Cr@p. Didn't look at it before I hit "send"

That was "Right foot back".

Sorry, TC. Didn't mean to offend.

@tuxchick.......could we possibly have an exemplar video ? Could be most instructive..... :-) I'll paint the large fire and smoke in later.

What codec would you recommend her?

@ jimbauwens....... I know I am going to get "fried" for this, but would you say "Hot.264" would do ? I insist on audio being included however. lol.......and I cannot schtopp laffink...... :-) Okay tuxchick.....mea culpa....suggest a suitable penance. :-D

I knew that reading this thread would give me sufficient justification to have beer for breakfast.

Who is this person who claims to be @tuxchick?

The real tuxchick knows that you don't need any justification for beerfast.

It's always 'after 4PM' at least somewhere in the world!

@hans --

To heck with 4PM. Its always something somewhere. Rainy, cloudy, light, dark, windy, politically correct, politically incorrect, moody, grumpy, etc.

There is never, ever a need to justify beer.

Moody and grumpy is normally when you join our little discussion! Ahem.

@hans --

Yes, I always try to bring a little sunshine when things are getting dreary.

That's my story. I'm sticking to it.

Quoting:I always try to bring a little sunshine when things are getting dreary.

And vice-versa, just to be consistent.

@"You lot".........sigh.......you are all trying to corrupt the few morals I have left that are untarnished. Beer for breakfast !!.....That's almost as bad as the sailor I once saw who loved "redders" so much he actually DID put tomato ketchup on his cornflakes for breakfast....urkk !!.....I'll stick with the single malt scotch after dinner.

Excellent. Not just derailed, but total train wreck! My work here is done.

The engine exploded, the tanks leaked, the coal cars all spilled out.

Grab a broom, TC. You and I are going to be here a while.

*taps foot, annoyed*

> My work here is done.

I've sometimes suspected that TC's comments are put up just to make Brand X's comments look sane by comparison.

But then I re-read the comments by others (myself included), and I can only conclude that, no, she fits in here just as much as the rest of us.

Hey, Gus3, and Tuxchick......if both of you are good with brooms, please use a "beam me up Scotty" and drop into Brisbane........they sure could use you......I have been looking at the mud being scraped off the streets and buildings......The more hands the better.....you can really get "down and dirty".

Actually, now that I think of it, TC's front-end loader would be more suited to the task.

H.264 can't be included in any open source browser because the consortium that owns most of the patents has threatened to sue for royalties. They have also said that the open-source x264 implementation of H.264 violates their patents. How on earth can anyone call that an open codec? Ubiquitous, maybe. Flash is ubiquitous, too, but at least they don't pretend that they're 'open.'

nalf: Sadly they also threatened WebM.

Quoting:The engine exploded, the tanks leaked,

Hey, gus3, seems like you're familiar with the area where I live!

This was the leaking tanks which exploded about two weeks ago, 15 miles from where I live. More spectacular explosions on a vid here.

Here's the car which spilled ethanol (OK, no coal) last week, 30 miles from here.
