Hey peoples!
I finally went cable, internet wise. I tried to find some video of the bottom of the ocean but could'nt find anything worth a crap. I figured if there was anything good out there you guys would know about it!
Also, are any of the peer to peer music sharing outfits free, any good, or are they rip offs?
Thanks up front and take care!!!!
 
Free peer2peer services are full of viruses, spam, and spyware. Stay away from them.

So programs like limewire, & WinMX have viruse and $hit? Does that happen when i download stuff or just when i sign on to it? If i shouldnt use these programs for free music then how can i get free music?
 
Not online, as the others mentioned.

But if you haven't seen the DVD series Blue Planet: Seas of Life yet, check it out. You should be able to find it at your local library. One episode covers the deep ocean, and all episodes are well worth watching.

Peer-to-peer file-sharing networks can be used, but be aware that many of the programs themselves, such as Kazaa and eDonkey, may come bundled with all manner of dreadful and hard-to-get-rid-of spyware and adware.

There are alternatives. eMule is still available with a bit of searching, and is free of such nasties. One can also locate Kazaa + + with some searching, it's a version cleaned of malware.
Niether of these programs is particularly efficient; download rates tend to be very slow.
Bittorrent is another alternative, and as we have discussed before, there are both legitimate and illegitimate uses for this. Many game files are now being distributed via torrent, as well as a number of "mods" for existing games. Various other files such as user-made videos are generally available on bittorent.

Torrents tend to be much faster, depending on how many peers are currently sharing the file. Download speeds of 45kbs are not uncommon. For whatever reason, torrents tend to be more accurate as well, and one rarely gets errors.
Of course, you can find just about anything on torrents, from music to movies to TV shows to programs.... All illegal.
Still, the various industries seem to be having little luck closing down these things. A recent European raid on the offices of Pirate Bay (prominent torrent search engine) resulted in a one-day shutdown....
 
There has to be an Imax theater in your area, I've read about oceanic documentaries coming to the Imax theater in Baltimore and Washington DC, and Philadelphia. It's a great experience, I saw a documentary about the rainforest in the Philadelphia Museum of Science Imax theater. I'd love to have on in my basement ;).

Nothing is free ; everything comes with a price in one way or another
 
I saw Blue Planet. I agree, it was awesome, but as with all tv ocean documnetaries, they show so little ocean bottom video in the show. They'll be scanning the bottom and then switch up to the people watching the monitors on the ship. Sheeshhhh, that drives me nuts! I want to see nothing but footage of the ocean botton and the deep ocean.
Thanks for the tips guys!!!
 
Well the ocean is pretty deep, say 13000 feet deep. No sunlight travels that deep so you will need
- a special camera withstanding 6000 psi of waterpressure
- special lighting able to withstand that depth
- a mothership floating above connected to the camera
- heavy cables going down to the camera.

And you will probably see not much anyway.

My guess is that it's a better option to watch deep sea movies.
