You're absolutely right. I'll bet anything the Google staff are staunch environmentalists, concerned about global warming, and want you to ride the bus.

The paper (which I have not read) does not adequately address what is happening. The multicast router nearest the home (owned by the service provider - ie a telco) has knowledge of your subscription list. This is now mature technology, say since 2001-2. Therefore, when your STB (set top box) makes an IGMP join request the multicast router confirms or denies the request and starts streaming video over UDP multicast.
That is how the multicast works. In the single VOD (video on demand) case, a full billing session takes place and an RTSP/TCP session sets up the UDP stream. That would be a bit slower, yet much faster than just getting up and putting a DVD in the player.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.
"Broadcast stations" (some call it DTV) are sent using multicast IGMPv2. Very simple, very open. Security is done at the network switch - if you don't pay, you don't get the join.
"Video on Demand (VOD) is point-to-point RTSP (also an open standard with an RFC). Interoperability is tested against an array of VOD server vendors, the "big fish" being N-cube.
I worked for Myrio for 4 years. I am the engineer that wrote (and rewrote) the SigmaDesigns MPEG device driver and X Video overlay (among many other components) for the i3 and Fujitsu boxes.
Wave to the company (Hi Ryan, Hi Eddy, Hi Torrey) Torrey also worked for Myrio and started earlier than I did. He did the remote update piece, bootloader, among many other parts.
The coolest thing Torrey did was write a download activeX control that rebooted the original Win98 deployed box into our homegrown Linux. He should write such a virus for Outlook some day.
Its a good company, but after 4 years... eh...
The Myrio solution works, servers, real-time commercially available encoders, STB's from a good range of companies with more in the pipe (see their website www.myrio.com for the whole schpiel).
It will be interesting to see what MSFT has to offer. At the last CES there were no STB's running MSTV.net (or whatever it is). It was all Pentium PC's masquerading as STB's (if you disconnected the STB ethernet cable, the video still played - really new *AWESOME* technology).
After reading so many of these posts, and even one from a supposed "parent of 10" (bullshit), I've got news for the overwhelming majority of you slashdotters:
Pornography isn't Sex. Its not even Sex Education.
Perhaps its time to _put_the_computer_down_, get outside, and see that there is a great big world out there. Real people doing real things.
D00d, try out for a sport. I bet my 14 year old daughter could kick your ass - and therein lies the problem. Since you have no capacity to interact with normal people on a daily basis, you revert to porn. Because my daughter can kick your ass, you have to revert to "women" who have no capacity to say "no", or comment on what a pathetic loser you are.
While running rampant as a majority on slashdot, you're in the vast minority in your highschool. Probably just waiting for a chance to go Columbine on all those who done you dirt, don't give you no respect, etc.
Grow a pair, and grow up. Mummy and Daddy will on ly pay for your cable modem for a few more years. GET A JOB.
I have kids of similar age as yours. Asking the slashdotters whether teenagers should be allowed to surf porn -- ummm, is the Pope Catholic? Does a wild bear...?
My kids know that I log _everything_, that while I may not have the skillset of the best sysadmin, I know iptables and keep a running ethereal session open at times. I watch the wire, and everyone knows it.
Even at late teen years, suburban kids lead a rather sheltered life. While kids just a few years older than yours are under fire in Baghdad, that does not mean that your kids have grown up to that maturity level - even though their ages may be equivalent. Anyone who thinks otherwise is pathetically naive, and likely more immature than your 13 year old.
While they are under your roof, you are still training them. They are still building habits that will last their lifetime. If your kids were really mature enough to surf uncensored, then they'd be out on their own, earning their paycheck, paying for their own connection. It really is that simple.
It isn't pretty, it isn't fun, but it is your responsibility - you dare not shirk it.
I was able to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein on my Linux based Dell 8200 laptop last night, in 1600x1200 resolution - and it was a beautiful thing to behold.
This is false. The register/memory space of the device can be mapped to user space and registers and memory can be written directly without context switching. There is no penalty for doing so.
No - this is a "brainer". Interestingly, the CleanFlicks have pre-empted this argument through their "cooperative" ownership agreement. Since you are a share holder of the purchased media, you are merely contracting CleanFlicks to edit what is a cooperative's jointly held asset.

The reason WW2 brought us our of The Depression, was rationing, huge deficit spending and high output manufacturing.
We already done our deficit spending.
There is nothing manufactured.
Oops.
Wow, is that a blast from the past... Qbert, Proscan, Widescreen. I was there baby when the Princeton Engine was the bomb.

Also Myrio...
More notes on the Myrio system:

I mean who gives a crap.
Absolutely true. The fact is that Linux is the future and the distros are pretty standard.
Once the Makefile is written its easy to modify for cross compiling - something ridiculous under auto-crap.
GNU MAKE forever!
2nd the motion. I love my backpack, and its much more functional than a brief type bag. 2 hands free.
Damn straight. So what's your point?
What? Jerking off while driving down the street reading kiddie porn?
Perfectly normal saith the slasdotter.
