    only problem is this:

    when you disable activeX for untrusted zones, spyware adds itself to the trusted zones.

    If user can add sites to trusted zones, then spyware can too.

    Best Solution? Shut off ActiveX completely. avoid,boycott,complain (to) any sites that are thusly broken.

    when active x gets to passport levels of user disdain it will be removable (one would hope)

    if it can be put backtogether in non real-time, the time code track is used to align.

    If in real time it does what satellite (dbs )does.

    It would appear that the timecode carrier rides on the audio track. If an unsync condition occurs the video track is sped up (from buffer) to match next sync point.

    In my setup, audio never stutters, but video can.

    ahhh my favourite example of hypocrasy.

    Med mj is illegal (federal)
    Med anything is governed by the states.
    Dea says mj has no redeeming properties (because they are a bastion of scientific info)

    Scientists cannot study it (due to potential abuse and because it is illegal).

    YET the Federal Government wants to regulate trade in an ILLEGAL product.

    qui bono? (who benefits?)

    prisons, police, lawyers, judges, politicians.

    Who suffers? taxpayers (the jailed ones, and the ones who get to pay for it)

    and why?

    These laws need to go, if only to acknowledge the racism of the War on (Some) Drugs.

    But it changes nothing.

    If the person had been drunk/stoned/tired/not wearing their prescription lenses

    then the full force of the law should come into effect. You see BY DRIVING they endangered others.

    If they stayed in and didn't DRIVE, then how exactly did they harm you or anyone else that you may care for?

    (you obviously care not for people with addictions/different taste, so why not just let them kill themselves (quicker) with thier first joint or whatever the PMRC types spout as science these day?)

    Another point. Knives CAN kill. so can CARS. shall we lock up their users too?

    I think my point may have beena little vague.

    What I am saying is you are at war with terror now, you are still at war with (some) drugs.

    Why are you still even worried about what some people do that harms no one but (arguable) themselves?

    I think you would be better served by emptying your prisons of these people. and stop building new ones.
