Whether everyone knows what UNIX is or why they should or shouldn't call it GNU/Linux, seems relatively insignificant.
I thought it did a reasonable job of conveying the idea of freedom, which in my opinion is the most important goal of such a production.
Being on a platform where Macromedia Flash is unavailable (and gnash still a WIP) and being adverse to proprietary software, I'm wondering if perhaps it might be a good idea for/. to have the following submission requirement:
Able to be viewed without requiring undue work or non-free software.
I second this.
The aircon sitting next to my room has a cooling capacity of 6.4kW, while consuming 2.4kW.
I'm not saying its ultra reliable, but quick google reveals joule.bu.edu/~hazen/LinuxCluster/actut.pdf, stating:
Old inefficient aircons -> performance factor of 1 (1W to remove 1W)
Average modern aircons -> performance factor of 2 (1W to remove 2W)
Efficient modern aircons -> performance factor of 3 (1W to remove 3W)
Whereas what you're saying, 2W to remove 1W, would be a performance factor of 0.5...

There is already the pretty mature and fairly widely used par2 application that already does this.
It's handy for downloading binaries off usenet, where you might lose a few parts.
(Say, only be able to download 18 of the 20 files)
I've also used it to success when burning files to cdr, that have later become corrupted beyond what the cd error correction could handle.
Much recommended!

Not just a video either, a *flash* video.
