I still don't really understand what's so great about DivX. I downloaded a half hour TV show and the file was freakin HUGE. I thought the great thing about DivX was quality AND a reduction in file sizes. I can encode a WIndows Media stream that to my eye anyway looks as good as the DivX file but at half the size.

<< Good thing for me, being a guy, we grow old gracefully! haha >>
Mike AI, not ALL men grow old gracefully...especially blondes...they tend to 'wash out' compare to their brunette counterparts who do the 'salt and pepper' thing that looks more 'distinguished'....at least for me. ;o)
I've always favored brunettes, but ended up marrying a blonde...go figure.
Monk do you know how hard it is to find virgin sheep anymore??

Yeah, all those goats have that old saying.... "once you go Serge, you never go back"
Mike will have to buy a new flock of VIRGIN sheep and not invite Serge over again.

Good luck, Ulfie! Spambot watches Junkyard Wars and way too much Discovery channel. He hates Robotica because of Ahmed Zappa... I'm not really sure why...
I like cartoons myself... And Encore's Action Channel...

They are not really dead but have made enough money to buy the secrets to immortality and have moved to a secret location run by Elvis and Sammy who are now lovers after faking their own death.

really. hadn't heard that. smart move by them. nobody's talking about it yet but these new sticks will have to be outlawed.
It's one of the reasons baseball doesn't allow aluminum bats in the major leagues. Pitchers would be killed. They are using new bats in baseball as well, made of some new type of wood, much harder and i heard some pitcher on ESPN say somebody is going to get killed.

NHL is sitting on a powederkeg. Looks like the league is going to turn into Slapshot again.
There is going to be a dead player soon and more dead fans. I have been waiting for the lawsuit from the family of the little girl who was killed by a puck at a Columbus Blue Jacket game.
Hockey players are using new sticks now made of these super light and strong materials, the puck is now being shot at speeds that are crazy by all the players, it used to be only a handful of players on each team who could do damage with a puck, now they all can.

DrG...
I grew up in Boston, went to games
in the late 70's and early 80's...
There were way more fights in the
stands than on the ice... Especially
when they played Montreal...
Been going to games in Dallas for 8
years.. It is much more like a fashion
show in the crowd... But they really
like their hockey now...

So many hot women in Texas they even turned Troy Aikman straight!

Anyone that jumps on the ice at an NHL game has to be incredibly stupid or incredibly drunk...probably both.
You're going up against 40 guys carrying weapons, wearing riot gear, and wearing razor blades on their feet. Gee, wonder who is going to win that battle?

The Montreal Expos are in first place in their division... they have a good team that mixes young and old...
They play in a stadium far from downtown, which has all the atmosphere of a parking lot, and Baseball has told us that this is effectively the last year for the Expos...
So who is going to support it?
Plus they are playing against Hockey right now, and the Canadians are in the playoffs for the first time in 4 years... Montreal is a hockey town...
