    Freakin' FCC was sung by Peter, Brian, and Stewie in FG417 "PTV":

    Peter: Make a joke about your bowels and they order in the troops

    We know someone is going to make a real-life Jurassic Park someday, let's decide right now where it should be.

    We need a really isolated island, let the voting begin!

  9. Re:As a Canadian, let me say... on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, but remember that for a while, Canadian Tire money was worth more than the US dollar.

    At least when shopping at Canadian Tire, eh?

  10. Ugly logo on New "MP3 100% Compatible" Logo For DRM-Free Music · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But at least they didn't spell it "compatable".

  11. Re:Horray on Theora 1.0 Released, Supported By Firefox · · Score: 1

    Actually, YouTube does use H.264 when sending videos to the iPhone/iPod touch.

    They're also supposed to be using H.264 for all new videos and converting all current videos to H.264 too, from what I've heard.

  12. Re:Free Is Good, But Quality Is Lacking on Theora 1.0 Released, Supported By Firefox · · Score: 1

    The <video> tag is supposed to be supported on iPhone/iPod touch, however you'll have to use .mp4 files (MPEG-4 or H.264 video with AAC audio). Check for maximum video sizes and bitrates (though if you specifically targeting that platform, you should use 480 pixels wide by whatever height the aspect ratio gives you).

  13. Re:Command line is not easy for most users on Theora 1.0 Released, Supported By Firefox · · Score: 1

    What about the video size and framerate, the audio sampling rates and channels, the bitrates?

  14. Re:60gigs in Canada on AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage · · Score: 1

    Telebec's limit is 35 GiB (Quebec, Canada).

  15. Re:DRM pushes Silverlight on Netflix Extends "Watch Instantly" To Mac Users · · Score: 1

    All these problems could be solved with .mp4

    There, fixed that for you with a real-world, already in widespread use, industry-standard CODEC.

  16. Re:"Movie Selection is Limited"? on Netflix Extends "Watch Instantly" To Mac Users · · Score: 1

    My Tandy MC-10 is laughing at your puny attempts of suffering.

  17. Re:Solution on Silencing a Hard Drive Using Household Items · · Score: 1

    Are you telling us there a market for software that checks for reads/writes and make mechanical hard drive noise accordingly?

    Indeed, it hasn't been 22.3 years yet.

  19. So, how many game companies is there left? on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Microsoft? No thanks, I don't do Windows or Xbox.
    Sony? No thanks I don't want a Blu-Ray player nor DRM in my games.
    EA? Transgaming/Cedega, DRM and now this? No thanks.

    Companies I still trust enough to buy their games:
    - Nintendo (for Zelda, Metroid, etc)
    - Blizzard (still waiting on Starcraft II and Diablo III)

    In fact, almost any Zelda, Metroid, Starcraft or Diablo game is already pre-sold because I trust them enough to sell me good quality games that don't make me feel like a thief or a beta-tester.

    Actually, in this case, hate the referee.

    BBC: No, we want you to play Doctor Who.
    The doctor: Doctor Who?
    BBC: That's right.
    The doctor: Well, tell me the name already! ... etc.
