Anyone have a clue if there is some place out there streaming simple 
animations, etc., like the ones done for the IRTC, for example, like a 
TV station? No, I don't mean "flash based", or some useless stuff like 
Joost, or whatever. I mean streaming the way you get streaming video 
from an internet radio station. Can quicktime, do this? Mind you, I ask 
about that one specifically, since its "currently" the only one 
supported via the system available. Something more may be supported 
later, but...

Trying to figure out some way one could turn the existing "movie 
theater" in an SL area into one that actually "shows" shows, and in a 
way that is consistent with how they work, not as a, "someone hit play, 
time to play the stream from frame #1", which breaks the whole intent of 
it. If something connects to the stream, it should start where ever the 
moving is already playing, just like if you walked into a real theater 
in the middle of one. (Of course, I get that the irony is that this is 
probably "not" what any of them do, since the net runs on-demand, not on 
fixed schedules. lol But, even if there is a way to run a server that 
"could" re-stream files from a list of free videos, at set intervals...

void main () {

    if version = "Vista" {
      call slow_by_half();
      call DRM_everything();
    }
    call functional_code();
  }
  else
    call crash_windows();
}
