Squeezebox MP3 Player Hacked to Play Video

Xenna writes "The Squeezebox MP3 Player has found a new application: With the Videobox software and some cabling it becomes a networked Video Player. This is the latest development to come out of the active community Slim Devices have managed to attract around their very hackable MP3 players. Only last week the SoftSqueeze software player was announced on the Slim users mailing list. The Squeezebox was reviewed on Slashdot last December."

    Churchill would've been gassed if it hadn't been for the US.

    Thank god for the americans. You know the rest of the world shouldn't have bothered trying. We could have just waited for the americans to get off there asses and sit and watch hitler murder people for a few years too.

    > America led the charge to end this as well. Europe as a whole thought that what Serbia was doing was "OK", just as many Europeans in the 1940s thought that despite Hitler's flaws, it was good that he was solving the Jewish problem.

    Nice rewriting of history. I suggest you keep locked up in your over nationalistic propaganda. You may want to realize tho that it is people like you who in fact cause situations like the one in Serbia or in the 1940s. Its blind hatred of that what is different.

    Ok, first of all, 'nationalism'. Yeah, there is a bit of assumption there, but the thign you wrote is very popular among the same group who believes in 'the new American Century', and serve as propaganda to make America look better then it really is.

    It is also a gross over simplification of reality at the very least not to say its plainly wrong.

    So, to correct your 'facts':
    - France didn't just sit and do nothing while being invaded. What they did was not very succesfull tho. Also that is no reason to claim that a majority of the population of Europe supported what happened to the jews, at best the majority did not actively oppose it.
    - Europe failed to intervene in Serbia, but that was not exactly because they thought it was ok. Followign that reasoning, I guess the USA thought it ok that milions were killed in Rwanda?

    It seems to me that you are unable to differentiate between facts and your personal interpretation of reasons.

    Last but not least, racism is an evil that is happening in many places, but not every ethnic conflict finds its cause in racism. It is easy to call racism whenever there is a conflict between 2 groups of people from a different race, but very often the underlying reasons have a lot more to do with religion and culture then with race. Not that those are good reasons for waging war, but when looking at why a problem exists, it is a good idea to not be blinded by a pre-determined explanation.

    Bottomline, you state both fact and opinion, while not in any way substantiating how you derive opinion from fact while also part of your facts are wrong.
