    So I'm thinking of starting a pr0n site that hosts amateur mp4s (so I don't have to worry about copyrights). What's a good mp4 conversion program for Linux or Win?

    Another possibility with a Nike/Apple experience is what I ran into this morning in trying to upgrade my Apple Quicktime (free) software on a Windows XP box - it said my email address was invalid (amusing, guess all 20,000 students at the UW don't have emails).

    Which makes me think of someone running along, listening to their iPod, and it starts to download a firmware upgrade and cuts out midstride, setting their running shoes on fire.

    Feet don't fail me now!
