    videos of Asimo

    You deserve your +5 informative, but you could have warned us that they were streams. I started about 6 of 'em in tabs before I realised what I had done.

    And off course, everytime the robot starts doing something interresting the video stream craps out for 2 seconds. It sure SOUNDS like he's doing something neat.

    Man I hate streaming, why do people do this? Hate, is it hate of mankind? Some kind of irrational need to let people know there's something cool to see, but not actually letting them see it...

    P.S. Hey, what gives, since when can't you put in "greater than" and "smaller than" signs on slashdot? My rant tag looks all crappy now : (
