- NBA to Create Online Archive of Historic Footage ★
-
Daniel Terdiman, reporting for CNet:
The league, working with Silicon Graphics, is setting out to create a digital archive of the entire filmed history of its games, from legendary contests between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers to seemingly meaningless late-season games between out-of-contention teams. The archive will be available at NBA.com.
I didn’t know Silicon Graphics was still in business.

ZFS trades CPU cycles for piece of mind. Every block is checksummed after it arrives from the disk (or network or whatever).
- Damian Kulash on File Sharing ★

Damian Kulash, lead singer of OK Go, in an op-ed in The New York Times:
To be clear, I certainly don’t encourage people to pirate our music. I have poured my life into my band, and after two major label records, our accountants can tell you that we’re not real rock stars yet. But before a million people can buy our record, a million people have to hear our music and like it enough to go looking for it. That won’t happen without a lot of people playing us for their friends, which, in turn, won’t happen without a fair amount of file sharing.
