Re: [backstage] new prototype, geoRss feeds for travel data
Sorry guys, Its one of our tasks we meant to sit down and do this week sometime. Sorry to everyone who has sent us prototypes and ideas recently. We as you can imagine get a lot of spam through those forms which makes looking through the responses a more time consuming that it really should be.

That are totally reliant on the willingness of each individual higher education institution to implement multicast on their own internal networks to enable the functionality of the wider ja.net network as a whole. I think the whole situation boils down to the simple fact that it's just not cost-effective enough for most service providers to actually implement multicast, so they don't bother. Value addeed? Which is really annoying, because it's really holding back the takeup of IPTV imho. That, and the unfortunate situation most ISPs have whereby they're burdened with BT's prohibitive pricing structure, to boot. I still do not understand why multicast is not a huge hit.

It's not broadcast. It's original usecase, especially if you look at the original usecases in the early RFCs was really for conference call style applications. It means *multi*-casters (and subscribers) to the same group. As a result *anyone* may send to a given multicast group, and everyone subscribed *MUST* receive. Furthermore you do not need to be a member of that group to send to the group. How many people can send to a group? How much state do you normally require a router to maintain for 10,000 web connections or streaming connection? Zero. How much state would you need for 10,000 multicast groups? 1,000,000 groups? How much bandwidth does a subscriber you need if you have 100 people sending 64Kbit/s (moderately OK audio) to a single multicast group?

[backstage] [Fwd: Fwd: Twitter Fever]

Going Hollywood My friend Greg directs tv shows and films and he's got a new series premiering on FOX this Sunday night called Drive.

But it actually looks like Nathan Fillion is doing it off his own back? Anyway, I wanted to gage people views, if this was good or bad use of twitter?

Nathan Fillion and the entire ex Firefly cast are really genuine and engaged people. I don't know if I will be watching the first season of Drive though - twitter or not. Tim Minear (the creator) has created 3 shows for FOX in a row. Each one canceled in season 1 (Firefly - with Joss, Wonderfalls and The Inside). If it survives season 1 then I will go... purchase it from iTunes :) Chris On 4/12/07, Mr I Forrester [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This came from a friend of mine today... --- Nearly didn't bother reading the usual Twitter guff...

Re: [backstage] OS choice, assume= ass u me
Obviously I would need to stick up for the Atari. Booted in 4 seconds flat, Midi built in as standard, GEM desktop and memory up to 4 meg.

Plus I just plain loved the interface - and no problems even if your games had viruses in, because (on my model at least, the A3000) it had no hard drive so when you power it off: bingo, no more volatile memory :D Had a MIDI card in mine and everything, my old secondary school still uses an old A500 for their internal teletext system (they have screens up around the main entrance etc which shows various bits and bobs of info), and they used to have another Acorn working as a ceefax receiver in their IT room (this was a good decade ago) but they had them all through the school as well, networked and all.
