    Keep in mind this company was charitable enough to sponsor and open source project - something which probably never brought them much money.

    Reminds me of our Sr. & Faculty banquet in high school, where the teachers reminise about our class, and make fun of our futures. I was the school Liux guru, and the ignorant teachers were talking about me being an M$ exec someday! Ah, the horrors!!!

  13. The Swiss... on The World of Virus Writers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Keep in mind the Swiss have mandatory gun ownership, and have more guns per capita than the US, however gun related crime is extremely rare in Switzerland.

  21. Re:Damn, just installed 0.91 on MPlayer 1.0Pre1 Is Here · · Score: 1

    I finished installing at around 0100, and the new version was released in the morning. I discovered that in the morning, but it wasnt until the evening that it was posted on slashdot. I can see why the /. Editors dont post new releases as soon as they happen, although the /. effect is inevitable as some point in time. Anyway, at least mplayer works. Now it's a question of "should I fix it? It isn't broken, just obsolete" Hmm...
