Neowin interviews Ben Goodger, Justin Frankel
mr_tommy writes "Neowin has had the pleasure of talking to two prominent figures in the I.T. world. First, Ben Goodger, chief developer of the excellent browser Firefox, and secondly, Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and many other products for Nullsoft. We've got Ben talking about Firefox, XUL, and the future at Mozilla; equally, Justin talks (humorously) about his past, Winamp, AOL, music, and what he's up to at the moment. Also, read on for some of his projects he thought about doing when he left Winamp, including setting up an interesting alternative to Windows 2000 based on Open Source software, similar to ReactOS."
come ON people, wake up
I thought he died at the end of the movie
smacking babies at they Christening. . .
"Professor Shatz, how much did I shat today?"
So now you won't just know how much llama ass Winamp whoops, but also what came out of that ass.
I'll post this one a href="http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=109118&c id=9270617"> last time sos people can learn from my bad luck. If you're sick of it i apologize, but folk have to know. I changed it a bit so even if you've read before, you might want another look.
Anyway, I'm a semi-regular slashdot reader, and I get mod points quite a lot. Monday was a pretty normal day for me in the IT department where I've worked for 2 years now. I'd finished my work, and am about to head to lunch when I cruise by Slashdot to see what stuff that matters there is, and I see I have mod points, right?
So I set my threshold to -1(cause a good mod looks at it all, sometimes good stuff is dfown there), and go into a newish article, and start modding. I see a couple of stuff that ain't funny and mod that. I see a couple of funny gags about clippy so I mod them up. My boss comes in half way through, so I stop what I'm doing and turn round and talk to him. After a few moments, I can see he's looking at the screen.
Now I hadn't really paid attention to where it was pointing, and it turns out it was on one of those GNAA posts. My boss asks me straight out, what the hells that, or something. I try to explain but he's not satisfied, he reads the word nigger and gay, and he's very dubious of me. He bumps it up to his superior. The next day, I'm sitting in a confrence room speaking to 3 senior boss's trying to explain how come I was viewing a race hate crime website in my work time. I say to them it was my lunchh break which they say is ok then i try to explain Slashdot's like the wild west, at a low level you get all sorts of crazy shit. I'm sweating like mad at this point.
To cut the long short, by today Thursday, I'm out of a f*cking job. My boss thinks I was posting or reading that shit, and now I've got to find something else in this sh*tty job market. What the f am I going to put on my resume about my last job? I get no fucking refrence at all for 2 years work. My f*cking life has been totally ruined by these crapflooding bastards.

Of course. Another machine by Jay Miner and as usual the sound chip was really undocumented.
I remember I was almost shocked when I see a friend sampling sound with joystick port, only 10 or 20 lines of 6502 assembly.
Maybe that pushed him into sound and assembly?
I even remember the chips name, POKEY. One of the chips in computer history never got used in its all power.

I swear I had to read the headline three times before I could read Ben's name correctly.
All that came up was "badger". That joke has gone too far.
Sorry Ben! Love the browser you work on though.
Yes!
