That's a good option for playing videos. But what makes VLC VLC, and not just VC, is the LAN support. VLC can pretty easily be set up as a video server as well as a player. You can't do this with Mplayer.
If "freedom" is a desirable feature for certain users, they can certainly weigh that appropriately themselves.
You could say the same about any feature. Which is just another way of saying that these aggregate scores are pretty much meaningless. Which is true, but not really a useful observation.
What about shared libraries? Should those be duplicated everywhere?
The user installed package should use the system library if available, otherwise install a copy under ~.
What about differing versions of the same package? Should user X have the old version and user Y have the new version?
Each user should use whatever version they want.
What if the user installs it and the admin installs it? Should the user's package have higher precedence (PATH, MANPATH, etc.) or the system-wide package?
It's up to the user to set up the PATH the way they want it.
I've got to say, this is a huge feature that most package managers are missing. If I can download an archive, unpack it, and run it from ~, I should be able to install a package under ~ as well.
Either submitter has their double negatives mixed up, or I'm really confused here:
The majority based this decision on a federal case that deemed a cell phone not to be a 'closed container,' and terefore not searchable without a warrant
Does that mean that a "closed container" is searchable without a warrant? How can that be deemed reasonable?
Stallman believes that access to source code that the user can modifiy to meet his needs is a right. Denying that right is therefore illegitimate in the way denying any right is.

Gotta wonder if there's head bob.
Oh, I read that wrong, it's 7 graphics cards. Who makes such a motherboard?
Where do you get a motherboard that can accept 5 graphics cards?

Why do they need a special OS X build? Shouldn't it build the same way it does on any UNIX?
Wine has nothing to do with virtualization. It's a compatibility layer, nothing more.

Free has nothing to do with cost. It's free as in freedom, which is an important feature to many.

These aren't particularly hard questions.
If all the major distributions were sold at BestBuy and Joe Sixpack walked in and wanted to buy Linux, he'd have no idea which one to get.
If I walk into Best Buy and want to buy Windows 7, I'd have no idea which one to get.

You're right, it wasn't dumb. It was psychopathic.
Hunting is sentience now? That's just as well I guess, as there's not many carnivores we eat.
It sounds like he'd like to be able to waive the interest of Erik Anderson as well.
I don't understand. What does that story have to do with your willingness to eat octopus?
Can someone explain to me why the coconut was carrying an octopus?
Only if you get a square pizza.

Is Australia just now getting the Atari Jaguar?
I think it's more that PC games are becoming like their console counterparts. See Games For Windows, for example.
4. Console games become so dumbed down that anyone who actually likes games won't bother with them.
If only there were some sort of device you could place in your ears to dampen loud noises.

Thank god for KDE, XFCE, etc. Anyone who thinks multiple desktop environments are a waste of effort, this is exactly why we need them.
The only reason marijuana is illegal is that it helps politicians get reelected. That makes it political reasons.
