  2. Re:Is there some other Mozilla out there on Mopping Up Mozilla Memory Leaks · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is, dissent is not allowed in the People's Republic of Open Source.

    Hey, I like Mozilla, but it's ugly as sin -- personally, I like OmniWeb. Its speed is merely ok (but getting better) but the text rendering, ooh, the text rendering.

  3. Re:Hmm... Too bad Quicktime isn't open source. on Darwin Streaming Server Beats Real, Windows Media · · Score: 3, Insightful


    I'm already sick of hearing about "Tarkin" -- Not only does it have a stupider name than Ogg Vorbis (and that's saying something) but it doesn't even *exist* yet.

    How could there possibly be Tarkin support when it's completely a made up meme at this point?

    Dear Patrick Bateman,

    I'd expect that kind of idiot, racist comment from someone who enjoys Whitney Houston, Phil Collins and Huey Lewis & the News.

    Dear "eDrugTrader",

    You had to wait for 2 minutes? OHMYGOD. If you need someone to hold your hand while you come to grips with this, I'm here. I'm here.

  7. they tried to kill him with a forklift on Escape Velocity Nova goes GM · · Score: 1


    I was sad to see he has taken out the MST3K-referenced "forklift":

    removed forklift cheat and secret about text (to be replaced by something more interesting at a later date)

    but I'm looking forward to seeing what else has been put in. Can't wait!

    There are currently 2,000 Mandrake Club members. If they can get 8,000 more, they're fine.

  14. Re:I wonder why? on Windows Media Player in Linux · · Score: 1


    As much as it pains me to say, Windows Media Player's video quality at high bitrates on MacOS X is really quite good.

    The MacOS X version is far better software than the version of WiMP Microsoft released for MacOS 9, anyhow.

    Also, Adult Swim is not purely an anime block. It's filled with some anime shows as well as some American shows.

    Home Movies and Sealab 2021 in particular crack me up. Check them out, they grow on you.

  19. Oh Good. on Do You Like Your Job? · · Score: 1

    It's yet another chance for 33% of slashdot readers to brag about their awesome jobs and Aeron chairs, while 33% will post lamely Dilbert©-derived tripe about their not-so-awesome jobs and how management Just Doesn't Get It(TM), while the other remaining 34% will simply complain about not having a job to complain about.

  20. babelfish translation on PressPlay and MusicNet vs. Artists · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    gilroy writes: "According to a New York Times article (free registration, yadda yadda), despite taking the moral high ground (that they want to see artists compensated, as opposed to all those evil downloaders), the record companies have actually set up pay schedules so as to -- wait for it -- rip off the artists who record the music. Some figure they will earn less than $0.0023 per download -- yes, that's hundredths of a penny. Best quote from the article: 'For many acts, suddenly there appears to be little difference between the illicit file-sharing system and record-label services.' Good to see they're fighting for the artists, isn't this?"
