Slashdot Mirror
Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5!
An anonymous coward writes: Having been a loyal iTunes user for quite some time, after seeing the report on Ars Technica about the newly released Winamp 5 Final, I simply had to try it out. It's pretty amazing, rivaling iTunes in many ways on Windows (mainly, speed). Ripping, library, etc: They're all there. Plus it comes with a slew of of new scriptable features. Simply put, it's dead sexy. Get your copy now! Note, last link requires some other OS.
You know.. the one that hardly anyone uses.. I think its called Windows or something.
:)
Obscure thing.
Will it be winamp 10?
That really licked the llama's ass.

with their writer hold your hands up?
You people with your hands up, you got ripped off, that's why we don't buy hardware that fell off of some guys truck.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that while iTunes allows you to rip to .mp3 or AAC as well as other things (like run on a Macintosh) for FREE, you have to pay for the pro-version of WinAmp to do the same things (well...accept for the AAC and MacOS support).
Just wanted to mention this...
heh...oh well...I have some karma to burn.

Is Nullsoft adopting a Fibonacci versioning system?
'cause that would be awesome.

why on earth is it called "final"?
have they stopped maintaining it already?
..for the day when we get the first all-in-one program that combines all these stupid all-in-one media players. Always use MetaMedia to open WinAmp in the future? [ Ok ]
iTunes runs on Windows now, too. Time to crawl out from underneath that rock you've been living under...
Yes, but you can also run iTunes on a G5 with OSX. :D

I was just here, where did I go?
I'm sure 100% of those are Konquerer users with forged headers.

Sorry works fine in firebird 0.7 here, so stupid stupid user is the correct cry :)

That still makes more sense than intel's chip versioning.
Back in the early 90's, the original Pentium was called "P5." 5th generation, I believe, whereas the 80386 and 80486 were 3rd and 4th gen.
For example, Gateway had model numbers like "P5-120" for 120MHz Pentiums.
Pentium Pro became P6.
Then came the Pentium 2. This became abbreviated as P2. Or sometimes P-II.
Pentium 3 = P3. Or sometimes P-III.
Pentium 4 = P4.
I sure hope they never come out with anything called "Pentium 5" or somebody will get punched.
But if I didn't know any better, I'd say that a Commodore-128 was twice as powerful as an Athlon-64.

The problem with moderating something as "troll" is at one reader's troll is another reader's "interesting". Likewise, an insightful comment, when provocative, is "flamebait" to a flamer.
FWIW, a troll in the eye of the beholder is flamebait, or at least deathbait, with the beholder's 13-level "Finger of Death" ray causing at least 3d6+13 HP damage to a 6d8+36 troll (_Monster Manual_ v3.5 pp26-7, 247).

Good lord, man. If you don't stop being so defensive, you're going to combust spontaneously.
I call what you have "Apple Defensiveness Syndrome" (ADS) and it isn't healthy. I've lost many friends to the (dis)order. Suddenly, all Apple jokes and/or criticisms (or even mention of rivals) become lightning rods that threaten to ignite flamewars of gigantic proportions.
Try repeating this to yourself every time you get upset: "It's only a computer, it does not reflect my self worth."
