bfree writes "Now on your favourite mplayer mirror you can find the 1.0Pre1 release of Mplayer! While work is underway on a second-generation version of Mplayer, I have already fired off emails to my Windows-based friends to let them now that the one player to rule them all now has (preview) support for their OS (I've only looked at a precompiled command line version on Windows but it handled everything I threw at it so far except DVDs). Big changes include Windows (via mingw32 and cygwin) ports, as well as Mac OS X (with extra-accurate Darwin timers). Now if only all those legal questions would go away, perhaps we could have a new killer Free Software application to save people installing Real, Quicktime and Windows Media Player (on Linux!?) or perhaps it's the one application to finally tell the **AA where the world wants to go today!"

mplayer has nothing on xine. it works perfectly with kde, while gmplayer just sucks on kde. also gmplayer lacks many of mplayer's advanced features!

  Sure--- add this to your apt repository:
  girl-src girl://girl.co.th release sexy uninhibited
  apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and you should be set. For rpms, you may need to install apt-rpm first. It's a great program.

  I officially object to the offtopic mods for my above story. It was directly relavent to the story at hand. At least be sensible and mark me overrated because it wasn't a good story or flamebait for the use of sex in the comment. Definitely not offtopic, though. Read my jounal for lots of (true) stories like that one!

  You know I was looking thru your journal, hoping something there might help make sense of your comment, and I just gotta ask: What the fuck are you, some kind of weight-gain missionary? "Here at Calories for Christ, we have helped over ONE HUNDRED FORTY natives raise their body fat percentage! But making God's sheep bigger isn't cheap, won't you donate?" I think you oughta teach Goy a few words of English and let her read what you're writing about her. "Oh Daniel-san, you no writie bad thingie about Goy! Goy good girl, no ass fuckie story! Goy be very angry!"

Rumor has it that the Europeans are now threating to patent the thought process.

Good thing that they don't use it much!!!!
