New Linux Commerical from IBM

Have any of you seen the new Linux commerical from IBM? Man, it is SO awesome! I just about cried when I saw it. Well, since IBM apparently can't get their javascript together, I'm posting a plethora of links here for you all's benefit. :)

From their website:<blockquote><i>If Linux were a person, he would be growing, fast. Taught by the best. Gaining wisdom beyond his years. And sharing. He would be in business, education, government and homes. He would be a nine-year-old boy changing the world.</i></blockquote>

Yeah, it was Mohammed Ali. Penny Marshall was in it, too.

Funnily enough, socialism actually works when it comes to computer programming. I guess it's because there's no scarcity?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp,

I can't view the files:

2 questions for gurus:

1. Is there a way to save the video file to my computer from a (gawdforsaken) asx file? The asx file itself refers to a file on a mutimedia server so entering the url contained in the asx file does not help. (I tried!)

2. Multimedia is blocked at my workplace and I suspect that our network folks are blocking access to the port over which streaming media is sent. What, if any, is the workaround for this?!?! I used to listen to the ministryOfSound all day but since they blocked all media access, all I can hear is the air coming out of the vents! The padded room can't be far now
