Not the 'net version of DIVX...the ORIGINAL DIVX..so that I can only see my memories if I pay a "rental" fee and they will timeout after 48 hours and I can pay a fee to get some more time...but I cant lend them to my friends or play them on anyone elses player...but then, they would probably just disable the pay to play feature after a year anyways making it plain DVD...;)
"Peiser said the study was valuable in another way because it helped show the U.S. military can detect the difference between a nuclear explosion and a meteor that sets off a flash similar to it -- a capability he said could help governments avoid mistaking a meteor blast for a nuclear weapon.
It would probably be good to have this capability to keep some guy with a key in a silo from pushing the panic button and obliterating us all....
SHHH...the thought police will hear you... it just gets worse and worse ever day...
Also, look who is working on it...someone really really trustworthy with all of my information:
Rear Adm. John Poindexter, former national security adviser to President Reagan, is developing the database under the Total Information Awareness Program. Poindexter was convicted on five counts of misleading Congress and making false statements during the Iran-Contra investigation.

I am quite disgusted at the apparent lack of education of the general populace of the U.S.
How can ANYONE possibly turn around say the gov't. should have the ability to question religion, and that journalists shouldn't be allowed to question the Gov't.
You would have to be terribly uneducated to say ANY of these things.
I am shocked to see that the United States is quickly turning into any of the dystopian books I have read (Brave New World, 1984, etc) Maybe if the rest of the country picked up a book once in a while, they would see these things coming....
Also, when did it become a crime to believe in something. So people believe in the same religion as some of the terrorists. That doesnt mean a thing. I remember when I was in high school, you could say to someone "leave me alone or I will kill you", now, if you say that...its off to jail for conspiring to commit a terrorist act....disgusting...

Even the "expert opinions" they have in the article sound downright silly:
"It could be billions of years old and come from the earliest formation of the solar system," he told the Daily Mail newspaper.
That sounds like something an 8 yr. old says when he finds something that looks like a piece of bone when he's trying to "dig to China" with a spoon.
It was probably expelled from a factory smokestack or something...hence the iron, and heat...ridiculous what some people will do for recognition...
