  1. Re:Feature Creep in WiMP on New Windows Media Player Leaks · · Score: 0

    I use the "useless and ugly skins" a lot. I have nice tiny little semi-transparent skin that keeps WMP10 from being obtrusive (it's as good or better than anything I've seen for any other player). WMP10 also has great support for syncing with my Zen Microphoto. It's easy, just drag and drop. WMP11 will include photo support (I use Picasa, but some peopel don't so they'll appreciate having that option). WMP11 will be able to search huge music archives instantaneously... a big plus for people who have over 200GBs of music (WMP6 would die under this load, WMP10 can't even handle it effectively).

    WMP10 is a good product, and if WMP11 delivers on the promises MS has made (at least the speedy search) then it's a really good product.

  2. Re:Who is their intended audience? on New Windows Media Player Leaks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you'd have read the screenshot descriptions (here & here) you'd notice that you can search instantly by keyword/title. I'm very excited about this new WMP. MS says (we'll see if they can deliver) that they've improved it so it can handle large collections. The current WMP can't handle my 10,000+ music archives well, so instantaneous search across 30,000+ songs is pretty exciting stuff.

    AHHH!!! What have we done!? I blame Bush and the American obsession with fast cars. Each time we peel out a light we slow the Earth just a little bit more.

    about my long lost uncle who used to work for the oil companies in central Africa. He apparently left me $5 million and all I need to do is contact his Nigerian legal representation.

    I like it in the can... but I had some on draft the other day and could barely finish it. Maybe I just had a bad glass. I thought you poor college kids like PBR... or is that just for the hipsters.

    In truth I'm really just trying to poke fun on High Life, not Open Source.

  22. Re:I thought it was invented by on Wal-Mart Trying to Trademark the Smiley Face · · Score: 2, Interesting

    True, but if Walmart's point is to defend their right to use what has been considered to be in the public domain then losing their trademark officially to the public domain would be ok. The worst case scenario for them, is to lose their smiley face to this guy's trademark. This is a defensive move, not an offensive move.

  25. Re:Oblivion, you say, Mr. Ballmer? on FreeBSD 6.1 Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't have a problem w/ Open Source. It will thrive. I run Fedora on my desktop and Smoothwall on my firewall at home. Both products are great and will continue to grow.

    Gentoo, a single Linux distribution, is absolutely following BSD down the path to oblivion. Why else would Daniel Robbins leave a project he started? You should never allow good money or time to follow bad. Daniel cut his loses and left. He was smart. I have no idea when the rest of the Gentoo user community is going to realize that Gentoo, like BSD, and DOS 6.0, and CP/M, is walking down the wide road to hobbiest oblivion. Say hi to the Amiga guys for me.
