The secondary goal of the video keg was to make a home PVR system for video playback and time-shifting, along with a video arcade and perhaps a web browser. The tertiary goal of the video keg was to find an affordable hardware platform so that we could buy 4 of them immmediately to service the primary goal's need for 4 separate video rooms. For a PVR, the machine neeed to be small, quiet, low-heat, and still fast enough to run the software video player and arcade games."

MythTV? by LightningTH · 2005-11-28 06:03 · Score: 4, Insightful

So how do you get MythTV in the subject when the article is talking about a custom bash script and perl script to play Anime?
Why Fansubs? by Microlith · 2005-11-28 08:17 · Score: 4, Insightful

Considering the entirety of the anime industry is suffering from reduced sales, why is it that a method that is effectively illegal being promoted while the companies that produced this stuff, and legally license it, get the shaft?

Can anyone come up with a valid, sensical reason?
