Got this idea last night, coded it up in a few hours.
Code quality is terrible, was going for more of a proof of concept. Anyways, the overhead is pretty bad, BUT you can use things like <Insert social network here> now to store files. Although < Aforementioned social network> may mangle the UTF-8, so it may not work.
My 2 cents: I've thought about doing this exact thing before...then I realized it's like giving other people free ideas. Isn't this just the perfect place for others to steal your stuff? What're you gonna do if that happens? I would never post a good idea publicly, just asking for competition you probably can't afford to have.
Sounds interesting. Hopefully they will release more technical information about what makes it "archival" quality. Seems like a normal Blu-ray at first glance.
Hmm, I would think scp would be way more secure if he can shell into both sessions? idk. There's probably a perfect use case out there somewhere. Still a neat trick, heck you could probably do it with any service, not just DNS, cause you're basically just capturing traffic to receive it...
Pandora for videos? Interesting. Seems like it would be difficult to generate relevant recommendations as there is not as much metadata on videos as there is for music (least I don't think there is). Would almost have to rely heavily on a per channel type thing then per video I would think. Anyways, I ramble.
tl;dr: I would try it.
Really neat. But I tried it at 600 WPM, and it can't center it fast enough, it will pop over from the left. Becomes very difficult to use at higher speeds.
