I'd agree with the hosted part. If you really want to roll your own, I'd personally go nginx and php5-fpm with mysql backend rather than apache. Its much more likely to perform well with a 2500 user phpbb than apache.
My prediction is that they release a phone that runs on android, but has BES services installed on top. Who knows, they may even simply dwindle down to a "software company" that only provides a 'blackberry services' suite that installs on top of androids and iphones.
The enterprise level of companies will not consider moving away from BES, until something similar and secure is provided by apple or google. It may happen at some point, but until that happens, RIM has a chance to turn things around.
Lets be a little bit more respectful. Most of the soldiers in iraq and afghanistan can probably thank him for their lives due to his invention of the Hesco bastion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesco_bastion
This happens for sure, however I am willing to bet they were blacklisting you for some other reason, and decided to trust you again once they detected the spf records published for your domain. I see this situation all the time with yahoo and gmail.
I had my account compromised, however I was not banned for cheating. I just could no longer log in. I simply sent in a support ticket, verified my information, and the account was restored.
I personally love steam. I find the value to be far larger, simply due to the fact that I don't need to keep track of my cds, and keys for said cds. I delete the local content I don't wish to play, and when i get the urge to play one of my older games, I simply redownload and off I go. I actually play my old games now, whereas I have yet to reinstall my old games I've purchased still on CD...
To me, steam is one of the best things to happen to pc gaming. I generally have not bought a game that was not released on steam.
tvrss [tvrss.net] + pytvshows [sourceforge.net] + rtorrent [rakshasa.no] = Tivo for me.
I work second so it's not like I notice anyway, everything is done by time I get home. All over the waves stuff anyway. I just count it as someone else does the recording and encoding for me.
I already do the same thing combining utorrent/rss/and my original buffalo linktheater for a few years now.
However, its not "legal" and I've honestly had my cable turned off for downloading an ep of House. I'm looking for a one stop shop of on demand that works well, is not a pita, and is legal. I'm willing to pay for it too, as long as its reasonable. There is also not a lot of "outside of the mainstream" content out there yet either. I enjoy watching the diy network, and some of the lesser cable networks and shows.
Never heard of Roku, but in my experience, nothing can yet beat XBMC [xbmc.org] on either my old Xbox, or a low-spec HTPC.
Posting anonymously because the Myth mods will get me otherwise:-)
I've looked at putting xbmc onto a small little pc. Does it have good remote control support?
You are absolutely correct. However I did mention cost points. 99$ for a roku, or 200 for a popcornhour vs significantly more for a PC version that isn't large, ugly and noisy.
Yep, I agree that I love my roku. I have played it on both my 42in plasma (through component), and my 32in lcd through hdmi. The picture on both was perfect. No, it wasn't a blue ray, but who cares. Blue ray is pretty over rated short of block buster action flicks in my opinion.
The 4 quality setting is great in my experience. I've even had friends make that comment, subsequently had them over, and had them walk away wondering what people were complaining about.
Using it as a jukebox, not considering it as a dvr, then yeah, the roku could certainly be far better. At that point, you'd be better off buying a popcornhour or other such media set top than wasting your time on a mythtv, having it sit by your TV making noise etc. Toss a few Hard drives into your existing computers, open them up on various network share types, and let a set top box like the roku (once opened) or a popcornhour, or any of the many devices to the heavy lifting.
So yeah, not considering the dvr functionality, its likely to be superior to a mythtv setup in both functionality and upfront costs.
I doubt they are opening up the netflix drm code. I am reasonably sure they are opening everything up to the degree that we will be able to add other sources of content besides netflix.

I dream of the day that I don't need to pay for cable, and can go strictly on demand for a reasonable price point.

They are cheap, allow you full control over your RDNS, and will solve your problems.
HIRE THIS GIRL! I wonder if she is the one who submitted this to /. ?

punchscan.org is your friend.
bittorrent is your friend.
That has to be the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
