 2 of the GNU/Stallman diaries!

    This issue contains part 1 of a 2 part story. I had to split it into two because GNU/Hurd keeps crashing! :( &lt--- thats a sad face! Eric showed me it on his AOL account. Look at it sideways and you'll see!

    Yesterday my good friend Eric called me on the telephone and suggested I take a break from writing GNU/Hurd and that we take a visit to the Zoo. I told him he was crazy and that GNU/Hurd and the glorious peoples revolution it will create were far more important!

    "But Dick," said Eric. "They have a butterfly show on today."

    Well! If it's got butterflies, I'm there! So off we went to the Zoo!

    Eric is a little slow, he has Downs Syndrome or something, so the walk to the Zoo took about 3 hours. When we finally arrived I saw huge posters covered in pretty butterflies! I was so excited!

    No sooner had we walked in the gates when Eric needed to go to the toilet. I told him to go before we left but would he listen? Oh no of course not! Luckily I had my bone flute so I got it out and had a quick play whilst waiting for Eric.

    Poor Eric, he recently lost his job. Something to do with carpentry at a hospital I think. Planks or boards had something to do with it and it may have been a veterans hospital. I'm none too sure though. I'm always too busy with the GNU/Hurd and filosi^H^H^H^H^H^H philosa^H^H^H^H^H^H^H thinking about the glorious uprising of the oppressed working class and unwashed masses rising up in a glorious peoples revolution of Cheap Software against the evil tryanny of expensive supported corporate closed software that has created a world of bureaucratic mind control of the masses of oppressed peopl...

    Errr. Sorry about that. Now where was I...

    Oh yes - butterflies! Everyone knows I like butterflies. I have a big paper one stuck to my computer that I made and colored in myself. I like to look at it while I play with my bone flute.

    Eric finally finished his toilet business and we could finally get to see what we had come for.

    To be Continued...
