    Anyone advocating the use of these spy laptops are two things:

    Moron, you switched to Linux to use a piece of shit media player that didn't ship with support for MP3 out the box and immature sound drivers when .. da da daaaa.. you could have just switched to WinAMP like everyone else in '98.

    Don't tell me you didn't notice the resemblance between WinAMP and that piece of shit who's name I forgot that shipped with most "distros" back then.

    A REAL Windows hater switched to compile his own code.
