If I'm reading your question correctly, you're doing it wrong.

I've found most nics under windows refuse to accept vlan tagging without virtualizing them in some way. But that doesn't require installing any of the hyper-v components. You can do it with standard teaming. And this can be done with a single nic.

Comment Automated CD-R Duplication patent? (Score 5, Interesting) 94

Seems odd skimming the patent to apply this to offline video caching. It seems fairly specific to a method of automating the process of ordering, duplicating and shipping CD media. There is some ambiguous text in there about "digital media". But it also has claims such as:

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said first module is configured to send at least one signal to at least one printing device to create mailing address labels for each of said requests.

Which, I'm sure netflix is not doing. Seems like an attempt to broadly use a patent that's not really related to the actual process being used.

Shocking...

I don't think anyone would argue that it costs nothing to do this. Nor would they argue that it's easy. The argument would simply be whether or not it's cost effective. Can it be done for less than the costs of launching a fully developed habitat from the ground.

That's the job of the company providing the work. If they can make it work, more power to them. If they can't, failed business model. If they can't and it gets funded through tax dollars as a huge boondoggle, then it becomes a problem for the masses.

Prove that it can't be done cost effectively. Not random "Oh sure!! That'll work great!!! No costs at all!"
