    Why do NFL teams keep giving Ryan Leaf a chance?

    I read this http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/spo.../0521leaf.html and can't help wondering what these people see in him. He's quite possibly the biggest draft bust ever, and yet teams still bring him in and give him the starting job like hes a proven performer....When will they learn?

    Dolby Digital Trailers

    I was wondering if there what the copyright implications of the DD trailers (train, canyon, etc) and whether it is ok to use them as a startup piece for my HTPC. They would certainly be for personal use, and no profits would be made.

    FPTV forum

    I know that the subdivisions have been done and redone, but I would like to throw my hat in the ring for a seperate FPTV forum.
