Ubuntu Reaching Out To 16,000 Anime Lovers

shadowmage13 writes "After months of planning, I am happy to announce finally that the Ubuntu Massachusetts Local Community Team will be preparing a booth at the upcoming 2010 Anime Boston convention. We need support from the community to secure a booth and print materials, including copies of the Ubunchu! manga. I really believe the Anime fandom is a perfect match for Ubuntu, as they are by nature very much in line with open source and remix culture."

    The reason for the Idle category is so crap like this can be put there, and I can block it.

    I generally prefer Zoomplayer and MPC-HC to stuff like VLC

    See, here's your problem. You're comparing competent players to an incompetent player. One that in particular has terrible support for ASS, by far the most popular subtitle format for fansubs. Try mplayer (or a GUI frontend if that's your thing) sometime.

    Now see, here's your problem: You're an arrogant asshole. I have TONS of video clips that mplayer won't play; vlc plays them all. From where I'm sitting, mplayer is the crap software.

    but a big issue is the lack of Blu Ray playing capability under Linux.

    For you, maybe. For most people it is a tiny, tiny issue though. And anyways, that's certainly not the case anyway.

    It's getting to be a bigger issue. People who watch on their PC would often like to take advantage of the additional resolution, so it's not just HDTV owners — nevertheless a growing segment.

    One day I will invent a time machine and go back in time and destroy anime before it was ever created.

    And you'll be born and grow up in a world where anime never existed... So why will you go back in time?
