To limit upload time I’d ‘resize’ them locally before uploading. Preferred tool depends on platform (Mac/PC) and where you want to post them (Youtube, etc.).

@ Baba Doodlius: I have DSL, but it’s taking like HOURS to upload. I’ve tried no fewer than three times and it’s just not happening. Once, I tried to FTP and it worked its magic for 6 hours only to time out. Not good. One video took 20 minutes. Doing the math, that would take 12 hours to do all 38 right? There HAS to be an easier way to do this.

@ Andrew: Love your 2/3 to 1/3 ratio suggestions.

@ Carolina Pereira: To be revealed soon, I think. :)

@ dkzone: See, that’s the thing … I tried to upload one to my own server and it timed out. I swear I feel like I’ve tried everything several times and it’s just not working. :( By the way, you said, “nice guys aren’t trying to bang anything that moves.” VERY good point.

@ lamesabassman: Thanks. :)

@ The Angry Medic: You don’t have to know tech stuff because you’re a medical genius!!! :)

@ dkzone: Sarah Michelle Gellar vs. the chick with the hideous mole on her face. Someone needs to script that battle.

@ Andrew: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” meets “Sex and the City.” LOVE IT!!! :)

Sarah michelle Gellar was “buffy the vampire slayer”….also the original kendall from all my children…

You mean the chick with the hideous mole on her face

Ooh, plus my technical knowledge is about the same as that of a retarded sloth’s, but if you ever need technical information of a medical nature, call me*!

lamesabassman……. learn me, ma’am, learn me……

FBC- have you considered having your own website for file storage and transfer? You still have to upload, but afterward you just send the otherside a link and allow them to download at their leisure.

The otherside to the argument about “nice guys ” getting laid less, is that nice guys aren’t trying to bang anything that moves….thats why they’re nice guys….

but i’m very curious about those 38 clips ;)

Paul and Baba are both right.

First, if you need to blow down a huge amount of data (which, as I’m sure you know, is all video is to your computer), then you could always buy a flash (aka “thumb” aka “USB”) drive and send the drive to the recipient. If that doesn’t work for whatever reason, you’re stuck sending it via the Internet.

And, secondly, as Baba already pointed out, it doesn’t matter how you’re doing it (email, FTP, etc.), the bottleneck is going to be the speed of your connection.

Did a little research and found this for ya: http://www.pando.com/send_large_movie_file

I’ve never tried it, don’t know how good it is, but the site used the magic words: “fast” and, more importantly, “free.”

As for threesomes and nice guys not getting that much ass:

I was once asked by a female friend whether I’d like to join her in a tryst…with another female. The scenarios she presented were…tempting. And I literally couldn’t believe the words coming out of my mouth, but I said no.

Yeah, yeah, I know. There are hundreds or thousands of guys reading this right now who are yelling at their computer screens, “WHAT?! But…WHY?!” Ya know…couldn’t really tell you, except to say that something about it didn’t sit right with me.

As for being nice versus being a jerk? I look at it the same way I look at the nature versus nurture question. The best answer I ever heard was “2/3 nurture, 1/3 nature.” That’s about the right mix for nice guy/jerk, too–”2/3 nice, 1/3 jerk.” ;) Coincidentally, it also works for a lot of mixed drinks…
