This amazes me. I hadn't tried either of these (mplayer or xine) for a year or more. Last week my girlfriend and I were surfing porn, and because she's so ignorant about these thing, she wanted to download some movies. They were WMPs, and I told her we probably couldn't play them, but that I'd try anyway. I tried mplayer first, because slashdot is always raving about it, and it handled the WMPs, so we went surfing for everything we could find -- I must've had six or more formats downloaded by the time we finished. I was amazed by mplayer, and Goy took me upstairs to practice what we had seen. Surfing porn makes her so horny.
Anyway, two days later, I decided to let Goy look at the files again. I was in the lab, and it has only xterms with no xv extension, so I tried all the movies with xine. It's a little painful with a 10Mb/s network card, but they all worked, just as mplayer did. Goy pulled my pants down and started on me right there.
God Bless Mplayer and Xine!
True story, not inflammatory rhetoric
Mod me as you will...
I officially object to the offtopic mods for my above story. It was directly relavent to the story at hand. At least be sensible and mark me overrated because it wasn't a good story or flamebait for the use of sex in the comment. Definitely not offtopic, though. Read my jounal for lots of (true) stories like that one!
Sure--- add this to your apt repository:
girl-src girl://girl.co.th release sexy uninhibited
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and you should be set.
For rpms, you may need to install apt-rpm first. It's a great program.
Do you swing? If you come to Thailand, bring your goat by and we'll have a party...
Anyway, I was being one hundred percent serious about them amazing me, and was going for an interesting anectdote, not something funny.
You should grab the package from LinuxTLE. If you are on RH8.0, it should drop in without a problem. It's produced and distributed by the Thai gov't, and comes precompiled with everything they can put in there. Add this line to your apt repositories if you're using apt-rpm.

I don't know... I've heard that 4.0 was due "in two weeks" from a noted developer of a popular OSS project for over a year now. It's been so long that it has become a running joke. We're finally to 4.0 beta now, though, so maybe in two weeks or so...
BTW, Jammin' Jim, this is all tongue in cheek, you know.
I apologize for repeating some of what this post said, but I refreshed right before writing my post, and still saw nothing but mentions of the women in the photos. You may safely mod me redundant now...
File format
We will switch to the OASIS (OpenOffice.org) file format for all the major applications. This has many advantages:
file format shared with the OpenOffice.org suite, we don't have to reinvent the wheel
we'll be able to drop our OOo import filters and use the export filters as a compatibility layer for older KOffice versions documents
we can actively participate in the standard file format creation in the the case of Kexi and Kugar which are applications that don't currently exist in OOo
I can't believe how awesome this is. As they say, koffice users can now swap files with OO.o users on Windows. I somehow wonder how they will get the frame orinted approach in koffice to save well in the OpenOffice format, but I am all for the interoperability this will offer.
It's a shame that you got a 0, redundant for your post timed the same minute as the 4,funny above with the exact same quote. Sometimes life just ain't fair
I'm sorry, but Slashdot is by and far a *nix playground. Not everyone here is *nix, but the low user IDs are, almost exclusively. I have seen people tell Bruce Perens that he doesn't know what he's talking about when he's giving further details on an article about him.
I stand by my claim that (not only a lower) ID in the 1x,xxx is amazingly unlikely to be a noob at computers, *nix, bash, or even grep.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought or Watergate first. I skimmed the other posts and saw only yours. It kind of makes me feel old...
I can only hope that MS gets more punishment than a little backpedaling and a pardon, but I doubt it. Although, as my father likes to say, "Nixon was a good politician, and didn't do anything that other politicians don't do, he was just stupid enough to record it all on tape and then get caught."
:%s/Nixon/Microsoft/g:%s/politician/company/g
Microsoft need to really get nailed for this one, but I think withholding evidence doesn't carry the punishment it used to.
Are you replying to me? I didn't spout any "Libertarian Social Darwinist bullshit" about anything. I merely pointed out the truth, to which you agreed. Those jobs are gone from the US, and aren't coming back. Incidently, your use of "this country" obviously isn't the country I'm in, because, as I said in my original post, I live next to Thai-Mandarin Garment Factory, and the jobs are plentiful there.
The bottom line is that this has been happening for a long time now: steel, textiles, cars, really any manufacturing. Free trade helps the international corporations, but not the workers from any of the countries. The US was a service industry country for a couple of decades and people waxed poetic about how telecommuting would free everyone from the drudgery of office work: well, the telecommuting is farther than most imagined, and the offices will be closing soon.
Good news is, if you can compose a decent sentence, there are plenty of positions teaching English in Asia, where your previous job likely moved.
The corporations want to make more profit, and the way to do it is to get rid of expensive American workers and get cheap over-sea's labor.
By coincidence, I live a block from the Thai-Mandarin Garment Factory, where former US textile jobs have been for about twenty years. If you want a job, they're always hiring.
The starting salary is US$3.50 a day. Wake the fuck up and start doing something about it before we're all working at Wal-Mart or McDonald's.
Welcome to globalization. Hope you're ready to change professions like my American friends in the clothing industry did twenty years ago. The jobs don't move back to America. Trust me.
That was definitely not a troll. Falmebait, I can see, maybe even unfunny (if we had one), but it was no where near a troll. Wake up and read the mod guidelines.
Thailand formed the Ministry of ICT about a year ago, and one of the first decisions it made was to commit to 50% open source use in gov't within 3 years. They are promoting OS/FS with the sole intention of building their local IT talent.
Companies have begun to offer large prizes (4 years average programmer salary) for 3D games which run on Linux, and have fast tracked the certification of an "official" OS and office suite for the country, which have been developed by an arm of the gov't, NECTEC. My school will get free promotion from them when we open our OS/FS training courses next term.
The Thai goverment hopes to free itself from outside control. The national anthem says "None are allowed to oppress and destroy our independence." Thais are very proud of their colony-free heritage, and look at foreign software as part of that.
I don't take any stand on the issue of predetermination of gay/straight status, but I wonder where bisexuals fall in there. I certainly believe that, even if sexual orientation can be genetically determined, some people make the choice. To paint all gays with the wide brush that they were predetermined and had no choice in the matter is a little inflammatory. I intended to be as uninflammatory as possible in my original post, simply stating that there was valid debate still going on about this subject.
If you ever move out of the west and encounter a large number of bisexuals, actually outnumbering the gay / lesbian population, you may change your viewpoint.
The bottom line is that if the KKK were to do nothing more than exclude blacks, it would probably be legal if whites were in the minority. The Supreme Court has ruled against mojorities in cases like this in order to protect the minority, and such action is required in democratic states, where the majority could vote whatever they like.
In addition, should there be non-white organizations lead by blacks? Certainly there are and the US tolerates such behavior.
The predetermination of sexual orientation is an unresolved issue, with massive support for both sides, but no clear result, so I think a blanket statement such as your last sentence is unnecessary and inflammatory.
