Quicktime Under Linux With MPlayer

Sark writes: "The latest version of the controversial MPlayer program for Linux supports Quicktime .mov files with the latest codecs. Apart from the closed source program Crossover, this is the first open source program that seems to work. Check out the Mplayer homepage for more info." According to formats page, Sorenson Quicktime is still not gonna happen any time soon.

Stephen King, author, dead at 55

[Anonymous Coward]

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home Christmas morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon. Sorry to have such bad news this holiday season.

In order for MPlayer to succeed

[Anonymous Coward]

It will need a simple interface, on a simple computer.

Anyway, here is the simplest computer around, and the interface is perfect because we are all born with it - the interface is human DRIVE. The computer works like this: I stick my pee sprout in your mom's poop chute for 1, and I stick it in her pee hole for 0.

poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0

Sometimes I stick it in her mouth, but that is for parity.

Sometimes complex operations can take a long time to complete, but that's okay! We're looking for simplicity here, not speed. And waiting for this interface isn't that bad.

This simple computer is very susceptable to visuses. In fact, it comes pre-loaded with several.

For review:

poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0

This computer also fits into Microsoft's .Net strategy - namely, pay per use. It costs $10 per computation, or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.

poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0

oh no

I mounted on top of her and started thrusting my hips uncontrollaby. Everything was fine, until I realized we were wearing the same brand and size of diapers. Pampers size 6. Oh well, she was the sexiest 4 year old ever.

I love Huggies too

I wore a Huggies overnight, and I woke up wet, and it felt so good that I started masturbating as soon as I woke up. I love Huggies.

Why bother with Quicktime?

[Anonymous Coward]

Mpeg is greated than all. Forget Quicktime. It's a lame proprietary and non-friendly format. Hell, i'd rather use AVI over Quicktime. Sorry if this comes off as a troll, but it's true, and im sick of seeing people complain about it. Just use something BETTER like MPEG.

Re:Where are the Debian packages?

[Skirwan]

I don't want to compile the package myself. I want binaries.

Then why on earth are you running Linux?!

Re:Controversial?

[Omnifarious]

Actually, I kind of dig their attitude.

I wish you hadn't posted anonymously so I could make sure you never ever worked for any company I ever had anything to do with. That's exactly the kind of attitude that nobody needs. From reading the LinuxWorld article, they seem like utter jerks, plain and simple. That they happen to produce good code is like saying the fascists made the trains run on time.
