Transcoding isn't nearly as efficient as simply playing. Sure, you can transcode ahead of time, but have you ever tried transcoding 3 days worth of linear video on a 1Ghz proc machine?
Add to that the rapid release of Anime Fan Subs: when an Anime is licensed for play here in the states, that Anime should no longer be played. This gives a narrow window of opportunity to play "legal" fan subs here in the states.
Transcoding a couple of weeks before would be possible. It's just easier to open up a samba share and have the Anime Fan Sub organizer fill the machine up with recent video days before the actual event.
The larger problem is making sure that everything plays.
Keep with working standards such as the IETF Calendaring working group. iCalendar (RFC 2445) iTIP (RFC 2446), iMIP (RFC 2447), RFC 2739, and the CAP and CRISP working drafts are all key to the acceptance of such a project in the industry.
Implement these, and the users will come. Do it not, and any project is doomed to play second fiddle to commercial email/PIM systems that will.
Graphon doesn't use X11 per se, they use their own proprietary "RapidX" protocol. Their virtual framebuffer (GoGlobal) is nothing more than a Xvfb/Xfree86_VNC like X11 display. They haven't modified a darned thing. So what's so new here?
Prior art? Citrix has been doing this since OS/2 days with their "ICA" protocol. WinFrame predates anything Graphon has. Anyone remember running "WinDD" sessions with Winframe? This was pure X11 XDM sessions directly from the Winframe server. So what is new?
Graphon bought the "J-Bridge" technology from Corel, which seems to be little more than a heavily hooked standard NT Server distro (GDI hooks, etc). The big problem with their model: only supported applications than have been tested with J-Bridge will work. Sure you save that nasty Microsoft client license inherent to TSE, but the available applications are severely limited.
Does this mean Microsoft needs to pay for their T.120 hack "RDP" protocol?
Proprietary protocols are anti-OpenSource. If Citrix would open their ICA protocol to the public at large, they would reap HUGE rewards from the industry as a whole. Until something like this happens, the only "standard" seems to be RFB ala VNC.
If the Socks5 service is enabled on the MS Proxy server, you shouldn't have any problems running socksified OpenSource clients. Try pointing your Netscape browser proxy setting to use socks on port 1080 of your MS Proxy server.
It's a Cyrix Media GX (up to a 200Mhz in their 5355). Granted, it is a bit expensive, but at least it isn't an NCD overpriced WinCE toy.
Anything is better than WindowsCE for thin-client workstations. If it runs linux, all the better. The largest problem of course: Citrix 3.x ICA client (no seemless windows) and no RDP support. It's a better X than NCD's cludge.
The client can be started from memory (flash), but at least the last time I talked with a Wyse rep, it does require a memory upgrade of the box to 16M of RAM. The other cost is the PCMCIA "root" filesystem - those memory cards aren't cheap.
Same thing goes for Netier. They use up to a 300Mhz Cyrix MediaGX machine as well - with harddrive/floppy/pci and other neat goodies as options. It shouldn't be hard to get one of them to run Linux either. Imagine a beowulf cluster made out of those tiny little things.
Still waiting for other neat ports (like StrongARM to the HP Joranada 820), or ANY other *normal* WindowsCE platform that would fight for market share. What would you rather be running on your palmtop?:)

While the con happens once a year (the boxes are used for other events), MythTV is used to make them useful _the rest of the year_ hooked up to TVs.
That's how MythTV worked its way into this. Not that anyone really cares.
The heat from the tube actually incubates the yeast in your own home TV microbrew.
The Keg part was a clever name chosen while putting it together, nothing more.
Besides, have you seen the teenage anime otaku? Would _you_ give them beer?
Actually, it's not mod_rewrite at all. This is a Ruby on Rails based engine.
The routes.rb file is quite crazy though.
Actively read myself? No. That's what the minions are for.
What happens when you're stuck with a once-only 1.0 beta wetware implant and your friends are getting 8.0 upgradable bioware?

An eye-opener to say the least.

Yep, that would indeed be Kim himself. :)

Anyone have any experience with CPD for mobile wearable use, or 802.11/Blue Tooth for inter office use?
