This thing appears to be running a Hitachi SuperH processer, for which there's already a linux port. (this is the chip the Dreamcast uses) Perhaps we can get some nice nintendo emus ported over and really waste our free time!
What the hell is "the law of demand/offer"? It seems directly in opposition to real economic laws (scarcity and price inflation) that actually exist. Freakin' Canadians.
The compression seems to be due to a pre-existing tokenized form of data rather than some universal ".zip for your web page" type thing. If I figure out that I can query your server faster by throwing a rock at you and asking how it is than by remote administration tools, does that mean I've created some miracle compression and should be able to deliver full motion video if I just use a bigger rock?

Heh... you made my IE BSOD... No, wait, I mean "I don't use IE!"
I, for one, didn't read the other article and found this post useful. Since I don't have time to read everyt article I don't see where an occasional cross/repost is harmful (barring spam-level proportions)
Actually, the Disney corporation tried to sue major VCR manufacturers in the early 80's because they were used for "pirating" copywrited works. I don't remember specifics but I believe the judge ruled against them because VCRs have a few legitimate uses, like home movies or cable-access shows that give explicit permission to copy. That fact also seems pertinent to the whole RIAA vs. MP3 argument, and I'm interested in seeing how someone can get around such a clear-cut precedent.
What's the big deal with EM worries? I run an O/C Celeron 400 with all kinds of sensitive parts (SBLive, DVD Decoder, etc.) just thrown caseless into a tiny little wood cabinet and I don't get the slightest bit of noise or interference in anything. I always figured the shielding bit was one of those stupid FCC regs that could be safely ignored.
Odd that you, as a seeming Mac afficianado, would quote a person who nearly tanked the company, and was "replaced" because his management sucked so badly.
Ok, it took me a while to get back, but here's the basic idea:
I already cabled the house before the walls were finished. I'm definately putting a full system in each major room (bedrooms, kitchen, living room, etc.) so I'm not looking for a dumb terminal or thin client type solution.
The idea was that, since MP3 and DVD are totally digital, there's no sense trying to pipe analog output around the house on a seperate set of wires, or wasting more space on stereo components in every room, if I could use the network as a sort of distributed entertainment center. I was particularly interested in focusing on the server for input and storage, and the living room box for high-end output. Every other machine would need average capabilities, but only stereo sound output. I have heard that the Diamond MX3000 sound card has hardware AC3 decoding capabilities, and even if it isn't yet supported under Linux I'm looking at the long term.

Your honour, we would like the record to show that on the night of December 20th, one "Anonymous Coward" requested hot grits. Thank you.

Are you an angel sent down from heaven to save us all? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
