True. "Puke" is reserved for another OS. ;) "Weenie" is reserved for "Ball Park". I would prefer my subjects call me "Lord Master", or "Evil Tyrant". Possibly, "Woshisname". I digress! This is not the coatroom!

:LOL:

Back when it was still a novel thing to have computers speak aloud, I changed mine around so that it referred to me as "O Righteous Lawgiver and Ruler Of All That Thou Surveyest" or some such nonsense. Nowadays, I often change the voice alerts on my Macs to start with "Please, don't beat me" or "Great Googlymoogly!"

How about "Dear Facist Bully-boy" ala "The Young Ones"?

Lol!
 

Well, sure, if I could get "Wick" to say it, or get the computer to use "Wick's" voice. Gotta love that Coventwy pwonunciation -- Wick totally wocks.

I prefer "Payable to the order of...", all things considered. ;)

Actually, it's only the "Pro" encoder software that costs money -- the decoder is free, and when used for players in personal computers, there would be no license fee. Apple could inclide a simple EULA (like many things in software update) that says "Hey, if this isn't personal, go pay for it."

Until people pay for Quicktime Pro, when then Apple has to drop a cut of the proceeds on the DivX folks, or they remove the DivX decoder plug-in. Which folks will then just download and install again. Better to skip the whole darned middleman and just let folks do it themselves.

Why not have the Divx Encoder (Divx Pro) come with Quicktime Pro, even if a small cut of the proceeds do go to the DivX folks? Decoder functionality free, pay for Encodiing functionality. That's pretty standard fare.

Though it seems more like Apple is really pushing for the standard, free codecs... H264, etc. Too bad they're usually not as good... :-/
