Video Streaming Goes Peer-to-Peer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the role-reversal dept.

CMU ESM Project writes "Our research group at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a peer to peer streaming video content distribution system called End System Multicast (ESM). The system constructs a self-organizing and adaptive overlay network using the receivers that are tuning into the broadcast events. The system has been used fairly successfully for quite a few events. Now we want test the system with a lot of more users and different user join patterns. We are streaming some very cool video, such as Triumph of the Nerds by Bob Cringely, distinguished lecture by Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, ACM SIGCOMM conference paper presentation by Dave Clark, and 2002 Sony Legged Robot Soccer Championship. Here is the detailed schedule. So please tune in, enjoy, and help test our system!" The streaming is based on QuickTime; for Linux users, the project page steps through installation of CodeWeaver's CrossOver plug-in.

    Yup yup. This is a reply by the root poster. Transexuals who will rule slashdot will be male to female transexuals. This is the majority group, and as such will rule slashdot.

    There will be a lot of things to come in the future regarding slashdot and transexuals. Programs will be written, and spread through the file sharing systems. The programs will help spread the transgendered word.

    People will be aware of another world of gender identity, and slashdot will be the root carrier of these messages.

    Some people choose to surgically change their sex, others choose not to but live their lives as the xor of their born, genetic sex. Still others feel as if their gender identities switch back and forth from male to female from day to day, week to week or month to month, depending on their mood of the day.

    We are a force many do not understand or are willing to understand. We will turn an innocent media icon into a tool of public education if me must.

    You must be fearful of us, as will will rise and overcome.

    Be patient with us as we only wish to be accepted by the majority population...

    Welcome to TransDot

    Fortunately, it is. And an obvious one, at that. If this is the best the MPAA and RIAA(and their supporters) can come up with, then we KNOW they won't ever get a fucking clue!

    Of course, it could be a reverse-troll ... :-)
