I think your system is a good start to what I would envision for the future. While I don't know that $3 an episode is correct, it makes sense that you would have to charge on some kind of basis in order to substitute for historical earnings of commercials.
Which makes me think, why do you have to pay for cable tv? If it is simply to pay for the physical cable comming to your house, then eventually the equity and value of that cable would reach zero, or near zero. Don't networks already make money off commercials?
Maybe I'm just not seeing the whole picture, but a change of distribution doesn't seem to be the network's problem, just the cable companies... they're the ones I'm not paying to come into my house.
My uncle was a triangle, the only greek frat at University of Cincinnati without a greek name. They were an all engineering fraternity,[snip]
IIRC there are three fraternities that don't have greek letters as names, Acacia, Farmhouse (Ag related house)and Triangle (Engineers, Architects, and Scientists)
Personally I am a member of Triangle Fraternity on the Nebraska campus. As with any orginization, you only get out of it what you put into it, but if you were looking for a greek community (Unlike ASM or IEEE) for an IT related field, I would highly recommend taking a look at the local Triangle House. To see if they are on a campus near you, feel free to check out http://www.triangle.org for more information.
I enjoyed the time in my house, and have many close friends from the time I spent there. I still try to keep involved with my chapter, but as with most things, there is a time to move on.
Also, don't let the steriotypes of fraternities scare you away from all of them. Not all 'frats' get drunk and slip X into unsuspecting chicks drinks. However YMMV... LOL
It's been years since I've played this game, but IIRC, you could replay a whole race. That alone was really awesome, but you could also design your own courses and save them on the cartridge. Granted, it took about 10 min. to do so, but I'd never seen a game that you could save stuff on before that one.
I've been looking for a while for a program that will authenticate to a traffic cammera server that broadcasts over the internet, and capture the streaming video into a video file (*.avi, *.mpg, *.ogm... something) I haven't found one that does the job. Several programs will capture streaming web content, but none seem to be able to send a username & password to enable such a capture. It seems like this type of program might be good for a home security system that you want to capture 24 hours of video at a time, and then overwrite that in a continual loop.
I have used some of this proprietary software for parking garages, and traffic signals (www.axis.com) but that software doesn't do as good of a job as I would like. For example, if you are looking at the raw capture data, the picture is smooth, and the frames are crisp. Then you use there "export" function and no matter the speed of the computer (2.6Ghz 512Mb) the frames are not evenly timed and become clumpy and individual frames are blurred.
Bassically what I want is a program like VirtualDub for streaming content. Has anyone seen any programs that might do authenticated streaming video capture?
I got fed up with the Capslock about a year ago, plus I had basically worn out the keyboard, so I looked around for a new keyboard that I thought I would like and I stumbled accross this.
I'd say its the best keyboard I've ever owned. Very comfortable and it has the control key on the home row. Plus, it's got the escape key in the typical ~ location. Very handy.
This might be another one of those Airplanes / Computers discussions. Had Computer ideas been patented the way they were, they would have developed faster, as with the Wright Bros. and other people using their basic idea as a jumpstart to technology.
So maybe it's more like this:
The Burning of Alexandria is to the Development of Technology, as licensing is to computing technology.
*whew* I'd hate to live at a time when machines controled my every move, from who and how I interact with people, to the work that I do, to the only thing I see all day.

Maybe it's just me, but apparently it wasn't big enough news for the high and mighty news channels here in the US hu?

Looks to me like the site is down, anyone have a mirror, or at least the LiveCD around? Maybe throw up a BitTorrent for the ./ community?

Anyone know what the theoretical speed limit of copper cable is? 10Gbs seems faster than copper can go to me.
