Not everybody here endorses the 'I'm neutral' mantra so many politicians like to hide behind. There was a time when neutrality meant something (as in human rights and social thinking), but nowadays it's just another phrase...

I know. I was just having a little bit of fun. It's early here...

That is good news for Africa. From what I gather HD-VMD was being touted as the HD format for the developing world... so it's a definite step up for Africa.

So HD-DVD is now the format for the developing world... Good luck to it and I hope it well. However in the developed world (with more spending power) BD is the way to go, the additional benefits are definitely worth it.

Noooooo... You'll give them Ideas. Toshiba will now probably supply some free players to some bases down there and do precisely that.

I agree with possum pete. lets declare a moratorium on jokes relating to aids, the holocaust, cancer, sids, and other causes of suffering. for those to fly you REALLY need to know the people you're making them too.
