[Cube] OFF Topic but worth it/MIME?

[atoa at krak.net]

It is a .wmv. You can grab it directly at 
http://media2.big-boys.com/gatesconan.wmv .

VLC plays it, though without sound. Windows Media Player, even the Mac 
version, plays it fine.

MIME is NOT a Windows format. It stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail 
Extensions. Read all about it: http://www.mhonarc.org/~ehood/MIME/

It shows a Lego block with question marks on it. It doesn't happen often enough for me to be irritated by it and I assumed MIME was a Wintel format or something so I never bothered to look into it. I'm guessing you are viewing this page on a Mac, so WTF is MIME and how do I obtain the plugin?
