Blockbuster's Movie Download Box Runs Linux
DeviceGuru writes "In a better-late-than-never move, Blockbuster has introduced a video-on-demand (VOD) service accompanied by a 'free' set-top box (STB). Like TiVo, Roku's Netflix box, and many other modern Internet-enabled A/V gadgets, Blockbuster's new VOD STB runs Linux. But darn it; when will someone finally offer a reasonably-priced, open-platform STB that serves as an A/V gateway to multiple Internet-based services — one consumer-friendly, environmentally-designed, low-power gadget 'to rule them all,' if you will."
So now people don't even read the title of the article?
I'm so excited I just made water in my pantaloons!
Is this not violation of dmca
Simply watching a movie might be... You need to ask a lawyer to know for sure.
Sssh! don't give the Dark Lord any ideas!
Which one.. Jobs or Ballmer?
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.
Dammit is 4chan down again? Could you 4channers go irritate the users at Digg and Ars or at the very least uphold the high standards of trolling we have here at Slashdot?
You see, we here at Slashdot have a long and distinguished history of being a place where truly great trolls learn how to become legendary. Such past alumni include the GNAA, The Penisbird, and of course that guy that makes ASCII Goatse art. Our trolls then go on to long and rewarding fields in a variety of endeavors, such as upper management at Comcast, making policy at several government organizations like the FCC, and hey, do you know how thought up the "Vista Capable" program that caused countless PC consumers nothing but grief? That's right! A former Slashdot troll!
So in conclusion, please think of the past greats in the history of trolling whose footsteps you are following in before you post. Do you think they would be proud of you screaming "fag" like a 14 year old that just lost a deathmatch in Halo? No, they would hang their heads under their mighty bridges in sadness. Please think before you troll and one day maybe you could join those great trolls and have YOUR picture on the wall at the great trolling hall of fame(which is in the men's john at the Hooters in Newark, NJ). Good luck, and may you have a long and successful career in trolling here at Slashdot.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
I'm tellin' Steve!
Sig this!
I'm a big hostile blob, you insensitive clod.
I asked my lawyer, she told me to stop downloading porn. Moral: never date a lawyer
