Surely very few companies are actually set up to enable any large % of their workforce to work from home? You're far more likely to be told to go home and wait.
You can set up a page, directory or subdomain of your personal site to forward onto an OpenID server that you've got an account with. If you want to switch server, just change the forwarding details and the sites using your OpenID don't notice a thing.
It's actually only supported for 3 years for the desktop version - it's the server version which is supported for 5 years. Still, it's a decent length of time, and it's sure to appeal to businesses.

Because Bluetooth is painfully slow. The spec says 1Mbit, but in reality it's probably an order of magnitude slower that.
Bandwidth is a major issue in most developing world sites. VSAT is common, split amongst many users, and so the less bandwidth each consumes, the better.
This has potential to be very useful. Perhaps used automatically at the gateway machine, or optional as the homepage of the desktop/laptops in a telecentre.
Is there actually a way of watching this under Linux? mplayer refuses to stream either of the Quicktime/WMP URLs, and I can't download the files with wget because of they use rtsp/mms respectively.
There is so much conjecture and guess work in this, that I don't know where to start. The BBC has only just had its charter renewed for the next 10 years, so imagining what will happen after that is total guess work.
Agreed, it's hardly scientific, but that's why we need some definite research and agreement of the effects. With so much anecdotal evidence, there's got to be something to it, somewhere.
Don't get me wrong, I use my phone just as much as the next person, but there's so much uncertainty at the moment about the effects of RF, isn't it worth being slightly cautious about filling our airwaves with high powered RF?
Lots of people I work with (and lots of these people have worked in the transmissions and broadcast industries) report headaches after using the phone for long periods of time.
I think we've got a bit of work to do to ensure we're not all going to have major problems in 30 years time.
Tortoise SVN for Windows is great for mini projects with a single programmer, because it lets your run a subversion tree locally from your HDD without the need for a proper server install.
I'm sure there's an equivalent for *nix.
Surely Gabe means that they're tracking people using the warez version, and the experiment is to do with that tracking? I think he's just badly phrased the reply.
Currently the BBC are trialing iMP (interactive media player), which allows users to download TV content from the last 8 days. It uses a peer to peer basis for downloading (like Bittorrent), and is currently using Windows Media 9 with its DRM to restrict the content. As I gather, it is a standalone application.
Cross platform compatibility is a fairly hot subject at the Beeb at the moment, and one of the developers hinted that WM9 is just a stand in for any other codec. Presumably when Dirac matures, we'll see Dirac being used.
It's currently in trials with up to 1000 users.
This is probably the best public article about it.

Why on earth would blind people come and visit your site if you don't support their needs?

What settings do you use when creating PAR2 files? I'm using QuickPar under Win32.
I agree, he was on BBC News last night or the night before, saying how much he wanted to help!
There are moves towards AVC and H264 for standards based streaming within the Beeb. Hopefully we'll see a trial soon.

Of course it's a feature... why bother backing up to tape or HDD when you can let the internet do your backups for you?

I've been trying to find out information about what kind of RAM/CPU usage a Bittorrent tracker can expect. Based on say... 10 seeds, 100 peers.
Anyone know?
