Anyone else find it amusing that this story is on cnn.com , part of the whole Time Warner (AOL) network? This is something I would have expected to see on msnbc.com instead. Oh well I agree with another/. poster here, rather than waste money and send the CD's to some other address it would be better to just write "Return to sender", return them straight to AOL instead and let them pick up the tab.
I can't even begin to tell you how nervous it makes me feel, running Outlook flippin' Express in Windows with all of the rampant virii (is that a word?) out there.
And personally (this isn't directed to the poster), I don't think boxen is a word either. Someone took the plural of ox (oxen) and decided it would suit box too, the plural of box is boxes.

Wrong! Gotta love how anything opensource automatically implies a GPL-like license now. Unless the author was referring to other parts of the Ogg Vorbis suite which aren't released under the BSD license, but I doubt it since the article mentions hardware players, ie. Tremor.
