[quote ebilmes]Everything I've seen points to lots of games (including hockey) being broadcast free on SlopeTV.com (and SlopeRadio.com). The video quality might be questionable and there will be amateur student announcers, but that's definitely looking like a possibility for this year.[/quote]So I go to http://slopetv.com/ and, poof, my Firefox browser disappears from the screen.  I try again, without the eLynah tab open.  Same thing.  I try IE.  It wants the ActiveX control Adobe Flash Player.  Friendly cross-platform support? NOT!

[quote Josh '99][quote jtwcornell91]This sounds like a whole lot of FUD.  We know almost nothing about the new service and yet you're convinced the sky is falling on the customer service front.  OTOH, CSTV explicitly designed their webcast last year to work only on a single browser/OS combination, sticking their finger in the eye of Mac and Linux users.  At least we know the new system is supposed to work on a wider array of platforms.[/quote]You know, I think there should be a rule on the Internet:  If you choose to use an OS that everyone *knows* isn't universally supported, you forfeit the right to complain when it's not supported.  :-P[/quote]

We don't need to be "supported"; we're smart enough to support ourselves.  What we want is that content providers not go out of their way to exclude us.

One of the worst fallacies of current web design is that you make your site work specifically for each of a list of environments.  Just do something that delivers the content in a way consistent with open specifications, and let the browser worry about the formatting.

Both actually, although I'm more certain about the first.

[quote Al DeFlorio]Here's the scoop on RedCasts: http://cornellbigred.com/News/general/2007/9/10/0708Redcast.asp?path=general

Looks like football is not in the package but is free through an alternate source.::whistle::[/quote]

The new website is ok, but I find it annoying the way the ugly sports logo rumbles when you put the mouse over it!
