Is it just me, or is Mono as bad a name as HIV?

I mean, why would you want to name your software after a sexually transferable hard-to-cure disease? I know that's not the single meaning of mono, but it's the second thing that comes up in my head (after 1-channel thingys).
Yes it is. Haven't you ever heard a police car or ambulance using this sound? It cuts in when swithing between faster and slower signalling. They have been doing it here (in Sweden) for a couple of years now. I think 'Illustrerad Vetenskap' (or maybe 'Lexicon') wrote about this for as long as five years ago.
The technique described by Tom's Hardware isn't really new or advanced, there are better ways of creating a good DivX movie. They didn't even write anything about the possibility to mix fast- and low-motion codec (using MakeFilm), and they didn't say that the "appropriate tool" for copying.VOB-files to hrddisk was deCSS... I actually think that article was really lame for coming from Tom's Hardware. That page used to be my God, now it's my daily laughter. Sad. Anyway, if any of you guys want to get to know some real techniques of copying DVD's to CD, check out http://www.divxnews.com and http://www.vcdhelp.com
