IIRC, somewhere between 2.09 and 2.91, WinAmp stopped including track lengths when you used "Generate HTML playlist", presumably because track length estimation was nontrivial on certain MP3s with borked VBR headers, etc.
Fun project for tonight - try this exploit on the really old stuff..MOD is certainly old enough that in_mod.dll might still be in the plugin directory of the old versions.
Shameless plug for oldversion.com - makes it easy enough to test the 'sploit against any version you like.
> It's time we stopped letting the government "users" play the "producers" against one another. The "producers" need to politely, but firmly, demand the "users" start at least pulling their own weight whenever they can.
There's another option. Shrug.
The day I have enough assets to take care of myself for 80% of my (roll the actuarial dice) estimated life span, I walk off the job and become a moocher.
Eventually, the government will run out of producers to tax. When that happens, I say "let the chips fall where they may."
> Giving money to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to adolescents.
Untrue. Adolescents equipped with whiskey and car keys are an example of a self-limiting phenomenon. Congressmen and taxpayer dollars are not subject to the same sort of evolutionary pressures.
> When the only tool you own is a 580-tonne Tunnel Boring Machine, dude, you have no problems.
When the only tool you own is a 580-tonne Tunnel Boring Machine, every problem that doesn't involve large-scale excavation certainly becomes a lot more interesting.

Last thing I saw on Slashdot.org/683703/live was a car crash, the cops showing up, and a club. Then things went blank. You'll have to take my word for it, because that page is 404 today. Don't know why.

Now that lawyers are jumpin'

Insider trades, all the sales I'm makin'

Burning them - if they're not quick and nimble
I go crazy when I see the symbol
of my high stock - S-C-O-X tempo,
I'm on a roll, it's time to go solo
(Rollin!) In shareholder dough,
Press releasin' now, up my stock will go,
Pamela's on standby, tryin' just to ask "why"?
(Did you stop?) No! I just drove by,
Kept on - I'm filin' to the next suit,
Judge busts me down, so I gotta try a new truth, -
That truth was dead, yo, so I continued to,

Ever consider saving some money while you do have a job, and investing those savings?
How, precisely, do you expect to survive during your retirement 20-30 years from now?
You're either hoping for a nanotech revolution that will provide free food and shelter for everyone (in which case, I hope it pays off for you, because everyone wins if the species gets lucky!), or you're hoping that you'll be able to vote someone into power who will take my food so that you can eat (in which case, fuck you, I hope you fail, but if you succeed, I hope that everyone with capital flees your country, and I hope you and your family starves to death as a result.)

Prediction: Later it will be "Regulatory costs here make it not worth our while to stay." Sorta how a bunch of people said "To hell with this crap" and left Europe to come to New World? Why, you could... found a brand new country like that. Sounds pretty civic to me.

What's outside the hosue is as boring as the Sims, but it's even slower, the speed-up key can only be used once a day, and it only works at night,
when you're at home trying to game, rather than you just pushing fast-forward during the day when nobody's home!
