Here is a quote from that page related to ogg vorbis
Vorbis, on the other hand is named after the Terry Pratchett character from the book _Small Gods_. The name holds some significance, but it's an indirect, uninteresting story.
Ogg Vorbis is the current CODEC in development as part of the Ogg multimedia project, begun immediately after Fraunhofer issued its 'Letter of Infringement' to freeware MP3 encoder efforts. Vorbis is intended to go head-to-head with the two current MPEG-4 compressions, AAC and TwinVQ.
This is great news. I don't know of any OSS that will play.rm files. It's just too bad that Real makes crappy software. There is a lot of work ahead for the OSS if they want to make it any good.
One of the key design aspects of this aircraft is the nature of it's redundency. The aircraft is a dual processor system giving each system at least dual redundency.
The way the government goes about creating this dual system is pretty interesting. Two seperate companies are contracted to design two different systems running on different processors to accomplish the same task. These companies are in different cities and have no contact with each other in order to make the two designs as different as possible.
A flaw in one processor will not be found in the other and a flaw in one system design will not be found in the other. This reduces the odds that a pilot and a $22,000,000 aircraft will fall to the ground.
I did not see Schindler's List, however I did see Saving Private Ryan. What I meant in my origional statment is that Speilberg is not a big fan of ending his movies on a negative note. In Saving Private Ryan they had that whole emotional thing with the guy's family. I hope that I am clear on what I mean.
This is the best decision that Lucus has made regarding Star Wars. The only person that could make the Star Wars series worse is Spielberg.
Episode III is supposed to one of the darkest films in the series; the fall of the Republic, the death of the Jedi, and the rise of the Empire. I do not think Spielberg is capable of making such a dark movie.
For Example: look at how he changed the ending of AI. The film would have had a much greater emotional impact if it ended with the boy sitting in the helicopter staring at the statue forever.
If Speilberg directs Episode III there will be some sort of cute and cuddily ending to it.

At what angular velocity would a child (~30kg) explod on a merry-go-round? What would happen if they were to have a CD in their pocket?
The only thing that can save Star Wars is if Episode III is directed by Kevin Smith with an advisory comittie composed of Star Wars geeks.

P.S. I would like to see Kevin Smith direct Episode III with a team of advisors composed of at least 9 Star Wars geeks (I volunteer).

This is a link to a site with links to other sites that have information on absurd patents. I know it's not coopyrights, but it will have to do.
Wacky Patents
I believe Bart Simpson beat you to the one hand clapping.
Now my victory dance will be substantially less embarrassing.
Now I can look at twice as much porn!
Now we may know what DRM really tasts like...
