Media Player Classic is opensource, free, lightweight, efficient, fast, full of features, stable, runs natively on Windows, and can play every video format. The interface is graphical, yet minimalistic, so you save desktop space... if I still ran Windows, Media Player Classic would be the media player for me.
Right now I use MPlayer, which is second place compared to MPC... but MPC is Windows only, so...
Hikaru no Go is a great anime that you can find fansubbed for free on the net. Reading the synopsis, I would never have thought that I would actually enjoy an anime drama... but it is hands down the best anime I have seen since Cowboy Bebop or Lain. Maybe I am just getting tired of the mech-type anime stuff.
Well, at least with the whole Cisco thing, you could get around the protection with a simple proxy that looked kosher on one interface, yet let anything go on the other interface. The Cisco routers would then not be able to tell the difference.
I was addicted to that game when I was a kid! The physics were awesome, and you could easily spin out if you overturned, didn't use the transmission correctly, etc...
This would imply removing Saudi Arabia and Israel. The Saudi's keep their people down so that the royal family can benefit from oil sales. Israel keeps down the non-Jewish people of the area through a system of defacto and dejure aparthied.
We should try to lessen the amount of terrorism, and this is done through peace efforts and demanding more from our already sufficiently empowered FBI and CIA. They dropped the ball with 911. Furthermore, we should stop our imperialism and support for apartheid in the middle east.
Sure, there may still be terrorism, but compare the amount of terrorist attacks against Americans during Bush's reign and during Clinton's. Compare the multitude and magnitude of terrorist attacks against Israel during Sharon's reign and during Barak's. Both Bush's and Sharon's reigns have resulted in more terrorist attacks than their respective predecessors' reigns.
If your solution is to be a tough guy using violent retaliation, and you do not address the source of the terrorist's motivation, then you will lose. If a terrorist blows up a building and claims that 1+1=2... it doesn't make that statement any less of a fact.
So if these terrorists claim that they hate us because of our imperialism (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc) and because of our support for aparthied (Israel), we can't just ignore the facts just because the messenger is a terrorist.
I am not saying that we should allow Israel to be destroyed, and I am not saying that we should stop trading with the middle east. However, it is a fact that we have and continue to do bad things to the middle east which serve to motivate some of its members to become terrorists and attack us.
The only way that you suggested violent retaliation would work is if we implement comprehensive ethnic cleansing in the middle east and parts of the far east. Such a solution would make us no better than the worst terrorist.
Oh great. Like that won't further inflame a fanatical region of the planet. This will just create more terrorism! Why? Because people don't like being played like a board game.
Groklaw, Slashdot, Tanenbaum, and others involved should get together and write a book titled "Linux X-Files", which covers conspiracies against Linux. With the popularity of SCO, Microsoft, and Brown articles... I bet you could sell thousands of copies of said book.
Why do people think that mathematicians are somehow different from normal people (other than being good at math)? I can give you lists of mathematicians that were not crazy. Some maths are gay (Turing), some are schizo (Nash), some are adulterers (Hilbert), some are anti-semitic (Frege), some are semitic (Cantor), some are hypochondriac (Godel), some are boring, some are greedy, etc...
But then again, these things apply to non-mathematicians. Yes some mathematicians were/are crazy, but most are not. So please, even though pop-culture tells you something, think for yourself and don't over-generalize.
In the meantime, the USA's main duty is to organize as many butt pyramids as possible, in addition to allowing Bush to spend more tax payer dollars on glow sticks for some good old-fasioned forced sodomy.
The major milestone of the process is on 6/30, when 100 Iraqi men will be piled into one large butt pyramid and each one simulatenously sodomized with red, white, and blue glow sticks. This will all be done in an effort to "blow some steam off" since everyone has gotten so uptight since the start of the war - everyone just needs a good "emotional release".
If that is a weapon which is supposed to threaten the USA... I am sorry, I just can't swallow that much BS.

Fedora Core 2 Review
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Explain how you would update a Slackware Linux system that has hundreds of packages installed. From my understanding of Slackware, you would have to track the versions of each piece of software installed as well as the current version of the software. Updating then requires taking this list of possible hundreds of packages, download the binaries or source, and possibly delete some old files, copy the new files, and also possibly compile new source... BUT ALL FOR HUNDREDS OF PACKAGES?!?!
Is there any automation to package management in Slackware? Isn't a computer's main job to automate tasks?
Windows suffers a similar problem. There is no central utility for managing installed software. Windows update covers some stuff, but what about that security hole in Winamp? What about that bug in Office? Yes you can manually track Winamp and manually install new versions, and yes you can pay money for new versions of Office and manually install these new versions after manually uninstalling the old... but there is no automation.
On the other hand you have systems like Debian, Gentoo, Fedora with Apt, etc... where the entire package management system is controlled via a central utility that automates management.
FreshRPMS provides a quality APT repository for Redhat and Fedora distros. Their FC2 starter RPM isn't available yet, but when it is, you can simply install the RPM and a working apt system is setup configured to use FreshRPMs as the main repository. As was the case with Redhat 9 and Fedora Core 1, FreshRPMs will have quality multimedia packages. Since you want a user-friendly experience, after installing the starter apt RPM, type "apt-get update" and then "apt-get install synaptic". After that you can install, remove, and update software through Synaptic, which is a relatively user-friendly GUI.
Then you can search for codecs, video players, audio players, etc... and install the search results you like by clicking on them and flagging them to be installed. Once you have flagged everything you want... just click the "proceed" button and everything is downloaded, installed, and configured in the proper order.
BAM! You have multimedia. If you were hunting around for weeks, then you aren't a very good hunter.
I know this from experience. About a year ago I dropped Windows, and went 100% Linux on the desktop. I quickly learned about FreshRPMs and soon there after, I had a quality mplayer install for my video needs, and I had all of the mp3, etc... plugins installed for XMMS.
FreshRPMs is a quality free service. You would be a fool to not use FreshRPMs, if you are using Fedora as your desktop. I have used other apt repositories for Fedora, and none of them have the quality and quantity of packages as FreshRPMs has.
Of course, Debian is still the best when it comes to quality and quantity repositories... but we are talking about Fedora here, not Debian:)

XVID 1.0 Released

You must be blind. Check out animesuki.com, where most releases are in XVID format.
Fansubbing has really benefitted from Bittorrent. I think that a really great Animesuki feature would be to make it possible to "subscribe" to various series. This would involve some release event notification mechanism that would automatically trigger your bittorrent client to download a newly released episode. Taking this idea further, you could have a TiVo-like bittorrent based app that even went as far as to make subscription suggestions based on your viewing habits.
Ontop of that, it would be nice if a site like AnimeSuki included reviews, synopsis, and popularity ranks for each anime series.
There is allot of great fansubbed anime out there, but its hard to find something that matches your tastes. Hikaru no Go is by far one of my all time favorite animes, and its fansubbed!
My current favorite is Naruto... yeah, I am having trouble branching out into other series:(
Yup, never seen anything above calculus, just things such as metamathematics, category theory, and hyper set theory. According to intuitionism, 1+1=2 is a self-evident fact.

Yes, but Bush says that since the Palestinians aren't mentioned in the bible... but then again, I thought that the Sameritans were palestinian... wait a second...
You need to read up about Skolem's paradox. I recommend the following texts: "From Frege to Godel" by Van Heijenoort, "Introduction to Metamathematics" by Kleene, and "Mathematical Logic" by Kleene. Also, Godel didn't hose everything. Incompleteness applies to a specific formalization of mathematics... one that was already chastised for being flawed - LEJ Brouwer had been arguing that axiomatic classical mathematics was flawed... and not really mathematics.
