Speex files have.spx extension (or the extension is omitted). Do not know about FLAC or Theora.
But it does not matter; the point is, people are understood when they say "Ogg" as meaning Ogg Vorbis. Show me one person who saw the this post and thought to themselves, "I wonder what they are talking about? Do they mean Vorbis, or Speex? Or something else entirely?" No, everybody who read this knew immediately that they were talking about Vorbis.
Because in the case of.avi files, there are many different encapsulated formats. Raw DV? DivX? Something else? But if you see a.ogg file, you can pretty much bet it is Vorbis..ogg has a (virtually) 1-to-1 correspondence to Vorbis.

This is a piece of software that you can stick on a notebook (or any computer for that matter), and then use as if it were anothe monitor. You need a wired network connection, though, or be willing to accept crummy refresh rates w/ WiFi.
We pay about $32/month here in Faifax, VA (just outside of DC). That is only because we have our local, long distance, and internet service rolled into one package, though; as an earlier poster noted, Verizon (our provider) typically charges $40/month.
We get 768/128 down/up. I am not sure what pricing is for more, other than "more."
Also, I have heard a lot of people complain about Verizon's service, but our experience has been quite good. We typically get near 768kbps downstream (on the order of 720-740knps), and our upstream seems to exceed the 128kbps limit, but that may be my imagination. I have not actually done any testing for that.
I agree with the parent - why use AIM when you could setup your own Jabber server? Also, for those of you that are security conscious (read: paranoid), it allows you to keep all your intranet communications from getting send through AOL servers.

You can go to radioshack and buy a gizmo to do that for, like, $20. Old news.
