Three Minutes With Mark Cuban
Thomas Hawk writes "Mark Cuban, owner of the Mavericks, HDNET, blogger extraordinaire and all around tech visionary really, really gets it. Read on for his views on Media Center, content delivery via hard drive instead of DVD, movie conversions to HD, Home entertainment, etc."
I get first post, AND I get to call... DUPE!!!!!!!!
It's nice to know what some "imporant" guy thinks, but what about the real people not on company payrolls?
There's no place like localhost
Fuck Mark Cuban and the dotcom crap he rode in on. Wasn't there a slashdot topic on how he claimed that larger file sizes were the cure for video "piracy"?
eat shiat and bark at the moon
WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK?!
DUPE DUPE
If you can't tell already this is like the 4th article on slashdot about Mark Cuban. His cash has already invaded the slashdot space.
Don't piss him off or he'll pay the modders to put you at "-5 troll for eternity."
"...blogger extraordinaire and all around tech visionary really, really gets it."
He's about as "tech visionary" as the cheesy buildup under my farmer's hat. Seriously, Slashdot has got to stop with the hero worship bullshit. It's tedious, predictable and fucking pathetic.
I can't believe that anyone here really believes that Mark Cuban is really a tech visionary. He's a great salesman and a compulsive liar. Put those together and you get what he really is . . . a con artist.
Don't waste any more neural output on this guy. Enough people have paid their hard-earned savings/investments and free time to fund his shenanigans. Where is that 4 Billion dollars of value that yahoo paid for broadcast.com? No where useful. It's been wasted on stupid hobbies, sports teams, hookers and shallow pet-rocks like his blogging. (The hookers are there because the guy is too smarmy to have legitamate human contact). This guy epitomizes the worst part of the dot-com boom. Engineers brought real value, entrepreneurs took risks to advance information technology, and snakes like this guy hurt everybody.
I've been on the other side of the table during business deals with this guy. He knows quite a bit about technology and he uses it exclusively to steal funding from venture funds who are trying to do the right thing who don't know any better. In the process he likes to sound like an engineer to fool the business guys and ridicule legitamate engineers who try to speak the truth. Did we buy his crap? NO WAY. Did other people who were more ready to get bent over the negotiating table. . . you betcha. He is very good at wasting a lot of time and taking peoples money. Don't let him waste your time.
If you spent any more time thinking about Mark Cuban, it should be figuring out how to keep his hands out of your pockets.
The parent poster is a prick! Do us all a favor and reformat his hdd as soon as you log in!

> And then there's your concern that a high fidelity, minimal-commentary feed from the battlefield is too.... what? realistic? unrealistic? too much shock and awe, or not enough?
My concern is that a fucking war is not entertainment.
"5.1 surround sound battlefield". during that time, terrorists are chopping off innocents heads, american soldiers are raping young girls, children are crying over their dead parent bodies, large graves are filled with unknown corpses, insane amount of money is changing hands.
""But we didn't knew", will say the American public. "If atrocities are not broadcasted in 5.1 surrond sound, how do we want us to know they occured ?"
