+If you were considering hiring me, or entrusting me to do anything serious, you'd better watch this first:
 
  * [[BernieIronMaiden.ogg]] - [1.8MB] if you have the free OggTheora codec
  * [[BernieIronMaiden.mov]] - [3.6MB] if you're stuck with proprietary QuickTime codecs
- * nothing - [0MB] if you're stuck with the proprietary MediaPlayer or RealPlayer codecs

+**A:** because my wiki doesn't support mime-magic yet

+**Q:** why don't you just let apache serve media files? \\
+**A:** because a CGI has no way to "handoff" a file to the web server once they've been invoked
 
 ==== Food and Power ====
 
 Here's a stupid movie by SamuelKlein, ArjunSarwal and myself:
 
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerLow.ogg]] - [16MB] OggTheora stream, quality 5
  * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerHigh.ogg]] - [26MB] OggTheora stream, quality 7
  * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerMed.ogg]] - [62MB] OggTheora stream, quality 10
+ * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerLow.ogg]] - [16MB] OggTheora stream, quality 5
 
 If your computer cannot play the above links, you should really consider installing
 a free media player, or just switching to Linux which comes with all the free media
 players and codecs out of the box.  Meanwhile, here's a workaround:
 
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerMed.avi]] - [103MB] original AVI stream from our shitty camera
+ * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPower.avi]] - [103MB] original AVI stream from our shitty camera
 
 These also prove the quality of the OggTheora codec.  After seeing this, I think
 I'd recommend using it for its technical advantages in addition to its legal advantages.
