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.
actually, some people may not know what an .exe is. or they may assume it is just a mis-named zip. or something.
I highly doubt it.
. there is nothing wrong with pointing out that the file at the link provided is platform specific.
I never said there was.
I also don't find it insulting to say "some other OS." He probably is not using Windows. It's not like he said "some other CRAPPY OS".
Then why didn't he just call it Windows?
If there's anything worse than ia troll, it is someone hunting imaginary trolls.
That's nice, but it's a bit unrelated to what I've said, now isn't it?
Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.
"Fox provides a centrist balance to the left-wing media that dominates in the U.S."
Of all your statements, this is the one which caused my jaw to drop the lowest. Fox News is centrist!?! Oh come on!
However, it has been shown that Fox news can actually make people dumber. 2/3 of Americans, when asked, incorrectly said at said at least one or more Iraqis were involved in the 9-11 attacks (correct answer - NONE!) However, people who listen to FOX News were FOUR times more likely to get this question wrong than those who listen to NPR.
FOX News clearly has a political agenda. You like it - Fine. Just don't apologize for it by pretending they are in the center.

Yet I'm given a score of 1, Redundant at the time of this post?
Not only is the math bad, but the moderation stinks, too.
And I haven't received my karma bonus yet, despite still having excellent karma and the option to check the No Karma Bonus box. It looks like I have been $rtbl'd...

And what exactly is 0.1 of a 'speaker?
You DO realise that CDs are stereophonic, right?
That was classic intercourse!
However, people who listen to FOX News were FOUR times more likely to get this question wrong than those who listen to NPR.
And NPR listeners are more than FOUR times more likely to think that they are superrior to everybody else due to their trust-fund ivy league educations.
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
Winblows!
Hahahahahahahahahah! You think that one up by yourself? Let me try - Microshit! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!! Even better!

The US has its flaws, but you go too far.
God Bless America, with the worst crime levels in the first world
Irrelevant. That is the fault of the people committing the crimes, and no one else. I could likely find a rather large number of criminals where you live, but you have neglected to provide that information.
God Bless America, where "democracy" means a rich, white male as President
Irrelevant. If a rich white male is elected, then a rich white male is elected. That's all it means.
God Bless America, the biggest consumer of the world's natural resources
Irrelevant, given that all are either produced here or duly purchased from others. It is not as though they are stolen.
God Bless America, so happy to violate international laws
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, my friend.
God Bless America, where "freedom of speech" means race-hate groups like KKK
Where freedom of speech means real freedom of speech for all people, even those despised by society. Better than driving them underground, so you can pretend that the problems don't exist.
God Bless America, and its massive and ever-growing poverty gap
Documentation, please.
God Bless America, with barely 300 years of dire history and culture
The US is a young nation; so what?
God Bless America, all its appalling "sitcoms" with no grasp of irony
Yes, the US has some bad TV shows. It also has some good ones. Mind you, I find it interesting that many of the worst "American" TV shows are actually concepts ripped wholesale from other countries. Witness Coupling, Survivor, and Big Brother, to name only three.
God Bless America, with the highest obesity levels in the developed world
A problem, yes, but once again, the sole fault of those who don't control their eating and exercise habits. This does not consider the genetically obese; were only the genetically obese counted, the levels would almost certainly be similar to anywhere else.
God Bless America, because corporations should be allowed to run amok
As opposed to enslaving the public to the government in a babysitter-state condition of total dependency? I'd call that the lesser of two evils.
God Bless America, wasting billions to attack foreign countries
Define "waste".
I still think it was truly idiotic of the Congress to sing God Bless America on the Capitol steps the afternoon of 9/11 (which is what started the "God Bless America" craze and may be responsible for bolstering the morale of the Pseudo-Christian Right). Why, of all songs, did they have to pick that one? They should have sung The Star-Spangled Banner, or maybe America the Beautiful. Singing a song was a good idea; singing that song was a mistake which has had hideous consequences.
Having been a loyal iTunes user for quite some time...
Yeah.... two months can seem like "quite some time" to some of us. Especially windows users like the poster.

Fox News advertises Bush and Cheney every chance they get. During the war, when everyone else was being somewhat sombre, perhaps even recognising that people were actually *dying*, Fox had the bad taste to have lots of cool backgrounds showing mighty US military vehicles zooming out of huge fireball explosions.
Read Pynchon.
"He gave Saddam plenty of chances to behave reasonably and comply with the cease fire agreements."
Why was it up to Bush to make this decision? The UN virtually told him *not* to attack Iraq by refusing to authorise it. We (being the other 5.75 billion) didn't ask you to run the world. There is very little logic in saying 'we gave him a chance' - who says the chance was yours to give? Not the UN. If the UN wants to authorise force, it will do so directly.
"the Saddam regime was terrorist, just like the 9/11 attackers were"
Keep going. Soon the word 'terrorist' will be completely meaningless. You are wrong, of course, in the sense that terrorism refers to violence used by a minority to exert political pressure against an established government or majority. State tyranny is typically better described as 'authoritarian', 'totalitarian', 'Republican' etc. (NB: JOKE). By calling Saddam a 'terrorist' in the same way that the 9/11 guys were terrorists you confuse the issue and allow yourself to unconsciously tie together two completely unrelated phenomena. George Orwell would be proud.
The closest link between Al Qaeda and Saddam is that the US funded and actively aided both of them.
Read Pynchon.
I was thinking more of a website being able to track things such as search requests. Here is one website dedicated to strange, funny or just downright disturbing searches people have found in their referer logs.
