VLC 0.9.9, The Best Media Player Just Got Better
Matt Asay points out a recent update to VLC as they narrow in on a 1.0 release. Already a favorite of many, the open source project has made great strides in recent history towards really solidifying the position as best-in-class. This update, 0.9.9, fixes several display bugs and sees some definite performance improvements. "If you've yet to try VLC, do so. Whether you just want to play media files or also want to convert them, VLC can handle just about anything you throw at it. When all other media players fail, whether on Windows, Linux, or the Mac, VLC will almost always deliver. You can download VLC media player 0.9.9 here. It's open source, but that's not why you'll want to keep using it. You'll use it because it's better than its proprietary peers — by a long stretch.
Belgian "beers" are sacrilege for pretentious fruitcakes. Bavarians for the win.
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
You're right, there's no need to discuess when the choice is given. Belgian of course. Who would settle for german beer when a good belgian is at hand?
it's kind of like arguing about whether you should drink Czech beer or Polish beer compared to drinking American beer.
There, fixed that for ya!
most of what follows is true
Just like the media players the different beers have their use depending on what you are looking for. You want sweet, strong, refined beer you go Belgian. You want a clean, delicious, infinitely drinkable dunkel, you go German. You want a kick ass pilsner you go Czech.
Both VLC and mplayer are so insanely good, so much better than any alternatives, that it's kind of like arguing about whether you should drink belgian beer or german beer compared to drinking raw sewage.
Clearly hasn't done his research. Beer in the United States is almost always pasteurized.
