I don't own a DIVX player. I never will own a DIVX player. Why would anyone want to crack DIVX when all it will get you is a pan-n-scan movie which doesn't have all the features of an equivalent DVD. I'd rather spend my time figuring out how to get my Sony to play a Region 2 copy of Heat.
Also bear in mind that 128bit encryption does not necesscarily imply true 128bit encryption. Most software ( browsers included ) use key generation algorithms which allow to infer at least a few of bits automatically.

Microsoft's COOL

I knew I'd seen this name before, TI has a copyright C++ development library called COOL. Hmm... I guess Microsoft will handing out some $$$ again.
Nintendo's contention is that this program encourages pirating b/c you have to copy the rom packages to play the games. Your average gamer doesn't have the equipment to do that just laying around. So the emulator is either targeted at a very, very narrow market or their market is going to have to copy the games from someone else.
- I did work for a company that contracts with Microsoft. But they're not paying me anymore:-)
- I guess I should have thought my statement out more. What it all boils down too is that you can find data that says anything. Unix is easier than Windows, Windows is cheaper than Unix, MacOs is a technically superior operating system... I have a hard time believing any article that whips out figures like this.
I dislike NT and I despise Windows 9x, but I really doubt the figure takes into account all the training needed to teach people that cp means copy or that file names with different cases are not the same. In my old tech support days, I had a few calls from mac users who didn't know what a folder was ( that was one of those 3 hour calls that came in at 4:59pm ).
Oh yeah, did these people check the pricing of commercial unix software? I know Solaris has those really cheap deals now, but a 5 user copy of AIX for old PPC we got would pay my tuition for a semester.
In an ideal world, everyone would be running linux x-stations hooked up to a beefy quad-xeon... and everyone would have a limited edition Carmack Ferrari F50... it just ain't gonna happen;-)
