but for crissakes don't use trad distribution channels. A weekly show available via bittorrent would be cool.
On a related subject with the rendering power of modern GPUs has anybody thought about doing a Max Headroom type show, maybe not music but current affairs or some such.

All of these could be seen as scrap metal but to some people they become important. It's the same with old computers, what I would give to run a some jobs on a B4955, nostalgia has great value.
Given the current malaise of the computing industry looking forward and back to better times is a way of get over the crap we currently have to deal with.
It means that you should not build intelligence into the net. It should be the dumbest message passing protocol it can be. Multicast would force routers to gain an intelligence level beyond the basic message passing.
As I understand it, the reason you do not want inteeligence in the middle is that the whole infrastructure has to be upgraded or changed at once. There is a lot of inertia in installed systems so changes are delayed.
A good fist fight does more to clear the air than any number of discussions. In the UK the reason the benches in parliment are the distance apart they are is that it is greater then two sword lengths.
Still have the ZX81, sold the speccy to buy a BBC Model B, sold the beeb to buy a PC. Then started working on mainframes, System/36, System/38 and AS/400, RS/6000 etc etc etc. That Clive Sinclair fellow has a lot to answer for!
Currently I have a P4 thingy and an old AS/400.
Also, I'm building some 8bit single board machines. Z80, 6502, 8086, 6800. Good fun, though running them at 1mhz doesn;t really get anything done.
The day I start worrying about what's written in the press is the day I hang up my keyboard. Given that they cannot accurately report any tech story I'm meant to worry up this crap.

Great, four US workers for one indian, how's that for effciency.
Yeah,

Well hello lego nazi, what else do you do for kicks.
relax it's only /. not the times.

As long as it helps Microsoft, I highly doubt that Microsoft would be concerned about the ethics of doing such a thing.
Screw SHITY raid go for hardware. Buy an arco duplidisc and two ide disks. Then make regular backups of your valuable data and send them of site.

I thought every linux hacker knew about this. Looks damn similar to the original

Multicast is not a good option for the internet.
Yep you read that right. Despite all the research and money multicast fails to follow one of the tenents of the net, intelligence at the edge.
This is such a great oversight that is dooms multicast from ever taking off.
The future of TV is something akin to bittorrent. Intelligence at the edges that scales as audience size increases.

But is it self aware? At present I would doubt it, but maybe in the future, just maybe.
:-)
This I find fascinating. The moral ramifications are huge.
For starters if it becomes self aware, is it alive like us? If so are we no more than complex machines or is there something else?

OK,
half of it is in London, the other half in San francisco.

Dual monitor + VMWare, the most productive set up I've used. Now if only NVida would get R+R working then my manuals would display correctly.

Just one question.
Have you _EVER_ played chess?
Look for QEMU or MOL
Yep,
but having moved to the big country from the rainy one I can tell you. They don't have MicroMart, Loot, Exchange and Mart etc.
Nothing wrong with Cornwall, hmm clotted cream and scones.
I've just read that rossjp likes to publicly demonstrate how stupid (s)he is.
