Oh well, it's no use. Nobody will read this message.
Well, I did. Sorry I don't moderate. Also feel sorry for the guy who "joked" and the people who went out of their way to explain the situation. Ah well, it's a thankless world.
I have patented the very "method" of patent. So from now on, you'll be unable to patent anything until you pay me the goodies. Yeah, I am also planning to sue all those idijots who have patented stuff before me using my patent "method".
But mplayer2 doesn't have features like brightness, hue, contrast for videos etc. I just want a basic player with features, simple usability. Eye candy I don't care for.
HMM... as if script kiddies don't have it easy enough, lets put a link to a 'crash' script on the front page of slashdot... Do the editors on slashdot ever think before they post links?
Does anyone at Microsoft think before they release buggy software which compromises security of thousands of systems? Why shoot the messenger? It's well documented that M$ only acts when the popular media starts whining.
My message to all those "moral grandstanders" is to lay off. Alternatively, fuck off. There are many reasons to criticize/. editors. This isn't one of them.
I have got version 7 or something and the thing is a resource hogger and a nuisance. Why can't one have a simple yet feature-ful media player. Not everyone needs those stupid eye candy skins and what not.
Agreed that I am on a 600 Mhz P3 with 128 MB RAM but still. OK, rant over.
To be very honest....Opera is fast but fast only by "other than IE" standards. Between Opera and IE, it's a tie on my system. But I use IE even though Opera gives more features.
To see the OSS browsers like Opera and Mozilla take the fight to Micr0$oft.
The only problem is that Mozilla still requires a dual processor server to run at any reasonable pace. It's just too sluggish compared to IE. However, I am in no doubt that soon Mozilla will be better than IE. Infact, it already leads IE as far as features are concerned. Now, let's hurry to download:-)
Besides, I'm not sure whether we can install software of uour choice. It would be easy for Federal agencies to cite "terrorism" and mandate some universal monitoring software for all libraries. This looks bleak.

SGI sucks.
But it seems to have been "affected" by the Kashmir effect.
No they don't.

Nuff said.
Genuinely funny comment. Thanks mikeplokta for making me laugh!
I still can't beleive those idiots were fooling with liquid nitrogen without gloves!!
M. Schumacher drove him to retirement! Hee-hee!

Yup. Software crashes. Hardware just burns. Crash and burn ;-)

Why is this post modded as a Flamebait? Offtopic, maybe.

Come on, spend some money and get a sat link. Yeah, not so fast but you'll still get your kazaa pr0n fix.....
Already slashdotted!
