The nice thing about linux is that most distros come with the `file` utility. Just run it on the ".viv";
file/path/to/serenity.viv
Already tried it; it just says 'data', so file doesn't know about it. I've tried it with a number of players so far (xine, mplayer, realplayer, even Windows Media Player running under Codeweavers' crossover) and none of them can read it.
My guess is that it's an mpeg wrapped up in some sort of drm that requires their encryption key to play it.
It never ceases to amaze that a large majority of the people on this board have an innate aversion to serve the country that has provided them with the most freedom and liberty of ANY government in the history of man.
Please provide detailed evidence as to how the United States of America provides people "with the most freedom and liberty of ANY government in the history of man". In doing so please make specific refence as to how the US provides more freedoms than all of the following countries; Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Please be sure to note the freedoms that the citizens of these countries are allowed that you are not in the US, and advise as to how you determine that the US affords its citizens with "the most freedom and liberty of ANY government in the history of man".
Please also provide evidence that you aren't the drooling, flag-waving, clueless moron that you appear to be.
Lord of the Rings and musical in
one sentence? Either of them, alone, is bad enough, but together, I'd rather spend several hours listening to Donald Rumsfeld recite his favourite passages from Revelations...
That is now beginning to put customers more at ease that they don't need to make a shift (to AMD)
Just how hard is it to move to a chip that does essentially the same thing as Intel? Even from a systems administration perspective, this is a non-issue.
100 years from now, there won't even BE a United States of America. It will be a fundamentalist Christian Republic under biblical law, and its rulers will get along surprisingly well with their Muslim cohorts in the Middle-East.
...done by free software developers is charity, anyway. It might not be vaccinating kids, but at least they'll be able to afford a free OS when they don't die of whatever would have killed them before Mr Gates came along.

Have we? I haven't. I have no intension of paying over $2 for a single, especially one that is DRM-crippled.
So, someone gets hit by a car, struggles to their feet, limps along a bit and then pulls out their phone to call for help... and it doesn't work.
Nice one.
* Introduced Species, check
* Predatory behaviour, check
* Running unchecked in the Australian bush, check
That describes most Australian farmers.

Here's the direct link to the video file, although I still don't know of a Linux player that can handle it:

I already paid for my computer - why should I have to pay more to use your software?I don't pay for software. I use free software
I already paid the cover charge for this club - the drinks should be free now.I would never consider visiting one of those shitholes
Grow upNow come up with a rational argument for micropayments, moron.
They probably have. And then, they probably figured out that no-one would pay it.
Micropayments are a dumb idea. I already pay for net access. I'm not going to pay more to look at websites.
I can't. They're only breasts. Everyone has them, some are just bigger than others. Religious half-wits should just get a grip.

...that no-one ever decides to cross one of these things with a cobra...
Well, that's pretty dumb. Don't they travel or something?
If they've got DRM and mplayer plays them fine, doesn't that mean their DRM isn't working?
What stops me then transferring the files to a friend's computer with mplayer so that he can play them?
Ok, it's flamebait, I know, but really...

Well, you're not here, so there's one racist bastard that we don't have...
"change most anything"?
Is slashdot reaching such depths that submitters can't even form sentences correctly?
That should be "change almost anything", thankyou.
Yeah, yeah, I know, offtopic -1.

Surely the Russians wouldn't be too impressed about that, since the path takes them right over their airspace...
That stands for Intellectual Property Television, right?
...DeForest Kelley, and I'll be impressed.

I buy them, I own them, they're mine. I can do what I like with them.

I have. I've also met a person who couldn't work out why her floppy disk was unreadable, when she put it in the drive upside-down.
It's a tree, not a fscking forest!
