The whole idea is brain-dead by tmark · 2003-08-21 06:28 · Score: 0, Flamebait

*Especially* (but not only) at a time when so many networks are still hobbled, I think it's absolutely brain-dead that anybody would think of having people download VIDEO of information that is almost certainly as well represented in text, and certainly more easily distributable. A product review of a router (or was it a firewall) ? An interview with some hacker ? This is stuff that needs to be in *video* ? If they were highlights from the Superbowl, or clips of Bill Gates getting a pie in the face, fine, but by the content they're choosing to distribute it's pretty clear to me that this group is about as clueless as can be.
