Anything related to Big Bang Theory

Yes, I know about the Big Bang Theory episode in question. No, I did not get this idea from the episode, as this site and all of its features predate the show by many years. Yes, I realize the strong resemblance to features on this site. The starting segment managed to reference X10, internet and public control of the various features, music control, and RC Cars. I suspect that my site MIGHT have inspired that segment, but I have no proof of that. Also, they weren't actually using X10 modules, and the control of the RC Cars was much smoother than would be likely over any type of internet connection. The BEST latency that my research has shown would likely be possible with a decent video feed would be 250ms, from action to visible response. That assumes a very high speed connection at both ends, using UDP and no buffering. A mouse or joystick based interface would be required as well. Possible, certainly, but not likely. On the other hand, they're supposed to be geniouses with lots of free time on their hands, so who knows.
