Right on! When I saw the headline about dropping XviD, I thought, "Good riddance!" I'm so tired of coming across new rips in XviD + AVI. I use H.264 and MKV for all of mine.

Yeah, TFA is total bullshit. The PHP scripts probably spend 99% of their time waiting on the network or on a database query. Rewriting in C++ would have virtually no gains, but development/maintenance effort would shoot way up.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's the ultra-conservative ones, that would make adultery illegal if they could, who are the ones caught cheating on their wives. The whole Mark Foley incident.
