Trivia: here in Sweden, 30% income tax is pretty much the norm for anyone with a full time job, though it varies slightly depending on were you live.
You pay more on everything above a certain amount, but most pay around 30%.
Actually Windows 7 wont work with MOST OpenGL games either. I tried running a couple of OSS games that used OpenGL on a really outdated Geforce 9800GT and a quad core i5 and it failed to run outside of software render mode.
Granted BZFlag is a super high end game that makes Crysys look like Wolfenstine 3d (That everyone is sarcasim)
If you are into gaming, dont use Windows 7 64 bit. It's incompatible as hell.
Really? BZFlag works fine for me... Granted, I've got a i7 920@3.48 GHz and a GTX 470...
And yes, I run win7 64 bit as my windows OS.

I'm not an expert in video or audio production, I just dabble in it as a hobby. but one thing I often wonder is, what is the point of these container formats?
I've got a miniDV camera, and a canon point and shoot that thanks to chdk can record good-enough video. Both give me ".AVI" files, even though one is miniDV, while the other is Mjpeg. Mjpeg files don't work in my editor, while miniDV does. but I didn't know this at first, all I knew was that I have a bunch of
Faster seeking (index), multiple audio and subtitle streams, chapters. Just of the top of my head. There are probably others, like having video and audio in the same file to begin with;)
The great thing about Matroska is that it supports (or at least can support) absolutely everything. The main drawback of Matroska is that it supports (or at least can support) absolutely everything.
Matroska is a great container format, but unless you have a program like mplayer or vlc you can't guarantee that a Matroska file is going to be playable on your system. You can't reasonably expect browser maker to standardise on Matroska if it will mean having to include 30+ different codecs in their software, which from a practical standpoint it will. The unfortunate reality is that most of the world's population still doesn't have access to a comprehensive library of software like apt, and while our current software IP regime reigns, they never will.
Which would be why you would specify the codecs in the standard as well, which is what the html5 video debate is mostly about.
I try as much as possible to unblock sites I visit frequently and want to support, but it's practically impossible for me to concentrate on reading an article with some damn flashing/spinning ad vying for my attention. When these appear too frequently I have no choice but to put the site back on the block list.
I have the same problem. Animated adds make the site effectively useless to me. However, as I care more about my sanity (such as it is) than someone elses economy, I block as much as possible.
One good reason why computers can do more work than people is that they never have to stop and answer the phone.
