So did I. I got a secondary machine for the living room, networked it with the main one, and put freevo there. now, it runs Azureus all the time, with RSSImporter plugin configured to download 24, carnivale, las-vegas and more - and it does it automatically whenever a new episode pops up. (I hooked it to btefnet.net torrents rss feed). this is all very nice, I live in Israel, and it takes time for shows to get here, if they get here at all, and when they do, if they play at the wrong time, you are screwed, also, there are way too much commercials on some channels here - so the "torrents channel" gives a great solution. in fact, I like this arrangement so much, that I will soon disconnect from my satellite tv provider.
You didn't hear anything about buffer overflow in DOS simply because there are much simpler way to run arbitrary code, whenever you want. you can simply register an interrupt handler, for the clock, if you need to do something every clock tick, or to int21 (dos function calls) if you want to do something when a program calls dos functions.
Segway uses a gyroscope to do just that, and I guess this unicycle thingie does the same. you might ask how a gyroscope helps, but think why you can balance a boiled egg on its tip by spinning it quickly round the long axis. gyro works the same way, only the axis does not have to be vertical, it can also be horizontal, and there can be more than one gyroscopes, so you "lock" certain axises, and get the balance you need.

not dumb, profitable.
people are willing to pay more for more dvd's, so it seems.

sendmail buffer overflow gives about 57000 results.
windows buffer overflow, otoh, gives 186000 results.

Serenity should be comming soon.
Rejoice.
