[clug-talk] can not get video to play

[Shawn]

A related link from Linux Journal crossed my desk today:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/stupid-television-executives

I decided that if it is happening in the States AND at CBC, that writing 
about it NOW might be enough to get some attention pointed at this 
issue.  So I wrote up a blog entry stating my opinion (I'm in a 
crotchety mood lately, unfortunately the post reflects this... :) )
http://grover.open2space.com/node/282

I strongly encourage YOU to write a blog posting yourself with your 
opinion on the issue.  I think CLUG should collect all these posting 
URLs and submit to CBC and the government as well....  (seeing as CBC is 
taxpayer funded)

My thoughts
