Store your digital media on a server in any way you wish. Set up Plex Media Server, associate it with a MyPlex account, and point it at your media. Share your server with your family member's own MyPlex account, and they'll be able to stream everything from wherever (including using a snazzy new Web Client.) Make sure you set up some offsite backup solution, like Carbonite.
Yes, Boxee can play illegally downloaded content, but this is not what it's being "geared" towards. If it were purely for downloaded content then you could use XBMC, Windows Media Center, MythTV, or any of the many media center software packages out there. Boxee is special in the fact that it has a much wider array of streamed content support (not just Hulu.) If you check out there website it says right on the front pageabout how it supports streaming video sites such as "Hulu, Netflix, ABC, CBS, Comedy Central, Last.fm, and flickr." This is in ADDITION to your downloaded content.
Now, I personally prefer my downloaded content as it's the exact quality I want and I don't have to tax my network while playing. Plus, I like having more control over my interface, so XBMC is my favorite, but Boxee is REALLY easy to use, and just simply plays a lot of content. At least try it before writing it off.
I had no idea this was happening until last week I went on ESPN360.com to see if they had any of the Australian Open matches streaming. To my surprise when the website loaded I got a message stating "Congratulations! Your ISP, Cavalier LLC, is part of the ESPN network" or something to that effect. At first I was excited. Free streaming matches! Then I realized "what about everyone else?" This is blatantly a violation of Net Neutrality.
I classify death reactions in three categories:
1.) Pissed off because I'm too involved in the game to take it light-heartedly
2.) Humorous because I am not taking it seriously and get killed in a humorous way (ie 13 sticky grenades in Halo)
3.) Relief from the above mentioned reason of "relief from engagement" ("Finally, I'm dead. That was intense.")
I have had the same experience with MySpace. I canceled my account with that horrible site, only to find out several months later that my profile is still online. Can I log in to edit it or try removing it again? No. MySpace's tech support is useless as well. Purely automated responses with no solutions. I have received the same answer every time:
"Log in and access advanced preferences to delete my account."
Apparently all canceling your account does is disable your access to your data, giving MySpace complete control over it.
What would be the point of MS buying it? Best case they get a copy of the code...and the seller continues to distribute. It's not as if the product runs out.
Could just spend $0 and download Frets on Fire the free PC version. I play guitar and know full-well that it's nothing like playing for real (especially when you're instrument is a $10 white keyboard:-D ) but I still think it's fun, especially with other people. I think a big thrill is being able to FEEL like you are pulling of a sweet riff to a beat when you aren't a guitarist to know the difference.
Although I don't know if this was the intention, something about this article gets my Net Neutrality Sense tingling. Couldn't any particular organization take advantage of this with enough money, or couldn't domains just start paying to obtain priority?

Yes, we're opening your mail, but we're not LOOKING at it. We're just making sure you aren't wasting paper and ink.

Judging by the ribbon on the VGA port and the height of the board, I'd say this IS a half-height card. You just need to swap out the IO panel.

My response would promptly be "Fine. I'll SELL you this Ubuntu disk...for a dollar."
I wouldn't mind s text-powered cell phone. At the rate I text there must be excess energy for all of those keypresses that could be harvested.
And how much more does it cost to have it shipped without any Windows OS at all?
"Reality" is merely applied robot technology.

I would if I could access it. It's there, but its not "mine".

Small group showed up at the "church" in Richmond, VA.
Any word on how this affects Quicktime Alternative or QTLite as they are based on the Quicktime code?

Most prefer not to sit on illegal software for it to "mature" if you will. Much rather generate some income and move on to the next project.

I can feel the tubes filling up with too many internets now...

So Apple is rewarding people who share music illegally...with more free music?
