Thanks a lot for your reply. What you are saying is that the airport express will pickup wireless signal from my university’s wireless network and then relay that to my hard wired mac mini?

I initially thought that the ethernet port on the express was an input only.

If that solution is to work, that would be great cause I really wanted to buy an airport express anyway to be able to take it with me to the lab to connect my macbook to my iphone and transfer some files cause the security on my university’s wireless network prevents this connection from happening.

That would be awesome and I will look further into it. Thank a million alex again.

the wizard.

I’m keeping it now, because when my roommate moved in, it was here, so it would be unfair to take it away without dropping the rent… When he leaves, so does cable!

The problem is, if/when people do this en-masse, there won’t be any cable because no one will be buying cable. Without cable, all those shows you watch online won’t be there.

My solution is for the telcos to charge more. I know, I know… “Unlimited is unlimited” blah blah blah. Unlimited internet 2 years ago was a few web pages and a flash movie here and there. Now people are moving dozens of gigabytes a week around a network that is 40 years old, really. I’d be willing to pay for “unlimited internet, plus $10/month for streaming video services” if it was offered. The $10 fee could be used to upgrade infrastructure, buy content, and work on how to actually make revenue out of streaming video.

PS, I think Hulu has the best model. Pre-roll, and one or two ads in the middle that can’t be skipped. 30 seconds of my time is worth free, on-demand tv, I think.

Figures though, any possibility to degrade the most bi-partisan news channel there. That was quite unneccessary.
