I still use Gchat because Google Voice integrates into it quite well, i can easily make calls, screen incoming,and manage contacts all in one place. It also has a nice and simple low resource usage chat feature,
I really hope they change their mind or at least provide the same functions for voice in Hangouts. (last time I checked, 3 weeks ago, they didn't).
ESSENTIAL FLASH CONTENT is ohhhh.. lets say.. its YouTube (or other embedded video sites) on Win XP where Mozilla still refuses to add PROPER h.264 / mp4 HTML video support.
I've always found foobar2000's sound harsh and hard to listen too when playing mp3 and flacs.. also not a fan of its interface.. IMO its a bit too much for something as simple as a media player.
I've been using WinAmp since 1999ish and have yet had any issues with it (even on my daily icecast radio stream playlist of just under 38,000 entries) it just works and unlike many newer media players, I can select the output device I want.
I really hope this sale doesn't ruin what's left of WinAmp. It would a truly sad day.
I've got a one step solution to all of this:
1. Stop giving a fuck until these morons grow up and actually have a real issue to present.
Although I agree with every word that you've said, would you not agree that there might be some objection to the following file extensions: .jew for racial profiling data .old for genealogy data .ass for anatomical data
The fact is that there does exist a border where some three letter combinations are seen as having meaning, that is the whole purpose that letters were invented in the first place. The question is _where_ is the line drawn. You and I agree that.bro has not yet reached it, but clearly we are getting closer and closer.
.ass is already taken.. The.ass file extension is used for a special movie subtitle format called Aegisub Advanced Substation.
But whatever.. they can cave to extremists or not.. I don't even care.bro
I sure hope so.
I too have at 2 must have mandatory inclusions to Firefox, no script and firebug. Then there is a couple nice to have such as the YT center plugin that "fixes" the ads, on-demand or as needed loading, etc. and some media plugins (Google talk, VLC, QT, etc.) that helps with embedded media on this old xp machine.
Just what I've always wanted.. forced 360p LQ video of my fav gaming content makers. GREAT!
Also, if they are only allowing high subscribed channels in to this then its not cool or useful and seems motr like another way to monetize other's content.

Apparently I must have played right through all this mess.. I never even noticed it until afterwards... and I know a few guys who run gaming websites and they have said nothing.
They need to go after that Roy dude and his, "HELLO!!! Are your carpets dirty?" robo-calls as well.. he never gives up.
Not getting any "Rachel from Cardholder Services" calls here lately..
This is a patch to IE, not XP. IE is not EOLed. They have committed to fixing bugs in IE. It just so happens that the easiest way to patch IE is via Windows Update. This is a non-story that's being treated as though they actually patched a security bug in XP.
EXACTLY.
How everyone is making this an XP EOL thing is very annoying and totally wrong. The patch is for IE and, as it should be, system independent. I know that for my XP install (yes still use XP as MS doesn't provide proper upgrade paths.. [that's a whole 'nother story]) IE is treated as a separate application from the OS, same as Firefox or Chrome.
"To upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows Vista or Windows XP, you'll need to install it from a Windows 8.1 DVD and perform a clean installation. This means you won't be able to keep any files, settings, or programs when you upgrade. "
No thanks.
Second, I can't upgrade. Microsoft dropped the ability to upgrade an XP install to Win7, retaining all the installed software, settings and the like. That makes an upgrade hellishly complex, since I've got to dig out all the old install media, product keys and such and spend hours reinstalling everything. I've got to save data, write down settings, and remember all the stuff I need to make note of or save. And after the upgrade I have the headaches of finding all the things I didn't remember to save and have to dig up or recreate. It's about a week of work per PC to get everything dealt with and settled and working smoothly again. I do not want to go through that if I don't have to.
ditto.
No proper upgrade path.
I'll still be on xp for the foreseeable future.
I RTFA (yeah I know) and checked out the service.. there was a comparison site so I entered one of my web site's URL. Waited as the test ran and it turns out my site direct is 4.6% FASTER then the optimized Google proxy.
Go figure.

Please stop. PLEASE

Apparently the EU has access to way better mind-altering drugs than we here in the USA do..
IIRC SubStatiun Alpha also uses the .ASS extension.. or can use it.

Hasn't your XP converted to Microsoft Update?
If you have other MS products (i.e. MS Office) you'll want the updates for them won't you?

I'd be very disappointed if it wasn't patched.
Let's update that to 2014..

Just maybe this will have a wonderful side effect of slowing down or even stopping automated comment link spam..
..well one can hope anyway.
