Nah it's a pretty standard UPnP system with well-documented open source programs you can run it on, like ushare (http://ushare.geexbox.org/). Like I said: pretty simple.

I am intrigued by your ideas, TheRaven64, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

As of last year or so the Xbox 360 plays MPEG-4 files just fine. I have mine play them over the network from my server.

Oh yeah. IE is a total whore.

How is that? Microsoft could (irony!) sue for anticompetitive practices. It's not like that stuff gets any less illegal when people other than Microsoft do it.

I've gotta agree with adamdoyle's post. If someone sent me a resumé with the reply address configured that way, I'd probably think it was pretty neat.

How do you handle the replies? This is cool enough I might just try to do it.

Oops forgot this is slashdot. How insensitive of me!

It's the highlight according to TFA.

I don't think many people in the US are willing to admit it, but part of the reason why the Russians beat us into space was that they were willing to accept more risk than us. The US has a space exploration record largely lacking in tragedy, and the Russians definitely have had more incidents, but as a result they were able to move forward slightly faster than us.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that as long as the people you are sending to their potential demise know the risks and know what they're getting into. No matter what the risk though there are people out there who would sign up for this without hesitation. I say there's nothing wrong at all with looking into it.

Don't hold Christianity up like it's so much better than the others, since in the US at least it's the Christians who are pushing through the most discriminatory laws. Them and godforsaken Joe Lieberman.

No one's asking you, personally, to apologize for Turing's treatment. You're not the one who did it, obviously, but the UK's government was, and it's still around as an entity. If they would just acknowledge that it was wrong and acknowledge Turing's contributions to the world before his untimely death, it would not only make a lot of people feel better but, more importantly, it would acknowledge that such a thing won't happen again. That last bit is the most important part and I think that a refusal to apologize can seem like an inability to admit wrongdoing.

Think of it like the US Government apologizing for slavery. There were no reparations attached to it, so all it took to make it happen was an acknowledgment that slavery was wrong and that until the mid-19th century the US Government was complicit in its continuation. Even though the people making the apology were not slaveowners and the people accepting it were never themselves slaves, it's still important to recognize that it did happen, in this country, and that it won't happen again. As my family wasn't even in this country during that time, and we were enduring our own oppression in Europe, I don't find it necessary myself to apologize but I do think that the government who was complicit needs to. Same deal for the UK.

"Tend to" doesn't mean "necessarily do" though, and even though it's a large organization, it's *our* large organization, and it can run however we make it run.
