wouldn't only apply to cut lines, not generator failure (i.e. the northeast outage)? of course, the servers would most likely go down in that case too...
that's all good, but does it automatically refresh? that takes up bandwidth and looks choppy, and if it doesn't, it's hard to use... web frontends were not designed to do this.
unless, of course, you found a different way to do this with php, in which case, please let me know:)
ok, that was wrong... from the distributor site: "Ruckus solves campus bandwidth issues by storing frequently requested music and movies on campus-based servers located within the campus intranet. The campus servers will regularly receive updated files from the Ruckus Media Library, a network of redundant central servers storing terabytes of music, movies and other content. Students will access content via the Ruckus client application. If a student requests a file not found on the campus server, it will instantly make a request from the Media Library and deliver it to the student."
from the distributor's site: "Ruckus will protect copyrighted content and enforce usage rules with digital rights management (DRM) technology from Microsoft."
from what i've read in the other comments, this service will provide a set of tunes/flicks to a p2p network inside the campus, which will then distribute them.
to quote the linked article: "And she [the judge] says he still cannot leave home except to go to work or other supervised activity approved by the court." i can understand how some people might consider this a punishment, but this guy is obviously a nerd...
to clarify: i think that's a solution, because people would be able to make copies and store it on their computers, but to hear it in high-quality, they need to buy it... sort of the way it is with mp3s and cds
another solution would be analog... you can only store it on a computer (reasonably) if you sample it slow enough, and that degrades quality (may not be noticeable). Also, copying analog media degrades quality... but the originals are superb
what where they thinking?
they were thinking "we don't get enough money to break even from advertising alone, and this offer to perform various psychological tests on our participants is quite lucrative and appealing" that explains many things about/.

to start, i'm odd... that said, here are the search results for the quote you posted :)
I consider myself pretty jaded to the internet, but even I was shocked...Should be interesting...
it will most likely be sick, based on what you said
at first i thought you were doing a peta/pita wordplay, but it was still good :)
sounded like it, thanks :)
i guess Solomon was a nerd too

could you please finish it? i'm interested
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck is the day they make a vacuum cleaner... :)
very clever, kudos :)

and they did.
the first part of the message was rot-14, and the second part was rot-22... Bill used a perl script to run throught all that rot.

Doesn't sound like "sales" to me.
are you criticizing the respectable business of selling protection?
i.e. and aol :)
it would be cool if it worked. i tried konqueror 3.2.3, mozilla 1.7, and firefox 0.9.1...
all good things, except that it would most likely be a java applet... slow and requiring a huge jre and browser support for that jre
except this takes up a lot more bandwidth.
