here's an idea - let's all ignore Divx and hope they just disappear. because of all the pr0n and ripped DVDs being pirated into DivX, a coup-le of our clients have asked us to enode into it, so we checked out the authoring fees. $15000. $15000 for fuck's sake! Just so we can author in a format that's WORSE than Real, QuickTime or Windows Media. DivX might possibly want to come round to our facility so the can lick the sweaty residue from my bulging nutsack. If anyone thinks DivX is anything other than a third-rate snow job, think again.
wrong. Real streams better than anyone else at modem rates. WinMedia streams best at broadband rates and QuickTime kills them both for progressive download and interactivity. Still, what do I know, I only do video compression for a living...
we used to load our Black Widow catapults with conkers when I was 14 - you had a SERIOUSLY painful range of about 50 metres. It was quite possible to knock someone out at 30 metres - seen it happen. Hearing a conker go past you head at a couple of hundred kph was moderately sobering...
I'm sorry - even though I DO agree with the broad thrust of your argument - there's NO WAY that you can describe New Labour as a socialist party. If anything, they are actually a MORE right wing government than the previous Conservative one.
you're kind of missing the point that Israel was CREATED in the middle of Palestine. Palestine is an OCCUPIED country - they have EVERY right to do WHATEVER is necessary to free themselves. Israel HAS NO RIGHT to exist at all. Were the French resistance wrong to kill Germans during WWII?
I'm quite busy fondling a dog's genitals at the moment, so I can only type with one hand, but I must say that this C/Net article is the biggest pile of dung presented as journalism that I've come across since I last accidentaly looked at Tom's Hardon Guide. F U C K !
what the fuck are you talking about? Metric = Si units. What would you rather we use than Metres, fucking hand-spans? The Romans were great and all, but Metric makes sense EXACTLY because it ISN'T human-scale. The rest of the universe, mathematics, physics etc etc couldn't really give a shit about human-scale in case you hadn't noticed. Imperial might be great for cooking and carpentry, but they're a total liability for science and engineering.
ahh, you seem to have forgotten the "zeroth" priority there, which I shall call "space". ( . Steal Public Money and Give to Corporate Sponsors.) Of course, this priority is never actually detailed to the electorate even though it unfortunately consumes up to 66% of all available funds.

nope, that's A M E R I C A N you fool!
isn't Firewire a buck or two per port? Is that extortionate? If so, how do you explain the sub-$20 Firewire cards?
believe me, if you had any interest in encoding performance at all, a new Athlon XP, G4+ or P4 machine would make MUCH more sense.

it's called BUSINESS as in CAPITALISM. it's what puts food in your belly and clothes on your back. Fucking hell!
Oh yeah, coz Alpha and Sun hardware are WAAAAY more available and affordable than Winx86 or MacPPC boxes aren't they?

the UN's irrelevance is proven every day. By Israel. It was the USA that created Israel, don't you dare pretend otherwise.

you seem to be confusing Power and PowerPC - two different classes of CPUs for two different applications. The clue is the "PC" tag...

yeah, this technique is gonna work just great on the Chinese...

nothing to do with America's pig headed refusal to give up on imperial units then? Can you spell I S O L A T I O N I S M ?
nope, born in England of English parents. Great great grandparents were Irish and Welsh respectively
Nope. In Omniweb it's correctly referred to as your "start page".
Cromwell controlled the SHIT out of you. Us too. :-]
MOD HUMANITARIAN UP!
and who the hell is "WE" in this context? Care to divulge your lineage, immigrant boy?
what, all SIX MILLION of them?
