Open Source TV
Lish writes "Everyone's favorite tech prognosticator, Robert X Cringely, is going to do a TV show called 'NerdsTV.' It will be available on the web and playable on pretty much any system. The cool part is, they will provide three video versions: one geared at techies, one for suits, and one with all the raw footage so you can edit your own version to your heart's content. There will also be audio-only versions in Ogg and Mp3. All of this is freely redistributable."
An interesting innovation. That reminds me of these two tramps walking down the street who spot a large amount of partially digested food puked out the night before.
The first tramp kneels down and starts tucking in to it. After a while he turns round to the second tramp who is just standing there and asks "what's the matter? Aren't you hungry?"
The second tramp just smiles and says "nah, I'll wait a while."
So anyway the first tramp eats it all up. They walk along and sure enough, the first tramp pukes it all up everywhere.
"Ah! Just what I was waiting for," exclaims the second tramp, "a hot meal!"
Finally! A way to install OpenBSD without printing the FAQ.
But at least we'll be able to afford control towers and doomsday machines to get them back.
The "hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's porch" is an old Johnny Carson joke. Do a google search for "Carnac the Magnificent"
How do you compile a TV show?
