Streaming the Inauguration In a School?
Anonymous Teacher writes "I work in a small school in Washington and we are trying to prepare a way to watch the inauguration in 20 classrooms over a 1.5 T1. As our bandwidth severely limits the ability to individually stream to these rooms, is there an alternative to presenting it to the students? Are there any sites that offer a downloadable copy of the video quickly after the event that can be hosted locally or is reconfiguring the computers to use a proxy server the best solution?"
You are taking time away from education for this? Why? No, this doesn't count as education.
And before that it was radio, before that it press, and before that it was in person. The simple fact is that time changes. I am 49 and would love to have kids see this from the net, rather than the TV.
And every step in that progression you mentioned was an improvement in quality. So you'd rather have kids watch an historic event in grainy, choppy, crappy video where they can barely watch what's going on, rather than in beautiful HDTV where they can see everything? Just so they don't have to see professional analysis (God Forbid!) AFTER the event?
This is one of the most retarded things I've seen posted on Slashdot in a while.
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
You shouldn't even care what race the president is.
With all the mixed people running around, "race"
is getting to be a really backwards idea anyway.
Let me guess... you were part of the affirmative
action vote. Tell me, what is the quota for the
presidency? One token? Preference is still racism,
even if you prefer a "black" person.
I think too many people are over thinking the issue
