Greetings OP,
I have one of these rigs:
Actiontec My Wireless TV WiFi / HDMI Multi-Room Wireless HD Video Kit
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obi...
I use it to sling HD video, USB and IR from my downstairs to upstairs, and it works great! There is a small amount of latency but it's not at all unusable. Sounds like it would do exactly what you want! I'm very happy with mine--normally I'm a bit skeezed out by Actiontec products (FiOS wireless router ugh) but this one has been completely solid.
Good luck!
Regards-

In this case, NASA isn't 'out-sourcing' the GPM launch to Japan... GPM and its predecessor the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission–TRMM were both full collaborations between NASA and the Japanese Space Agency JAXA. In both cases, Goddard Space Flight Center (where I work) integrated the spacecraft and its payloads, with JAXA (formerly NASDA) providing payload(s) as well as launch services.
T-Mobile's new 'Even More Plus' plans are no-contract, you can get 500 min + unlimited text/data for $59.99 a month, no contract involved. This would also work on T-Mo or AT&T prepaid.
Am I the only one who saw the article and read "Sailor Moon.... " ? I was thinking wow, I wonder why this is on the front page of/. And then when I re-read the title, I was disappointed:-(
If this is for real, then we might just see more Mac ports of games, and quicker turnaround than before (since most of the work of "porting" will be handled by the library). I'd worry about DirectX games though... They'd probably have to dynamically translate the DirectX calls to OpenGL which could get hairy.
ROMS are completely legal provided that you have a copy of the game you are playing the ROM for. I would bet that this guy probably has a copy of all of the RBI Baseball games for NES. I know I do!
I currently live in Howard County, Maryland, and have been a patron of the library system here for over ten years. Several years ago, they replaced all of the vt100 terminals running a text-based catalog with PCs running Windows and a web catalog. Suffice it to say, the first thing I would do when using one of these 'new and improved' machines was to enter the url telnet://howard.howa.lib.md.us/ into Internet Explorer opening a telnet window to the old catalog interface. My reason being that the text interface responded instantly to my queries, whereas the web interface took at least 5-10 seconds to load each graphics-ridden page. The web client also seemed buggy, sporadically not responding to requests. I've continued to use the text interface up until a few months ago when apparently it was taken down for good. I haven't been to the library since the Linux migration, but hopefully it will address many of the slowness and buggyness problems inherent with the Windows web clients (I know that on older machines, Linux definietly feels a lot faster than Windows 98). I will have to stop by the library on the way home tonight and check it out!

The United States winning any particular technological arms race benefits no one.
ZOMG Feldy!! You are on the /.!!!

Encyclopedia Britannica shoots first! Online searchable media is the future, and the scholastic world still needs to catch up big-time.
Come on you guys... We shouldn't question the iMacculate nature of these rumors, instead we should raise /// cheers!
