    > Can video be sent wirelessly?

    Just imagine if this were possible! We could just put the screens in our living rooms, and people could broadcast all kinds of entertainment to us! It would be a sort of Radio but with moving pictures!

    Ah, we can but dream of a time when such marvels might be possible!


    But it is! We just got 100:1 compression too! Now we'll be able to send full screen video over FM radio!!

    No doubt you could use mount --bind to get that, of course having 5x mounts for each vserver is gonna start looking ugly

    Uh, I take it you've never been to whitehouse.com?

    Note how beautifully hierarchical the .us construction is. Most ccTLDs (such as .nl) have a yucky flat namespace, just like .com

    This is wrong, _MOST_ country codes are actually nicely layed out, just _some_ like .nl, or .de are crappy and flat.

    For examples of nicely layed out ccTLDs look at .nz or .uk or .jp or .th or .....

  5. Well, nice pictures but.... on Microsoft Releases First X-Box Screens · · Score: 1

    Won't these be plugged into TV's which, compared to a nice monitor (even 800x600!) are a crap resolution?

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'd look at a distribution called Trustix. This sounds like what your looking for.

  7. Re:Similar monopoly in New Zealand on Australian TelCo Required To Grant Loop Access · · Score: 1

    Telecom also offer a DSL service - but they are not the only business to do so. Paradise Net also offer it. I'm not sure how their arrangement works with Telecom but they have managed to get it for their customers.

    Unfortunitely, the way Telecom have structured pricing is to ensure thier profits. The way ADSL works in NZ is that you get a ADSL line, and you pick a ISP (that supports ADSL). You can take your pick of a plan, 600mb, 1.5gb or 3gb then 25c/mb after that. BUT, the way the pricing is structured is that you pay that traffic charge to Telecom, and the poor ol' ISP only gets a $20/mo for thier trouble.
