I was sitting around pondering the potential uses of my Playstation 2 linux kit. With all the limitations Sony installed into it, you can't scale it into much more than it already is; a development platform for games. But then it hit me, the Playstion 2 w/ linux would be the perfect P2PTV platform! A standardized hardware interface, almost all with TV's attached, and ethernet connections... all that's needed now is for some clever hacker to whip up some GPL'd software made to interface with the Playstation's API's and viola! Hook it into Gnutella or one of the other new P2P protocols and you'll already have a huge filebase. Hell there's 30 million PS2 units worldwide right now, that's quite a market. The PS2 could even be the new P2P marketing platform. If Sony (or even Gameshark or somebody) could sell an authenticcation service through the PS2 w/ some P2P software, damn i think they'd be in business.

P2P Television?

Imagine harnessing the power of 30 million Playstation 2s out there and hacking up a badass TVP2P linux client for the PS2 linux kit. Every PS2 has got a TV on it anyways, might as well put it to use as a P2P television browser. Takes Cable Access to a whole new meaning. You could make a Japanese gameshow, and really market in Japan! All we need is a Distribution thrown together based on Sony's linux with all necessary software thrown on, and viola.... --P2PTV--
I've thought about that before. I've got a similar theory involving math. There's no such thing as a random number right? Well given that, every thing we observe in life or nature had to be caused/effected by something prior. Evolution is just like an ever-evolving math formula. The farther we go backwards, the more simplified the formulas become. This is where we got our laws of physics and such. But what is at the heart of these formula? If you look at it like a math problem... it would be "i", the imaginary number, NULL. Therefore, the universe is based on the null, the unobtainable, unanswered question. That's my crazy ass opinion anyways.
If these little guys did in fact come from the Big Band, could it be possible to calculate their trajectories and maybe locate the center of the universe? I imageine these stranglets are just like comets traveling through space with REALLY REALLY big orbits, presumably around the center...?
I got mine from the factory, refurbished for only 139 bucks... I'm sure in 8 years they'll still have refurbished current ones, and at the rate of depreciation that handhelds have, there should be a huge secondary market.

Or mabye a gravastar pooped them out.
