The guy was completely serious. He used to troll the alt.laserdisc usenet boards and rail against widescreen.



By Divx does he mean that stupid rental system that Best buy came out with in the early 2000s?

I totally remember that guy!

Yup, that's exactly right. Not the useful video codec that came later.

So, is this guy still heading this ridiculous campaign or has he given up?
Dammit, Maverick! Why don't you play by the rules?!

"Joel, what's a Harringway?"
"About a pound."

Doctor Who?

If there is one thing I have learned about these types from DanialCriegeisnotbond.com it's that now matter how stupid,useless,or out of date their fight is they never give up.

Why did they name a good codec after the dumbest way to rent or buy anything in human history?

I haven't heard of anything from Bernie Farber in a long time. That page was at the original AOL Hometown for years and I think it only died when they pulled the plug on hometown.
