The baseless "hate" against Real Player as they are clean for years gives those MS bribed officials ideas of WMP only streaming etc.
shut it macboy, the hate against realplayer is because it bombards you with ads and writes itself to your start up services (on windows machines) and is generally an anoying piece of crap.
Funny that you mention you wouldn't touch such a thing (Realplayer Linux) while it is the cleanest, best performing Real player on the internet which you can actually build right away from source (Helix Community).
There is realplayer for linux, but last time i used it it was just as bad as the windows version. As for the helix player is an open source player that last time i checked could NOT support realplayer.
They think "Oh they hate Real anyway" as someone will of course question the choice of WMP while Real is available to anything you can imagine.
thus proving that the BBC did support everything by streaming in realplayer. The truth is tho that WMA is much better supported on most OSes than realplayer.
They gave up perfectly working real/embedded for Flash/download and act like streaming.
Nope the as of 14:57GMT realmedia is still alive at the BBC for all radio streams. the choice of flash only for tv streams is disappointing but given the success of flash vs alternative video formats on the web i cant really hate them for it, i just hope that the download option for mac/linux comes sooner rather than later.
what do they mean by irretrievable: destroying the filesystem table? (easy to get the data back) writing all bits to zero? (still retrievable) writing over all bits with (psuedo-)random data? (aparaently this can be retrieved) writing over all bits repeatedly?
the bbc do a lot of live sessions, and quite a few of them produce original content (hell bbc leeds & reading site has a clip of biffy clyro doing an acoustic cover of killing in the name of atm) im hoping this sort is the stuff that will be for sale, and its not just another music store.
... radio was available via WMP or *shudder* Realplayer.
But the tech which "supports" Mac and Linux now is what they'd have done anyway if they only supported Windows.
Realplayer has always supported mac and as both wmp and realplayer have fairly widely used codecs getting either to play under linux has never been a problem (realmedia may even be avalible on linux (not that id touch the thing)
as for the current iplayer, as a linux user and a British citizen i realize that they have other priorities but i am happy to use the flash or script versions until work on the mac & linux versions is complete.

P.s this and all slashdot posts are held under a vitually identical EULA.
I run Linux you insensitive clod. but seriously why not open source it? *Its so old their competitors arnt going to use the code to beat them *It allows ports to other systems *It could be used in other open source games (like ufo:ai uses quake2) *It removes any need to support it
But *They lose control *An open source competitor could draw users away (unlikely) *They have to clean up the code (no real need?) *They don't own the code (does this apply to their own game?)
I realize i have a bias but with games this old (see also GTA1&2) when giving them away for free why not give us the code so we can still play them?(real question not rhetorical)
lets not forget that in any group people exaggerated a lot.
proof: 'they were going to throw urine mole:"hey where do i piss?" person:"use that bucket over there" mole:"huh?" person:"yeah were going to throw it a bush" *laughter*
reality: they dont have a toilet
proof: 'they were planing to assasinate bush with bows and arrows' mole:"nice bows and arrows" person 1:"thanks, some of us are going to dress as native americas" person 2:"yeah, and then were gunna fire them at bush"
I mean those guys that were going to 'assassinate Obama' turned out to just be high and talking shit.
So, the last time I put one of my rifles into my car to take it up to the farm to plink, I was preparing for first-degree murder? How odd - I could have sworn I was just going up to target shoot.
thats fine, but when your already on a watchlist and taking your rifles to somewhere you'd get the opportunity to kill somebody you dislikes its different. Of course neither of us no the specifics , but id guess that the police don't have enough time to check everybody in Denver so they must of had a reason to check the guy they did catch.
Note also that buckets of urine doesn't equate very well with "peaceful" protest.
NO it equates to a lack of a working toilet
it happens at the DNC (yes, the "friends of the people" do their best to keep the riffraff at arms' length during their convention too.
funny because obama staffers went out and dealt with the main protest outside the conference, thats not really keeping them at arms length.
I think you need to prove slightly more than that. 1) they were going to take the weapons to the riot 2) they were going to use the firearms to break laws
or a combination of 1 & 2 atm all you have is a) they had weapons b) they were going to a protest
I live in London (lots of knife crime around here), i have knives in my house and i go to protests, does that mean the police should raid my house to stop me using my knives at a protests, because that royally fucks my plans for dinner.
Right. Instead of blaming the Republicans, these widespread police state tactics should be blamed on whatever fuckwit party is currently running the country.
The fact this sort of shit is not entirely the republican parties fault, but the fact their party has been in control while police ignore peoples rights again (LA riots under bush were indicative of widespread police doing exactly the same shit) and the FBI may have been involved in this fuck up is no coincidence.
Was that not the blatant plan? 1) Hillary fails to sell Obama to her supporters (how hard would it have been to say "i did some silly things when i thought i was the best candidate, but now i realise...") 2) McCain suddenly announces a female VP who he barely knows.
had hillary sold obama to her supporters (or just been less of a bitch in her campaign trail) then there is no way McCain would have gone with palin.
how would verizon change what the hardware/firmware support. apart from getting moded informative for being a shot at verizon i doubt a network could change how the phone behaves when plugged into your pc.
Also if a phone doesn't support a function when plugged into a pc how is it going to support it when plugged into a piece of hardware with only a subset of the abilities a pc has

FFS dont upload the pictures then.
cant the mac version of wine support picasa?
because its still up to you to upload the pictures to picasaweb if you choose, now STFU with all the google hating FUD
FUD FUD FUD. please show the line of code that calls home when you browse a page that isnt Google (or has Google analytics)
crtl+y opens the download tab, its not rocket science.

so unacceptable that you happily post under an almost identical license to complain about it.

For God's sake, this is a wang joke waiting to happen. Won't somebody stand up?
fixed
The day i can use wikipedias own search instead of having to google to find stuff inside wikipedia, ill think about it

so what your trying to say is its all bush's fault?
I think it was put best above.
Right. Instead of blaming the Republicans, these widespread police state tactics should be blamed on whatever fuckwit party is currently running the country.
The fact this sort of shit is not entirely the republican parties fault, but the fact their party has been in control while police ignore peoples rights again (LA riots under bush were indicative of widespread police doing exactly the same shit) and the FBI may have been involved in this fuck up is no coincidence.
comin' straight from the underground
for slashdot that's your mum's basement, but hell thats underground. right?
Was that not the blatant plan?
1) Hillary fails to sell Obama to her supporters (how hard would it have been to say "i did some silly things when i thought i was the best candidate, but now i realise...")
2) McCain suddenly announces a female VP who he barely knows.

and WTF where you doing watching Fox 'News' may i ask?
