I think that's hugely unfair. Quicktime is not bloated at all. It consumes a mere 1.7 MB on my system - compare that to 37 MB for RealPlayer and 17 MB for MediaPlayer.
I often see people complaining about the use of compression, but I generally encode at 196Kbs, and that is almost always fine - even on a professional sound system where you would expect to be able to pick out any imperfections.
Sure, sometimes it fails. I did a 196 encoding of a Dvorak piece and when the singer hit the really high notes the vibrato sounded like a fire alarm. But that was only once.
It's like saying we need to stop putting rapists in jail, and instead make all women wear chastity belts. Or don't put muggers in jail, arm everybody instead.
Both of these examples interfer with normal operation - I don't want to have to make extra effort (I could be being creative in the time I have to spend on extra security) because hackers are at large.
The novel was so much more epic than the film - primarily because of technique constraints at the time (1967?). They could do some amazing stuff with the rocket at the end, and the cathedral bits.
Pitty York is far too old now - he was the best bit of the film.
Haven't they been doing this in Wales or Ireland or something a while ago? I remember a BBC radio news item about police stopping and checking people's cars (it's illegal, you see).
I wouldn't know - I can't see the icon because I have disabled images from slashdot to avoid adverts, and adverts and presentation images share the same server.
My little way to punish Taco for being so crap at his job.

My cat ate an ink catridge once - and the little retard kept on chewing as ink was suprting out of the other end. Of course he (white as snow) didn't get any ink on him - it was all over my bed.
He was banished from my room for a few hours for that, but he sat outside looking so depressed that I gave in.
You are not programming. You did not go to school to be in programming. Therefore, according to Programming, you don't know shite from shinola. It doesn't matter if you have a doctorate, have written for a major newspaper for 20 years, scored 300 on a standard IQ test, taught yourself French, Russian, and Spanish, or cut your teeth as a copy editor, you are an imbecile because you can't (or won't) program.

Is not voting really apathy? Why is not voting a valid statement?
At least they're not claiming some random American discovered it. "It was Benjamin Franklin I tell you!"

WTF are you on about? He doesn't want to make weapons licenses, just take some snaps of his building sites.
Why does what you are rambling about have any significance?

I don't think operating systems should be commenting on foreign policy.
Here y'all go, it's already been done in Wales (2002) (it wasn't illegal) and Tokyo (1998).

You think we should rewrite the entire contents of the Debian distribution in a new programming language?
"probably getting rid of stock for Apple. New higher capacity iPods on the way"
Hemos posted it. We assume he also looked at it and thought "yeah, nothing wrong with that", but like the moron he is, he probably just posted it.
How come you get to M1 _and_ M2?
He said getting rid of stock, you nincompoop, not stopping selling.
Has anybody seen Antitrust?

Wow! I'm eating a Bio-Pot brand yogurt right now! What a coincidence. It's strawberry, if anyone is interested.
"national ID card" : bad

"individuals speaking out freely where our representatives can see"
I doubt they read slashdot.
Why don't one of you whiners do something like stand for election youselves, instead of posting about it on Slashdot?
Why do you wacky American's call it a "cell" phone? What is "cellular" about it? I (British) call it a "mobile" phone - because sic.
