    Thanks, thanks, thanks to the VideoLAN team. Just tried the 1.0.0 version. It works great.

    Thanks for freeing me from the media player craziness of Windows XP.

    "Wait, Michael and Janet were actually two different people??"

    I believe you are thinking LaToya.

    As for Diana Ross, has anyone noticed that Michael Jackson's physical transformations began right after he was in "The Wiz" with her? Coincidence? I think not (or at least my wife doesn't - personally I couldn't give a rat's ass.)

    Wow. Wanna know how you call the moderation on parent comment?

    Reverse discrimination!

    I stated a simple fact: Not everyone is deaf. Only a small group is. So by physical definition, there are less people caring for that feature. Which again, by definition, makes it less relevant.
    So stop hiding behind your hypocritical political correctness, because all you did was discriminate against every non-deaf person, in favor of the deaf. Which is just as bad as the reverse.
    Note again, that I was not the one discriminating here.

    Man, people are so STUPID, when it comes to thinking for themselves!

    No, La Toya was Michael, Janet was NippleGate.
