Video-On-Demand is one of the best things I have ever seen come from the cable company. I never had digital cable or seen it (figured all it was was a little better quality and a way to encrypt the pay channels), until I went to my buddys place and helped him set up his home theatre. Video on demand kicks ass. Being able to watch Monk episodes a day after they are shown, having access to the HBO series on demand, all the free movies that are available, it's very nice. I hate movie theatres, so I have missed out on a lot of releases and in the past couple months hanging out with my friends I've caught up on so many movies by just hitting the VOD button and pressing play.
The only time it sucks is when their server goes down or when the movie isnt coded right and it starts playing the wrong movie.
and I just used my last moderation point. isnt this a duh kinda article. Im not starting up my own business but in all my school projects I choose OSS first.
heh, reminds me of a dilbert comic, where the PHB was said to motivate employees be rewardnig them by getting rid of something bad in thier corporate culture. The phb said alice didnthave to go to the team meeting this week. Just made me laugh. haha.
CPanel's autoupdate should usually be turned off. cpanel takes over most of the server, and allowing it to update everything by itself has caused problems before.
personally, i like having a control panel that doesnt take over the server, and instead, sits ontop of the distro.
webhostingtalk.com is a great resource for newbies and veterans alike with the webhosting world. Im not a webhost, but i do web development, and ive found thier community to be one of the best out thier.

I immediatly thought of F-Zero when I heard of this. Stuff like this has always interested me. :)
they did wipe his memory at the end. maybe they jsut didnt install the drivers for his jet packs and robotic arm that catches thing.
