The Gun Counter

I'm currently using Netflix and Hulu. Netflix is great, but Hulu gets mixed reviews from me. Even though it's free, the selection is limited and connection is sometimes spotty and delayed. Any others out there which are good?

Bittorrent can also be very dangerous. I'm actually surprised you would recommend it.

Meh, anyway Netflix is much better than it used to be, both in available content and their player. If Moonlight, (Linux version of Silverlight) ever gets completed you'll be able to watch netflix on your Penguin box.

I've also used Hulu and don't find it that great.

ABC has most of their TV shows on their website. My kids love Wipeout.

Uhhh no. Wrong entirely.

BitTorrent is in no way dangerous... except to your hard disk space.

LOL!! I would agree - that stuff is VERY HAZARDOUS to your hard drive space!!! LOL!!

It's pretty bad that the guys who are doing this shit for free are better than the people being paid to do it.

I'm glad you said *many* as clearly (or clearly to neanderthals like me) certain academic faculties (womyn's studies and African American studies, for example, cough) serve no purpose and the value of certain individual stipends (e.g. certain climatologists) seems counter to the advancement of scientific inquiry.
