My winamp also locks up too under those circumstances, it is very annoying - version 2.x never used to lock up. I'd use foobar2000 but I use the roboDJ winamp plugin:(
On the subject of WMP 10, the thing that really needed fixing since WMP 6.x was the interface - they broke it horribly which is why many people me included would rather use mplayer2.exe. Actually I use Zoom Player mostly now as it has a mostly sensible interface and you can configure all the keyboard/mouse shortcuts.
Still looking for your point here.. You don't like perl because it isn't strongly typed is all I can see you saying.apart from your factless "perl is a mess" whine.
Anyway back on topic, are you still scared of operators. you say in your trollish first post to this topic.
Look at all of those operators!!!!
Which in particular scares you, '!=' or is it the terrifying '==' or is it containing code within curly braces,>=?. I can help you if you want, * means multiply, / means divide. Square brackets are for arrays.
Do you get the point, most of the operators in that table are familiar to most programmers. (or at least to programmers who are willing to open their eyes and read).
The vast majority of those operators also already exist in perl which since you say " This cannot mean good things for Perl. Look at all of those operators!!!!" can only mean you dont know much or anything about perl currently except you dont like it.
There is the problem with Perl, lots of people start to learn it and as soon as they can get something to run they think they have mastered it.
Then they look at someone elses code and realise they actually know bugger all.
The "problem" is that perl is very forgiving and caters to newbies by having easily accessible features while also catering to experts. Then when the clueless look at decent code their little minds boggle and they start despise perl because it makes them feel stupid.
Do you look at C++ and say "OMG so many options, look there are curly brackets and square brackets and cin and cout and vectors and ++ and != operators and so much more I give up! ".
Yes there is a lot to perl if you look at it all expressed in the form linked in the article, but other languages would look similarly complex if laid out like that.
As for my superior posting, it was as it actually contained some content. Look at the other persons reply - they made a good point instead of your backwards whining.
blog != CMS, I know the slashdot topic itself has blurred these two things. Bad slashdot! *smack*
My site has (IS) a CMS so I can add/change content easily needing only a web browser and so that can visitors can leave comments on articles. Its certainly not a blog though, because they suck ass.
I have created my own in mod_perl/mysql. It has probably taken less time than it would have done to figure out how to use one of the systsems already out there. Plus I had lots of fun making it.
700 american soldiers have lost (their lives) in iraq, but america hasnt lost.. yet.
No side really wins in war - but the objective can fail. In iraq and other occupation situations the occupying army will always fail their objective of occupying, look at vietnam and israel. Israel is only still standing because of the regular injections from the US and look at the meagre resources of those who are against them.
What are we going to do with such a keystone of the internet not compatible with FF?
I use FF and the only websites that dont work with it dont work with any other browser either because they are coded by retarded monkeys disguised as humans.

Why link to a site (in your sig) saying it has perl interview questions when it doesnt.
It does have some perl questions under "java web programming" (wtf?) that are answered with code that starts:
use warnings;
use strick;
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
yes I am bugging you because your sig is bugging me.
Is it your site? If so fix it, if not why embarrass yourself by advertising it.

That site is messed up, why link it if it doesnt even know the difference between perl and java.
here, have a free clue.
THEY AREN'T COMPULSORY!
You don't have to use them, feel free to do things the long way round and pretend you are using another language.
I'm guessing you don't know anything about perl.
It looks almost identical to Alien Breed on the amiga.
I don't know if Alien Breed was "inspired" by some previous game too but I wouldn't be surprised.
There are no perl interview questions in the link in your sig, contrary to what you state.
Why did the EU fine them in australian dollars?
To rub it in by making them go to the Bureau D'change?
Out of curiosity what software do you use for Web and email?
IE is massively bloated and includes FTP functionality.
outlook express has usenet functionality
Opera has usenet/email functionality.
So what software are you using that ONLY does one thing?
You either are compliant with XHTML strict or you aren't, you cant be a bit compliant with it.
It doesnt validate, and it's not just comments that fail validation (which I could half understand) but the actual page structure in places.

It is not a toy man, its a toy dinosaur.
not only did I spell "buy" as "but" but slashdot stripped the pound symbols too.
HTML entities dont seem to work either.. anyone know how to post a pound sign?
The other scenarios... some of the songs are 99p each.
That means you can download 10 tracks for 9.90
Many albums contain more than 10 tracks.
So I would rather go to the shop, but the physical CD for 9.99 (a massive 9p extra) and probably get more tracks for my money.
So Moore was essentially right then.
The guy who wrote the hardylaw.net page (David T. Hardy) re-edits it regularly so that he always looks right.
David T. Hardy doesnt admit to it though, instead he cryptically calls the hiding of his mistakes "Some criticisms not given on this page."
And you are angry with Moores editing? I suspect you are angry with his politics more than mere "editing".
Use the edit css extension in firefox, then you can see the results of your CSS coding in realtime.
Then a bit later test in IE and smack your forehead when you realise how backwards it is in supporting simple css.
Comes with a hooding device for remote hooding.
*torture electrodes are an optional extra
Last thing I knew nobody sends billions of dollars of military aid to palestine, hence meagre resources.
What resources are you talking about mr Cowardly anonymous right winger?
It depends how you define "winning".

He seems to really hate perl since he keeps picking on it in particular.
Perl has some problems but the way libraries work is not different to most other languages.
I find that hard to believe sometimes:
read the first few pages - hmm this guy doesnt like firefox... then skip to the bottom of page 5
He doesnt post again after he is outed...
How many of them post on slashdot?
Activision's job web site doesnt work in firefox?
What are we going to do with such a keystone of the internet not compatible with FF?
