Often it is handy to capture a network media stream for listening/watching later.
Mplayer has -dumpaudio / -dumpvideo / -dumpstream and -dumpfile <filename> options
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile thu2300.ra rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/comedy/thu2300.ra
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile h2g3_episode1.rm rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/h2g3_episode1.rm

Each episode is available for replay or download for 7 days following the Thursday evening repeat.
"Branding" is appropriate using Web sites. Faculties, departments, centres, projects, even individuals can all have their own Web site to promote their own brands.
E-mail addresses, like telephone numbers and postal addresses, are not suitable for branding. Do you have separate telephones on you desk for your different roles as Monash-staff-member, Buseco-staff-member, GSB-staff-member, Department-staff-member, Subject-lecturer, project-staff-member ? Do you run different e-mail programs to access e-mail for these different work roles? These different roles can/do all have their own web site, their own brand, but each individual doesn't require multiple telephones or e-mail accounts.
E-mail Groups, e.g First.Last@Group.monash.edu.au are used for- Faculties
- Divisions (of University Administration)
The Graduate School of Business appears to be contained within the Faculty of Business and Economics, and so it is appropriate that they use the First.Last@buseco.monash.edu.au e-mail addresses.
