#1 - I agree with your first comment for the most part. I have found some 'universal' remotes from some cable providers that are actually EASY to program! AND the direction to program are printed(from the factory I think) on the bottom of the remote! It does take some time because it requires you to hold a key(volume up I think) until your device turns off. But when I have had to do it I could program a TV and another device like VCR in less than 10 minutes WITHOUT having the book to program it!
I guess my point is that, it is possible to make a good universal remote. Somebody just needs to make one NOT laid out for a cable box. And it would be nice if you could buy it for a cheap price at normal stores.
I guess I'm confused over what you are saying...are you making the distinction between degrading a type of service and giving priority to a type of service? I agree with you in that giving priority to some types of traffic, VOIP then lower say actual web browsing, then lower yet, p2p downloads. Meaning all 3 packets come in, route VOIP to the next hop first, then immediately route the other packets.(yes I know there are other types of traffic, I'm just using these 3 as examples) However I think they are talking about just overall artificial degrading of a type of traffic. Sort of like if traffic=p2p then lag=10ms. Artificially degrading a type of traffic is wrong, IMHO. Can any of the router guys out there talk to the technical feasibility of these two types of traffic altering, or am I way off base?
So, it seems like this is a continuation of what XP did, do any new motherboards have ISA anymore? it's been a long time since I've seen one, and I can't think of any ISA card worth running today...
This sounds just like when Atat/SBC charged me $3 a month for NOT having long distance on a line. Correct there is a charge for NOT having a service!!!
Too bad the moderation on the parent post is wrong. I'd say it's far to realistic to be marked "Funny" I'm not saying the current way things are is right, just that is the way it is.
To me it seems like the great features of your setup is your softare, of course made possible by FLAC. Now if you wrote some software that handels this, as you sort of implied, hey great you ROCK!!! Can you share it? or does it belong to your employeer if you did it at work?? Or is it software anyone can get open source or closed? Of course I am talking about the part where you use unique ID's to "create a Artist/Album/Track hierachy which again can be changed at at time fairly trivially"Trivially being the key word.
One aspect that nobody seems to be talking about here is server room growth. Without actually looking up the numbers I would say I've added 2 or 3 servers for every 1 server removed from the racks. My point being that the MHz/Watt (or whatever metric of computer power to electrical draw you want to use) is increasing but NOT at the rate that technology improves. We continue with each generation to hold on to and use older and older equipment. Of course perhaps other shops have the type of budget to always replace older stuff with newer or more power efficient equipment.
Yes those add to cost, as well as HD qualified production gear. Although apple has come out with some decent HD production gear and a shop can get in buisness for $20k(for the editor) then at least $10k for a decent HD camera. Not that those costs are giant, but depending on where they are in their upgrade cycle it can really hurt the bottom line. In addition to that and what you brought up there is the matter of the additional man hours to make the content look good, as in you can get away with some shots and edits in SD that you just can't in HD. So my point is, depending on the shop 25% more is not that unreasonable.

Call me crazy, but I thought that ISA support was removed from Windows with XP?

OK, a quick Google search comes up with ISA NON-plug/pray support is removed, so that is a portion of ISA products.
see articles like this for reference http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutoria

Sorry for OT
