I dont get it. whenever a company (i.e. warner bros) releases a video/trailer in qt, we all complain since its a proprietary format, and then some1 points out mplayer can play it. Now, when a community-based thing releases a video in almost every format BUT quicktime, we get pissed. I guess thats just slashdot...
"We"? Contrary to popular belief there are a variety of opinions among slashdot's users. Some people hate QT and will complain when there's a trailer in that format. Some people love QT and will complain when there's not a trailer in that format. What's so weird about that?
I question calling a disease epidemic when it only kills tens out of millions of the local population, but they labelled it
"Epidemic" is a statistical term. It means that there are at least a certain percentage more cases than normal. It has nothing to do with the ratio of infected persons to the population in general
How can he have vision about travelling faster than the speed of light? Isn't that a contradiction?
