I tried building a mini-itx based PVR solution, using both freevo and mythtv, last summer. I found that the mini-itx board that I purchased just didn't have the speed to support the application. Granted the processor was a Via C3 running at 800MHz, but I thought that should be pretty good, since alot of people talked about running these things on Celeron 700s, etc. But alas, no... the mini-itx has now been relegated to serving as an MP3 server/storage box.
spamarchive.org is nice, however if you take a look at their stuff you will notice that all of the headers are messed up (because folks forward the spams to spamarchive). I was looking for a large collection of SPAM to train spamassassin with and found spamarchive.org to be unacceptable because the email headers were tampered with.
Perhaps it is time to completely overhaul the voting system in our country. I may not be a constitutional scholar or have a PhD in history, but wasn't the electoral system originally put into place because the founding fathers throught that the general public was too uneducated (stupid) to elect their own president?
Well, in today's world we have the wonders of mass media and we have a highly educated population! Why do we still have a system where it is possible for the candidate with the most votes to lose the election?!

Yea, that's a great solution until you have to work on a project with one of your profs. You want to share that file with him/her? You've gotta mail it to them?! That'll go over great with the prof when he gets 200 excel sheets in his inbox because of that statistical anomaly that showed up in the experiments. For heaven's sake, at least allow access to ftp servers from both. Then all the student has to do when he has sat down with the prof is log into ftp.university.edu and download his data.

You were correct, your post is cynical... very cynical. In fact, you don't really know what you're talking about. I'm currently a college student at a engineering school in Northern New York and I'd have to tell you that 95% of my classes had stuff that was posted online. Lots of notes, sample exams, TA's office hours, etc. Network connections in the dorm rooms are definitely a necessity. If my school tried to take them away (or didn't offer them), I'd definitely find a new school.

I did just what you suggest... and I found the the largest of the three mov streams crashed mplayer, but the medium sized one didn't. Hmmm...
